BetterNetworking

message-based networking layer for Arma Reforger built on top of Enfusion RPCs (RplRpc). It adds session handshakes, request/response messaging, opcode routing, middleware, permissions, rate limiting, and dev tooling without relying on entity replication for gameplay logic. What it does - Establishes a session handshake and queues messages until ready - Routes messages by opcode (no giant switch statements) - Validates traffic through middleware (session, replay guard, rate limit, permissions) - Provides request/response helpers and server-authoritative sender context - Includes Workbench-only tools: trace, record/replay, loopback tests Advantages - Server authoritative: clients are untrusted by default - Clean handler-based API for modular features - Built-in safeguards (replay guard, rate limiting, permissions) - Dev tools for tracing and debugging in Workbench - No dependency on entity replication for gameplay logic Disadvantages / Limitations - Not a gameplay mod by itself; it is a library for other mods - Payloads are strings (JSON recommended), so you manage serialization - Mods that also override SCR_PlayerController / SCR_BaseGameMode may conflict - Dev tools are Workbench-only (no effect in live builds) What you might use it for - Economy systems and shop/purchase flows - UI-driven server requests (admin tools, loadouts, permissions) - Custom gameplay actions with strict server validation - Logging, telemetry, or mod interoperability RPCs - Any mod that needs reliable request/response messaging Notes - Add as a dependency in your addon.gproj and compile in the Game module. - Admin/Moderator permissions are denied by default unless you install a custom provider.
