There were lots of places in the code that called Sys_GrabInput(),
some of them each frame.
Most of this is unified in events.cpp now, in handleMouseGrab() which
is called once per frame by Sys_GenerateEvents() - this makes reasoning
about when the mouse is grabbed and when not a lot easier.
Sys_GrabInput(false) still is called in a few places, before operations
that tend to take long (like loading a map or vid_restart), but
(hopefully) not regularly anymore.
The other big change is that the game now uses SDLs absolute mouse mode
for fullscreen menus (except the PDA which is an ugly hack), so the
ingame cursor is at the same position as the system cursor, which
especially helps when debugging with `in_nograb 1` and should also help
if someone wants to integrate an additional GUI toolkit like Dear ImGui.
WIN_DESKTOP means that this can currently only be set for the top-level
window in a .gui (all its subwindows/widgets will be scaled implicitly)
There are two ways to make a GUI use this:
1. in the .gui add a window variable "scaleto43 1", like
windowDef Desktop {
rect 0 ,0 ,640 ,480
nocursor 1
float talk 0
scaleto43 1
// .. etc rest of windowDef
2. When creating the GUI from C++ code, you can afterwards make the
UserInterface scale to 4:3 like this:
idUserInterface* ui = Whatever(); // create it
ui->SetStateBool("scaleto43", true);
ui->StateChanged(gameLocal.time);
Both lines are important!
As you can see in my changes to Player.cpp, my primary usecase for this
is the cursor/crosshair GUI.
So stuff doesn't look so distorted in widescreen resolutions.
Implies that there are black bars on the left/right then..
Can be disabled with "r_scaleMenusTo43 0"
Does *not* affect the HUD (incl. crosshair) - scaling it automagically
would be very hard (or impossible), because it doesn't only render
the crosshair, healthpoints etc, but also fullscreen effects like the
screen turning red when the player is hit - and fullscreen effects
would look very shitty if they didn't cover the whole screen but had
"empty" bars on left/right.
(Mostly) fixes#188 and #189
Don't include the lazy precompiled.h everywhere, only what's
required for the compilation unit.
platform.h needs to be included instead to provide all essential
defines and types.
All includes use the relative path to the neo or the game
specific root.
Move all idlib related includes from idlib/Lib.h to precompiled.h.
precompiled.h still exists for the MFC stuff in tools/.
Add some missing header guards.
