[Genecys-devel] Warning: Incoming mass commit

[Tim R. <ro...@ga...>]

Just a heads up here.  As some of you might know, I've been franticly working
the past month to ditch the old collision and physics engine, in favor of ODE
( http://www.ode.org ).  This engine is far superior to what I've been using.

As of tonight, I finally have it all working, and am just about ready to commit
the code.  Basically this will mean the following:

1) FreeSOLID will be removed from the tree, and the build.
2) ODE and OPCODE will be added to the build.
3) A huge commit touching every file in the server will be made, containing the
new physics bindings.

I wanted to do this all in one shot, as the game has been totally unplayable,
and the server mostly unstable for the past few weeks.  I wasn't willing to
commit the new code, until the server was at least as featureful as the old
physics/collision engine allowed it to be.  Once I do a few more cleanups, and
a few more quick tests, I'll be committing the code.  Possibly wed or thursday,
barring any disasters.

There will probably be a few bugs to hunt down, though most things seem to
pretty much work.  I'm not really taking full advantage of the features the
physics provide yet, but I intend to do so in the coming months.
