Terrain Paging integrated?

[Bananenfreak]

Heyho,

is TerrainPaging integrated or not?
A selfmade terrainpaging is not so good, because it takes ~1-3sec to free unnecessary Terrains and create the needed ones.
I´ve found nothing in the documentation about it...

Unfortunately not. We can render large terrain, but there's no support for paging it. I believe this is a limitation of Ogre which is supposed to be addressed in Ogre 1.9.

Oh, I forgot the link: http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/tiki-ind ... ain+System

Terrainpaging is integrated since OGRE 1.7 and we´re using 1.8, right?

So Admin, please move this Thread to our Wishlist
With Terrainpaging, we can create bigger worlds without any freezes...

After reading through the thread and wiki of the last year's terrain paging project, I think it is in a status of:

-Unstable, especially when cross-platform, e.g. http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic. ... 75#p437557
-Tough bugs, e.g. viewtopic.php?f=13&t=63796&start=75#p446856
-Lack of documents, very lack, if I havn't missed something

Hmm, but this was posted about 2 years ago... I think they worked on it since there.

Comtois, you have quoted the start of a "Google Summer Of Code"-Project,
what means it is a very high chance to have it greatly improved. It seems,
that the project is successful finished.

And it is integreated into OGRE 1.9 ...

Many Terrain improvements.See GSoC 2012 Terrain Improvements

So, just when 1.9 is finished

btw. this one will be in 1.9, too:

... but till the 1.9 comes out, time goes by

Thank you PMV that you have looked for it.

That would be a cool Feature for a future Version
