Re: [libsecondlife-dev] Source engine

[Jonathan]

I don't disagree. Havok2 has physics controls that could cause quite a lot of bandwidth if included on the server end. As you kinda hinted, to license Havok2 wouldn't fly far for an open source reverse engineering project. If I read correctly, the Havok2 engine is within the Source Engine, which again wouldn't fly far for an open source reverse engineering project to license. However, if somehow Havok2 was included in the client to match the physics of the server... well, real life demands my time right now.. thanks for the talk Ryan Gahl wrote: Ohh, well I'll just stick with my opinion that if anyone is thinking about re-writing a full client, they use something like Ogre (www.ogre3d.org), that abstracts so much for you, and is free.

For example, if we use Half Life 2 and mod it to use libsecondlife access to place textures, maps, etc, how for can it go to work well with the dynamics of Second Life? Perhaps, there is another published game like Half Life 2 that uses the Source Engine and can provide mod ability and give enough of an interface to interact with SL.

I couldn't find anywhere on that page where they mention an open source version... do they have one?

This would mean there would be no controls to edit content or administrate groups and land, which may be desirable for members that are not immediately interested in content creation or ownership. You do get advanced graphics with Havok2 cabilities matched with scalable performance over multi-cores. _______________________________________________ libsecondlife-dev mailing list libsecondlife-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/libsecondlife-dev http://www.libsecondlife.org/ -- Ryan Gahl Application Development Consultant Athena Group, Inc.
