Final preparations…

Filed under: Uncategorized — SirGolan @ 11:12 pm

I’m just about ready for the first open source MV3D release. I have a few decisions to make about the website, then I think it would be helpful to have up to date documentation that at least gets people started with the server and client.

There’s still one bug ticket left for the release, but I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue, so I’ll probably make the release without fixing it. That’s not to say that there aren’t any other bugs. I’m sure there are tons! And to repeat myself, there’s not even the remotest hint of a game here. This is just the simulation framework.

While I was doing some testing this weekend, I had up to 900 terrain chunks and 2000 cubes going. One terrain chunk is 1000×1000 meters(ish). Suffice it to say, I didn’t bother walking from one side to the other since it would have taken me too long. Performance is pretty good. Building terrains on the client side slows things down a bit. I’m debating between using libnoise or using a cooperator to spread out the work a bit. By the way, with 900 terrain chunks, the server was clocking in at just under 1gb of RAM use on Windows.

One of the great improvements in the last couple of weeks is that objects on the client wake up immediately as soon as they need to now. Before, they wouldn’t wake up until the next time the server considered them (which with 900 terrain objects and 2000 cubes could be a while since it only thinks about maybe 20 non-active items per second).

I did have to track down an annoying invalid pointer reference today. Something in Ogre was storing a regular pointer instead of a smart pointer to a mesh, so when the mesh was destroyed, that pointer was invalid.

I’m still debating about pointing www.mv3d.com to trac.mv3d.com. And I just realized I still need to open some ports to allow the login server to be reachable outside my firewall.

That’s all for now. Hopefully a release will happen this week!
