MX Simulator

Changes:

• Terrain is now tessellated into 33x33 vertex chunks for vastly improved performance on modern GPUs.
• Added --terrain-wireframe command line option and /toggleterrainwireframe command.
• Background grid in gradient editor now expands to cover all gradient points instead of just being 100 feet tall.
• Fixed front=0 not working in treadmark definitions.

Linux users: https://mxsimulator.com/snapshots/mxbin-2024-03-30-1666

Replace mx.exe or mxbin with one of the above files. The default location for mx.exe should be "C:\Program Files (x86)\MX Simulator". Please note that the ".exe" extension is hidden in Windows so the file will just show as an application named "mx". I'd keep a backup of the originals since these aren't well tested.

Huge performance boost and the gradient background expanding is also really nice. Thank you!

Much love to the king. Thank you for the continued updates!

As always, really appreciate the updates after ~15+ years. The only true mx sim. Hoping by 2030 we have real time shadows.

The goat blesses us again. Thank you Mr. JLV <3

It's just the color used for clearing the color buffer. I can change it if something else would be better.

Sorry I messed my wording up, i meant why does it go black now, i found it better when it was blue.

I can change it to back. Didn't think it mattered for anything but the gradient editor.

Yeah it was a lot better when it was blue. Would it be possible to make a setting where we can switch between black and blue (or other colors)? Also sorry to report but in regards to the bug we were discussing here: viewtopic.php?f=17&p=912051#p912051

I haven't been able replicate the crash but if I do I will send you a tilemap

I'll set it to blue. I don't think making it user settable is worth the bother.
