There's now a basic video too, featuring the same scene in a both native Tundra client and in WebNaali connected to the same Tundra server: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_c-LUR_Hro&feature=youtube_gdata_player I'll write a little blog post about it .. well latest on Tuesday when have a work day again, but possibly before. The server is on the #realxtend channel on irc (freenode), am using that as a way to monitor that the server is up .. but also to see if/when someone visits. That looks like this: 14:18 -playtundra:#realxtend- New user connected: ant 14:28 -playtundra:#realxtend- New user connected: WebNaali 14:46 < playtundra> [ant] hi 14:46 < playtundra> [WebSocket] hello there! 14:46 < playtundra> [WebSocket] greetings from a web browser! 14:46 < playtundra> [ant] nice to hear! [ant] is from native client. I'll add a note to the WebNaali page telling that chatting there is not private, but that kind of a public place .. have been thinking of adding the irc participants (ppl on the #realxtend channel) as some sort of presences (avatars) in the scene too, so people naturally understand that there are folks who hear what they say. Oh and there's a bug now, for some reason messages from irc don't go to web clients -- web clients now see only messages from each other and native tundra clients, will need to debug that. > ~Toni same. > > It doesn't have progress bars, and it takes long for the scene to > > download with the textures, and during that you mostly just see a > > white page now.
