Irritating HeightfieldTesselator...

General Discussion

Hey,

I’m using the HeightfieldTesselator.
Is there any way to prevent this message from popping up every frame:

Terrain mesh is x triangles.

It’s pretty annoying… :confused:

I’m afraid there is no way to suppress this message. If you can re-compile Panda3D just comment the line in file “…/panda/src/grutil/heightfieldTesselator.cxx”.

      generate_square(root,scale,x*size,y*size,true);
    }
  }

  ...

  return root;
}

Thanks, enn0x.
Maybe something for the next version of Panda3D, an option to turn that message off?
