Shorah All
Here is a very important subject that needs a bit of clarity from the URU veterans out there who know what is happening with PhysX 2.6.4 and the CWE engine.
I have a recently compiled GoW CWE plClient that is built on Physx 2.6.4 SDK and instructions on how to test this by connecting to the Cyan shard using the MOUL-OS tut on github.
On top of this for those who have compiled the plClient, I eventually downloaded PhysX_9.10.0513_SystemSoftware.exe and renamed it PhysX_Setup.exe and placed it in the root folder of MOUL-OS. Then when MOUL-OS refused to run, I had to install that renamed PhysX_Setup.exe by hand.
Now. besides the 3 "Debug Assertion Failed" notices and clicking ignore 3 times, I get to the avatar selection menu, with someone named "eric" in the menu even though I logged in with my username and password. So far so good, but this is as far as it goes! You can mouse around, but you can't login.
Now here is the big question... Since Cyans MOUL is based on PhysX 2.6.0 and the CWE plClient is based on PhysX 2.6.4 can anyone tell me if the custom client will work with Cyan content? Apparently the viewpoint from a few sources is that standard MOUL content will not work with PhysX 2.6.4 SDK, and this gives rise to the next questions...
1) Does anyone have a copy of PhysX 2.6.0 SDK? (Google is proving useless!)
2) Why has GoW decided to break away from compatibility with Cyan? (There was talk of keeping compatibility to extend on what Cyan was doing, and also in keeping in the same spirit of the Uru Story)
3) If we cant access Cyan MOUL content with the CWE plClient, then how do we convert our MOUL content to run with Physx 2.6.4?
I would especially like to here from Deledrius on how to get around the PhysX factor. So far I have a shard about 90% complete and I really need to know this stuff. Please help!
Finally, my last observation might hurt because it is so obvious! Since the GoW fork of CWE is under such heavy development, why havent you guys attached a version number? The reason is; the git clone I made of plasma a week ago compiles just fine except for "libcurl" warnings, whereas the version from this week fails to compile. Since the CWE has such an intensive dev cycle, it would be feasible to start using version numbers. Any comments?
