I suppose it also captures sensor node outputs - so the event-cascade can be replicated on all clients.

 I gather you can still have different content in each client?> I see different avatar. But what about sensor nodes and scripts? Lets say you have a massive multiplayer online RailRoad game MMORRG. You probably don't want the entire scenegraph replicated in every client. Just what's in the vicinity. So some scripts and sensors will be in just a few clients.

Oh. OK. Nice work.
So what doesn't BS Collaborate do? I couldn't understand your docs.
