"Sets" for plugins
Posted: 18 May 2018, 02:53
I think it will be cool if we can have multiple sets of plugin texture spaces, which are handled by different texture spaces. When loading a city, the player will be given an option if what plugin set he likes to use, and only one set can be used at the same time.
In this way we can *technically* have infinite plugins.
For those of you who doesn't know what I mean its like this:
For example, you have City A which is a futuristic city powered by futuristic plugins while you have City B, which is a medieval city powered by medieval plugins. Obviously, when the player is playing on City A, he doesn't need the plugins of City B and vise versa.
The problem is that the current plugin system has only one texture space for everything. So if this is implemented, the player will be able to use more plugins, simply because the unneeded plugins doesn't exist in the same set of texture space.
