Spring RTS Engine

Because the Los status is updated on every slowupdate , which happens every 15 frames, I recommend settibg the extratextureupdaterate to 15.
The LOS texture has 1/Extratextureupdaterate area of it updated each frame. Thus a good practical value for this modside is 15. You can even set it from luaui with Spring.SetConfigInt.
If desired, it can be set to its fastest value (4) for four gameframes on enabling LOS mode to allow a quick full update to los texture.

Why? What does extra texture update cover?

Just stop giving fucking damn stupid advices!
Engine defaults aren't random crappy values!
There are reasons why it's 45 and not ur damn stupid advised 15! Which is really really just damn stupid!

And I had this discussion already damn 3 times!

Anyone who knows (I don't either) could write something on the wiki explaing what ExtraTextureUpdateRate does, I couldn't find anything.

edit: Actually the appropriate place would be a .description(...) in the engine source: https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/d ... er.cpp#L26

Fwiw, a setting of 15 would eat fps like crazy (I know this because it happened to me).

Edit, did a fucking spambot rez this shit?

Spam, maybe, but I wouldn't consider you a bot.

FWIW this is obsolete now.

This thread was 3rd down in the active posts category. Happens sometimes when a bot makes a post on an old thread and you guys delete it.
