Hi folks, this is just a very small maintenance patch to address a few stability issues we've seen reported over the past week or so.
Changes:
After continuing to see (admittedly very rare) triangulation failures reported by a few players, we're switching to a new triangulation system which hasn't yet had a single failure reported after a week in our 'test' branch, so.. hopefully this time we've cracked it! (this system is responsible for taking painted shapes and turning them into geometry we can render in the world; monster zones, districts, things like that)
Fixed a new crash bug if you tried to paint a dungeon floor without first selecting the color you wanted to paint it (oops! This one snuck in while I was consolidating all of our painting tools to use a single set of logic instead of having big chunks of duplicated code everywhere)
Improved the performance of entering/leaving the character costume editor screen, so the stutter is now much less bad. (it's still worse than it should be, but I'm saving further improvements for a larger patch with a longer testing period!)
Updated our (very!) old version of GLEW from 1.11 (1.10 on Linux!) to version 2.3.1), which slightly simplifies the game startup process and works better with modern OpenGL drivers, and just is slightly less embarrassingly old now. (version 1.11 was released almost 12 years ago! I feel so old...)
Big thanks to everybody who has reported issues! I'm hoping that this addresses all the critical ones.
We'll talk again soon, once Factions gets to a stage where I'm ready to start showing it off!
