Roadmap

Ideas for enhancements to the engine. There is no time frame for anything.

• High performance particle system
• Billboard system for the trees
• Sound support
• Flock movement. The engine currently only supports point to point walking.
• Squad movement.
• Optimize startup time
• Re-load resources
• Optimize key grinliz utilities
• Have snow effect pathing
• Sky reflections in the water

Completed:

• [complete 2.0] Alpha support in objects
• [complete 2.0] Improve Skybox implementation
• [complete 2.0] Shadows
• [complete 2.0] Ground plants
• [complete 1.4] Animation system. MD2 support added.
• [complete 1.5] Buildings. Movement to and from buildings, integration with the pather. Movement on buildings where appropriate.
• [complete 1.5] Pather cleanup
• [complete 1.5] Establish clear startup assets
• [complete 1.4] OpenGL state manager
• [complete 1.5] Enter buildings
• [complete 1.5.0] Walk on buildings
• [complete 1.3.0] Quad support for AC3D
• [better 1.3.0] Smooth terrain for Bridge Morph
• [complete 1.3.0] Eliminate terrain jumping with vertex shaders. The far terrain "jumps" too much as it crosses the far plane.
• [complete 1.1.0] 3D texture terrain. The current approaches overpaints to achieve the terrain blending. A 3D texture would look better and render faster on cards with support. (The old system will get left in - not all my machines have 3D texture rendering.)
• [complete 1.1.0] Improved camera.
• [complete 1.2.0] Trees
• [complete 1.2.0] Decals for the terrain. Spell effects, footprints, land effects, etc.
