RenderBin optimization

[Marvin Fröhlich]

Hmm, after updating xith3d and xith-tk, the geometry of the quake level is a bit odd.  It looks like the indices are messed up in some places or something, especially over the doorways.  Anyone else see that?

Yes, I see that, too. But I don't think, it has somehting to do with the renderer, but with the loader. But I have no idea what it could be.

Are link and sharedgroups correctly handled with display lists now ?

Will do it this evening.

OK, so I don't use them for now in my game.

done.

Ahhh HA!!!!    my missing FPS counter is yellow in the upper corner of this image....

My mistake this was a HUD sample in the BSPLoader not my code...

[kevglass]

I believe thats that FRAPS counter - though maybe it's a good mimic?

It's fraps.

It's fraps.

What is fraps? is it a person, who wronte an fps counter? Is it based on the HUD system? Is it based on RenderLoop's FPS event? How is it done? Does it effect the actual FPS?

It's a frame rate counter (and video capture and other stuff) which is independent on the software/engine/scenegraph generating the render. It's nice in that it doesn't rely on some part of the engine getting the timing right etc. I would assume in this case it's being used on all 3 engines to check FPS as an independent observer.

Ah. Thanks.

Well, I guess it was you and me (espeacially me).

If it was in the rendering code, there should be more shapes out of place, I think. Do you agree. So it must be in the BSP loader.
