okay, next is the content of our current config file, hope it s what you
wanted:
---- start of client.cfg
// CLIENT CONFIG FILE

FullScreen = 1;    // 1 = yes
Width = 800;
Height = 600;
Depth = 32;
Position = { 819.269836, -738.062500, 8.277040 };    // the last position on
the world (just for prototype)
Heading = { 0.882310, -0.470668, 0.0 };    // the last direction of the head
Background = { 100, 100, 255 }; // color of the background (temporary, we
wait the sky ;)
DataPath = "\\server\gamedata\data/;    // path of where the data are
FontPath = "\\server\code\fonts\arialuni.ttf;  // the font used in the
client (will change)
LanguageIndex = 1;
LSHost = "pc38"; // our login service server
Login = "foo"; // my login
Password = "bar";    // ... i know, it s not crypted :(
ShardIP = "192.168.1.38"; // the last selected shard
CharacterIndex = 0; // the player character (between 2 possibilities)
---- end of client.cfg

Don't forget that it's a quite young project
and we need time to give some examples and stuff.
We are currently working on a small sample world to give the community
something to kick around and showcase what NeL can do.
We'll release it next week so please be a little patient.
Of course this example will have nothing to do with our final game.
Its main use is to help us to test our library and test our team production
pipelines.

But, as you said below, you could use NeL with your own data: you don't
*have* to wait for us to provide it !

Great! The only potential problem could be for exporting datas.
But it would be neat if you wrote an export pluggin for Maya,
and we'd love to have another example of a program using NeL.
