I really regret missing this meeting - had planned on it, went early &
got a LM, and then got too busy at RL work to attend.
Further thoughts, after trapesing my way through the source - it
/appears/ as though the cache code already supports reading TGA files
from the cache - am I correct? Does the cache writing code support
writing in TGA? If so, it's just a matter of telling the image fetching
code to write out the decompressed version - although I get the feeling
that this could be done much more gracefully with a larger rewrite.
Alas, I lack the C++ skills for it. Damn LL for not coding in plain C
(*snort).
Right now, I've bumped the limit on my texture cache size (a la the xml
hack posted on another thread), but we're still dealing with the decode
delay. I think that's the thing that really needs to be addressed,
before further discussion about discard algorithms etc.
