This is perfect for those MUDs where :most of the action takes place outdoors. In addition, the height field :nature lends itself easily to fractal terrain generation -- maybe it would :be possible for the server to merely send a seed to the clients and have :them generate the fractal terrain client-side. Has there been any :discussion about anything like this earlier? That's what I want to do. You also have to send over information about any exceptions to the fractally computed heights (where builders have customized things), and of course any visible non-terrain stuff in the scene. -- Chris Gray cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00861" HREF="msg00861.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] 3D engines for MUDs</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> J C Lawrence <claw#under,engr.sgi.com></li></ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00851" HREF="msg00851.html">3D engines for MUDs</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Niklas Elmqvist <d97elm#dtek,chalmers.se></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00800.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Dynamic Loading of Modules (was: Back on the list</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00802.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Net protocols for MUDing (was: Moore's Law sucks)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00892.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Parlez vous NPC?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00851.html">3D engines for MUDs</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00801"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00801"><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] Parlez vous NPC?</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00805" HREF="msg00805.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Parlez vous NPC?</A></strong>, Vadim Tkachenko <a href="mailto:vt#freehold,crocodile.org">vt#freehold,crocodile.org</a>, Sat 21 Mar 1998, 04:26 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00807" HREF="msg00807.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Parlez vous NPC?</A></strong>, Matt Chatterley <a href="mailto:matt#mpc,dyn.ml.org">matt#mpc,dyn.ml.org</a>, Sat 21 Mar 1998, 13:12 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00869" HREF="msg00869.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Parlez vous NPC?</A></strong>, Nathan F Yospe <a href="mailto:yospe#hawaii,edu">yospe#hawaii,edu</a>, Tue 24 Mar 1998, 03:39 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00892" HREF="msg00892.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Parlez vous NPC?</A></strong>, Matt Chatterley <a href="mailto:matt#mpc,dyn.ml.org">matt#mpc,dyn.ml.org</a>, Wed 25 Mar 1998, 08:37 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00801" HREF="msg00801.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] 3D engines for MUDs</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Sat 21 Mar 1998, 02:29 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00851" HREF="msg00851.html">3D engines for MUDs</A></strong>, Niklas Elmqvist <a href="mailto:d97elm#dtek,chalmers.se">d97elm#dtek,chalmers.se</a>, Mon 23 Mar 1998, 19:17 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00861" HREF="msg00861.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] 3D engines for MUDs</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Mon 23 Mar 1998, 20:52 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00873" HREF="msg00873.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] 3D engines for MUDs</A></strong>, Ling <a href="mailto:K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk">K.L.Lo-94#student,lboro.ac.uk</a>, Tue 24 Mar 1998, 14:58 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00876" HREF="msg00876.html">3D engines for MUDs</A></strong>, s001gmu <a href="mailto:s001gmu#nova,wright.edu">s001gmu#nova,wright.edu</a>, Tue 24 Mar 1998, 15:30 GMT </LI> </UL> </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>
