Good and bad news:

I didn't expect this till after January with how things were shaping up, so all this actually happening, means we should probably buy the server, and then just jack around until the mods get caught up, at which time I can do all the crud over again. /facepam

 

Update notes:

 

It feels like we’ve been working on this for a year now, with more than half a million lines of code changed over 1,104 commits we’ve been working extremely hard on this update.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

WOW

 

How is your performance?

 

It's actually a very pleasant experience :o

 

I'm not lagging, even whilst flying around in creative. I get the occasional bit of lag but hey, I well expect that at this stage.

I'll post some SS of the new setting GUI now.

The super secret settings add different, random shaders each time you click them, if you want to go back to normal, hit F4 :)

 

Are they any good? I have never played with shaders before
