[Warzone-dev] Where is the Fog? And some ideas for the shadow.

Hi, someone knows why the fog isn't drawn anymore? For me this 'popping' in the background is annoying. (Terrain) And the shadow drawing distance is limited do avoid "black blocks" in the shadows. How about the idea to make the shadows fade in/out, in order of the distance? Maybe over the alpha ch

Re: [Warzone-dev] bug with SDL_framerateDelay

But why should we hard-limit the FPS? The ability to set a max framerate was introduced to allow laptop users some control over the CPU utilization. I don't recall any other reason for having this functionality. On my system, this way of trying to reduce CPU usage has turned out futile because w

I have no fog at all. See: http://img.rootzilla.de/img/a8db463cce82175fecf134e0665e7e4e1227ee1d.jpg These terrain-popping on the edges is ugly :( I wish since quite a time to increase the drawed-terrain size and/or add some volumetric fog, so that you can't see popping terrain at the edges anymore

Re: [Warzone-dev] bug with SDL_framerateDelay

You just give the OS the explicitly ack to share the CPU. I don't see there a problem. The OS should be smart enought to use the free 'idle' cpu time for your application if more processing power is needed. And actual OS are afaik smart enougth to do so :) If you have a background process that wan
