Sapphire Project

[dnifan]

Okay, I'm not a WM Developer (yet :P), but I wanna post this:

A while ago Black_Phoenix told me about project Sapphire, and what it is.
It's used for storing/receiving data from a central server over the internet (kind of persistent RAM chip). So, I happened to make the thing using a protocol me and BP developed.

Feature List:

• Account System
• Log in from any wire-enabled GMod with Sapphire gate/DLL
• Simultaneous sessions (Able to send/receive data at the same time others do, so chat program anyone?)
• Up to 256.000 values (256 kB ).
• Unlimited amount of accounts

Video: (sorry for bad quality)

NOTE: This only contains SOURCE CODE, unless you don't know how to compile a C program, stay away from this please.

Planned: Sapphire V2.0

After gathering some ideas, I want to make a v2.0 which has some nice new features:

• Script Execution on other PC. (So server A sends lua script to server B, server B sends results of script to server A.) The speed increasing will of course depend on the bandwidth/location of the Sapphire server and the other server.
• Compression of data.
• More to come.

256KB is 262144, not 256000

This is cool, we can have WireNet over many servers.

I know, in code it is 262144 but yeah :P

Sounds realy interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing it out and working.

As of yet, I have two potential server hosters!

[Raix]

I could host as I've got a PC that I use for TV recording and XMPP, but its a residential connection with insanely bad upload bandwidth.

[miron]

So we could have an internet game have... internet?
That's pretty insane.

[Infinity]

My webserver has <=0 traffic. :v

I could easily host for you guys. 2mbps upload. (usually clocked at around 1.8)

We can have this:


have inter-server connection easily.
