OK... I guess I'll explain ColdC a little more. While ColdC allows you to have native methods--its not designed with the same concepts as lua--that being slapdash mixing of compiled and scripted code. The ColdC language was designed as a clean, safe, system for a server to be coded in. Because it strongly defines server and database roles, you generally have a much more stable database (last time I remember a 'crash' on the Cold Dark was over a year ago). So basically, you can likely do what you want--but I wouldn't suggest doing much driver hacking. The driver is an interpreter--not the game engine itself. The game engine is written in ColdC. For a manual see: <A HREF="http://ice.cold.org/bin/help?node=coldc">http://ice.cold.org/bin/help?node=coldc</A> And make note when you are at that web server--*EVERYTHING* there is written in ColdC, and is all running under the same server (that is, the entire virtual environment, http server and many other things are all written in ColdC). -Brandon </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00334" HREF="msg00334.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] CORBA, RMI, threads</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> Marc Eyrignoux <Marc.Eyrignoux#efrei,fr></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00341.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Arctic's Project?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00343.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Unique items (was: Graphic MUDS/Ultima Online)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00471.html">CORBA, RMI, threads</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00012.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00342"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00342"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] CORBA, RMI, threads</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00334" HREF="msg00334.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] CORBA, RMI, threads</A></strong>, Marc Eyrignoux <a href="mailto:Marc.Eyrignoux#efrei,fr">Marc.Eyrignoux#efrei,fr</a>, Wed 28 Jan 1998, 10:09 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00340" HREF="msg00340.html">CORBA, RMI, threads</A></strong>, s001gmu <a href="mailto:s001gmu#nova,wright.edu">s001gmu#nova,wright.edu</a>, Thu 29 Jan 1998, 14:46 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00468" HREF="msg00468.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] CORBA, RMI, threads</A></strong>, coder <a href="mailto:coder#ibm,net">coder#ibm,net</a>, Sun 15 Feb 1998, 13:38 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00471" HREF="msg00471.html">CORBA, RMI, threads</A></strong>, s001gmu <a href="mailto:s001gmu#nova,wright.edu">s001gmu#nova,wright.edu</a>, Mon 16 Feb 1998, 01:53 GMT </LI> </LI> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00342" HREF="msg00342.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] CORBA, RMI, threads</A></strong>, Brandon Gillespie <a href="mailto:brandon#roguetrader,com">brandon#roguetrader,com</a>, Thu 29 Jan 1998, 15:53 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="00012" HREF="msg00012.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></strong>, Mike Sellers <a href="mailto:mike#online-alchemy,com">mike#online-alchemy,com</a>, Fri 02 Jan 1998, 21:21 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00047" HREF="msg00047.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></strong>, JC Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,Eng.Sun.COM">claw#under,Eng.Sun.COM</a>, Tue 06 Jan 1998, 02:44 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00048" HREF="msg00048.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></strong>, coder <a href="mailto:coder#ibm,net">coder#ibm,net</a>, Tue 06 Jan 1998, 04:52 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00049" HREF="msg00049.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] The impact of the web on muds</A></strong>, coder <a href="mailto:coder#ibm,net">coder#ibm,net</a>, Tue 06 Jan 1998, 04:59 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
