| kroddn | GeofftheMedio: is your current work on that ShaderProgram targetting that openGL < 2.0 will be possible to users? | 10:59 |
|---|---|---|
| GeofftheMedio | no | 10:59 |
| GeofftheMedio | I think... I'm not sure exactly what you're asking | 10:59 |
| GeofftheMedio | but probably no | 10:59 |
| GeofftheMedio | also: it's really tzlaine's work... I just nicied it up so it'd compile and such | 11:00 |
| GeofftheMedio | if we want opengl < 2.0 to be runnable, I think a bunch of new ogre materials stuff would need to be made that use only fixed function gl calls | 11:01 |
| kroddn | I just wondered about your commet that you outsource such shader functionality | 11:01 |
| GeofftheMedio | "outsource" ? | 11:02 |
| GeofftheMedio | you mean "encapsulate" ? | 11:02 |
| kroddn | "Added class to encapsulate" ... | 11:02 |
| GeofftheMedio | that just means wrap in a class | 11:02 |
| GeofftheMedio | whether or not we used shaders for rendering doesn't depend on there being a class to manage them or simplify their use | 11:03 |
| kroddn | i know what that means, but you didn't write about your intention | 11:03 |
| kroddn | never mind | 11:03 |

| GeofftheMedio | oh... well, I can't imagine any situation where adding shaders to the code would lower the opengl version requirements below 2.0 | 11:03 |
| GeofftheMedio | since shaders are mostly in gl 2.0 or later | 11:04 |
| GeofftheMedio | and none of what I'm doing matters at all, since there's alraedy a gl dependence due to the ogre stuff, which this isn't part of | 11:04 |
| kroddn | It was just a little hope :-) | 11:04 |
| GeofftheMedio | well, I don't intend to add anything that can't be turned off... so future gl requirement reduction efforts shouldn't be affected | 11:05 |
| GeofftheMedio | and if we made a version of the client that didn't use 3D battles, in principle the gl requirement could be reduced | 11:05 |
| GeofftheMedio | actually, we could make a version of the client that requires nothing more than a text prompt by writing an interactive python shell that accesses the gamestate and issues orders just like the AI does | 11:06 |
| kroddn | A client for mobile devices would be great | 11:07 |
| kroddn | cu, I'll leave now | 11:11 |
| GeofftheMedio | bye | 11:11 |
