terrain slow down

[juliusctw]

Hey

Have you guys ever noticed a large performance slow down when you use a terrainSceneNode? why is that?

i read here that there's a hack to make it run much faster
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... ascenenode

why aren't we implimenting this?

The color conversion issue that you reference is specific to the OpenGL driver, and there is discussion on the matter here.

And since you have the fixes now you can easily patch your own Irrlicht library. Many fixes take some time to adapt them to the Irrlicht architecture, though, so it takes some time before they make it into the core. This one's even harder.

I am rather hesitant in changing anything in irrlicht because I know bigger and better irrlicht will come alone and I will have to make the changes all over again....

if i make any changes, can i submit the patches to you hybrid?

You should always use or open a topic in the bug forum and usually post the patch there. If it's really large you can mail it to me to put it onto the patch page.
