Cannot access SteamNetworkingMessages on Standalone version [Version 20.0]

[TeddySJ]

Hey, thanks for all the great work on this project!

I'm porting my existing UDP-style network code to the new interface, so using SteamNetworkingMessages seems like the best option.

However, using the Standalone DLLs I can't seem to access the interface at all, even though the callbacks exist.

Has that interface not been ported, is there an issue with the standalone package, or is the problem sitting in front of my monitor?

Can you recheck this with 20.1.0 ?

https://github.com/rlabrecque/Steamworks.NET/releases/tag/20.1.0

Steamworks.NET/com.rlabrecque.steamworks.net/Runtime/autogen/isteamnetworkingmessages.cs

Line 18 in 53d1718

public static class SteamNetworkingMessages {

It's definitely generated, and should be included in the package.

I did a bit more digging, and it seems like it was just missing from being included in the Standalone project when 20.0.0 was crafted:

Steamworks.NET/Standalone/Steamworks.NET.Standard.csproj

Lines 111 to 113 in 83b0d36

	<Compile Include="..\com.rlabrecque.steamworks.net\Runtime\autogen\isteamnetworking.cs" Link="Steamworks.NET\autogen\isteamnetworking.cs" />
	<Compile Include="..\com.rlabrecque.steamworks.net\Runtime\autogen\isteamnetworkingsockets.cs" Link="Steamworks.NET\autogen\isteamnetworkingsockets.cs" />
	<Compile Include="..\com.rlabrecque.steamworks.net\Runtime\autogen\isteamnetworkingutils.cs" Link="Steamworks.NET\autogen\isteamnetworkingutils.cs" />

As of #481 this should be resolved though, and 20.1.0 should have it included.

[TeddySJ]

For whatever reason, at least the prebuilt binaries don't include them even in 20.1.0.

[TeddySJ]

Some more info: the class is indeed included in the Steamworks.NET.Standard solution, but not in the Steamworks.NET solution and the prebuild binaries!

[TeddySJ]

To conclude, I added the include line in the Steamworks.NET project file and could then build the binaries.

[rlabrecque]

Yep, good call, I got confused by both the .NET Standard and legacy csproj!

I'll try to see if making the change that #481 made to the regular csproj works as well.

I think I'm having this problem with the latest release on GH, linking with the macOS/Linux version of the Steamworks.NET.dll on my mac. Unfortunately, I'm still learning with regards to how packages and imports with regards to .NET so I am open to suggestions.

Edit: per #497, @waltdestler mentioned the DLL from nuget has SteamNetworkingMessages exposed in it. I was able to download the nuget package here, rename it back to a .zip file, and borrow the dll in runtimes/osx-x64/lib/netstandard2.1/Steamworks.NET.dll. After doing that and running dotnet clean && dotnet restore && dotnet build, SteamNetworkingMessages began showing up for me.

Prebuild release package had not been updated since the changes which would fix the issue ; Current prebuilt dlls don't contain SteamNetworkingMessages.
