Newbie Coding / Re: extracting surface parameters from .map files

.bsp will be better since it got the final geometry. It is quite simple, actually, all the needed data is provided in the plain way. Vertices, edges, polygons -- everything is right there.

Please clarify what exactly you want to accomplish? Remove textures which are almost always not seen by player? Or, optimize memory usage? Second one would not work -- texture is always loaded in it's entiriety.

Possible, but will requre some serious math. Or you can use the processed data from .bsp files.

Those are not vertices; those are clipping planes for convex polytopes called brushes.

Hmm, you would prefer "infinite" count for mundane items?

Gurus wanted ! / Re: [doxygen] strange warning

Block starts with the /** instead of /*

It therefore expects some doxygen, but can't find any.

No, you cannot earn money that way. Personally, I don't like the idea, but most of the team says it is the way to go.

Or overrun the next object in memory, since vtbl link in some compilers uses negative offsets. And I've did not start talking about multiple inheritance classes ...

Aliens always know where you are, and trying to avoid becoming targets at the of the turn. That is is the reason why they  do not do the Zerg Rush.

It would save civilians.

Aliens' plans is NOT to save the civilians.

No need for save -- confirmed on my side. Guess there is a some error in rendering of the sun glare. Will investigate.

Coding / Re: Question about a roadmap for 2.5 branch (packaging for Fedora)

« on: November 28, 2013, 05:58:52 pm »

1. What is the status of the compatibility with Inter cards? Karel Volny an RPMFusion packager created a wrapper which disables GLSL Shaders (?) by writing 'set r_programs "0" a' to the config file on the first run on given machine with Intel card. Is it still required or UFAI by default sets some safe mode (I have seen a topic about it on forum recently, but I couldn't find it today)?

So far, it is better to avoid shaders with Intel hardware. Period.
