ROAM terrain rendering, help us make spring much faster!

[xyz]

Looks like it is working now, after a clean.

EDIT: Actually it is still not working.

[jK]

`make spring` works fine
Also, it's fixed (the compilation, not the problem) in git's master.
And again it's my fault not Behe's.
And thx for testing.

PS: Behe did very well and I will do my best to merge it in the engine until 84 (which should get very fast done after 83).

It works!

Here is what I found so far:
Can you guess the map? Looking at the minimap it not allowed.

This is not a ROAM problem though, it was because I was pointing to the wrong Data folder.

The problems I found so far are with Terra-forming:

Thanks Behe for the grate work.

Nice catch on the terraform on patch edge bug! Thanks for testing!

[PicassoCT]

bad joke is bad.
just thought i might check your karma, while you swing the bughammer
everything in order
continue the awesome

[KaiserJ]

excellent work beherith and everyone else involved

[jK]

PS: I just took DSD cause it is the first map that came up in my mind with huge plain areas. Even had to download it for these images ...
Btw all other maps profit by ROAM in the same way cause the huge win by this renderer is that it doesn't upload multiple MB of vertex data each frame. But the results look less cool on static images

Simply wonderful work! Estimated release of arrival?

[jK]

k last one (note, both were rendered at the same FPS)

Simply wonderful work! Estimated release of arrival?

Duno if Behe has still some ideas he want to push in, but I am nearly finished. So duno what's faster 83 or ROAM

[smoth]

fantastic work!

Jk, any possibility I can get a draw distance increase with this so I can really push it with something BIG?

[Manoa]

is there an win32 exe of this version available for testing, or must manually download and compile from repository ?
