0.3

[EmiOnGit]

Changelog

Change

• The GrassSpawner was removed in favor of the WarblersBundle and WarblersExplicitBundle
• The wind_noise_texture field of the GrassConfiguration resource was moved to the GrassNoiseTexture resource
• The density_map and height_map modules were combined to the maps module
• Dithering uses a new matrix which changes the positions of your grass blades slightly if you used a density map before

Added

• A editor was implemented
  This makes it possible to modify your maps directly in the game and save them after
  The editor can only be used with the new editor feature (you can take a look at the editor example)
• A WarblerDiagnosticsPlugin has been added which logs the amount of grass bladed rendered every frame
  This is used in the many_chunks exampe if you'd like to see how to use it
• The height of the blades can now be sampled using a texture with the WarblersHeight::Texture component
• A density parameter can now also be specified with the DensityMap to directly influence the dithering
• The default wind direction was changed from (1,0) to (1,1)

Fix

Many bugs have been fixed; to many to count all of them

• Warbler_grass only uses the dependencies it needs!
• Grass chunks are updated now also updated if the height of the blades changed
• The frustum culling of chunks now works properly with big chunks
• A grass chunk is now set invisible if the parent is also invisible
• We don't crash the program if the density map is removed
• If hot reloading is activated, all maps are monitored
• Wind doesn't get faster over time

I've updated to 0.3 and changed my spawning code to use the WarblersExplicitBundle, since that seemed like the closest thing to my existing grass generation code. However, now my grass doesn't show up anymore 😱
Code: https://github.com/janhohenheim/foxtrot/pull/228/files#diff-f7cf21045cf163dc0a11d0ebf9b1d7541c14da67855b984f66147b482cbfeed9L48-L66

Looking at the generated positions, they seem valid to me:

Any idea on what I might be doing wrong? Does this have something to do with the grass not being visible from the start and thus somehow not entering a cache?

Interesting, I'll look into that.
What do mean by not visible from the start?
