Hi-
Is there any way (or any plans for a way) to determine the IP address of
a Vnet visitor IN REAL TIME? Ideally, this would be done through the
applet, and could be done both manually and via a programmatic public
method.
I am in the process of building an open-source multiuser voice chat
system based on the SpeakFreely IP Telephony program. One that works
WITHOUT A CENTRAL SERVER . Anyone familiar with multiuser voice chat
systems should say "What! How do you do that?" We still months from
having even a beta release.
Anyway, IP telephony requires that you know the IP address of the person
you are talking with. Since I would like to eventually combine shared
3D worlds with voice chat (e.g. Traveller, but open source and much
cheaper to run), I am looking for a way to to get an IP address out of
Vnet.
I have not looked at the vnet source code, but can run a vnet server.
If it's not possible now to get the IP address, the simplest way would
be to create a public java method
GetIPAddress(index)
It could then be accessed via JavaScript without modifying the interface
of the EAISceneInterface applet at all. The applet already has
"MAYSCRIPT" turned on.
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Bruce Stephenson
