P-152: Virtual World Concept Update 138: Planet-sized Terrain: Part 17: Collision

I have fixed the collision issue that I was having with the terrain. This seems to have been a pre-existing bug that I never noticed before.

It took some time to track down, since some of the collision faces were working.

I used gnuplot to visualise the collision list and the render list, and they both seemed to be correct:

But when I plotted both the collision nodes and the renderable nodes on the same graph, I noticed that as the below images shows, the collision list’s nodes (in green) only contained some of the nodes that they should have.

I was then able to get the collision working. For now, I am adding all nodes to the collision list, however when I implement the changes to the Level of Detail system, I will need to cull out most of the rendered nodes.
