-Nametag bubble visbility is oddly inconsistent. May vanish with future planned UI merges...
-VBOs are PAINFULLY slow on ATI hardware. This repos self-compiled davep/shining-fixes branch, so I'll leave the ball in LL's court for now regarding that.
LL has since removed high-res snapshots using render targets. I find this change to be favorable, as rendertargets were very finicky to get working with anti-aliasing. Also, deferred rendering uses many rendertargets that depend on screen resolution. Changing resolution every screenshot is.. not very awesome.
There is some deviation from LL's viewer. I've kept the old tiled glow pass enabled for non-deferred, as it fixes issues with tile edges truncating glow propogation. However, this does no work with deferred yet. I need to pin down why. I assume using binding one of the RenderTargets is required for deferred.
Additionally, the usage of a RenderTarget for snapshots is what prevented me from fully enabling my supersampling settings. Now that that hurdle is gone, I consider including this new setting by default to be safe enough.
And a note: Do not remove the 'tiling' variable when merging with v2 changes, as singu's glow pass is 'special'. There are other fixes absent from LL's viewer that require knowing if the render is tiled or not. (water reflections/cloud freezing)
Deferred fastalpha behaves a bit better.
Pulled over patch for https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-336 and https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-1011 from linden repo
Sky rendered using new LL method. Assuming this fixes issues on AMD cards(works on cat 11.2)
Added a few things missed related to spatial-parition updating.
Added 'SkipReflectOcclusionUpdates' setting that prevents occlusion updates for reflection pass. Less taxing on CPU.
-Null terminated a string buffer.
-Mutex locks are expensive.
-Realloc is my friend.
-But leaks are not.
-Nor are unused variables.
-And buffer overruns should get lost.
-bindManual shouldnt return failure if texture's already bound.
-Pulled windlight and classic clouds apart into unique rendertypes.
-'Client or Account' savedsettings stuff is now moar bettar. (and efficient)
-Replaced LLSavedSettingsGlue with something that supports gSavedSettings, gSavedPerAccountSettings, and gCOASavedSettings
-Added 'Enable Classic Clouds' checkbox to ascet performance settings panel
-New cards added to gpu table.
-General cleaning...
-How2spell 'dimensions'?
