Is pie format convertible to others formats like obj 3ds and so on ? If so the loading could be delegated to assimp lib which supports a lot of formats.

Why do pies file need to be updated ? Tangent and bitangent vectors can be generated on the fly.

Normal maps are used ? The textures in wz2100 look flat but that's maybe because the lack of per pixel lighting / moving light. BTW texture compression on normal map is fine if the normal map is stored in tangent space and with GL_COMPRESSED_RG_RGTC format : http://www.nvidia.com/object/real-time-no...

Is it ok to add boost dependency ? I'd like to use boost::variant (which is part of c++17).

What is the "OPTIONS" screen mentionned in hci.h/cpp ?
It's neither the ingame options (which is named "INGAMEOP") nor the main menu screen.
It looks like an hidden debug menu or something.

I'm currently cleaning up hci.cpp. Hopefully code can be simplified up to the point it's easy enough to update. Is current UI layout important to keep ? There are several lib available that enables to easily design interface, like CEGUI or librocket or IMGUI. In my opinion the best solution is CEGUI...

Is it OK to use directwrite on Windows? Quesoglc has a lot of dependencies and is strongly tied to opengl fixed function. On the other hand directwrite is gfx api agnostic which would make possible to use opengl 3+ and vulkan api while retaining support for right to left layout. Pangs is also anothe...

Please see ticket 4465.

I *think* I solved most of build issue with MSVC 2015. Nuget provides several dependencies (glew libpng zlib sdl2 openssl physfs) and I managed to make openal and ogg build as part of sln. I guess vorbis and theora can be build in a similar way however I don't know how to build quesoglc. It relies o...

I'd rather use c++14 feature supported by MSVC since it slightly lag behind other compiler in C++14 support (afaik clang and gcc do support c++14 completly). For instance std::make_unique is not available in c++11 but is in C++14 and constexpr behavior was slightly modified wrt const method. A first...

I'm trying to build wz2100 on Windows, however the build instructions on the wiki are obsolete : http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/CompileGuideWindows/MSVC The link to the developper package is broken. Some dependencies are missing : http://developer.wz2100.net/wiki/CompileGuide It looks like WZ2100 ...

I'd like to improve the gfx code of wz2100. However gfx callbacks are spread throughout the whole source code. Thus I'd like to modernize codebase to ease future improvement. Using namespace and adding directory is a first step but I intend to use c++14 where applicable and replace some structure (v...
