Re: [Virtools] Deploy building block with webplayer?

The Behaviour Server Pack, is that sold separately from the Behaviour
Server,
or does it only come with the Behaviour Server?

It seems to me that this is not a very good thing; what is the use of making
your
own BB's if you have to spend huge amounts of money just so you do not have
to annoy your web-users?

The great thing I thought about rolling your own BB's is that you could add
just
about ANY functionality by modifying & linking opensource libs.

Some ideas:
- Link with ImageMagick; on the fly reading and converting every kind of
fileformat
- Link with Ogg Vorbis decoders; 3d spatial streaming sound. Or
radiostations.
- Link with snmp; 3d overview of all your network and seeing the load of all
  components in a natural way.
- Link with Prolog/Lisp to have solid AI (specially Reflisp; realtime Lisp)
- Link with Basic/Perl, any interpreted language, to get more coders
onboard.
- Link with..... just about anything.

Perhaps that is why the swapmeet hasn't really taken of; there is no point
in
getting other people's BB's unless you want to take a step back in time and
annoy your visitors with DLL hell.... :(

Too bad. But hey, it is still fun to make things with virtools, pity it only
can
be used as a form of eyecandy, not real apps, unless you spend lots of
cash.

Sorry for the rant guys, /me is just a bit disappointed...
