tested x64 on arch linux. launcher works, but openmw doesn't start: OGRE Exception when attempting to add sky: OGRE EXCEPTION(5:ItemIdentityException): Can not find codec for 'png' image format. There are no formats supported (no codecs registered). in Codec::getCodec at /build/buildd/ogre-1.7.3/Ogr...

I already suspected something like that. Maybe it would be best to disable the composite map altogether (or at least make an option to disable it) since the GPU load it takes away stands in no relation to the cell loading time it adds.

I've never heard of fake bump maps. And its not possible to save per-pixel normals in the mesh file itself. Maybe you can specify a bit more.

@Yacoby: There's an option to enable multithreading support in ogre (OgreMain/include/OgreConfig.h, to be precise OGRE_THREAD_SUPPORT and OGRE_THREAD_PROVIDER). Until now I thought it would be enable by default, but looking at the 1.8RC i downloaded it has both set to 0. Edit: Oops, I was wrong. Ogr...

I've integrated all your changes in my branch already, so yeah you could just branch off from it.

Just a quick question regarding the fact that you have your(?) next branch merged with terrain, I would assume that makes it hard to merge release your sky code without the terrain code. (Or I am missing something?). nope, I have a seperate branch (called terrain_next) for terrain. (and my sky code...

Just a reminder if you're testing, don't use the plugins.cfg from 0.12 or you are definitely going to crash because of missing CG (just happened to BrotherBrick). To be sure, run make install again.

nice work! I've fixed the artifacts but give me some time to clean it up and push. Edit: done: https://github.com/scrawl/openmw/commit/2bea4c47242420b8d0b5db4661745a410186a727 I'm not sure about this line, I took it from your previous commit because I had to get a Ogre::TexturePtr and not Ogre::Imag...

looks like a shader failed to compile. post the full ogre log.

I doubt that. The terrain doesn't even have vertex normals; it uses a texture for those. Therefore it looks like its slower to modify the vertex stuff (because of the LOD) than just putting things into a texture. This seems to be one colour map for the entire terrain group. Are you sure?
