Hi all, I agree. </aol> In addition to that mp_broadcast.nas, which is the communication layer of WildFire (among other things), can easily be extended to use the same ignore property to ignore selected users. > If we feel that groups are a good idea, an enhancement to Pete's suggestion > above > would be easy to implement and provide a very flexible function if we have > client-side > ignore: > > 1) Each client transmits a /sim/user/group property over MP With the current state of our MP system I would strongly suggest that we let the group property be an integer if we decide to add it. Strings are still expensive (in terms of size) to send. The number could e.g. be a hash of the group name. Besides, 2^32 groups ought to be enough for anyone ;) Cheers, Anders -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anders Gidenstam WWW: http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
