NeL Renderer for CEGUI

[sfb]

I've been seperately maintaining a renderer for the NeL Engine to drive CEGUI. You can see our current page for it at our website.

Our group has decided that it might be better if merged out renderer into CEGUI's CVS rather than maintaining our own. Two issues stand out though - we're currently licensing it GPL. This was because the public version of NeL is GPL. I discovered that we could license it LGPL (since Nevrax provides a closed source license, we have considered this.) We're not sure how the rest of the community feels about this. If we did move our code into CEGUI's CVS we figured we'd probably relicense to match CEGUI's license. The only other thing is that we would like to still be able to write to it to perform updates and such.

What do you think, mental?

Since your last post about your renderer I've been considering creating a new CVS module that would contain all the renderers other than the DX and GL ones. This would be similar to the ogreaddons module in the OGRE CVS (i.e. they wouldn't be maintained by the CEGUI team but would have their own maintainers).

Would you be happy with this type of arrangement?

This sounds fine to me. It'd work for me in it's current state - but I'm aware of the complications in providing me access to specific trees like that. I'll work around what ever you decide.

PM me your SF account name and I'll get this setup.

I hadn't heard back from you in awhile so I thought I'd see how things were going, see if I could get a feel for when you'd want to merge my code in.

Oops sorry I forgot to email you about this. I setup the cvs module (ceguiaddons) a few days ago and created a NeLRenderer directory within it. You should have write access to that directory. Let me know if you have any questions

Could I get a copy of NeLRenderer?

You'll have to ask the NeL people about it, it's not been checked in here yet.

In case anyone is looking for the NeL CEGUI Driver / Demo in the future we've moved our web site:

Thanks for the updated information.
