[Plib-devel] proposal for PLIB 1.3 ssg load hints

[Dave M. <Dav...@dy...>]

Currently, when you load something in SSG there is no
way to control what gets loaded.  Usually, that is
ok, but if you want a small memory footprint and
don't have an easy way to cleanup the models, I
propose adding load hint flags:

enum ssgLoadHintFlags
{
  SSG_LOAD_TEXTURES = (1<<0),  // texture images and coordinates
  SSG_LOAD_VNORMALS = (1<<1),  // vertex normals
  SSG_LOAD_VCOLOURS = (1<<2),  // vertex colours
  SSG_LOAD_ANIMATION = (1<<3), // transform and mesh animation
  SSG_LOAD_EVERYTHING = ((1<<15)-1),
  SSG_LOAD_NOTHING = 0,
} ;

void ssgLoadHint ( int hint_flags ) ;

Of course, this won't happen until PLIB 1.3 but
i just wanted to throw the idea out for comment.
