Here comes the configurability patch, tested here with today's CVS. http://www.tarunz.org/~vassilii/fg/rain.diff Please review and apply if it's fine. Changes: 1) SimGear: * environment/visual_enviro.cxx now depends on props/props.hxx, which means additional link dependency when using libsgenvironment.a (fortunately the props are already linked in in the fgfs case!) * corrected the glRotatef() order in drawRain even further (a less obvious mistake than before, which is noticed by looking skywards and wiggling the mouse in the view direction change mode) * all the "magic numbers" used in the rain rendering code have been provided a default (based on the old hardcoded value) in a form of a define, and a meaningfully named static member in SGEnviro * SGEnviro::config() added to init the above according to defaults or config props * minor redundant gl call in DrawCone2 optimized away (twice per frame) * documented the change in the speed parameter meaning (leftover from the last patch) * more dox added along * minor spelling: s/familly/family/g 2) FlightGear/source: adding a call to SGEnviro::config to the FGEnvironmentMgr 3) FlightGear/data: an addition to preferences.xml, listing the current defaults (i.e., it'll work the same without this one applied, but is there for the docu. sake) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
