Interesting. I get performance problems with a lot less (and partly even simpler) models with a different project.
Guess I need to find out what I'm doing wrong...

would be cool if you can make an editor out of that,
and export it in the correct format.

Then people can create custom levels in the editor.
(like for an arena / adventure or such)

set(ENTITY,UNLIT | NOFILTER);
ENTITY.emask &= ~DYNAMIC;
When your block-models have more than 1 skin, f.i. the grass-dirt-block, they render way slower than models with only 1 skin. Combine both textures, grass and dirt, into one (bigger) texture, this will increase your fps remarkably.

@Firoball:
It might simply be our computers serving as difference, as I am not optimising that much a the moment.
My computer's not exactly 'high-end', But it's still pretty modern
(core i5, HD 5770s)
What type of system are you running?

@Damocles_:
Yeah that's what I was originally planning on, but to get to that stage
the performance problems need to be fixed completely .

@Superku:


Okay thanks for those flags, I'll be using them .
All the models only use one texture already
But the linear-interpolation on them makes them look horrible,
wish there was a way to disable it.. I tried setting d3d_mipmapping to point.

EDIT: God I think I need to grow a brain sometime Haha
You just told me how to fix that!

That's what's NOFILTER is for.

BTW nice project (if you make it an editor).

I just figured that right before I saw your post Haha...

Thanks anyways

Dont just make blocks invisible, better is to remove them / add them.
I guess that invisible blocks still drain CPU power,
especially in these large amounts.

For the normal landscape overview cou could remove any block wich
has either no sky above it, or not a side to an
area the has a sky above it.
