Imo this is the wrong approach, and stuff like this is why most games need to play catch up for a few weeks after the engine changes are released. (see emg bug, new reclaim system, etc)
Just keep the damned old behaviour and make the new one optional for those who want to use it.
Not always possible or sensible. Do you think we should keep the old map LODing system default and make the new one you are working on optional?
Actually, I do think so. Mine doesnt give better performance in every case. It costs a bit more cpu and a bit less gpu than the old rendering.

You mean after PrezKennedy took control of my account, posted in my name, edited half my posts, and generally destroyed me? I think it was "I have penis breath". Because of that jackass I'm a pariah now and can't participate in any TA3D discussion, thanks for bringing it up.
TBH I have no proof of any of this, so I just try to pretend it never happened. I can only assume PK was at fault, and I don't even remember why I came to this conclusion...

So I just realised that the really annoying bug I'm having where my icon distance changes from the right level, to not working at all, is probably due to this.
Seriously, give us a damn way to have the old (read: CORRECT) behaviour.
edit: nevermind, just saw that there were yet-more unknown commands i have to type into the console to fix it.

don't worry, Aus is just having fun with me
made it configurable. config var and default is:
Setting it to 1.0 results in old behaviour, while setting it to 0.0 results in always using distance to ground.
you can set it in your config file or ingame like this:
yeah Auswaschbar, thats it (i had it all explained already, much more complicated though :D). best thing is to experimenting with different values for the setting.

couldn't be bothered to read much between me saying, "don't do this, you don't understand the implications" and you saying, "they did it anyway, how do I fix".

Fixed this a bit, icons don't suddenly disappear anymore when "tabbing out" in e.g. S44.
