Update Experimental branch - Graphics/Game Updates This version is a very much work in progress before going to default branch. Mini Map - Size changed to larger, More view area. Mini Map - Icons now accurate to type of object and colour to represent friend/foe. New Swap Zone - Allow to choose new plane. Available on Wake island/developer map. Rendering changes - Low lands clouds use a different rendering technique to volumetric which is faster and more artistic. Should affect all maps. Memory optimisation stopped silly fragmenting of memory (same buffer rebuilt multiple times per render) - should assist weaker GPUs and less memory. Custom Rendering options - internal engine change to allow more dynamic UI Volumetric cloud changes - WIP (seeing a little bit of banding in clouds). In progress: Changes to Tulagi and other maps to incorporate dynamic plane swapping.
