Frequently Asked Questions

- - - - - -

FAQ? What's a FAQ?

- -

FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions. It is a document that try -to answers most questions that people ask when they first come across a -project or run into problems.

The NeL FAQ tries to answer the most pertinent questions that come across -the NeL mailing list.

- - - - - -

What is NeL exactly?

- -

- - - - - -

What does the acronym NeL means?

- -

NeL stands for Nevrax Library. It is a set of routines aimed at the -development of multi-user virtual environments in an IP network. It is used as -the core for client and server software to create various forms of Internet -entertainment.

- - - - - -

Is this for a game?

- -

Yes and no. NeL is technically available for all forms of Internet -virtual environments, but is clearly aimed toward making a -Massively MultiPlayer Online Role Playing Game (or MMORPG) as its -first commercial application. The associated client and server software, -which are distributed along NeL are for that type of game.

Details on the game itself are not available right now, for commercial -strategy reasons. However, a sample game will be available along with the -code base.

- - - - - -

Any other games?

- -

Nevrax, as a commercial entity, does not have other games scheduled -right now. However, nothing stops anybody else from using the NeL platform -and making a strategy wargame, or a virtual city, or anything else.

- - - - - -

NeL and Free Software

- -

- - - - - -

Have you checked WorldForge/Crystalspace/QuakeForge/others...?

- -

We have looked carefully at the other Free Software projects available, -before reinventing the wheel. They're all more or less compatible with ours, -on a purely license level, thanks to the GPL, but -that does not mean they can fit in our development. We (the NeL maintainers) -are a commercial entity with a specific product to be delivered on time.

We want to keep a tight focus on the game we are doing right now, and -thus did not want to get involved in political struggles to get the code -we would need in, and did not want to create resentment by "taking over" -and steering other projects toward our goals, or creating a code fork -for our own purpose. Our timetable requires us to be more or less in control -of things.

- - - - - -

How can you make money if you're writing Free Software?

- -

That's the catch. Free Software doesn't mean free content, or free -service. While the software will be free, we retain property of our game -data and game servers. Free Software and OnLine games are a perfect match, -as these games are not really just code, but rather a service provided -to subscribers which will pay a monthly fee to access our servers to play -our game.

We believe that we have everything to gain, and nothing to lose by -opening the source code.

- - - - - -

I have found this bug...

- -

The site has a bug -report section devoted to this. The easiest thing is to report the bug -using the appropriate tool, which ensures that your bug will get attention -and you will be notified of the bug's progress and eventual eradication.

- - - - - -

NeL Architecture

- -

- - - - - -

I have a question on NeL architecture...

- -

Woah. First, have a look at the various NeL -documentations available. In theory, most of the things -you want to ask about NeL's architecture and technical choices are -explained there.

- - - - - -

What kind of APIs do you support?

- -

NeL uses an abstraction layer to separate the engine workings from the API -use. In theory, any API can be supported. Right now, NeL uses OpenGL to -get more portability across operating systems. Any card with an OpenGL -driver will thus work fine.

Other divers can be added, including a software mode for those who really -want one. But performance without a 3D accelerated card will probably be -abysmal.
