Clouds and other particles do not render since Alpha 16

Edit: ticket #2643

I noticed that sometime near Alpha 16 clouds stopped getting rendered, and some other particles. But you can see them briefly when you zoom out a bit in the map editor.

Anybody else run into this?

What happens in the main game?

In the map editor, the framrate is lowered when you're not actively doing stuff on the map. So if you're not zooming or panning, you won't see the particles move a lot (though they should get rendered).

EDIT. Just heard it's apparently a new bug. Particles seem to be only visible when (0,0,0) (that's one of the dark corners of the map), is inside the current view. So indeed if you zoom out enough.

Yep, this looks like exactly what happens. Thanks for looking into it. Solution before Alpha 17?

Oh, and I thought that be the desired behaviour to only show the clouds when above a certain height. :/

No, they "pop" into existence now as if they aren't even rendered.
