Ping on PNG textures in BSP maps, will it make it to 1.8?

Please let me know if you need anything else, there is already a test map attached to the feature request.

Is there even a release date planned for 1.8 yet?

Seriously who gives a gently caress? It's done when it's done...

I suggested changing it to ??.??.???? to CuteAlien just to be on the safe side, but he believes that they will make it this year!

Seems that I don't get updates for just updated attachments. Maybe next time post on the forum right away, and also post on the tracker (which triggers an update email for me).

The attachments haven't been updated, they are the same I originally uploaded?

Thanks, will post that way in the future.

Thanks hybrid. I do wonder if dds is of use, since neither the creation tools nor ioq3 can read it

AFAIK, you can simply replace one texture with another. And in case you want to have manually defined mipmaps (well, we don't support them this way for now, but if...) you could use them that way.

Free type 2 would be great. Better font support is needed : D

You can already add fonts which are using freetype (look around the forum). The problem right now is serialization of those fonts (so you can load the whole gui from xml). That was a feature I had hoped to add to 1.8, but rewriting serialization is a scary task.

I need:

3D textures with filtering
Non-memory leaking FBO lock() and unlock()
Scalable fonts (I can't set the size)
