Development Log

What's new:

• Performance analyzer for UnigineScript (in GProf style).
• Refactored grass (significantly improved performance, support of different shapes, more adjustable parameters).
• Improved render precision for distant areas.
• Postprocesses don't affect wireframe visualization now.
• Performance optimization of LightWorld.
• Recursive preprocessing of namespaces in UnigineScript, no more forward declarations.
• Warnings on wrong arguments for functions with arbitrary number of arguments in UnigineScript.
• Added billboard flag in ObjectGui.
• Support of OGA and OGV file extensions for audio and video files in OGG format.

To see the performance analyzer output, type "world_analyze" (world script) or "system_analyze" (system script) or "editor_analyze" (editor script) in the console:

If you want to dump this output into a file, pass its name as an argument: "world_analyze logfile". The perfomance analyzer works only with debug builds. The following counters are available:

• total seconds (this is the total number of seconds the interpreter spent executing this function)
• self seconds (this is the number of seconds accounted for by this function alone, without internal calls of other functions)
• calls (this is the total number of times the function was called)
• total ms/call (this represents the average number of milliseconds spent in this function and its descendants per call)
• self ms/call (this represents the average number of milliseconds spent in this function per call)

Updated grass can be seen in "Forest" demo, which is included into the Unigine SDK:

PS: There is also a component-based game framework almost ready, it will be soon delivered to our customers.

PPS: We have updated our public demos, Tropics 1.2 and Sanctuary 2.2 can be downloaded from our website.

PPPS: We are hiring talented people in Tomsk, Russia.
