nice work hebron, i do have 1 question about the wireframe(and dots?)

do you have seperate vbo's for them?

since changing the GL_TRIANGLES to a GL_LINE* creates ugly graphical glitches

[hebronsawyers]

@remco138 Noooo way, thats overkill bro..

Calling function - glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BAC­K, GL_FILL);

GL_FILL is default and everything is rendered normally, GL_POINT is everything rendered just points and GL_LINE is lines. Easy eh? I believe others use this technique too =)

@superant10000 ofcourse hehe

@superant10000 Yeah man I think that the fps is really good and everything, I was just saying that the map itself was kinda bad for most types of game lol. Unless it's like 1:500 scale O_O

@superant10000 I hear ya dog, but I'll "splain" to ya!

With around 60 fps, your movement is SMOOTH on my Engine. I'm recording this insane benchmark which a screen recorder at the same time as moving around, so my computer was freakin' out just a little... 1-5 Fps-ish

[superant10000]

Unless this is a stationary artillery game, the map is a little... erm...

Hard to navigate?

If you wanted a player to walk around in that , you would end up very dissappointed with the feedback. Just sayin.

@1dantheman100 hehe, Thanks!

Ok basically if I draw the terrain normally ->

- I have to use new data for the polygons every frame

- Which is painfully slow when I have say.. 1m faces

But with the OpenGL VBO's (Vertex Buffer Object) ->

- I can save all the data for the polygons I need to draw later once

- Which means when I have 1m faces, the full power of one's computer can be focuses on drawing the terrain and not handling the colossal amount of data, in other words... Sexy Time! :D:D

k. your godly lol. 1m faces? please explain
