Couple of Questions. Possible Game Engine Move....

(But the performance of the multi-texture gadget was pretty slow right?)

Are you asking if there are hard coded polygon rendering limits? (there are not by the way, and I don't think I've ever encountered an engine where they were)

IIRC Warzone 2100 either has (or used to have) a 512 tri limit per component (there usually being 3 components for a mobile unit, 2 for defensive structures and 1 for base structures) and a limited vertex resoultion (xyz values clamped to the nearest 0.1 units)

And as for 'improving the graphics', people think Spring and see this: [~100 tris, 32x32 per quad textures]

when they really ought to be seeing stuff like this: [~4500 tris, 1024x512 (body) + 256x128 (wheels) uvmapped texture]

Which is a shame, but c'est la vie.

High Time we make that a welcome banner up there.. i know it aint a game, but it is defineatly a good way for the engine to show off.

My version was/is slow, jK wrote some optimisations which boosted speed ~5x. But thats not really the point I was trying to make.

Oh lawd and these were singular 512x512..

sup just because I stopped working on it doesn't mean it didn't exist..

just because warlord is sitting on the project for 2 years now... doesn't mean it didn't exist

It doesn't really matter spring = *A and we get stuck with people avoiding it because *A looks like shit in a wet paper bag.
