[RELEASE] "Better" Procedural Water 3.3.5a

<< < (19/31) > >>

stoneharry:
Staying on 3.3.5a is just stupid. WoD is a entirely different game now and much better for it.

Keep 3.3.5a as it's own seperate game, you can backport some interface code and models, but you are hacking away and barely getting any of the same functionality.

Play 3.3.5a or WoD, don't force the two together.

I assume you're speaking from a technical point of view? In your opinion, what are some of the more notable improvements present in WoD compared to WotLK?

From a technical view - tons has changed and improved. Client and server side scripts that integrate very well, for gameplay rather than just interface code. Improved movement and combat system (creatures spread out, movement is smoother). The client side graphics engine has been reworked quite a bit. Streaming of data is now fully integrated and supported. Those are the main big features from what I know, but I have not looked into it that much.

Selaya:
I really dislike the streaming client and I`d rather not consider it a real improvement (it creates a lot of unnecessary overhead), it`s generating a lot of overhead and unless you like to update daily, it isn`t really necessary, tbh.

Then again, you might just update daily if you`re modding.

And isn`t the creature movement something thats strictly serverside?

The streaming client is optional. The client decides if he wants to download it through the launcher or in game.

Also being able to push hotfixes if anything is an extremely powerful feature.
