after doing some test on the panda3d engine, i decided to give ogre3d another chance.
after many wasted days of coding frustating slow 2d output - there seems to be a way now for me and ogre3d.
the first tests (under lab conditions) on the tile-blitting seems to be fast enough for the client.

atm, i try to teach ogre to blit the client2d-tiles (send from server)  in relatime.

signed a peace treaty with the http://www.code-black.org team.
we have both the problems with the weak sides of ogre3d - and from now we will solve these problems together.
that means -of course- much more paper work and no more time for coding

So, tell us about this pic here.

As you were saying to me, it isn't your code. Is it our gfx? Can we use *this*? Explain a bit, i am still trying to understand... and i bet others will be eager to know also.

Cheers,
Unislash

@unislash:  :shock:
no, we can't use this code
no, we can't use this gfx
i just wanted to push my post statistic

code:
well, its not my code means that i have stolen this code from the project above.
this is not a problem, because its open source. the code was hacked together by Filopher - their chieftain.
now, that both projects are in need of a FAST terrain engine we decided to work together.
you know - if you are a single coder there are times (when you look into your code) you can't find the errors you made,
just because you looked 1000 times over it - you are blind for this errors.
after looking at his code, i instantly found a fatal error he made - just because i made the same error a while ago.
so, both projects will benefit from our collaboration. daimonin from his math knowledge and code-black from my coding experience.
and the best of all: i can leave daimonin any time and still have a home - so be kindly to me

gfx:
/me is using gfx from http://www.grsites.com/textures/terms.shtml
i don't know the source of Filopher's gfx pool, but you can be sure its free for non-commercial use.

today i wiped the coast a bit.
i am damned proud of it - so don't dare to give a blasphemic comment on this


(the water texture was stretched only for testing)

Looks realy realy great.

speechless

hmm.....well i have a slight problem with it.....lol just kiddin looking good!  :lol:


 .:*Future*:.

Will this affect the system requirements for the end user? If so, what minimum processor speed will you recommend for running client 3D.

well, this is not an easy question...
i am running the client3d (beta-pre-testing) with
~80 fps on xp1800, ti4200 (win32)
and
~40 fps on duron 850, geforce2mx (gnu/linux)

but:
- the last ogre3d update gave a real fps boost - so i am hoping for some more.
- i have just begun with ogre3d coding - there a some parts that can be optimized.
