http://home.earthlink.net/~mbielawa/3dworlds.pdf A while back I proposed non-flat maps for worldforge. It was recommended to me that I develop the idea as a whitepaper with more detail. Well, here it is. It includes some reasons for doing so, some ideas on how to adapt MIM, as well as suggestions for how to modify the editor and client. Newtonian physics are also touched on, and other sundry issues. I hope you find this paper useful. It is 140k with mostly vector illustrations, so it shouldn't be too much trouble to download. ______________________ Mark Bielawa "I felt so much better when I stopped expecting the Universe to make sense" _______________________________________________ Client mailing list Cl...@ma... http://mail.worldforge.org/lists/listinfo/client |

Cool bananas! I have three solid days of work, and a couple of solid drinking (finished uni... WOO HOOO!), then I'll give this a review. I believe there is a process for having white papers reviewed. In any case, this will go into the research archive once reviewed.

Mind if I use this in this month's Chopping Block? If not I really need this in HTML if you can muster it?

Actually, let's adjust the rules a bit to allow Whitepapers to be submitted as PDF's, if that's cool? Also, all whitepapers will go through the whitepaper coordinator (Cyanide) for review &tc. before being submitted to CB, so drop him a line a few days before the due date to get things delivered to you.

Very interesting and a good start. This has raised a couple of issues which I might look into from a world, server and editor point of views.
