#NEVERWINTER CODES DECEMBER 2015 MAC#

Game: Fixed savegames causing creatures in areas re-triggering the OnAreaEnter event.Curated Content UI: Added support for promotion panels to show links to the Vault, Wikis, etc.Toolset: Added support for custom caster classes.

#NEVERWINTER CODES DECEMBER 2015 MAC#

Mac only: Steam SDK/Workshop not supported on M1 (no native M1 build for the binary).Mac only: GOG Galaxy SDK no longer supported on РµСљвЂ 4 and arm64 (no native M1 build for the library).If you are on M1 and on Steam, you will have to launch the game directly, NOT via Steam, for the binary to run natively. Mac: Provided universal binary with a build for Apple M1.This is off by default, and can be enabled in server settings. Added a setting that allows players to control their non-PC party members in the same way as DMs do (drag, ctrl+click, etc).PLT textures can now be phenotype-specific.Added VM commands to query the game resource manager.Added device property queries to get player screen width height and scale.Added more GUI events, some suppressible, when the player interacts.Fixed low quality render mode darkening water too much.This solves certain issues caused by skinmeshed bodyparts being dynamically attached and removed. Fixed skinmesh bone hierarchy to initial model layout.Fixed some static parts being removed after having been auto-combined, resulting in erroneous shadows for some static geometry.Fixed object view culling not respecting visual transforms, resulting in objects sometimes not appearing if transformed into view.Fixed rendering unlit models with envmap (chargen colour picker shader issue Halaster model issue).Prints an overview of the amount of memory currently used for vertex data (model geometry) to the client log. Added a new console command РІР‚ВprintvertexdataРІР‚в„ў.Fixed automatic tile texture rotation (`rotatetexture 1`) causing normal and displacement maps to malfunction.Fixed soft particles reading the screen depth at an offset position, resulting in occasional halos appearing around objects.Removed some redundant GPU data buffer uploads.Tweaked the subsurface light algorithm and made the normal debug outputs also apply for water.Optimized the size of the baked font textures to minimize texture memory footprint.Made the game automatically downsize textures larger than the client GPU supports (instead of just failing to render).Fixed an issue with the scene manager that made geometry culling less effective.Fixed an issue that made shadows fade out too quickly at low view angles.Improves performance in GPU limited situations. Optimized generation of shadow volumes to better fit the size of the shadow plane used for rendering shadows.The options are accessible through the normal debug panel (ctrl+shift+f12). This includes rendering mesh bounding boxes, pivots (centers), emitter and light ranges, as well as shadow volumes. Added new debug outputs that help content artists to debug models from within the game.Fixed dynamic shadow rendering performance dropping significantly on certain devices due to the new streaming setup.Added some minor refinements that help reduce the visual oddities caused by shadows being projected by erroneous models.Removed the РІР‚Сљexperimental optimized shadow renderingРІР‚Сњ toggle.The game now adjusts shadow alpha based on the vertical distance between the shadow plane used for drawing projections and the projection source.This fixes shadows not being applied to geometry below the z position of the tile. The game now uses tiledata bounding box to determine lower clip of shadow volumes.This (beyond improving performance) alleviates issues with shadows sometimes being cut off in odd places (and similar). Fixed a number of other shadow rendering issues by doing view frustrum clipping in the vertex shaders.Shadow and beam volumes now use their own unique shaders.The old approach can be restored with using 'shadowfliporder 1' in the console. It does not fix every issue, however, and in rare cases, some issues may become more apparent - but all in all, the benefits should outweigh the drawbacks. Fixed some common shadow rendering issues related to 'behind' stencil tests.Reduced buffer transfers related to rendering shadows (perf+).Greatly reduced the amount of CPU time spent on rendering shadows (50-90% less) by moving more work to the shaders and just doing things more intelligently.Many improvements have been made to the rendering and shadows engine:
