Unofficial Call-out for Open Source Volunteers @ MOUL forum

[J'Kla]

From what Rand said (and that does involve some reading between the lines) at the Myterium the game engine will be fully open source once the extras have been stripped out.

There is one thing I am not over clear on if people have all these modified down loaded ages they are loading with Drizzle and they run in the Stand alone Combined Chronicles version of the server where exactly are these add-ons to be stripped from.

If it is the server then were they in the original Until Uru server and if they are not would it be viable to rework that. There has to be some sort of work around.

As a straight question we have been working with Blender adding ages to The Combined Chronicles version can those ages be added to a Until Uru shard. I am slightly at a loss as to what we are actually waiting for?

The things like Bink and maybe PhysX, depending, will have to be stripped from the client, ie. UruExplorer, the program the we players run to play.

The servers, for starters, currently use a commercial database solution (Oracle?), as far as I understand. (any sort of PhysX "transport" include thingummies on there as well?)

They should all be possible to substitute with open source equivalents, but it will take some time and work by people with the know-how, who may have to make some protocol change decisions. I am sure it would help if the person intending to shoehorn, say, ODE in, were also involved with the removal of Havok/PhysX -- getting familiar with the mode of implementation, so to speak.

I am pretty sure I've seen at least one person expressing his intent on doing something about Plasma's relience on DirectX. :)

Until Uru isn't very interesting compared to Alcugs, especially the current Alcugs version maintained by diafero.
Alcugs shards are currently running all fan Ages, so they're not waiting for anything.
