Release Version 1.19.8
Dated 04 January 2009
Performed Optimizations to lines on map loads to speed up map rendering. Minor bug fixes in Depth Filtering.
Moved line filtering for Depth Filters based off variable settings.
Minor tweaks to dynamic alpha line filtering. Fixed inverted z-axis on one of the map line points for SOE maps.
Moved mapping to use scale and translate transforms. After the transforms and optimizations, map rendering is on the order of 6 times faster. The maps optimized and converted to SEQ .map format using the mapconvert.vbs (included) will provide the best performance. With new optimizations, the converted maps render up to 3 times faster. On my cheap old test computer (2.6 Ghz P4 laptop) the mapfiend Katta Castrum map would render in about 250 milliseconds. This is one of the biggest maps. With converting to SEQ .map format with mapconvert vbs, this map would render in 100 milliseconds (prior to transforms and optimization changes). With the new optimizations the mapfiend map in the native SOE format renders in 40 milliseconds. The optimized SEQ .map rendered in 32 milliseconds. The optimizations take a significant hit when depth filtering is turned on, but performance is still improved. There will be a few second delay before the Katta Castrum mapfiend map displays due to the optimizations. Only for the biggest maps is there any noticeable difference in the map loading times.
Updated all con levels through level 44.
Added Internet Search Option that is clickable from the Spawn List. The default option is to search Allakhazam’s for the mob name. There is a setting for this in the options, and it will use a formatted string. The default is set to "http://everquest.allakhazam.com/search.html?q={0}". The mob name will be entered where the "{0}" is located in the format string. If you change it to search differently, then don’t forget to put in the {0}.The Client / Server Installer:
