Geez. You've been on the job only a few days and a vacation already? At this rate we're not going to get anywhere

while you've been hacking away i've also actually -played- some pinball (real & virtual) again, instead of tweaking VP code..

This is fantastic.  Thank you for taking this task on!

[JohnnyDoe]

Okay, now its monday, vacations over, now get back in the coal mine and fetch us some diamonds

Just kidding. Sick work so far, looking forward to more updates from you Mukuste.

I am going through withdrawals like a crack fiend. I am anxiously waiting for new progress to be announced. Thanks again for all your efforts Mukuste, Toxie. and Fuzzel.

yes, following all things that are going to improve the VP scene are very addicting.  I too feel like a junky   Bring on the new news

News for the crack fiends! After a lovely long weekend in Vienna, I'm back and already knee deep in VP code again. I'm attacking texture management now, and it's a right mess. I'm converting all the texture handling functions to work on in-memory textures now, and cleaning up the whole structure of VP's texture management while I'm at it.

 

No real progress to show in picture form yet, but have this neat screenshot of Scared Stiff to tide you over:

There we go, basic texture loading and rendering is working now. Plenty to do still, but the hard work is done on this part.

WOW! Does "mukuste" by any chance translate to "alchemist"?

[mukuste]

Okay, those minor niggles have been fixed as well, I'd say we are getting pretty darn close here:
