Frontend/Backend split #2927

Closed ohlidalp closed 1 year ago

ohlidalp commented 2 years ago

Explained at the forums: https://forum.rigsofrods.org/threads/checklist-for-porting-to-different-3d-engine-than-ogre.3510/#post-18007 Presently, it's only split to static library (RoR_Main.lib) and executable (RoR.exe), so everything interoperates just like nothing hapenned and the backend does everything including rendering. This will change...

Build with ROR_USE_CAELUM=OFF Set gfx_shadow_type=No shadows (fastest)

Status:

Sectionconfig is temporarily disabled.
There are visual glitches (placeholder textures on skybox and particles) due to the OGRE upgrade.
But otherwise it seems to run as usual (Windows10, Visual Studio 17 2022)

Closing as this was a flop - but it revealed one important thing: our rendering loop can be easily moved off to it's own thread
