dpJudas wrote:If you decide to try do a rewrite then the classes I created in r_swrenderer2.h should be a good start. Be warned tho: The task is so big it would take forever to get it finished - mostly because there's so many edge cases that have been tracked down in the old renderer.
Slope code was actually developed by randi, it isn't derived from the Build source. Randi once provided a list of parts where build code was being used, but the slopes aren't really part of it.Eruanna wrote:I suspect (but would have to check) the slope code.
