OpenMW 0.14.0

[Zini]

Can't confirm. Shutdown works correctly here.

I cannot reproduce it either... I've run it 4 times now. 1 in 4 gives that issue.

[Zini]

I merged in the clothing/rendering branch, including the corrections by scrawl. There is still at least one bug left and some outstanding cleaning up too, but to get as much testing as possible, we need packages for all platforms now. Please create the the first set of RC packages for 0.14.0.

32-bit Windows RC package

I'll get the 64-bit one up tomorrow, need to recompile Ogre first.

[WeirdSexy]

Ok, so:

• Mesh orientation fix
• Terrain Rendering
• Water Rendering
• Render Clothing/Armor + Auto-equip
• Local Map/Mini Map/Compass
• Window Pinning
• NPC Dialogue Window Improvements
• Factions
• Briefly mention some "behind the scenes" stuff
  Game Settings Manager, Draw State, etc.
• Stuff to look for in the near future
  Terrain Collision, Player Control, ESP/Multiple ESMs, etc.

Sound good for a video? Anything I'm missing or shouldn't include from my list?

When compiling I got these warning:

/home/openmw/components/bsa/bsa_archive.cpp: In member function 'bool {anonymous}::DirArchive::findFile(const String&, std
::string&) const':

Please test, I'm getting a segmentation fault on openmw startup.

Other things you should be mentioning:
We have shadows.
The Game Settings Manager is not behind the scenes, it's giving the users the ability to configure all shorts of things, and really makes a difference for low-end hardware.
Picking up items is working much better now due to occlusion queries.
The path grid is fully functional.
Also, it might be considered background stuff but it was a pretty big task, rewriting the whole sound management infrastructure.

Additional things to look forward to in the future:
Inventory GUI
Tooltips/Floating labels for the GUI
Use of Ogre's animation system for animations which will improve animation performance greatly.
We are also working on a Demo Cell, made up with freely available content, that will demonstrate the capabilities of the engine without the need for the original game data.

These are off the top of my head, I might also be forgetting stuff.

So excited for this. PUMPED for 0.14, great work guys!

[werdanith]

I tried the windows build.
On Direct X I still see issues with some transparent leaves appearing behind other stuff, like some trees and water. Also I can't enable the shadows. (I was under the impression that the capabilities check for shadows on Direct X shouldn't fail)
On OpenGL with the water shader enabled the whole screen freezes.

Are we going to do something about the game whimsically defaulting to OpenGL every time you run it?

One correction: Pathgrids are not functional. They can be rendered, but that is all. They are not in use yet.
