that removeChild(Node*), removeChild(uint) and equivilant Geode methods are
now inline methods, not designed to be overriden, and seperated out the
multiple remove method to be called removeChildren(uint, uint) which is
now the only virtual method. There removeChildren is now the method to
override in subclasses.
This reorganisation requires some call code to be rename removeChild usage
to removeChildren.
here is a patch that enables a new option named "BIND_TEXTURE_MAP" in the LWO plugin. Its purpose is to allow explicit binding between texture UV maps defined in the LWO file and OpenGL texture units, overriding the default mechanism that allocates texture units automatically. This is useful when you have an UV map built in Lightwave (for example an atlas map) but no textures actually using it, so you can keep the UV map (that would be discarded otherwise) and add a texture later int your program.
Syntax is:
BIND_TEXTURE_MAP <map_name> <texunit>
for each Lighwave surface, in order to keep surface names (geometries can't
have names). The attached fix adds a plugin option named "COMBINE_GEODES"
that allows to place all geometries under a single Geode whenever possible,
thus offering better chances of further optimization through
osgUtil::Optimizer. The downside is that surface names are no longer stored
in the scene graph when using this option."
