Well, I'm not talking about such major changes, for now :) For the first step I want to enable full FP support. The floating point support is a bit abstracted from stretching, I'm can't even see how 3d format is related to such hacks... Btw, I recall smth about 'deep' (whatever the word should be) placement for defenses. If the problem is with building preview in GUI why can't we use user clip plane to solve the issue? Shaders will work, but we can provide FF fallback for this... _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
