OC worlds

Shirl Spencer — 2013-04-13T00:27:46

   
   - I hope everyone is doing good. I'm using opencobalt 1.0aplha21 and the 
   default is Collaboratory 1. Is there a way to edit the screens already 
   there? When I try nothing happens but when I create a portal then I can 
   edit. How do I go about creating new? Thanks so much in advance.

Problems with OC

Shirl Spencer — 2013-04-11T19:15:05

I'm running windows 7 64 bit and oc starts to load and half way through it 
stays that way, like its hung or something. I tried sqeak but no luck. It 
doesn't connect to any url...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Re: Let us Set up a Public Open Cobalt Workspace on a Internet-Server

Eric Atkinson — 2013-03-18T17:37:52

I've created a new constitution/design/workflow/funding (at
www.strategicinternationalsystems.com) with OpenCobalt in mind for use as
many related P2P client/servers.  I think OpenCobalt needs something bold
and new like this -- that is, in terms of potential income and wealth in
return for technical effort -- in order to draw people 4-person technical
teams specializing in the many aspects needed to fully develop OpenCobalt
in a way that can compete, for example, with Google Docs (a similar, but
client/server, not P2P, platform).  Have a look at the link above. What do
you think?

Yeah, do it! I just installed OpenCobalt and it's awful lonely...

Would anyone care for some noise?

Casey Ransberger — 2013-02-14T04:19:56

Hey folks,

Quick backstory about Perlin noise: it's used in computer graphics to
create textures, animations, landscapes, clouds, lots of stuff. Adds a bit
of predictably random "messiness" to otherwise "smooth" models, which makes
things look "natural." My use of quotes here is to draw attention to the
fact that these are all aesthetic statements. Somehow this function worked
out really well for fooling the eye into seeing natural things. It's
typically used as a basis function for multifractal terrain. Check out
*Texturing
and Modeling: A Procedural Approach*, 3rd Edition by Ebert, Musgrave,
Peachey, Perlin, and Worley.

I found myself wanting to understand Perlin noise, so I hunted around
looking at various implementations (didn't find one in Smalltalk, if there
is one, I'd love to know) and eventually settled on an implementation that
made the math clearer than the others I found, and then rewrote it from
scratch in Squeak. I've got one and two dimensional noise. One dimensional
noise is rarely interest

OpenCobalt working on Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bits)

Francisco A. Lizarralde — 2013-01-18T21:01:10

Hi All,

After installing Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bits) I had some problems with OC with
some libraries like libopenal and libpulsedsp.

Today I solved all problems installing ia32 libs.

Type in a terminal

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch

That's all.

OpenCobalt works fine with 3D sound.

Hope this helps to another.

Cheers,

Francisco

Open Cobalt and Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits

Francisco A. Lizarralde — 2012-12-30T14:39:07

Hi all,

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bits) and when I tried to run openCobalt, I
got this message


/usr/bin/padsp: 88: exec: ./bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu/squeak: not found


Previously I create the necesary links to OpenGl and OpenAl, I think
this could be related with "padsp", but I can't figure why squeak-vm is
not found.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Francisco

Re: New G+ Community for OpenQwaq

Carlos Crosetti — 2012-12-14T00:51:44

Let me answer this and hope someone else puts some more details...

Croquet was the masterpice created by top Smalltalk programmers and was released as a SDK.

Some of the Croquet pillars put toguethet the concept of making a 3D world browser and with fund raising from Julian Lombardi created Open Cobalt hosted at Duke University.

Another spin off from Croquet was Qwaq and shortly was made into a venture constituting a company named Teleplace that sold the 3D collaboration model as a end-user software product that improved quality and evolved Croquet from a sandbox Smalltalk image into a fully installable COTS. 

When Teleplace ceased busineses, the code was released as OSS and that baseline is available as OpenQwaq.


I was inclined to put my hands around QpenQwaq buy because of lack of tim I stayed tuned to Open Cobalt.

You can find what I did at http://code.google.com/p/scrum-wing-3d/

  Hello again,

  why don't we set up a server on the internet that runs a Open Cobalt workspace where we all can meet? 

  People who try out OC should have at least one place to connect to and meet OC enthusiasts. We can use it to meet and exchange ideas and knowledge. We can even work on OC code together. 

  It might be a good starting point to use our own information system to get things rolling again ;) What do you all think?

  Cheers, Friend

  P.S.: I'm willing to give 10US$ per month for at least a year to finance the server-rent.

Hello,

I also wonder, which of them (Croquet, Open Cobalt and OpenQwaq) is half 
way alife and kicking. Croquet seems to be a closed case with its 
successors Open Cobalt and OpenQwag. Open Cobalt and OpenQwaq also seem to 
languish. 

Though Open Cobalt is langushing, I strongly believe that it is worthwhile 
to maintain Open Cobalt.  How about OpenQwaq? Is OpenQwag the same as Open 
Cobalt with a updated code? 

Why don't we join our efforts to keep at least one of them alive and 
kicking?

I don't know what's happened, I didn't do anything, but OC is working
again !!!

By the way, I'm worried about the low traffic of this list and the lack 
of actualization of the web page. 

There is another way of communication or the OC project is dead ?

What is the situation with OpenCroquet? Both OC and OpenQwaq
online list traffic has been very light lately.

Hi All,

On Friday I was working Ok with OC, but this morning all the versions of
OC I've installed in my Ubuntu machine doesn't work.

I tried with Windows and works fine, but I don't know whats happen
because I didn't make recently any change in my Ubuntu box.

OC open the window and freezes. Anybody knows how I can debug or find
any clue of waht's happen.

In the startup log file only appears this:

---------------------------
2012-12-10T11:03:54 - debug(12)HTTPSocket: request:
