Network scene replication, client not loading LOCAL nodes

Hi,

I’m writing a multiplayer game and i’m using scene replication to network everything. I’ve got a bug where when the client joins the server, none of the LOCAL nodes in the scene file loaded by the server, are loaded by the client.

The client only loads the REPLICATED scene nodes, and non of the LOCAL nodes defined in the scene file?

Here are the logs of my Client and Server applications.

Here is the scene file i’m having trouble with, it contains 2 nodes, 1 local and 1 replicated, only the replicated node is loaded by the client?

Found the fix, it was because the Scene.XML file had the octree root component as nodeid=“1” which means its a replicated component, when it should be >116777000
