Ryzom

Has anybody gotten this thing to actually work?

I'll describe what I've managed to accomplish so far, on Windows Vista 64...
I've assigned R: to the top of my clone.

First, I enabled the plugin in R:\code\ryzom\tools\leveldesign\install\world_editor_plugin.cfg,
and set the shard host:

PluginsLibrary = {
    //"world_editor_sound_plugin",
    //"world_editor_graph_plugin",
    "world_editor_shard_monitor_plugin",  <===
    //"world_editor_primitive_plugin",
    //"world_editor_fauna_graph_plugin",
};

MOSHost = "192.168.1.2";  <===

When I first fired up WE and hit Connect on the shard monitor window, I got
a connection error to port 48888. Chased that down and discovered that
monitor_service was not being started with the shard. I set up a very
basic cfg for it, based on trying to start it by hand and watching the
errors that came back. Ended up with this in R:\code\ryzom\server\monitor_service.cfg:

// Use with commandline: monitor_service --writepid

NSHost = "192.168.1.2";

Paths = {
    "../common/data_leveldesign",
    "./data_shard" 
};

I then added the following to the bottom of shard_start.bat:

rem wait 2s (yes, i didn't find a better way to wait N seconds)
ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 > NUL 2>&1

rem  monitor
start %MODE%\monitor_service --writepid

along with the following to the bottom of shard_stop.bat:

rem  monitor
taskkill /F /IM monitor_service.exe

Now the monitor_service starts and stops with the shard.

However, when I start WE and connect right away with the plugin, I get tons of "unknown.unknown" entries under the shard_monitor entry. If I load newbieland.worldedit, they all start disappearing. I never see any real entries for the things that should be in the shard.

I've managed to track the unknown.unknown back into the monitor_service itself and the data it seems to be getting from it's "mirrors" (still trying to unravel what all that means).
