Network rendering and Network transparent API

[jromang]

Ok
I added support for server multi-threading. I did some testing, and seems to work

[zsouthboy]

Can we have a build to test, jromang, or should I just compile from CVS?

Or do you want to wait for RC4 so people can give it all a whack at once?

[jromang]

I need feedback, so you can just compile from CVS

I implemented automatic file transfer for textures : you don't have to set up a complex network file sharing system to use textures now
Only restriction : all files (scene, textures) in the same directory (no subdirs).

Hi jromang, sorry for st*p*d question: Where did you put the transfer code, please?

Thanks a lot,
Pow

Nowdays, it is in core/renderfarm.cpp RenderFarm:SendFile method for client side and renderer/renderserver.cpp processFile() function for server side.

Great, thank you. After yesterday I have a brief overview on the rendercore and networking thread, because I tried to luxParse from Python. I think luxParse makes some assumptions that are not given in the pylux environment. Maybe someone could have a look on that? [see viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3515]

Thanks,
