Polymer Deficiencies

This is a list of problems in the Polymer renderer that need to be fixed. Plagman is master of everything Polymer.

• certain major optimizations remain to be done (the sole issue is lack of time)
• implement new sky support; would solve:
  • limited to one skybox
  • level geometry is displayed through skyboxes when it should not
  • showview command does not work
  • changing skies at runtime
• no voxel support
• doesn't save known good geometry in savegames for use as a fallback when map effects become corrupt, revealing errors that otherwise would be avoided
• not hooked up to TX's Sector Effector-based ROR (which remains useful for retrofitting existing maps)
• polymer does not modify roll when transforming HUD models during changes to rotscrnang (per polymost).
• ATI cards have no shadows with any spotlights.
