In Response To: Making taller landscapes (Forrest of B.org)

: Can I simply make taller landscape textures and adjust the vert_exp or
: ogl_asprat_exp value or something in my MML to compensate? If so, how tall
: should I make the textures and what values do I need to put in the MML
: there to completely fill the new field of view? (And is there some absurd
: maximum I could preemptively enlarge them to in case the field of view
: increases again in the future?)
I don't understand landscape rendering well myself. I remember trying to make landscapes square before and seeing weird things happen. Just a little shorter than square worked fine. But, that was a long time ago, so maybe it's fixed now.
There is definitely an absurd maximum: imagine playing Eternal on a display in portrait mode. I don't think it's worth trying to make that work right though. If you support 4:3 on the low end (or 5:4 but it's rare) and 16:9 on the high end, I think that's reasonable. OpenGL (Classic) and OpenGL (Shader) both render a little differently so try it in both.
