Embedding 3DGS game in Web page

Hi Joozey,
> what sort of files are you wrapping here exactly?

1. Your game binary (by the normally publishing command),
2. Our game native loader,
3. Our Java game loader

No 1. and 2. they will be packed together.
And with no 3., it make you game possible to be loaded by Java runtime in/via a browser.

Non embedded works very nicely.
Did I miss something or where can I try the embedded version (not the flash applet which shows what should happen)?

Just one thing about security. This tool might be used for executing malware on other people's PCs.... are you going to add any security stuff or does it explicitly only execute Acknex stuff?

Looks very promising.

Hi Firoball,

>Did I miss something or where can I try the embedded version

The embedded car demo will be published soon ;-)

Don't worry. It's been designed to run only 3DGS games, not for general executable.

Dude...

This is awesome.

Conitec - get this guy an upgrade! Or hold a telathon or something

any idea when you will have a commercial package available?

Nice work - extends the usefulness of A6(7) much!

will you remake the prices etc.?
because I don't see people here who like to pay for every game they like to "try" to make...
an "unlimited Site Deployment Edition" or something like that would be nice...
or is there a reason WHY you want money for every site/domain?

Hi Samb,

I do have the unlimited license, but it's not shown on the website. Also, we can work out the price if someone, eg. a publisher, like to host games for other developers.

Thannks,

Hi testDummy,

It seems you didn't read through the post, do you?
If you'd like to see a working demo of the similar technology (the non-embedded version), just go to http://centillex.com and try some of demos there.

It's also fine that you don't like the name Jack, which is J + Ack. ;-)

Thanks,

Chanwit

Any update on this? I need something like this for a webpage I'm working on. Feel like offering any hints. I've seen documentation on how to do this with delta3d engine, but I'm having a hard time converting.

What if your game has a resource file of say 200MB and the user has slow internet connection, how is content streamed, or does it have to download full resource first before running?

Jethro.

Having a resource file of 200 MB is pointless. In fact, the user would be required to download the whole file.

To circumvent this, you would have to download the needed files on demand by yourself. E.g. you could write your own counterparts for ent_create etc.: you first check if the file exists on the harddrive, you load it from there. If not, you load it from the internet first to the harddisc and then you load it from there. This sort of a cache check could be done fast with a fast hash table.

With certain implementations you could also stream audio data instead of downloading it. The same for textures: if you use a procedural texture system, the bandwith used for the texture descriptions is very low. On the clientside you could re-generate it then. If you stay on conventional textures you should use DDS texture for smaller files.

So, you have to make your game load the game content step by step instead of once. The only thing Conitec could add would be streaming of textures, models and animations. Though, I think that this is a too big step and is not intended for A7 and the predicted (!) web-player. If you really need a good streaming technolgy use one of the "higher" class commercial engines like gamebryo or such (if you really intend to make a big game with very much content and potential).
