Metrics documentation?

by J. Donavan Stanley · in Torque Game Engine · 04/01/2003 (3:37 am) · 6 replies

Is there a reference available for the various metrics available from metrics.cs? I've not been able to turn up a decent reference in my searches.

Was there a particular metric you had a question on? If you look in metrics.cs, each metrics callback function has fairly well-named variables that it echoes. The one exception is metrics(video):

T_ - terrain
I_ - interior
TS_ - mesh
?_ - not one of the above

_T - triangle count
_P - primitive count (tristrip/trifan, etc)

Tried a few of these and I get either 0 or nothing for most of the values. This happens even in debug mode. What gives?

This resource contains a fix for this problem. Only steps 5 & 11 need to be performed to get the metrics working. GATHER_METRICS has been changed to TORQUE_GATHER_METRICS. www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=2565
