kbutton_t is now in_button_t and has been moved to input.h. Also, a
button registration function has been added to take care of +button and
-button command creation and, eventually, direct binding of "physical"
buttons to logical buttons. "Physical" buttons are those coming in from
the OS (keyboard, mouse, joystick...), logical buttons are what the code
looks at for button state.
Additionally, the button edge detection code has been cleaned up such
that it no longer uses magic numbers, and the conversion to a float is
cleaner. Interestingly, I found that the handling is extremely
frame-rate dependent (eg, +forward will accelerate the player to full
speed much faster at 72fps than it does at 20fps). This may be a factor
in why gamers are frame rate obsessed: other games doing the same thing
would certainly feel different under varying frame rates.
For drivers that support it. Polling is still supported and forces the
select timeout to 0 if any driver requires polling. For now, the default
timeout when all drivers use select is 10ms.
Removing the device from the devices list after closing the device
could cause the device to be double-freed if something went wrong in the
device removal callback resulting in system shutdown which would then
close all open devices.
The device is removed from the list before the callback is called.
There's still a small opportunity for such in a multi-threaded
environment, but that would take device removal occurring at the same
time as the input system is shut down. Probably the responsibility of
the threaded environment rather than inputlib.
I had forgotten that _size was the number of rows in the map, not the
number of objects (1024 objects per row). This fixes the missed device
removal messages. And probably a slew of other bugs I'd yet to encounter
:P
This includes device add and remove events, and axis and buttons for
evdev. Will need to sort out X11 input later, but next is getting qwaq
responding.
The common input code (input outer loop and event handling) has been
moved into libQFinput, and modified to have the concept of input drivers
that are registered by the appropriate system-level code (x11, win,
etc).
As well, my evdev input library code (with hotplug support) has been
added, but is not yet fully functional. However, the idea is that it
will be available on all systems that support evdev (Linux, and from
what I've read, FreeBSD).
At the low level, only unions can cause a set to grow. Of course, things
get interesting at the higher level when infinite (inverted) sets are
mixed in.
Instead of printing every representable member of an infinite set (ie,
up to element 63 in a set that can hold 64 elements), only those
elements up to one after the last non-member are listed. For example,
{...} - {2 3} -> {0 1 4 ...}
This makes reading (and testing!) infinite sets much easier.
Most of the set ops were always endian-agnostic since they were simply
operating on multiple bits in parallel, but individual element
add/remove/test was very endian-dependent. For the most part, this
didn't matter, but it does matter very much when loading external data
into a set or writing the data out (eg, for PVS).
For now, the functions check for a null hunk pointer and use the global
hunk (initialized via Memory_Init) if necessary. However, Hunk_Init is
available (and used by Memory_Init) to create a hunk from any arbitrary
memory block. So long as that block is 64-byte aligned, allocations
within the hunk will remain 64-byte aligned.
The output fat-pvs data is the *difference* between the base pvs and fat
pvs. This currently makes for about 64kB savings for marcher.bsp, and
about 233MB savings for ad_tears.bsp (or about 50% (470.7MB->237.1MB)).
I expect using utf-8 encoding for the run lengths to make for even
bigger savings (the second output fat-pvs leaf of marcher.bsp is all 0s,
or 6 bytes in the file, which would reduce to 3 bytes using utf-8).
The fact that numleafs did not include leaf 0 actually caused in many
places due to never being sure whether to add 1. Hopefully this fixes
some of the confusion. (and that comment in sv_init didn't last long :P)
After seeing set_size and thinking it redundant (thought it returned the
capacity of the set until I checked), I realized set_count would be a
much better name (set_count (node->successors) in qfcc does make much
more sense).
Modern maps can have many more leafs (eg, ad_tears has 98983 leafs).
Using set_t makes dynamic leaf counts easy to support and the code much
easier to read (though set_is_member and the iterators are a little
slower). The main thing to watch out for is the novis set and the set
returned by Mod_LeafPVS never shrink, and may have excess elements (ie,
indicate that nonexistent leafs are visible).
Having set_expand exposed is useful for loading data into a set.
However, it turns out there was a bug in its size calculation in that
when the requested set size was a multiple of SET_BITS (and greater than
the current set size), the new set size one be SET_BITS larger than
requested. There's now some tests for this :)
Quake just looked wrong without the view model. I can't say I like the
way the depth range is hacked, but it was necessary because the view
model needs to be processed along with the rest of the alias models
(didn't feel like adding more command buffers, which I imagine would be
expensive with the pipeline switching).
The recent changes to key handling broke using escape to get out of the
console (escape would toggle between console and menu). Thus take care
of the menu (escape) part of the coupling FIXME by implementing a
callback for the escape key (and removing key_togglemenu) and sorting
out the escape key handling in console. Seems to work nicely
This sorts out the unwanted use of R_EnqueueEntity, which will help with
removing another global (r_ent_queue), which is necessary for threaded
multi-pass rendering (ie, shadows).
Since vulkan supports 32-bit indexes, there's no need for the
shenanigans the EGL-based glsl renderer had to go through to render bsp
models (maps often had quite a bit more than 65536 vertices), though the
reduced GPU memory requirements of 16-bit indices does have its
advantages.
Any sun (a directional light) is in the outside node, which due to not
having its own PVS data is visible to all nodes, but that's a tad
excessive. However, any leaf node with sky surfaces will potentially see
any suns, and leaf nodes with no sky surfaces will see the sun only if
they can see a leaf that does have sky surfaces. This can be quite
expensive to calculate (already known to be moderately expensive for
just the camera leaf node (singular!) when checking for in-map lights)
Getting close to understanding (again) how it all works. I only just
barely understood when I got vulkan's renderer running, but I really
need to understand for when I modify things for shadows. The main thing
hurdle was tinst, but that was dealt with in the previous commit, and
now it's just sorting out the mess of elechains and elementss.
Its sole purpose was to pass the newly allocated instsurf when chaining
an instance model (ammo box, etc) surface, but using expresion
statements removes the need for such shenanigans, and even makes
msurface_t that little bit smaller (though a separate array would be
much better for cache coherence).
More importantly, the relevant code is actually easier to understand: I
spent way too long working out what tinst was for and why it was never
cleared.
This reduces the overhead needed to manage the memory blocks as the
blocks are guaranteed to be page-aligned. Also, the superblock is now
alllocated from within one of the memory blocks it manages. While this
does slightly reduce the available cachelines within the first block (by
one or two depending on 32 vs 64 bit pointers), it removes the need for
an extra memory allocation (probably via malloc) for the superblock.
