hmm, I don't really get what this program is supposed to do? how does the server accessing all the zone files help someone elses client show models in other zone files?
would't you need a modified client to be able to listen to orders from the server to look in a diffrent zone file than the one you are currently in to pull a model out of it?
as it is now in another post somewhere around here someone explains how to change the not too new .txt files for loading diffrent models into zones, pretty easy except you'd have to have anyone who plays on your server download and put these files in their eq folder for them to see other models that you have loaded in a zone.
now if this program accesses all the files simultaneously wouldn't that kill memory pretty quickly also? or does it only load in stuff that is currently being used? but even so if the server is pushing out all this data to all the clients clients connected isn't that gonna chew up bandwith? still don't understand how the client is supposed to accept model and texture data that way though?
also, how have you tested this program in the past if you can't compile it now? and why develop it in a way that only m$ .net can compile? I personally don't even want .net framework on my computer, am really against microsoft stuff after reading about the tcpa laws they'd like to have congress pass, unfortunatly stuck with windows still and hope their little friend company of theirs doesn't win this battle over linux, though I haven't read up on it in a while so not sure what's going on with it, if microsoft gets it's way though can kinda kiss open source projects like this away though if you read what stuff like their "security" chip called the fritz chip will allow them to do, just imagine a world where a few clicks from a government offical or top company guy can say I don't want this document this guy wrote to be read anymore, and instantly patched to all computers to blacklist that document and it can never be opened no more, try to crack it, federal offence, try to get rid of the "security" chips they forced into everyones pc's federal offence
but anyway jeez I went totally off the point there but this wasn't meant to be a flame or anything, just wondering what this program is exactly supposed to do and how it's exactly supposed to work
and just incase anyone is interested in what I was talking about
http://www.againsttcpa.com/what-is-tcpa.html
and just look into companies backing it
and if you guys running this project don't want this kind of talk against stuff like this on the board just lemme know and I'll edit all that out, just figure it'd be good to let people be aware of it since you don't see anyone talk about important things like this on the news, that's probably why the dmca law got passed and our government was allowed to bully denmark into picking up those laws too.
pretty sure scorps daughter's sig has a link to that in it
