| Summary | 0000527: Objects Wiggle [significantly] on their position. | ||||
| Description | (This is a mantisification of a bug we discussed in the forum) Objects positions wiggle when rendered. Especially happens in Wing Commander Saga missions which seems to indicate is a floating-point accuracy issue. Possibly it's a Z-axis issue from the gluPerspective call, possibly it's a global position issue. Proposed Solutions: make sure the min/max clip planes in gluPerspective are not causing problems [extremely low (less than 1) near clips are known to cause serious problems] All object positions in the mission should be stored in doubles and glTranslated(double, double, double) should be used for positioning the object initialy before going into rendering it's mesh [which can remain as floats] | ||||

I changed from gluPerspective to using glFrustum directly to try and get rid of some of the precision error (among other reasons), didn't help. Tried changing clip planes, helps with some things, but didn't do much for the wiggle. Converted everything to doubles. Besides being an excessive amount of work, it crashes a lot (a LOT), and didn't appear to help the problem much (the little that I could get the game to run that is). If you've got anything else I'm open to it. I've pretty much exhausted all options that I can think of though. |

doubles were unstable? WTF? this bug is a hug problem in missions that use way-points because the large size of the field of engagement makes the bug obvious |
|
|
I've actually seen it in retail missions as well, though it's a lot more subtle, so it's an issue either way. |

it's as subtle as a mac truck in autopilot missions - we could try to zap the coordinate system's zero-point to be relative to the nearest waypoint IE as you approach a waypoint the entire world gets translated to be zero'ed at the waypoints position edited on: 07-25-06 16:45 |

Should be fixered now. Reopen if you still see it. |

Just a note to add that this was fixed in revision 3376. |
