Haven't looked at the NetMaze code, so the answer may be there, but...
I've been tweaking Renegades to build a Virtual World interface to my
site (which is PHP/mySQL based).
I've added two tables to the database "worldCoordinates" and "chat". My
theory is that a client reports its current location and orientation at
regular intervals (if it's changed since the last report) and then all
clients send requests at periodic intervals asking the database who
else is within +-X and +-Z away.
SO....
is this the best plan - or will all these individual queries suck up
too much bandwidth (I'm on a very choked system)? And if it is
reasonable, are there any guidelines on how often to send updates and
queries?
