[SOLVED] Gentoo Git build

Right, they do work - activated by pressing space, not any mouse button - my bad.

BTW when in Balmora my framerate dropped from a healthy 44 down to 1 - it looks great, but seems almost unusable... :/

EDIT: Interesting, after loading Gnisis I ended up in water, which enabled me to see a strange behaviour: when the console was open, the framerate was ~40 fps, but after turning it off it goes down to 1 - this is particularly visible when in water, because it can clearly be seen swirling (or not).

This sounds like the issue with Bullet. Bullet versions 2.78 and 2.79 have a bug that drops the framerate to 1 in exteriors. Either upgrade or downgrade. You can see an fps display with F10 btw.

Also, anyone who's interested on a list of things you can do at the moment, take a look at the testing page on the wiki.

Edit:

Also, I saw the camera "walk" around the map in the video, how to turn that on? I suppose the console can be used for that like in the video, are the commands documented somewhere?

That's 'tcl' in the console. (F1)

Thanks for the link, that was exactly what I was looking for! Also, Bullet 2.80 fixed the slowdown problem - I get at least 40 fps everywhere.

I compiled OpenMW with Bullet 2.80, there was a lot of warnings like these:

But it looks like those are on the Bullet side, so probably no reason for concern...
