Just a bit of fun speculationā€¦ but I should think it possible to have something external to the EvE engine maintaining communication - Chat works in this fashion - Think a small environment based in the Dust game engine with instanced versions of your collectables & clothing to decorate with.

Three toons hanging out together would make a great launcher and you could pick clothing etc. before launch

Chat works right in the EVE client - it turns EVE into literal XMPP client.

44

I may be wrong, but like Black Desert Online I thought that the EVE game engine read the XMPP and the chat itself was powered by a separate application server running Ejabberd.

There should be no reason two different game servers couldnā€™t have the same chat - I 'm pretty sure even before Ejabbert was adopted Eve & Dust had overlapping chat (call for planet bombardment or something like that).

Anyway - as I said Itā€™s just fanciful speculation on how a 3d walkaround environment could be paired with the game

Maybe talking about the headshot animation in the character sheet?

46

Ah, very interesting stuff, thanks for the detailed background info there, CCP Darwin.

So even though these changes to the character animation were necessitated by the 64-bit client, the 32-bit client is also getting the new software/idle animations and such as well, right?

I just made 3 new toons for the first time in years in my 32-bit client and didnā€™t really notice any difference, although it HAD been a long while indeed. Good work!

47

Yes, these changes are present in both 32- and 64-bit clients on all platforms.

Please use this new and more performing technology to bring back captainā€™s headquarters! It was soooo cool to see ours ships in all of their majesty! Moreover it hasnā€™t sense to have avatars that you can never seeā€¦ it also improves immersivity, at least for me.

Do you understand the difference between chat client and chat server? Yes, EVE chat server is a standalone application bridges to the Tranquility cluster through some creative mix of API calls, where EVE client is both a game and XMPP client, connecting to two servers (TQ and that ejabberd one).
Yes, thereā€™s no reason, why two diferent games could not connect to the same XMPP server. There you are right.
