I'd love to have fading. Nearly every game does it, and it's easy to see why; everything feels much better to the player when transitions are smoothed out and don't "pop". It's one of the subtle things that contribute to feelings of polish and quality. Even if my PC was capable of running ...

Confirmed that the issue is present in recent nightlies; physics quickly enters a death spiral when the ever-problematic slave cages and their NPCs are visible. Wareya is looking into it.

Adding this brief discussion with AnyOldName3 about the viability of LOD, since there is some talk that may be good to reference later. AnyOldName3 is in normal typeface and myself in bold, with minor editing for flow: I am wracking my brain trying to think how OpenMW can possibly balance good visua...

There are two ways in which light "pops" in OpenMW. The one in your videos is due to the 8-light limit, which is a limitation in vanilla Morrowind as well, but there is something else vanilla is doing (possibly baked light on scene load) that, for example, makes it handle the lighting in A...

I pointed the Tamriel Rebuilt Discord to this topic and this is the feedback I've received so far (from team member arvisrend): first, i'd love to have some flexible filtering: i want to filter, but it should show some indications of things being filtered out ideally, there should be a bit of space ...

It should also be possible to run osg:simplify on a chunk and cache that. But akortunov (who is the only one that has tried osg:simplify) favors it as an offline solution and not real-time. Any other thoughts on that?

Right now the focus has been on supporting existing grass mods that were created for MGE XE, but what should happen beyond that is still being discussed. For grass that "just works" with landscape height editing, the most likely outcome in the medium-term is generation based on ground text...

If you can remember what those points were, this is the place to put them; both memory and a quick search failed me just now. Plus it's convenient to have it alongside the other dev insights in this thread.

Regarding chunk size, I was under the impression object paging chunks were held in a quad tree, with four-cell chunks being used beyond a certain distance, and sixteen-cell chunks beyond that. That's how the chunks work for the terrain system. That's exactly what I thought too; it doesn't make sens...

The provided example .zip does indeed atlas some tree and rock sets, though it didn't make much of a difference, as you can see.
