API Question Dynamically changing a UV map

[Hlynkacg]

Like the title says, I've read treferences to changing a mesh's UV coordinates as an alternative to blitting but haven't been able to find or examples of how this is actually done.

Does it work?

Is it easier (from a system resource stand point) than blitting?

How do I do it?

Using oapiMeshGroup() and then modifying the returned MESHGROUP pointer should do the trick. I recommend using the DEVMESHHANDLE instead of the MESHHANDLE, in order to maintain compatibility with external client.

I am pretty sure that it is more efficient than blitting, but this is just speculation based on my previous work with Direct3D.

In order to improve the performances further more, you can use the DYNAMIC flag in your mesh, as explained by Martin in this thread: http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=19531&highlight=dynamic+flag

Now there's some really helpful information. Guess I should have read that .msh documentation after all.
