Hi all,
I am quite interested in what your trying to do, having played about =
with the ideas for one of these for more years than I care to think =
about :-)
I have some general questions I would like to ask who ever is in the =
know, feel free to ignore the 'sensitive' ones :-)
1) Are you going to add to the FAQ how to build the stuff ? I am =
currently running on Win2k with VC6 ( though I have a linux box also to =
try this out on ) and it appears you have some paths coded to your =
environment and not within the project file, e.g. whatever\nel\include =
is missing.
It would be useful in the FAQ if it contained a list of any dependencies =
that the system also requires like the STL code. Yeah I know its in =
there :-) But it will save you answering the same question lots of time =
for those that don't look at the src
2) Care to release at least a rough schedule on the website, so that =
people can see when bits and pieces of the jigsaw are going to be =
released ?
3) Congrats on releasing the src early, that means we can start reading =
and learning now before we have 1000's of files to wade through.
4) very interested to see talking about using python, having started =
playing with it a few months ago, it has alot going for it. Are you =
going to embed it and interface it to the API's available so that people =
can use it for developement within the system, or is it more an external =
glue language ? Could be very useful for rapid prototyping AI and NPC =
routines
5) In your event dispatch system, how do you intent to get around the =
problem of 'event blizzards' on a busy system ? Having seen this problem =
in other systems that rely on events for inter-object comms, I am =
interested on how you are going to get around the problem, e.g. =
multi-threaded round robin dispatch, multiple dispatchers etc.
Congrats on embrassing the open source idea for your server, and I look =
forward to messing around with the system and the source.
Regards
Tom
