Roadmap

Plasma Roadmap

General Cleanup

• Fix warnings from Coverity code analysis.

• Deprecate all of pnUtils/pnUtStr by replacing uses with ST::string or standard C library string functions.

• Continued conversion of std::string, std::wstring, char*, and wchar* to ST::string when used in Plasma classes.

  • pfConsole
  • pfGameGUI
  • Logging throughout the engine

Cross-Platform (#5)

• In Progress: @Hoikas > Update PhysX 2.6 dependency to PhysX 4.1 (see also #4 and #578)

• Validate the target_link_libraries for all of the Plasma sub-projects. #383

• Fix errors and warnings for the following compilers:

  • Windows:
    • MSVC (32)
    • clang (32)
  • macOS:
    • Xcode clang (32)
  • Linux:
    • g++ (32)
    • clang (32)

64-bit (#34)

• In Progress: @Hoikas > Update PhysX 2.6 dependency to PhysX 4.1 (see also #4 and #578)

• Track down and fix 32-bit assumptions throughout the codebase.

• Fix errors and warnings for the following compilers:

  • Windows:
    • MSVC (32, 64)
    • clang (32, 64)
  • macOS:
    • Xcode clang (32, 64)
  • Linux:
    • g++ (32, 64)
    • clang (32, 64)

Wish List

• Replace any EAX code with OpenAL EFX. #8, and talk to @Deledrius

• Improve rendering efficiency (avatar skinning and shadows are factors here)

• Improve object cloning performance (avoid hitting the disk for each avatar that loads)

• Restore the ability to run a single-player offline version for Age testing

• Replace Ogg Vorbis with Opus for audio files.
