Removed Features
While most of the functionalities were kept intact while porting and cleaning up arx fatalis, some features were no longer relevant or made other improvements harder. Some of these features may be re-added in a future version
"Bump Mapping"
Removed in: Arx Libertatis 1.0 (commit b16ef98)
Replacement: Will be replaced by proper bump/normal mapping
Arx Fatalis does not ship with bump maps, but the original game used a grayscale version of the normal diffuse textures and texture combine operators to approximate the effect. While using this technique could yield some interesting results, in most cases it produced a blurred effect. Should be reimplemented as per pixel bump mapping using shaders.
