I have requested this little addition on GitHub for better access to the docs .. Many users don't even know they are there and as the next update has new documentation this would really help
A simple link from the " help " menu to open the docs folder like the mockup pic below ..

Latest Beta 13-9-19

Perfect no issues, Waypoints working and no glitches either with the drawcalloptimizer on or off
But the icing on the cake is when the drawcalloptimizer is enabled im gaining a 15 to 20 fps

@Preben - All seems good here now, even with the "drawcalloptimizer=1" I am not seeing any glitches on that level at all now.... at draw calls never seem to go above 400, then do for maybe a second or to, then they step down to between 300 - 400, amazing work..... 60fps across the entire level now and no slow down at all when I spin the mouse to rotate the player quickly.

Thanks Preben

@Synchromesh - Been fiddling with GG today but I can't see anything else new, what is this wonderous thing you discovered, I am intrigued indeed.

Performance Update 13/09/19 - Having issues with a static entity, might be present on more entities too, not sure.

If the static entities properties is set to "spawnatstart = no" the object is present and visible when is shouldnt be within test game. Something to do with the way the draw call optimiser works???

The entity in question is "Metal Large Door" in the Valuable Assets 2014 Pack.

Anyone else noticed this at all.

I was under the impression if you set a static entity to not spawn at starthe it would spawn anyway because it's required to be dynamic for it to spawn.

That did enter my head … Pretty sure I wanted static doors to spawn behind me in a level via a trigger and they didn't work for me but that's going back a while … Maybe its always been broken

If you want to interact with entity, it should be dynamic. Static do nothing.

I have the newest version of beta ( 9-13 or 13-9 for those in Europe :SMILE: )

The toggle keys for Global and Free Flight isn't working. When you start out it is in Global but pressing the F key does not put in Free Flight. However, mouse-move will put you in Free Flight as it always had. However, pressing the G key does not toggle back to Global and I don't see a menu item to do that action.

BTW, Preben thanks for all this time you put into coding this. I'm glad I'm not the only one when he updates a software program that bugs seem to creep in. Also, my fps on the map I'm working on would dip to 45 and stay around most of the time. I wasn't really concerned about that, however, it is now a solid 60 fps everywhere on the map and when I do fast mouse-moves.

Did the "F " have a flight mode ?
I thought you used RMB to free flight into an object then you can switch between "F " and "G"
Otherwise where does it know where to zoom in initially ?

You were right you know I found the old map I was working on and back then and I could not make static objects spawn via a trigger zone using the " If Used " … Oh well good news is they do now so that gives me some new ideas

use the name and not the image, if you're missing an icon in your files all icons after that get shifted to the left so they no longer line up with the correct model

Is somebody messing with us? I am signed in as a beta tester for a long time now and there is no beta test that was released 10-09-19? All the most recent files were for 10-05-19 which would be the "10-04-19 tweak"

I agree Flatlander. If I'm not mistaken, it's a miss- communication error
between two (or more) cultures (that strangely enough) may use the
same language, but different choices in date- place holders.

But it can be very confusing. 10-9-19 in the U.S. and 10-9-19 most
other places are very different dates. When dates are posted on
social media or forums, I think it would be courteous to use the month
in at least short- hand form. 10 Sept, 19 vs Sept 10,19
which can not so easily be confused with Oct 9, 19!!!

Sorry for the delay! I was dealing with other issues.
I've searched all the library and only the Scenery folder has this issue. In the entitybank folder, all the files have their correct names, but in the Entity Libray, they're changed. However, when you load them in, its thumbnails show correctly.
Currently, I'm using just the asset names to load it up.

This happens because you have one entity that doesn't have a thumbnail. You just need to find which one it is and give it a 64x64 .bmp with the same name as the .fpe file associated with that entity.

EDIT: It's the church. There's church.fpe file but no model, texture, or thumbnail associated with it. You could just delete the church.fpe file, as it can still be found in entitybank\Buildings
