A Warning indicates a potential problem in the content file(s) that the user told OpenMW to load. E.g. this might cause an object to not display at all or as intended, however the rest of the game will run fine.
An Error, however, is more likely to be a bug with the engine itself - it means that basic assumptions have been violated and the engine might not run correctly anymore.
The above mostly applies to errors/warnings during game-play; startup issues are handled differently: when a file is completely invalid/corrupted to the point that the engine can not start, that might cause messages that are worded as Error due to the severity of the issue but are not necessarily the engine's fault.
Hopefully, being a little more consistent here will alleviate confusion among users as to when a log message should be reported and to whom.
The flag is normally set to off by default when using Viewer::run() - however since we're using our own frame loop, we have to unset the flag ourselves
Practical benefits:
- Filter settings are now applied to native OSG format models. These models do not use TextureManager::getTexture2D since the model itself specifies a Texture.
- The GUI render manager will be able to use its own separate textures, making it easier to turn off filtering for them.
Fixes potential crash when the loading screen layout tries to retrieve a GMST value via #{GMST} syntax before the World has been created.
Possibly related to Bug #2854.
Changes compared to old (Ogre) water:
- Uses depth-texture readback to handle the underwater fog in the water shader, instead of handling it in the object shader
- Different clipping mechanism (glClipPlane instead of a skewed viewing frustum)
- Fixed bug where the reflection camera would look strange when the viewer was very close to the water surface
- Toned down light scattering, made the waterColor a bit darker at night
- Fixed flipped water normals and strange resulting logic in the shader
Still to do: see comments...
The framerate limit can be used to reduce strain on the CPU and GPU, in a way similar to VSync, but without the increased input lag that is typical with VSync.
Fixed several issues:
* Waiting/jail time/training all now properly skip remaining transitions
* ChangeWeather no longer permanently sets the region's weather
* ChangeWeather being called during a transition now correctly queues up
another transition
* Corrected transition delta and factor calculations
* ModRegion settings are now saved
