Tgb And Opentnl?

by C. N. · in Torque Game Builder · 05/23/2006 (3:04 pm) · 6 replies

Sup everybody,

I just noticed that there's an open source version of TNL called OpenTNL? I was wondering what the odds were of getting OpenTNL working with TGB to produce realtime networking?

I wonder what how difficult it would be to integrate a purchased version of TNL into TGB?

Thanks for any insight.

Did you try Torque 2D/RealTimeNetworking ?

The main problem is the license applied to OpenTNL ... last time I checked it, it was GPL, which can't be used with TGB (as you are not allowed to give the sources to any one not owning a license as well)

The license "problem" can be rectified by purchasing a commercial license.

The main problem with OpenTNL and TGB is that there are a bunch of namespace clashes that mean you can't derive from TNL::NetObject and SimObject. At least, not without a lot of work.

@Joseph Helm: unfortunately that is not available to mere TGB owners. I assume that is a thread for T3D customers on how to use the full networking with TGB nee T2D?

@Joseph Helm: Thanks for that link. I don't own TGE but I'll think about getting it to accomplish what that article describes.

A license to TGE would cost less and hook more easily than TNL indie, I believe.
