Projects Client & Server
The Client contains all the Unity scripts
The Server is our MasterServer.sln which is separated into MasterServer and MasterServerModels
MasterServer contains all the server code
MasterServerModels are the models and serialization/de-serialization we share between the Client and the Server
Server Address
The asset is made so that it works with Darkrift server when it's run locally. When you switch to remote server you will have to change the IP address accordingly. 
To do so, open the MultiplayerServer scene there is game object called Networking which holds a component called Client, change the values accordingly
Requests between Server & Client
The Networking  game object holds a NetworkingManager component which we use for all the requests we receive and send.
Receiving requests
We use OnMessageReceived to receive every request from the server. To make things more readable we use Tags enumerator from the MasterServerModels library which is shared between server and client, this way we know what request we are receiving so we can serialize it accordingly. 
Sending requests
Sending TCP/UDP requests to the server is as easy as that, just create a new message with the Tags enum so when we receive it in the server side we know what we are working with and attach a data to it, the data is a serializable class that we hold inside the MasterServerModels  library which we share between the server and the client. Currently we only need TCP requests that's why every message we send is of type SendMode.Reliable
​
Serializing & De-serializing requests
It's as simple as creating a single class like shown in the image. 
Keep in mind we try to avoid large amount of data because these are TCP requests, so it's better if it's contained into smaller and smarter ways. For example lets check our NError class. Instead of sending the full error message we just have int value which we just send the type of the error, when we receive it in the Client side, we check what type the error is and show the correct dialog/error message or whatever it should be.
Working with enumerators is easy and clean way to reduce packet size

For further instructions check the comments in the server code for how things work or if it's easier for u to read there is a locally generated Documentation you can find in the main directory.
