[Verse-dev] New results about the missing triangles, nodeid reminder

[Thorsten Jordan]

Hi!

This may be interesting for Eskil:
i have adapted and tested my old and my new geometry pusher, so that 
they use nodeids as suggested. Now all models seem complete, no 
triangles are missing. I don't know why i once saw missing triangles 
with the new server code (the patch that Eskil sent me), it works now.

The cause of the difference between missing triangles and complete 
models lies at the patched file (vs_node_geometry.c). The old one causes 
missing triangles, the new seems to fix the bug. Thanks so far!

But i also noticed that when i let the output print to the console 
instead of sending it to a file and load up a large mesh (70.000 faces), 
the server will stop to accept data after a while, the client pushing 
the data hasn't finished the process and is asleep waiting for an answer 
  of the server. The server will react to another client sending another 
mesh, but also stop before the mesh is completely uploaded. The viewer 
receives some data, but shows nothing, which indicates that it only 
receives vertex data, but not indices. I guess that this problem is 
caused by a network buffer overflow or something similar.

Again a question from an older mail that seems to got lost:

Eskil proposed using nodeids -1,-2,-3,... for creating layers.
Let's say i create a lot of layers, the numbers get smaller. When is it 
safe to start again at -1?
