Render Player....

#1 Simply disable it in the regular rendering. Problem is that the player etc won't appear in refractions and reflections then as well which will look kind of wrong to the player.

#2 You can make the player invisible using startfade() in TGEA .... and voala

#3 @Marc...Is it in one of the rendering managers? If so, do you know which rendering manager is it in? In TGE it is pritty easy. There is ALLOT of code that was left in TGEA that does not even do anything. Like in shapebase.cpp.

void ShapeBase::renderObject( SceneState *state, RenderInst *ri )

I put a printf in that section and it never was called.

@Picasso...I'll give that a try also.

I have used TGE since 2003 and just recently started trying to port my stuff over to TGEA. I have already ran into ALLOT of shadow problems, especially shadows on tsStatics using polysoup, so far I have that figured out and it works pritty good except that if you remove the terrain from the mission it shows multiple shadows in a row. When I get it working correctly I'll let everyone know what I did to make it work.

Thanks guys for your response.

#4 Actually most of that code did quite a bit until the Release where GG sudenly kicked the old rendering in favor of a batching system ...

Porting TGE to TGEA is definitely no easy task ... will guarantee that you will run in further issues ...

#5 I already have ran into allot of unused code. I have been methodically going through the code a section at a time. I have even found code/features that work that I did not know even existed. I'll just keep plugging along until I get it figured out.

Thanks!
