This repository provides a set of specialised plugins that can be used for experimenting, but may be unstable. FiVES is designed to be not only a fast development framework for running virtual world applications, but also as a sandbox to try and evaluate different technologies.
FiVES is part of the Future Internet project FIWARE of the European Union, where it is used as alternative implementation of the Synchronization Generic enabler. Please find more information about FIWARE at http://fiware.org
These plugins provide new, partially untested, experimental features for the synchronization framework FiVES : https://github.com/fives-team/fives . To add them to your FiVES application, perform the following steps:
- Open the solution file in the IDE of your choice
- Enable NuGet package restore on rebuild (more information here: http://www.nuget.org)
- Select "Rebuild Solution"
- You will find the compiled plugin libraries as .dll in the [$SOLUTION_FOLDER]/Binaries/[$BUILD_VERSION] folder
- Copy all of these files into the Plugins directory of your FiVES distribution
- Make sure that the new Plugins are not blacklisted in your FiVES.exe.cfg, or whitelist them, if whitelisting is enabled
