Plan for Jeff Ward

I've been working on ODE integration, and every time I get happy with work I've done, someone comes out with something that makes my work look terrible.

So Akio's apparently been working on ODE Integration as well:

He's a lot farther along than I am, and the whole ragdoll / coolness factor of his integration is far beyond what I have. That said, I have made some progress.

I've finally actually got ODE collision and rendering working properly, and I *believe* the client / server implementation works as well. It should predict things nicely and warp correctly. Unfortunately, the collision currently works only at VERY low speed, meaning gravity set at about -0.01. I'm going to look into that tomarrow after I get some sleep.

That said, I am a LONG way off from Akio's resource. I haven't even gotten to thinking about Rag Doll, though the game I'd loke to work on doesn't need that *or* vehicle rigid shapes, so I probably wouldn't get there for quite a while. Hopefully, Akio will decide to release his code so that I'll at least have a bit more to work with than the old item code (which I've departed from quite a bit). I do promise that when my work is done, that I will release the integration code as a free resource, even if others do not.
