Damn.

Our release files have become so large that I literally cannot upload them. This release isn't significantly larger than the last, but on my crap American internet connection, I can't sustain an upload for a single file for the time it takes to upload, it always fails at the end.

I have the release saved as a draft on github, would someone be able to upload the release packages to that draft, and then ping me? As soon as the files are uploaded I will publish the github release, and do our blog/facebook/twitter posts.

Sorry guys. Wish I had better internet...

"Darth Gares" -> "Dagoth Gares"

That made my day!

Oops, that was my fault because I called him that in the bug report title

Both are titles for bad guys and sound a bit similar, so I tend to sometimes confuse them

Hi, I'm a long time lurker and I just had a play around with the release, had a couple of thoughts while I was messing with it.

Firstly, the rain effect doesn't look great currently, it's very obvious that it's a small area floating around you, most clear when you're looking upwards, but also when you're looking at distant objects.

Second, it would be cool if adjacent exterior cells, or maybe just the closest adjacent cell, could be preloaded. I don't know the effect that it would have on memory footprint, but even if it was just an option that would be amazing; it would really make travelling around the world feel much more smooth.

Fixed crash when calling getDistance on items in the player's inventor

viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2516 bit of making in 0.33 update and seems that it just the cheap solution what needs to be found and implemented. shaders are making old comps to knees at least. MGE XE shaders way totally no go with previous and this one some years old would still cough in those.

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1964 for bigger one those world spaces come after 1.0 according to zini's interview. landscaping and stuff would quess.

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1888 this one (weather effect on screen) maybe if there's some script handle for raining and stuff

Second, it would be cool if adjacent exterior cells, or maybe just the closest adjacent cell, could be preloaded. I don't know the effect that it would have on memory footprint, but even if it was just an option that would be amazing; it would really make traveling around the world feel much more smooth.

as for preloading what have understood first they need paging and batching optimized more. waiting for ogre 2.0 new system would reckon.
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2492 distant blur or some might be possible

inventor -> inventory

Thanks, fixed on the three release versions above. Scrawl, might I bug you to upload the release packages to the draft on github? Or psi29a?

[scrawl]

I'm on it.

[scrawl]

Github upload done.

[raevol]

Thank you so much scrawl! Just got home, publishing the release now.
