hmm. with 3.1.1? I built viper-wheels-machingun tanks to limit, killed all enemies by cheats and had ~70fps with original models, ~45fps with armod.

No, with master.

well, it's good to see that many of speed optimizations weren't lost in time, with latest master and armod the fps count is about 160. During all tests the anti-aliasing was set to 8x and vsync was off.

A good sign indeed.
I need to get busy and get back to coding the Campaign JS missions that I've been assigned. Just waiting for the green light from the Dev Team for a Windows-installable build with the major changes mostly done.

Yeah, it's
the future where things usually get lost here

Recent changes aren't too much blockingly major i think, mostly minor bugfixes

Anywhere to get master builds for windows? Haven't had time to look into building my own, but I'm interested in the new improvements (including spec map and individual shader support).
Also, any news about the shadow buffer implementation? Still problems with terrain rendering?

Is there a status page which shows what is left to fix ?
Has anyone tried WZM in MP games ? I am curious if anyone noticed any sync issues with WZM models.

Does the latest master have the wzm loader patch committed? And if yes then does it load normals from wzm models? I mean, can we finally use tangent-space normal maps and shader that supports it?
Also, I always wonder, why graphics non-int values are used in netcode?

Yes. I will have another quick look at it, but it looks like a bigger chunk of work.

Correct, the WZM loader has not been merged. I don't recall the exact status when I last worked on it, but I wasn't entirely happy with the version of the format that iNod was using (I think it was missing some things that were there in the original wzm version), and there was some issue with the bounding box implementation that I couldn't get a satisfactory answer to. So I left it there since I had no time to rework it.

the format we came up with was a sort of compromises where all the stuff that never wouldn't be used in wz was removed or wasn't added, afair. We didn't touch animation code since it would brake compatability; removed level's limitation, moved lights option from per model to global(no situations when we have to adjust it separately); moved bounding box values from code to stored in model to speed up the ingame process at highest polys on the screen and ofc mainly added precalculated normals with tangent-space normal mapping support, also added support for specular maps per model.
But yes, I remember you got different minmax_tcen values than I-NoD, that was the reason.
And nobody said that it was the last version of wzm format. That was just a start with minimum what artists need.

Is every blue part of the game HUD supposed to be green in the most recent master build? Because that's what I'm getting with it, while the good ol' 3.1.1 is fine.
Same goes for the rays that come out of trucks being green instead of blue.
Wanted to try running AR on master but this is pretty annoying, to say the least.
Checked the logs and this is what I found:

You have a palette.txt somewhere which is too short being used instead of the official one from master. Perhaps AR has its own piepalette.txt? Try removing it, if so.
I suppose we should handle this more gracefully, and just use defaults for missing colours... but that isn't trivial to implement, unfortunately.
