* two more hardening fixes..     these are definitely timing things with events fired while a render is occurring.

Some improvement to Sydney's animations. She now responds to several of the animation messages from the sim.

Got Help->About reading About.xml with device_OnEvent. I think we should add our notes with user commands in here for a while. Deleted the Prebuild.sln file and the Config.xml file which was read by Example09 and not used by Idealist.

Add enum for MenuID to help tie menu items to events.

corrected some typos in log messages

* Potential string fix for vista logtext events

* Fixed picking code to work with a resizable window

Add the logic to read the about file (currently config.xml). No event handler yet, but a little closer.

* Make font bigger! 

Make a fourth menu item. Make the window resizable. Add Ckrinke to Contributors.

Beginnings of menu and submenu's. This is the first commit by ckrinke on this project.

* Make GUIEvents fire.

Locks interpolation .Z to terrain at the very least.    Or..  if the avatar falls off the face of the world, let it fall.
switching off multiple sims for now..   as over the internet it's impossible to move with multiple sims on.

A little better interpolation for avatar.   Also interpolates based on sim time dilation.  For now it's the current sim.

* Rotational bounce back eliminated

* Kill another null exception in flora

Some basic animations for Sydney. She and her fellow MD2 format compatriots now respond to animation messages from the sim. Not all MD2 animation constants appear to work but she can stand and crouch.

* Fix null reference if shaders are not supported by the hardware.

removed spare trees rezzed at 0,0,0

Thanks fword for the relog command :)
Also removed some cruft from BaseIdealistViewer.cs

more work on trees and foliage - still a way to go yet

initial support for trees. You probably don't want to be in or near a region where trees are being edited.

minor tweak to terrain elevation

* okay reverting those changes.

one more *nix test

* Commenting out the meta triangle selector to help potentially with *nix*
* A Test.

* Fix a windows specific path.

* Change Sky technique.
* Demo, might change again.

* A Few Memory Management techniques
* Sped up prim loading.  x2
* Killed the tree.  Will put that back in when I have it set up to actually represent a plant

rudimentary console based chat and teleporting

* 1st Milestone met.  Wright Plaza loaded completely with 99% of the textures loaded and idealistviewer was stable enough to pick/move rotate, fly, cam..  etc.
* FullUpdateCount:5071, PrimCount:4141, TextureCount:467, UniquePrim:311
* Added a mesh cache for sculpted prim 
* Apply per-face color settings in c++ as it's much faster and we get the added benefit of not storing a reference to the Vertex3D after.

* Fixes some artifacts from the last commit.

* Adds MeshFactory to keep # of Vertex3D references down 
* Adds IrrlichtNETCP::MeshManipulator_CreateMeshCopy - hooks to the native method.
* Improves memory usage.

update PrimMesher.dll to r18
offload sculpty LOD scaling to PrimMesher.dll
a little cleanup here and there

* A teeny weeny improvement in memory usage.   ~100 more entities & 500 more object updates.
* Press P in the graphics window to print the number of object updates we receive and the entities
* Press C to clear the in-memory image cache.  (this will cause a slight reduction in memory usage but will stop sharing the textures between the meshes and reload the texture from disk as a new instance)

* Better Avatar control and 3rd person followcam.
* Remember, you can switch between follow cam and build cam by holding the control button for build cam.

* Very basic avatar control.  No fly yet, but you can jump.
* Slightly improved speed picker

* Documentation commit.

pass sculpt type to mesher

* Add FPS in window title for now.  updates frames per second about 2 times per second.

* Fixes rogue sculpties that aren't.
* Inside joke:  Fungus killer.

This fixes the picker.
* Overloaded GenerateHashCode for TriangleSelector to (int)IntPtr the pointer in memory gotten through interop.  That will be unique but ensure that any instance that is the same will be equal. This is important so that it can be removed from the list easily.

* Fix Null Ref

* Adds general support for Sculpted prim, but so far..   no prim is being displayed, not sure why.

basic sculpty meshing and UV experimental code

first pass at adding sculpty support

I have created something, I think I'll call it a shrubbery.

* Comitting per-face setting data.   
* While this doesn't always match the number of faces from PrimMesher, it prints a warning when it would error on mismatched faces/MeshBuffers.

* Some enhancements on prim with visibility = 0
* A few chance memory handlers.  It'll eventually crash but it'll take longer now when you're out of mem.

added code to texture initial rezzed avatar

* light tweaks

* Fixes object update bugs
* Makes use of color in objects now.

* Avatar position update..   getting close to what it should look like..  (maybe it's an illusion?)

fixed an access violation when logging animation data

* Committing some test avatar stuff.
* Will be playing with the test to get the rotations right.

* basic text name over an avatar

* This re-enables ambient light. (the shadowy terrain was getting me dizzy)

* Updates Irrlicht to 1.4.2 r1686, uploads a modified IrrlichtNETCP to work with r1686.  
* Fixes a cosmetic issue with Sydney.

added ability to specify multiple textures for the avatar mesh - changes noted in IdealistViewer.ini.example

* Updates IrrlichtNETCP to 0.9
* Updates Irrlicht SDK to 1.4.1
* Will update libs next.

Update to PrimMesher.dll r7
Increment version number to 0.000000000002

* Fix Skybox to look like an actual sky!

This turns alpha textures back on, but only when the texture actually has an alpha layer.
This 'check' is expensive, so we cache the result.   We need a better way to do this probably.

* Better camera pointing
* Prevents meshing while rendering the scene (updated object rendering pipeline)
* Adds Alpha channel recognition to the texture manager

* Fixes child prim rotations

* Start location parsing from the URI
* Also an optional start_location parameter in the ini

* Fixes some avatar update code.

* remove my interface experiments for now
* Tweak the picker so you can pick terrain again.

* Adds camera targeting persistence (ctrl + click = camera target stays focused on target)
* Adds basic interpolation for avatar and physical/active objects.

add configuration options for backface culling and avatar mesh
adjust lighting to enhance shadow detail a bit

* Committing sydney as every avatar.
* Incomplete commit.  Compiles and runs, but there's more that's on it's way.

* no longer full bright yay

* Fixed white texture loading issue.
* Textures now load first shot.

* Found where the general textures are located in the Primitive object 
* Load textures as the viewer encounters them.  (though they appear white when calling for some reason)   A second run pulls the files from disk.  (maybe irrlicht has a disk cache?)

* Adds Texture loading to prim.   Currently we don't have a per-face texture, so it applies the highest face texture to the whole thing.
* See IdealistViewer.ini.Example for how to turn this off.

* Fixes the borkiness of some terrain.

* Enables proper object management.   Objects now act appropriately when they're updated on the simulator.

* Initial commit, moved from /gf/project/idealistviewer/scmsvn/?action=browse&path=svn%3A%2F%2Fteravus.wmcv.com%3A9001%2FIdealistViewer
