You can't really have a server without a socket or packet manager, which is what raknet provides us with.

Overview:

• Raknet should handle socket messages and connections, and the server should only ADD a player if a connection is verified from raknet
• Raknet should handle unknown packets without calling any server events
• Raknet should properly handle login queue's
• Raknet should be able to properly time out connections based on their last packet sent.

A basic command api for Netrex

Overview

While I have implemented a "skeleton" api for this, it needs to be matured and must include:

• A CommandSender class, to identify who sent the command
• Ability to prepare commands before they are loaded to the CommandManager
• Ability to handle permissions upon request in Command#prepare() without needing to check in onRun or onExecute
• Ability to disable a command via Command#disable() or CommandManager#disableCommand()
• Ability to toggle certain default commands in Netrex.yml
• Ability to alias certain default commands in Netrex.yml

Fully implement ACK and NAK

Overview

• Needs ACK Packets
• Needs NAK Packets

Considered writing an API for plugins?

It could enable a port of Mavoric and would expand the possibilities of this even further.

There is currently an issue with decompressing binary streams. I have a few solutions but heres the issue. zlib.unzip() is expecting a chunk that isn't incomplete or shorter than what was provided.
The first hack fix:

zlib.unzip(Buffer, { finishFlush: zlib.constants.Z_SYNC_FLUSH }, callback);

This creates our first issue where only the first few chunks are decompressed, causing lots of errors in the future

Another hack fix I plan do to is pipe the buffer directly and chunk the stream, then pass it through callback.

Needs to have something that redirects a message to a handler which builds packets on ID. (not sure how i wanna do this lol)

Overview

• Have a handler that handles incoming messages
• Packet identity, identify packet and handle it based on what packet it is. (Maybe a packet map)
• Handle packets as necessary
