Niotso Minimum Requirements
From Niotso Wiki
Of course, as the client and server packages haven't been written yet, these requirements may be subject to change.
Niotso Client[edit]
Minimum Requirements | ||
---|---|---|
Graphics | OpenGL 2.0-capable graphics device (2004+ hardware) | |
Disk space | ≥ 2.0 GB for game installation, 25MB per client | |
Operating system | Windows | Windows XP+, with the newest service pack |
Linux | Any modern popular distro with a modern kernel | |
Mac | Mac OS X 10.0 or higher | |
Audio | Windows | XAudio2 (Requires latest DirectX runtimes) |
Linux | PulseAudio | |
Mac | Core Audio |
Rationale[edit]
Niotso Client will make use of vertex shaders and vertex buffer objects for Hardware T&L, and therefore requires an OpenGL 2.0 graphics device, the specification for which was released on September 7, 2004.
Niotso Server[edit]
Minimum Requirements | ||
---|---|---|
Operating system | Windows | Windows XP+, with the newest service pack |
Linux | Any modern popular distro with a modern kernel | |
Mac | Mac OS X 10.0 or higher | |
Database | PostgreSQL 9.0+ | |
Bandwidth | To be determined |
Rationale[edit]
We use PostgreSQL because it is perhaps the most advanced open source SQL database software there is; it provides an official library for server software; and it works on all of our desired operating systems.
Compiling[edit]
