WebNaali demo with actual client functionality is up. It currently works only in stable Chrome, version 13. We'll look at Firefox support next.
Client is at http://www.realxtend.org/webnaali/ws3dclient.html It doesn't have progress bars, and it takes long for the scene to download with the textures, and during that you mostly just see a white page now. Be patient. The Tundra server this connects to is running at playsign.fi. You can connect there with the native client too (release 1.0.8) -- address playsign.fi and default port (2345), no auth. At least on a powerful machine is fun to have both native and browser client connected there, and move with either one and see it move in the other window etc. I'll make a demo video of this when get the chance. The scene has avatar and chat application running, and those work interoperably: both native and browser clients get avatars, see each others avatars move (sliding feet without animation in WebNaali now), and the simple text chat works (currently WebNaali users don't show in the chat participants list that the native version has, but everything they say shows there as said by 'WebSocket'.) It uses the same TOY lobby scene as the rendering test we published earlier -- that works in all recent versions of Chrome (the 14-17 beta&dev versions) and in recent Firefoxes .. so if you don't have Chrome13 but want to see the scene anyway, this works: http://www.realxtend.org/webnaali/toylobby/scenetest.html Later beta & dev versions of Chrome have changed the WebSockets protocol, and our server end is not compatible yet (should be easy to get working by updating to recent libraries, people seem to work on those every day and we have tested those now). So the actual client doesn't work with those now. Firefox support should be simple to add. So it's up for testing, let's see what happens, and we'll improve and make a video and announce it a bit bigger on the blog etc then. The code is straight the master branch of WebNaali from github, we consider it 0.1 now. Kudos to Rauli for the bulk of the work! ~Toni -- http://groups.google.com/group/realxtend http://www.realxtend.org
