SinglePlayer

Would it be hard to make MOULa Singleplayer (As in so you didn't require Database software)? I know that URU CC is singleplayer, but if MOULa could be built into a Singleplayer Client then it would open up the possibility of modifying it into a real-time editor.

All of the old code that made Plasma work in single player (and the old multiplayer stuff) was ripped out for MOUL and replaced with very rigid functionality that assumes an online-only environment. In this (and many other) regard(s), CWE/MOUL is inferior to Uru CC. The old functionality could be restored by totally revamping the client-side vault storage and APIs (with a few other tweaks, of course).

Yes, I too have been wondering about this.

Any chance the Open Source license will one day include the game engine you guys use with the Deep Island Shard.

Highly doubtful. The rights to the original Uru might still be contested right now (Ubisoft and so on), and since MO:UL Plasma took so much time to be released, I'm guessing we'll never see old Plasma for the foreseeable future. :|

I would be lucky if we see the content licensed or the server code released in the forseeable future...

The easiest thing to do is to do for the moment is create a Linux script that installs Wine, MOULa*, Dirstand/MOSS and Psql. Then it configures them for you and bang! intent Linux client. (no clue what the overhead to this is compared to two separate machines)

* The end-user would not to spply they own content until we get a content lisense(someone go wackup RAWA)

OK I said it was the "easiest" thing, I did not say it was not difficult or good. :lol:, having said that it's not that odd an idea, MediaPortal a FOSS HTPC actually runs on a similar model.
