mac os x port

ATI X800 XT it may of course be that the low performace is due to some remaining issues with the port....i had a quick look with an profiler but couldn't find anything obvious.

If you check out the code in SVN HEAD, there are now some different texture settings. Try playing with medium size textures, and see if this is much better.

but this only changes the value in my local config file, and not in the config file that is delivered/packaged...?

Well, defaultdatadir changes it wherever you tell it to change it - so giving it a path of ./data will change the config file ./data/settings/VDrift.config to have data_dir = ./data instead of /usr/share/games/vdrift/. Now, if you made a package after compiling with -DDATA_DIR=./data and then running vdrift -defaultdatadir ./data, it will have the ./data is the data path in both the compiled executable and in the default config file. Now, if someone installs it after all this, VDrift will see that they have no ~/.vdrift/ and create it, then copy the file ./data/settings/VDrift.config (and other stuff) to ~/.vdrift/. So, whenever they run it their path will be correct (as long as they run it out of the directory where ./data is...)Running vdrift -defaultdatadir is the same in this case as manually editing data/settings/VDrift.config and changing the line data_dir = ... to data_dir = ./data.Does that make any sense? :wink:
