|
|
(03/06/2024)
|
|
Bake in imgui
|
|
|
|
(03/07/2024)
|
|
Server frametime bar graph
|
|
|
|
(03/09/2024)
|
|

|
|
|
|
Timekeeping class that defaults to gltf time and falls back to systemCurrentTimeMillis
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Overhaul mesh class
|
|

|
|

|
|
(this is going to require changing a lot of dependencies)
|
|
|
|
(03/10/2024)
|
|
De-dupe render calls via doing mutations in render pipeline status and dont call setting variables to values they are already set to

|
Render pipeline updates to support multiple pipelines defined in different files
|

|
(03/12/2024)
|
|
Foliage Manager upgrades

- Place foliage intelligently
|
|
|
|
Fix arena mode (terrain be crazy)
|
|
|
|
(03/17/2024)
|
|
Optimize instance logic (currently sorting the list of objects to push to buffer each frame nukes the cpu)
|
|
sort nukes cpu because capacity logic is after sort, so it tries to sort ~600k items every frame before caping
|
|
The way to optimize this is to completely gut existing code. One draw call per tile. Draw call calles drawInstanced for all blades within that cell.
|
|
Provide a texture that contains data per blade of grass to the cell on draw. Store positions in that once at creation.
|
|
For dynamic wind later will need to use UBOs or something like that.
|
|
Fix grass flickering (it's frustum culling being inconsistent, try commenting it out in InstancedActor and see what happens :| ) (well we won't have that problem anymore lol)

# Ongoing
|
|
|
|
Upgrade terrain generation algorithms
|
|
- This one should be an ongoing process in general as it is a matter of taste
|
|
- Make a route hard coded that throws you straight into a generated world
|
|
- This makes it easier to tweak algo and immediately get results
|

# Known bugs
|
|
- Draw cell manager iso values dont make sense and should scale empty cells based on neighbor cells
|
|
- Draw cell manager logic doesn't fill in border cells properly (the logic to check if a border cell exists always succeeds as long as the potential location is within world bounds, not if it actually exists in cache)
|
|
- Control handler re-polls for mouse coordiantes for each control handler group it processes, so only the first group gets the mouse movement event properly |
