Possibly this could be fixed better by using the plugin string data - but there is nothing that currently set this; and it seems easier to use the particle callback enabled flag.
Remove would_log() : callbacks receive all log messages so they can
do custom filtering individually.
Also move popup message handling into the private (d-ptr) of sglog(),
to keep the header as minimal impossible (no include of <vector>)
1. Anything that comes in from OSG will always be logged; it seems
somewhat redundant to have to set the FG log level to be identical to
the OSG log level to see these messages.
2. Console output will now have delta time (since start), priority and class.
3. Log file output wil also have delta time (since start), priority and class.
Times are displayed as delta decimal seconds since the logger was created
e.g.
1294.06 [INFO]:terrain Some log message
This is a performance improvement that reduces the amount of frame pauses which are related to mipmap creation when the geometry (osg::Texture) is added to the scene graph within osg::Texture::applyTexImage2D_load
The texture cache is configured from FG as follows
- /sim/rendering/texture-cache/cache-enabled
- /sim/rendering/texture-cache/compress-transparent
- /sim/rendering/texture-cache/compress-solid
- /sim/rendering/texture-cache/compress
These properties are set via the SGSceneFeatures singleton.
When the texture cache is enabled it will auto convert files from any supported osg::Image format that can be read and store the resulting (compressed or raw) file in the texture cache.
The texture cache uses osg_nvtt to perform texture compression (and mipmap generation) if available. When not available simgear::effect::computeMipmap is used to make mimaps but compression isn't available.
The texture cache filename ends with .TIME.cache.dds where TIME is the hex modtime of the original file. As yet there isn't a clean way to maintain the texture cache to ensure that stale files are removed; and in fact this is quite difficult to do because of the dynamic nature of the cache.
The texture cache will be stored in download_dir/texture-cache unless --texture-cache is passed on the command line.
The UI has a single checkbox to turn the texture cache on or off.
This was something that happened when random vegetation was off, but tree shadows was on.
Adding random vegetation would then reliably cause an exception.
Under Basic Weather, the cloudfield is finite size and clouds
are shifted as the viewpoint changes. Previously each cloud
was checked every frame to determine if it should be shifted.
Not this only occurs if the viewpoint has moved a non-trivial
distance.
Note that this is separate from the clouds moving due to the wind.
This is fixing an issue identified in the launcher in a secondary way,
to ensure if another user of the API tries to schedule an already
scheduled package, we ignore the second request.
When adding/remove subsystems to a group which is already bound or
inited, transition the subsystem automatically. This removes the
need to manually transition the subsystem in various places in
Flightgear.
