With it on, which was always the case before this setting was added,
vanilla content and poorly-made mods will look acceptable, but well-made
mods will have alpha-tested meshes appear to grow and potentially gain a
weird outline as they get further away.
With it off, which replicates the 0.46 behaviour, well-made mods will
look really good, but vanilla content and poorly-made mods will have
alpha-tested meshes shrink as they get further away.
It's been bugging me that this was forced on since 0.47 released, and
I'd hoped to figure out a solution for automatic detection at some point
before 0.48 branched off, but I didn't, so now this is what we're
getting to have Tamriel Rebuilt look right.
Cylinder collision shape should give the best consistency between physics
simulation and pathfinding. Rotating box is already used by some actors, so
add it to have the same collision shape type for all actors.
1 with the data directories
2 with the BSA archives
3 with the content selector
When user select a directory to be added, first we walk the directory
hierarchy to make a list of all potential data= entries. If we find
none, the selected directory is added.
If more than one data directory is found, user is presented with a
directory list to check which one(s) are to be added.
Directories containing one or more content file are marked with an icon.
data= and fallback-archive= lines are handled like content= lines:
- they are part of the profile in launcher.cfg, prefixed by the profile
name
- they are updated in openmw.cfg when profile is selected / created
Directories can be moved in the list by drag and drop or by buttons.
Insertion is possible anywhere in the list.
Global data path and data local are shown but are greyed out, as they
are always included.
No attempt is made to ensure that the user choice are valid
(dependencies, overwrite of content).
After a profile is loaded, any added content is highlighted in green.
The plan is to add additional options to this new tab, and since it's of similar status as the Shaders settings, it makes sense to put them next to them on the Graphics page.
Since we'll be adding additional settings in the near future and the list is already getting very long, I figured I would group these like we do on the "Miscellaneous" tab.
Previously, all main content was in a single box, separated from the bottom containing the version and Help/Close/Play buttons. For pages that already had boxes, that meant there were were boxes within boxes and this looked visually cluttered.
I've removed the box to reduce the amount of visual clutter and added a horizontal line so that the content is still separated from the bottom content.
