At this rate... VSG will be ready before OpenMW gets to 1.0 :/

It's much easier to work on something new than maintain legacy stuff. We need to keep compatibility with all the dumb decisions Bethesda made and loads of legacy bloat in OSG, but VSG doesn't need to copy anything.

So OpenMW would have to two support two renderes?

We don't need to add support for VSG, but if we do, we would need to add it as a second renderer.

I have a WIP branch... updates appveyor to drop msvc 2015, adds msvc 2019 (2017 and 2019), linux drops gcc-5 and we use std::filesytem instead of std::experimental:filesystem in bsatool. Just bsatool for now, easy/small to test as my other MR is full of merge conflicts. I don't want to come back to this after a month and have more conflicts.

The main problem is still MacOS. std::filesystem/std::experimental::filesystem isn't there yet until MacOS 10.15 and Travis doesn't have that yet. Having the SDK installed is not enough, the libstdc++ of the system itself has to be updated and Travis still uses 10.14.

It might make life harder for Android people. It also means that tes3mp will likely also have to adapt.

No need to worry about that. It's the easiest thing for TES3MP to adapt to.

MacOS 10.15 was just released about a week ago and Travis already has up to Xcode 11.2 support (which has std::filesystem support). It's just a matter of time now.

Sadly not... they use Xcode 11.2 with 10.15 SDK on 10.14 MacOS. So no go until they finally get around to actually running MacOS 10.15 (libstdc++), so yeah... as I've said, we''be been waiting years now.

My latest MR is here if you would like to follow along:

original was from 2017 was:
https://github.com/OpenMW/openmw/pull/1526

Been waiting, literately for years now.

I bet you that it is indeed a matter of time. Some number of picoseconds greater than 0 from now until the end of the universe.

Anyway, I'll bet you a dollar it's done before 2020. :D
