Dynamic map loading

Post by AssiDragon »

I wondered if there is anything dynamic map loading in plan... something that loads/unloads parts of the map from memory according to the players' position. Saw it working with Ogre3D, and was quite impressive...

At the moment you have to implement your own. I don't know if it is planned in the future. The feature is not really suited to be included in a rendering engine, it is more a game engine feature. I'm currently working on a system to page terrain files. When i finish it i'll post the code. I might even try to code a general implementation that could be easily used in any project

I think it's rendering engine sided in bits, because it's an addon to the OctTree mapformat - basically...

And thanks =) tho I think I might just use Ogre3D... runs quite faster on this PC :?
