more information about that stuff I guess I could show off again the, I have a video here, or I have a in the video we sort of showcase like how it would work, so so now instead of what how it used to work is you would pick a tile you would pick like three by four and it would load in like that segment but now you can like select like with the mouse like here I want to load this part and it loads that region and it's it's so cool it's it's so useful because if we move here a second I'm going to show you why this is really useful in a bit I think it's not this one what I think is the next one after that, no it is this one okay so if you check here this hill over here hasn't had the cliffs loaded in so like this looks really strange when you just look at it like this, but when I load in that portion of it in a second Boom the cliffs are in so like you can I think I hope this demonstrates this how like granular it is, yeah I used to be an oak tree exactly so super dope super dope, and then I keep going and just keep going load more it's also funny because the world partitioning system also functions like sort of in the engine in a bit so when you're moving around so we can actually load the entire map I don't know if that was really possible before because I think we ran out of space I think we ran out of vram when we did that before, I never did it so I don't know if I maybe it was possible to do it before but like when I'm in engine now I can actually load the entire world at the same time which is pretty cool how easy or hard was this feature to implement that I don't know, it wasn't oh no I don't want to watch him, it wasn't none of the stuff here was was like just push of a button I know that they said in the video just it just works that it did not it still doesn't work it still doesn't just work, not true but, a lot of stuff is sort of, sometimes we made custom engine edits and, if we touch too much of that it's an issue and I believe we had to like make some tools to be able to move the world over to to the current iteration
