Re: I want to join

In theory there could be many threads (music, AI, the different subsystems), the OS balances the threads across available logical CPUs. It really depends on the threading implementation though. Background music should also sit in apart thread as it is just 'mood' music anyway. This keeps it out of ...

Re: separate threads

I skip read the multithreading part of the ØMQ intro, but it didn't ever sell me on why I should use it? Or the performance/api benefits over TBB or something like that. It also isn't used as much, so hasn't generated as much documentation/questions. Compare the result in google of "ØMQ thread ...

Re: Projected release date with all currently-planned featur

The bigger problem I see is 1.1, which will (I assume) take several years after the release of 1.0 due to arguing over the scripting language ;)

Re: Water Rendering

Assuming we are going to thread the AI (because not threading it makes no sense) I am sure we could hack this to use the provided AI system later. As the AI should have enough knowledge to compute the distance from the player to water and given that it would be running on another core and doesn't ha...

The coordination overhead would probably kill any advantage this gains us.
Some other Open Source projects must have run into this issue. You could always go and ask them to see what they did to solve it?

Re: Terrain

Solution: Don't touch ATI with a bargepole?

It would be possible to write a fallback material that didn't use shaders I think. The downside of this is that it is a lot of extra work and probably wouldn't be as fast as the shader version. It is also quite a lot of work.
