This could be hacked in, but we'd rather do it properly. The proper way to implement this is as a dynamic module for user server, but unfortunately user server doesn't yet support dynamic modules. Other than that, there shouldn't be any blocking issues towards grid mode. You can already setup grid where every region has "ModularRex.dll" as their client stack, then users can use some of the realXtend features, but they need to press Shift+R (in 0.4x viewer) to view the scene with OGRE rendering. > > Could we help developing grid mode and other essential features?
