con_linewidt starts out as 0, which leads to bad results for the initial
widths of input lines and later calculations. However, really, they
probably shouldn't be using size_t for the width, but this is a nice
quick fix.
The intent is to use them for menus, tooltips and anything else along
those lines, but windows was a good starting point (and puts a border
along the top of the window too).
By default, horizontal and vertical layouts expand to fill their parent
in their on-axis direction (horizontally for horizontal layouts), but
fit to their child views in their off-axis.
Flexible space views take advantage of auto-expansion, pushing sibling
views such that the grandparent view is filled on the parent view's
on-axis, and the parent view is filled by the space in the parent view's
off-axis. Flexible views currently have a background fill, allowing them
to provide background filling of the overall view with minimal overdraw
(ancestor views don't need to have any fill at all).
It does almost nothing (just puts a non-function button on the screen),
but it will help develop the IMUI code and, of course, come to help with
debugging in general.
It's usually desirable to hide the cursor when playing quake, but when
using the console, or in various other states, being able to see the
cursor can be quite important.
I never liked it, but with C2x coming out, it's best to handle bools
properly. I haven't gone through all the uses of int as bool (I'll leave
that for fixing when I encounter them), but this gets QF working with
both c2x (really, gnu2x because of raw strings).
The hierarchy leak was particularly troublesome to fix, but now the
hierarchies get updated (and freed) automatically just by removing the
hierarchy reference component from the entity. I suspect there will be
issues with entities that are on multiple hierarchies, but I'll sort
that out later.
It should have been this way all along, and it seems I thought they were
when I did rua_gui.c as it already freed its resource block, which would
have been a double free (oops). Fixes an invalid write when shutting
down progs in qwaq-cmd (relevant change not committed).
This will make it easy for client code to set up data needed by the
console before the console initializes. It already separates console
cvar setup and initialization, which has generally been a good thing.
The pic is scaled to fill the specified rect (then clipped to the
screen (effectively)). Done just for the console background for now, but
it will be used for slice-pics as well.
Not implemented for vulkan yet as I'm still thinking about the
descriptor management needed for the instanced rendering.
Making the conback rendering conditional gave an approximately 3% speed
boost to glsl with the GL stub (~12200fps to ~12550fps), for either
conback render method.
The wording might seem a little odd, but cl_screen is really the full 2D
client HUD while the console is completely independent of the client and
shouldn't know that the client even exists. Ideally, the resize events
would be handled by the canvas system, to which end this is a small
step.
Instead of creating new entities for the text views. This approximately
halves the number of entities required to display flowed text, but also
tests the ability to have an entity in multiple hierarchies (the goal of
the ECS component and system changes).
While this does require an extra call after registering components, it
allows for multiple component sets (ie, sub-systems) to be registered
before the component pools are created. The base id for the registered
component set is returned so it can be passed to the subsystem as
needed.
This means that the component id used for hierarchy references must be
passed to Hierarchy_New and Hierarchy_Copy, but does all an entity to
have more than one hierarchy, which is useful for canvases (hierarchies
of views) in the 3d world (the canvas root would have a 3d hierarchy
reference and a 2d (view) hierarchy reference).
Currently only for gl/glsl/vulkan. However, rather than futzing with
con_width and con_height (and trying to guess good values), con_scale
(currently an integer) gives consistent pixel scaling regardless of
window size.
Much of the nq/qw HUD system is quite broken, but the basic status bar
seems to be working nicely. As is the console (both client and server).
Possibly the biggest benefit is separating the rendering of HUD elements
from the updating of them, and much less traversing of invisible views
whose only purpose is to control the positioning of the visible views.
The view flow tests are currently disabled until I adapt the flow code
to ECS.
There seems to be a problem with view resizing in that some gravities
don't follow resizing correctly.
Due to the changes related to console views, the console was either
fully visible or not at all visible, so it took several seconds to
disappear whenever closed.
Taking the screen data from the event fixes the console size being out
due to screen_view updating after the app_window event fires. Really,
this makes it independent of the order.
Due to design issues in the console API that I don't feel like
addressing at this stage, the console view is not a child of the
client's screen view (not even sure it should be in the first place), so
it won't get resized automatically when the client's screen view
resizes. However, ie_app_window is sent when the screen size changes,
and the console has to process input events anyway, so it's quite
reasonable to handle the event.
This breaks console scaling for now (con_width and con_height are gone),
but is a major step towards window resize support as console stuff
should never have been in viddef_t in the first place.
The client screen init code now sets up a screen view (actually the
renderer's scr_view) that is passed to the client console so it can know
the size of the screen. The same view is used by the status bar code.
Also, the ram/cache/paused icon drawing is moved into the client screen
update code. A bit of duplication, but I do plan on merging that
eventually.
Things seem to be at least close to the right place now.
Input line handling has been made more object-oriented in that the
collection of objects required for a single input line (command, say,
say_team) are bundled into one object with just one set of handlers for
resize and draw. Much tidier.
This replaces old_console_t with con_buffer_t for managing scrollback,
and draw_charbuffer_t for actual character drawing, reducing the number
of calls into the renderer. There are numerous issues with placement and
sizing, but the basics are working nicely.
