The work I'm doing should make this a bit easier, though I'm not changing the file format itself. > If we add something like this in now, we might also come to the point of > implementing a re-parsing of materials.xml at runtime, so textures could > switch on a transatlantic flight from US type to Europe type. Certainly. I'm now familiar enough with the code that this should be fairly straightforward to implement. I'll add it to my TODO list. There are already a couple of conditional statements in materials[-dds].xml that really should be evaluated at tile-load time rather than startup. > Regional texturing is a feature which would be nice on GIT - by now, we > also have enough GPL-compatible textures to pull it off (a while ago, > Adrian posted a very impressive GLP texture pack in the forum). > > I'd be willing to help implementing it. That would be great. I saw the textures on the forum, but haven't had the chance to look at them. I suggest implementing this in a separate directory (Materials/regional) once the new file structure is in place (hopefully tonight).

Will do! I'm going to leave the existing materials[-dds],xml files unchanged for now so people can easily go back to them if they find bugs in the new versions of the files. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
