Newyears present. Thanks

hello,jcl can i use decal shadow as c-skript?

Nice work, thanks JCL...

Thanks again for the new update
I´ve imported my FBX level with WED V6.888, but I can´t detect any changes, the bug is the same as I´ve described at Import level from FBX - Bug thread.

thanks for the update.

Hey JC...
I see that the "Shared Texture" situation has been resolved...
Anything done about the terrain not being identified when "Polycollision" variable is set to "0"...?
My work runs at 60+fps at "0" and gets cut to a third when set to 0.5, 1 or 2...
This is a major issue for me with my huge levels and all that is being rendered...
(I remain at using Version 7.07... also because I love how the launch runs at between 2000 - 3000 fps on my Dell XPS.)
Please advise...
Paul

Using AABB is much faster than straight poly colision, I have noticed since A7's introduction.

Some answers:

- Can i use decal shadows in C-skript: Yes, with some restrictions, f.i. no individual decals.

- Imported textures are still 32 bit: Yes, for some reason unknown to me fixing this bug was difficult - it will be fixed in the next version, 7.7.

- Slow frame rate with OBB collision: Yes, OBB is slower than AABB, but normally there are many ways to get still a high frame rate. Upload your level or send it to Support and we'll check what can be done in your case.
