Major hack of the MOULa server this evening?

[diafero]

I'm not sure if it is possible to auto-load the current prp format into an engine that does this right (TM). But if it is, I think it's going to be the most complex part of the engine...

[Branan]

the solution is to move most python and logic processing to the server... but all the PRPs and python scripts assume they're talking to a single client. It might be possible to dynamically "switch out" object pointers in a way that lets these bits run on a server and still think they're talking to one client... but it won't be simple by any means.

Just FYI, we discussed moving the python to the server for MQO. I don't know the details of implementing this - only that it is viable.

[Paradox]

UU had some server-side Python for a few things ('heek I think?).

So it's definitely possible and viable... just for some reason not implemented in MOUL :\

[Tsar Hoikas]

Yes, Heek was server side in UU. That is now a client-side "game" in MOUL.

[N. Sigismund]

Could the reason be server load, maybe?

[Tsar Hoikas]

I like to think that server python no longer exists in MOUL, but I wouldn't know. I do know that making Ayoheek part of the plGameMgr made sense though--they had already created that functionality for TicTacToe and BlueSpiral, so why not make heek client side like everything else? Of course, I don't pretend to understand Cyan, so my speculations might just be complete garbage.
