Alright, I just took this picture in v8. I doubt the rendering code has changed since then but I don't know for sure. I have to use v8 to do this because GLEnableOutline was removed from later versions of Blockland. As you can see the skis use triangles, the bricks use quads. Red lines are blocks, blue lines are the skis, gray lines are the bedroom floor. |

It also breaks all the text in the game. I'm also pretty sure it's still possible to cheat and look through walls just by asking the server where people are, since I'm pretty sure it will tell you. I believe it was actually removed in v9 because invisible bricks use wireframe rendering, so the code was re-purposed to do that. I don't really know though, he also removed the metrics and fps commands at the same time. |
