From f7cd87189574bd0a80b6766a24a013bc8b9fb076 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kelsi Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2026 11:50:18 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add M2 idle animation variations, dedup instances, fix terrain textures - Add idle variation system: creatures randomly play Stand variations (stretch, flap, look around) every 4-10s, then return to idle loop - Deduplicate M2 instances at same position (was hidden before animation made duplicates visible with different random start times) - Adaptive M2 render distance: 350 units in open terrain, 180 in cities - Restore terrain sampler-to-unit uniform bindings lost during texture bind optimization (roads were invisible under grass) - Safety: clamp bone count to 128, validate sequence indices, sanitize scale --- include/rendering/m2_renderer.hpp | 7 ++- src/rendering/m2_renderer.cpp | 101 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 2 files changed, 95 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/rendering/m2_renderer.hpp b/include/rendering/m2_renderer.hpp index 73ae3ecd..2ad91227 100644 --- a/include/rendering/m2_renderer.hpp +++ b/include/rendering/m2_renderer.hpp @@ -56,6 +56,7 @@ struct M2ModelGPU { std::vector bones;
