I've noticed many bugs in the 3.9 OpenGL implementation that were reported since 3.7. So, it doesn't seem that much was done on that part. Is there a changelog of the fixes made to OpenGL?

Were you just noting the outstanding issues list(which does need some pruning, now), or have you noticed some issues in particular when testing?

The compilation issues with libCollada, which i got past after making some minor fixes. Also, the terrain in OpenGL seems very unstable. The character falls from it in certain areas (can't give more information right now, i'm trying to find a pattern in order to report this) and there are seams in the textures whenever you use normal or parallax mapping.

There are also random crashes with large terrains, but i also wasn't able to find a pattern yet. Are there any other Linux users out there? Maybe we can help by debugging together and sharing reports

Still trying to find a combo to reproduce it this end at least

As far as what's been addressed gl side:
systemic-
https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/pull/1567
https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/pull/1597
https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/pull/1599
specific-
https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/pull/1598
https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/pull/1536
https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/pull/1505
https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/pull/1439
https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/pull/1578
https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/pull/1560
probly a few others I missed in a quick once-over.

Some of those aren't really OpenGL, persay, but yeah, definitely need to be addressed.

If you and anyone else running Linux have more details, like logs, or video/screenshots of stuff happening, then we can get all over that. It's hard to debug stuff we can't reproduce, after all

When I pull, generate new projects and compile the development branch in VS2015, I get:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error C1083 Cannot open include file: 'nfd.h': No such file or directory Full DLL d:\gamedev\torque3d-hobby\torque3d - 2\engine\source\platform\nativedialogs\filedialog.cpp 32

As well as:

15>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets(936,5): warning MSB8027: Two or more files with the name of fileDialog.cpp will produce outputs to the same location. This can lead to an incorrect build result. The files involved are ..\..\..\..\..\Engine\source\platform\nativeDialogs\fileDialog.cpp, ..\..\..\..\..\Engine\source\platformWin32\nativeDialogs\fileDialog.cpp.

How'd you generate the project? Sounds like it didn't filter the files correctly, there.

As usual, copy template to projects folder and run the generateProjects.bat I'll try and see if I can track it down later today

The old project generator is pretty much dead now, try the build again with CMake @

Just pushed RC2, which has various improvements and fixes. It can be nabbed here.

generateProjects.bat still works fine for me - though I haven't added a vs2013 or vs2015 target yet, the vs2012 target script still does what it's supposed to do. Not sure how it can really break, after all - all it does is walk the source folder recursively and add files to the project. This results in a project with your specified parameters from the buildfiles/config/project.config file for the project at hand. Nothing really fancy here, so I'd expect it to be pretty durable.

Yeah i know how it works . A lot of stuff has not been updated with it and 3.9 will not compile using it.

Well, to hell with that noise! I'm gonna fix it! 'Cause that's what I do!
