[Nel] Questions about compiling

[윤 홍준]

My name is Hong-Jun Youn, who is game programmer in Korea.  I used to be 
dealing with AI, and DB by using SQL, but my new project is making new 
system for MMORPG.  My company is the first company made RPG game in Korea. 
You may visit at www.dsnet.co.kr and click English at the top on the right 
side.  You may reference our company history and products, but you cannot 
download our free game ("Three Kingdoms").  Even though you cannot read 
Korean, just click on the left side (right below "Home" --- not click 
flights in a small box), then you may download our RPG game.  

Now, we are going to make MMORPG game, so we need new network engine suits 
every game players' desires totally different from P2P in RPG game.  I 
wandered about in a lot of websites and finally found your product, Nel 
toolkit.  I was a novice before I had undertaken this network project, so I 
looked over many websites (Open skies, WorldForge, Crystalspace, Zona, 
Quazal, X-Caliber, and so on) and read magazines, books, and some articles. 
It seems that your architecture of NeL toolkit is suitable in our system 
compared to other engines.  

I downloaded Source Packages (nel-20020402.zip, nel.zip, 
nelns-20020402.zip, nelns.zip, and snowballs.zip), Data Packages (latest 
snowball data [zip] and cluster_view_data[zip]), and Binary Packages 
(latest Microsoft Windows Snowballs binary with all data and 
nel_launcher[zip] and nevrax UDP bench client Windows binary[zip]) files 
from your website.  I think I must compile every code in order for me to 
test on our system.  However, it is really hard for me to understand your 
codes although there is awesome documentation.  Moreover, English is my 
second language, and the sizes of codes are pretty abundant.  

What I need to reference is only network part.  We are almost finished 3D 
part on our game.  Would you tell me how to compile your toolkit step by 
step in detail?  After compiling your toolkit and testing your snowball 
game, I will decide if it is better idea to use your open source or not.  
Even if I understood how the login system works, I am a still beginner in 
network programming using multi-threaded.  Furthermore, I would be one of 
person who can help your project, especially network program in the future. 


I will rewrite when I get any messages from you or I have further more 
questions.  Please email address@hidden if you are willing to help me 
out.  Thank you very much for listening my scratch.  (I say this only by 
way of suggestion....Our OS system is not Linux but Windows....)


Sincerely, 
Jun

from Korea.
