I am clear on what you are saying: Are you claiming that there is nothing wrong with Copyright infringement ?

... and  some cities(like NY) have mass transit systems that let you live with out a car. (just proving your point)

The problem with single player games is that all the sensitive data is on the clients side. Are there any successful single player games that use java? Is there any tool that would allow me to encrypt the class file then hide the key?

Dose java have an increased risk?

I do not know where to post this so I am going to post it here. 

I have been considering making an offline commercial game in java for a long time. The one thing that concerns me is the fear that pirates would decompile my game and remove any security I placed in it then redistribute it for free. Is there any way I can protect my code? 

Some people seem to be afraid that Microsoft will sabotage there OpenGL binding for vista. I think that would be extremely unlikely because it would mean many games will not work on vista witch would deter people to switch, Microsoft’s biggest fear.

What is the stack extension SDK?

I have been thinking about writing a MMO game for a while and have recently heard of DarkStar. After looking over the documentations I believe that DarkStar may be able to cut down the devilment time tremendously. There where a few questions about DarkStar that I have been unable to fined an answer to in the documentation:

1)   If I start developing the application now will I be able to continue devliping it with DarkStar once DarkStar is finished or would I have to pay Sun to use DarkStar as a devilment tool? I would have no problem paying sun royalties but my economic plan would make it impossible to pay until the game becomes profitable wich would take months if it ever happened.
2)   Dose DarkStar handle president storing of GLOs or am I responsible for storing them?
3)   How much bandwidth dose DarkStar require? What is the overhead of sending data?

It is a very cool program although some of the data is old.

Just remember that if you ever want to implement jogl you are going to need to modify the core similar to the way I did and you should ceap that in mined when redesigning jme.

I am going to need to know if this is ready  to be added into jme and, if not, what modifications are needed.


mojo I need to know what you think.

By the way the comments are not yet finished, I will do them right before it is time to add the jogl code into the cvs

All features except for headlessrendering, Render to Texture and shaders are not supported. JOGL requires that all calls to gl must be made inside a callback, to do this i needed to move some code threw the display system. The only notable change is that users can not initiate the input system in initSystem() and intGame() is now public.

You mentend that some of your code was changed to make it simpler to port to jogl. I have already made a jogl renderer that can be found on this form

Would this work with light sorting?

Remember that many people want to wright commercial games, make shore that this is not violating the patent before implementing it. (Is there a lawyer on this form?)

Hear is the code, you will need the libs for jogl and the ones form jinput on jinput.dev.java.net. Please note that I used the libs that still use the name Axes. If you want to use the new libs then you will need to change the word Axes to whatever they changed it to. I needed to make some changes to the interface to get this working and will explain it when I have the time. By the way render to texture and shaders are not supported.

I finished the jogl renderer I was working on for jme. I should be able to post it when the form is back up.

It is for any program that wants to use the mouse input for something including mouse look.

I tried using the robot code but it effected the readings I got with jogl. Is there any way that I can tell jinput not to look at that data that robot is giving.

That my work for a full screen program but when it is not full screen then I would have problems when the mouse goes of my screen. When this happens and the user clicks the mouse then the game would lose focus which is a bigger problem then the mouse being visible.

You can also use lighting.

I am making a jogl renderer for jme and using jinput for input. everything is working ok except that I can not figure out how to hide the mouse with java 1.4/jinput.jogl. can any one tell me how to do this.

I am working on a JOGL reindeer for JME. I have a partial implementation working at this time but I am having tromle using the GLEventListener. Is thare any way to just call gl without using GLEventListener?


This may be a bit off topic but dose any one know how to disable the mouse using java/JOGL/Jinput?

What would happen if you make the game frame rate independent and give ode the average step size every now and then.

You can fined mojo's explanation for the site down hear.

Mojo can you still control the doname name? If so I suggest that you redirect it to this form. I am sure that some people do not know about it.

It was down longer then it was last time. Maybe jme should start looking for a new isp. Hopefully it will be back soon. Don't loose hope in jme.

The asserts were removed form the cvs a few days ago
.

JME contains many ways to improve the fps including impostere and lod (I do not know about Xith3D). If you are considering witch engine to use take this into account.
