Hi there, first post here.I have been playing around with rex for the weekend, so i am still not very knowledgeable about it, but i found it very interesting to start with. I am currently looking for an open source runtime for a research idea that involves a virtual underwater world with fish, so rexes default world beneath the waves was a great find. I have only been using rex using the provided bins (in their current versions) and started with the old rexServer 0.5 / non-naali combo first. In the second step i tried naali with the 0.5 server and was blown out of the water ;-) Graphically naali is really beautiful. The first problem arose when i switched to the taiga 0.1.2 server. Maybe its only a beginners mistake, but when i join the default region, i only get a water world with an island in the middle, not the one with the fisheaters and such. What content would i have to copy over to taiga to enable beneatch the waves? My second thing is rather a question. Today i started by checking out the rexBots.xml and the wiki pages "Content Scripting Python Bots" and "Setting up bots". So in my beginners understanding, i can control WalkTo(self,vDest), FlyTo(self,vDest) and RotateTo(self,vDest). I will check the py scripts for the one for the platypus bots. But can i also control other aspects of the bots? Like their size for example? And is there a good example of a bot controlling multiple entities (like a swarm of fish)? For the latter i imagine the ink blob thing might help, right?
If you can shed some insight on either point i would be grateful. Paul -- http://groups.google.com/group/realxtend http://www.realxtend.org
