LeMans needs help

[thelusiv]

There are a couple of issues with the LeMans track that need to be fixed. First and worst, there's a backdrop object that is not set as a backdrop, so it's up in the foreground and there are a few points where it intersects the track...it looks bad and obscures the view. Also, this track has a starting position in a pit lane instead of on the track's starting positions. This would be a good opportunity to set several starting positions for this track.

Any takers?

are you sure you have the latest version. as far as i can tell all the horizon objects are marked as sky:

and so on (these are the last entries in list.txt). i am pretty sure something is wrong with your installation. do an 'svn diff' in vdrift/data/tracks/lemans, see if there are any changes wrt the repository and then compare that directory to what you have installed.

nevermind.... something changed in the display code in vdrift. the horizon was also marked as transparent blended texture. i set that back to 0 and now everything is fine. sorry.

Must have been the changes Joe made to the object code. Looks good now, thanks.

Indeed, i was streamlining the object drawing code and one result is that now it categorizes things by skybox, blend, and everything else. It draws each type of object in succession using the same opengl settings. This slightly improves performance on tracks with a lot of objects, but as a side effect, if an object is in both categories it gets drawn twice.
