It took a bit longer than expected, but MV3D version 0.32 is almost ready to go out. At this time, I'm looking for people to test and report any bugs you may find. I've upgraded the alpha server (alpha.mv3d.com) to this version and have it up and running now. You can grab the client and server from SVN if you'd like. Note that a new Media package ( Read more... )

We have a WINNAR here. I did what I was talking about in my last post and made a way to keep track of values that changed often and to just automatically save them every once in a while. Basically, I made an Axiom Item for storing Vectors and Quaternions, then I created a new type of attribute for the MV3D datastore, which specifies that the value ( Read more... )

Ok, so I made a good attempt at a store that allows you to queue objects up to be written to it asynchronously. There were a few tricky spots such as getting queries to use the correct version of the data. Basically, the store had a global revision that would get increased every time you called "sync". The item in the store with the greatest id ( Read more... )

So, I've migrated all of MV3D to using a new type of datastore that has Axiom as its back end. It's pretty sweet and really wasn't a lot of code. The interface is the same as the other MV3D datastores, so it was pretty much a drop in replacement. It is very fast and uses transactions for extra speed. I haven't compared, but I think it's slightly ( Read more... )

I finally got around to getting the Cheezy AD&D Movie online. I posted it to youtube ( Read more... )

It's really odd to be just heading to bed when my wife's alarm clock is going off. She's had early morning schedules and I've had late nights trying to just get everything done ( Read more... )

I've been working on this for quite some time, and I decided that the 0.3 release was a good time to go back and finally finish it up. Here's a video of MV3D:

Note that it shows features that are not in V0.3, but are in trunk (or have been temporarily disabled like the in game editor).

So, I was browsing around on some forums for an MMORPG "construction kit" and saw someone from that company making a post about how they currently don't support collision detection at all on the server, and they don't have any plans for it other than some very basic ability for game designers to check if two bounding boxes are intersecting. That ( Read more... )

glyf beat me to it, but check out MV3D's website (or this url if your DNS server is slow ( Read more... )

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 ( Read more... )
