What's this document about? + --------------------------- + +This document contains useful information about SNOWBALLS, NeL, Nevrax, +technical requirements, and caveats about compilation and installation. +It also includes a short "user manual" for the programs provided. It is +highly recommended reading. + + +2. What are NeL and Nevrax + ----------------------- + +You should really take a look at the <A HREF="http://www.nevrax.org/">http://www.nevrax.org/</A> (for NeL) +and <A HREF="http://www.nevrax.com/">http://www.nevrax.com/</A> (for Nevrax). NeL is a free software +framework developped and maintained by Nevrax Ltd, for the purpose of +building internet multiuser entertainment. + +Nevrax is a company dedicated to Free Software, which is why our +tools are covered by the GPL. See the attached license file. + + +3. What's in the package? + ---------------------- + +The package contains: + + - The latest source code for the NeL client and server frameworks + - The source code and data for a sample NeL game called 'SNOWBALLS' + +If you have a source distribution, you need to compile the source to +produce the various executables. If you have a binary distribution, +you have a pre-built exe client for Snowballs, but no source. + +The source code is provided as is, and reflects the state of the NeL +framework at the release date. We have done our best to insure that the +snapshot you are using now compiles and works correctly. However, we +only test on a limited range of configurations, and the vagaries of +OS and hardware means we cannot guarantee it compiles and executes +correctly on your system at the time. + +If you are using CVS, you can keep in synch with the NeL Development Team +as we have included the required CVS information. An update will give you +current source. We do not guarantee that the source in CVS will compile +and work correctly at all time as it includes the latest work in progress. + + +4. Caveat + ------ + +The sample client, server and data files provided do not accurately reflect +our game currently in production. We do not intend penguins and gnus to appear +in the final game, and most of the gameplay you will see does not reflect +what we will implement later. + + +5. Compiling NeL and SNOWBALLS + --------------------------- + +You will need a C++ compiler to properly compile and execute the NeL +framework. The program compiles reasonably under a Unix/GCC environment, +but it has been chiefly tested under a Linux environment. + +The server has been compiled and executed on a Windows machine, but it +is highly recommended that you run it on a separate GNU/Linux machine. The +client has been compiled and executed on a GNU/Linux machine, but will +probably not work on other unix compatible systems (yet). + +The client and server require an operating TCP/IP stack to communicate. + +The data files for the client and server should be in the ./data child +directories of the directory in which the executables are located. + +See the INSTALL file for the requirements and installation instructions. + + +6. Running SNOWBALLS + ----------------- + +It is highly recommended that you run the client on a PC with plenty of +main memory (128Megs+) and a 3D card that supports T&L in hardware and +has 32Mb of memory. Lesser configurations will probably give you very +poor framerates. + +If you want to run your own server, start the naming service on the +machine that you want to use as a server. The binary is named, +appropriately, naming_service. Otherwise, you may use the default server +itsalive.nevrax.org, which is hosted here at Nevrax. + +The client starts normally. Once started, you'll be asked to select +your langage. You then fill in a name and password (which must be +alpha-numeric), and you'll be able to enter the test area. If you enter +a user name that has never been used before on the server that you are +connected to then a new account will be created with the password that +you enter at the 'PASSWORD' prompt. You'll need to remeber this password +as you'll need each time you login in the future. + +Select now your character type and server to play on, and you're set. + +You're now a penguin on an artic snowfield. You have snowballs which you +can throw at other people. When you throw a snowball, you have a few +seconds during which you gather more snow before you can throw the next +one. If you hit someone, your score increases, and the snowed opponent +becomes immune to further snowing (he flashes on the screen) for 5s. He +cannot retaliate while invulnerable. + +If you get stuck somehow, remove the client.CFG file from your client +directory, and restart. Good luck. If you find a penguin named TMS on +the server, it's me, throw me a low one :) + + +7. The controls in SNOWBALLS + ------------------------- + +Use the mouse to look around. +Use arrow keys to move forward, backward, strafe left and strafe right. + +F1: go online (display the login interface) +F2: go offline +F3: switch on/off the wireframe mode +F4: clear the chat window +F5: switch on/off the chat text +F6: switch on/off the radar +F7: zoom out the radar +F8: zoom in the radar +F9: capture or uncapture the mouse +F10: Windows menu +F11: reset player position +F12: take a screenshot +SHIFT-ESC: quit +Left Mouse Button: throw a snowball +Type text followed by ENTER to broadcast messages + + +8.
