New glBSP

[Linguica]

Andrew Apted sends word that glBSP v1.91 has been released. For those not In The Know, glBSP is a nodes builder specially designed for OpenGL DOOM ports. This version is a major rewrite from the previous version (1.8). What's new? Well...

• optimised, DOOM2.WAD: 50% faster, ETERNAL.WAD: 3 times faster.
  
• builds "V2 GL Nodes". Use -v1 to get the old format.
  
• no longer balks at bad sidedefs (with sector of #-1).
  
• removes unused sectors & sidedefs.
  
• packs the blockmap, and can merge identical sidedefs.
  
• shows the percentage complete while building.
  
• floatified - nodes are computed using high precision math.
  
• source code is now under the GNU General Public License.

I have never used any of the previous version of this node builder, but does it effect a wad much when you use it with a non GL exe?
Like plain-ol doom2.exe, legacy or zdoom?

I am retarded! Crispified!!!

glbsp.exe is intended for use with the EDGE engine to product the gl noden it uses in -truebsp mode.

You can use it with other games, just use -nogl option when compiling, since I think only EDGE and one other engine uses gl nodes. the regular nodes are quite good as well. I would use glbsp.exe or the good old bsp.exe 2.3 for noden building.

I'm not completely sure, but I think JDooM has support for glbsp too.
