Stop animations when game paused #111

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When game is paused, some things still animate:
 - grass, trees
 - water

Suggested solution:

- Do NOT use setNamedAutoConstant("time", ACT_TIME)
- every frame, use setNamedConstantFromTime("time", 1), but only if game isn't 
paused

I think it's cool that they do, maybe we shouldn't stop it. You can actually 
see wind when paused, when driving it's not easy.

I think I agree with CryHam. Only reason I can see for disabling it would be to 
conserve resources in order to make menu more fluid should the user have 
cranked the settings too high, but I don't think the wind is that demanding. 
Also, the suggested solution wouldn't even help at this as it would still 
calculate everything in the shaders, just with constant time.

So, I'm closing, it's not an issue, it's undesired feature.
