I registered and requested observer role, but i can't write anything to the forums (or i don't find the button to do this  ).

I thought about the same thing and ended with the conclusion to make this simulation on the clients and only check the submitted positions on the the server. Otherwise I fear to overburden the object store. I think the object store will generally be the bottleneck, when you try to simulate large worlds.

Thanks a lot for your quick answers. It's good to hear, that all those things will be implemented in the future.
I wish you best of luck with sgs, it's really worth to become a great success.

Hi there,

i found the time for playing around with the darkstar early access release this weekend, now i have some questions .

1. How  can you define third party libraries your app needs? In the deploy.xml i found no parameter or such thing, to make the sgs load the libraries. I tried adding the library to the classpathURL attribute separated with ";", added the library to the server's lib directory, or added it to the classpath when starting the server, nothing worked.

2. Is it possible to schedule events with a finer accuracy than 1 second using the PDTimer?

3. In the final product, will there be a possibility to acquire some of the game objects directly out of the object store from an application which runs not in the game server? For example some web application which shows the players online status.

I really like the sgs, looks like the software i was all the times looking for

Christoph

You're welcome. I was looking for the same problem a few weeks ago, and there i found this little paper. Unfortunately i hadn't enough time for implementing this method. If you get some results about this issue, i would be glad if you could give a short note

Perhaps you can need something like this?
