Session Management

Moongate v2 keeps transport and gameplay concerns separated.

Session Types

GameNetworkSession

Transport-level state:

• SessionId
• Client (MoongateTCPClient)
• RemoteEndPoint
• protocol State
• pending bytes buffer
• seed/account/auth flags
• compression/encryption flags

Operations:

• SetState(...)
• SetSeed(...)
• MarkAuthenticated(...)
• EnterGame(...)
• compression/encryption toggles

GameSession

Gameplay/protocol context tied to GameNetworkSession:

• SessionId
• ClientVersion
• AccountId
• CharacterId
• Character (UOMobileEntity)
• movement and ping state (MoveSequence, MoveTime, MoveCredit, PingSequence)

Session Store Service

IGameNetworkSessionService / GameNetworkSessionService:

• GetOrCreate(MoongateTCPClient client)
• TryGet(long sessionId, out GameSession session)
• GetAll() snapshot
• Remove(...), Clear(), Count

Storage is a concurrent dictionary keyed by connection session id.

Lifecycle

1. client connects
2. NetworkService calls GetOrCreate(...)
3. transport state progresses through handshake/auth/game states
4. disconnect removes session from store

Why This Split

• transport concerns (socket/middleware/protocol framing) stay isolated
• game logic operates on GameSession
• easier testing and future protocol transitions
