Elric, Spawn of Elric

Network and Updates

Braneloc — Sun Apr 27, 2008 10:55 pm (GMT 0)

My main project is swinging around again, so more graphics and gui code is going to be arriving soon.

There are several network libraries at the moment, all behaving differently and being used in other projects, no doubt I'll need poking with a stick to release these in public.

In order of development...

Far from dead

Braneloc — Wed Feb 28, 2007 12:28 pm (GMT 0)

Just to let you know, this project is far from dead, no matter how quiet the forum may be.

Work continues, albeit slowly now the project is in regular use. Elric is being used and relied upon in larger projects - which means updates will be made and continue to be made on a long term basis, even if infrequently.

This forum is monitored several times a day via RSS, so any posts can be seen quickly. This is also why the spam on the forum is removed rapidly or it would be overloaded by now...

Please feel free to contact me via this forum or over at ILS

Having problems integrating XNA gui directly with the content pipeline, but it does work perfectly with flat files. Indirectly however, is a different story.

..and on another note, the network component is currently being updated, with any luck the first release will be before 2007. The client/server examples are working, it just needs a bit more cleaning up before I'm happy for a release.

Maintenance release4 is live on sourceforge now. There are a few things that may be wrong with this release, most notably the XNA stuff only works on XNA beta1, I will be updating this when I get a chance along with the driver for Irrlicht.Net CP. At the moment, I am focusing on the ILS driver for the ILS Christmas competition, but this will shift back to updating the others as soon as time becomes available.

Any problems (particularly with the ILS driver), please post here or on the ILS forums.

Next Release

Braneloc — Fri Nov 03, 2006 4:12 am (GMT 0)

I will be releasing a maintenance release as soon as I get a chance, hopefully over the weekend containing all the new stuff in SVN.

Then it's onto updating for the fantastic new XNA beta 2 Elric's GUI will be supporting the content pipeline somehow through loaded gui items.. and will still auto-create them on the PC for editing nicely.

Ok, the new forum is up and running since Elric seems to be generating more interest than I expected, welcome to the new boards.

If you are using/testing Elric in any way, I'd really like to hear from you.

Please note: This forum is regularly monitored via RSS, so your post will be seen very quickly. Do not assume lack of actvity means this project is dead, I am using Elric in a major project that takes most of my time.

RE: Code Contributers - IMPORTANT Please read

As per .NET conventions:

We are using camelCase for field/variable/parameter names throughout.
We are using PascalCase for methods/properties/classes/etc
We are not using hungarian notion or any other wierd naming stuff
We are not using prefixes for variables/fields
We are using properly descriptive names wherever possible
We are using XML commenting as much as possible
We are commenting changes to orignal code and similar
We are putting variables near the top of the class file so we can find them easily
We are using #region to group stuff together
etc.

Please post your contributions here if you don't have write access to SVN.

Please mark any posts clearly with filename, description, and what the heck we are supposed to do with them

If you are posting code fragments, please post them as an entire method complete with XML comments, makes things much easier to manage.
