It turns out that using the swapchain image for the size requirements is
unreliable: when running under renderdoc, vkGetImageMemoryRequirements
sets the memory requirements fields to 0, leading eventually to a null
memory object being passed to vkMapMemory, which does not end well.
I had missed that vkCmdCopyImage requires the source and destination
images to have exactly the same size, and I guess assumed that the
swapchain images would always be the size they said they were, but this
is not the case for tiled-optimal images. However,
vkCmdCopyImageToBuffer does the right thing regardless of the source
image size.
This fixes the skewed screenshots when the window size is not a multiple
of 8 (for me, might differ for others).
There's a problem with screenshot capture in that the image is sheared
after window resize, but the screen view looks good, and vulkan is happy
with the state changes.
As gbuf_base derives from the base pipeline, it inherits base's dynamic
setting, and thus doesn't need its own. I had a FIXME there as I wasn't
sure why I had a redundant setting, but I really can't see why I'd want
it different from any of the other main renderpass pipelines.
I've found and mostly isolated the parts of the code that will be
affected by window resizing, minus pipelines but they use dynamic
viewport and scissor settings and thus shouldn't be affected so long as
the swapchain format doesn't change (how does that happen?)
As of a recent nvidia driver update, it became necessary to enable the
feature. I guess older drivers (or vulkan validation layers?) were a bit
slack in their checking (or perhaps I didn't actually get those lighting
changes working at the time despite having committed them).
This did involve changing some field names and a little bit of cleanup,
but I've got a better handle on what's going on (I think I was in one of
those coding trances where I quickly forget how things work).
This makes bsp traversal even more re-entrant (needed for shadows).
Everything needed for a "pass" is taken from bsp_pass_t (or indirectly
through bspctx_t (though that too might need some revising)).
Ambient lights are represented by a point at infinity and a zero
direction vector (spherical lights have a non-zero direction vector but
the cone angle is 360 degrees). This fixes what appeared to be mangled
light renderers (it was actually just an ambient light being treated as
a directional light (point at infinity, but non-zero direction vector).
There are some issues with the light renderers getting mangled, and only
the first light is even touched (just begin and end of render pass), but
this gets a lot of the framework into place.
Sounds odd, but it's part of the problem with calling two different
things with essentially the same name. The "high level" render pass in
question may be a compute pass, or a complex series of (Vulkan) render
passes and so won't create a Vulkan render pass for the "high level"
render pass (I do need to come up with a better name for it).
I really don't remember why I made it separate, though it may have been
to do with r_ent_queue. However, putting it together with the rest is
needed for the "render pass" rework.
It now lives in vulkan_renderpass.c and takes most of its parameters
from plist configs (just the name (which is used to find the config),
output spec, and draw function from C). Even the debug colors and names
are taken from the config.
QFV_CreateRenderPass is no longer used, and QFV_CreateFramebuffer hasn't
been used for a long time. The C file is still there for now but is
basically empty.
The real reason for the delay in implementing support for pNext is I
didn't know how to approach it at the time, but with the experience I've
gained using and modifying vkparse, the solution turned out to be fairly
simple. This allows for the use of various extensions (eg, multiview,
which was used for testing, though none of the hookup is in this
commit). No checking is done on the struct type being valid other than
it must be of a chainable type (ie, have its own pNext).
The software renderer uses Bresenham's line slice algorithm as presented
by Michael Abrash in his Graphics Programming Black Book Special Edition
with the serial numbers filed off (as such, more just so *I* can read
the code easily), along with the Chen-Sutherland line clipping
algorithm. The other renderers were more or less trivial in comparison.
Enabled by 'developer lighting'. It was good for confirming that the
lights in ad_e1m1 (Doom Hangar 16) were actually being output (over 600
of them sometimes, ouch). Turned out to be the color scale ambiguity.
Surfaces marked with SURF_DRAWALPHA but not SURF_DRAWTURB are put in a
separate queue for the water shader and run with a turb scale of 0.
Also, entities with colormod alpha < 1 are marked to go in the same
queue as SURF_DRAWALPHA surfaces (ie, no SURF_DRAWTURB unless the
model's texture indicated such).
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.
This is intended for the built-in 8x8 bitmap characters and quake's
"conchars", but could potentially be used for any simple (non-composed
characters) mono-spaced font. Currently, the buffers can be created,
destroyed, cleared, scrolled vertically in either direction, and
rendered to the screen in a single blast.
One of the reasons for creating the buffer is to make it so scaling can
be supported in the sw renderer.
While this does pull the grovelling for the subpic out to the callers,
the real problem is the excessive use of qpic_t in the internal code:
qpic_t is really just the image format in wad files, and shouldn't be
used as a generic image handle.
Cleans up more of the icky code in the font drawing functions.
This makes working with quads, implied alpha quads, and lines much
cleaner (and gets rid of the bulk of the "eww" fixme), and will probably
make it easier to support multiple scraps and fonts, and potentially
more flexible ordering between pipelines.
This means that QF should support more exotic fonts without any issue
(once the rest of the text handling system is up to snuff) as HarfBuzz
does all the hard work of handling OpenType, Graphite, etc text shaping,
including kerning (when enabled).
Also, font loading now loads all the glyphs into the atlas (preload is
gone).
It is currently an ugly hack for dealing with the separate quad queue,
and the pipeline handling code needs a lot of cleanup, but it works
quite well, though I do plan on moving to HarfBuzz for text shaping. One
nice development is I got updating of descriptor sets working (just need
to ensure the set is no longer in use by the command queue, which the
multiple frames in flight makes easy).
It's implemented only in the Vulkan renderer, partly because there's a
lot of experimenting going on with it, but the glyphs do get transferred
to the GPU (checked in render doc). No rendering is done yet: still
thinking about whether to do a quick-and-dirty test, or to add HarfBuzz
immediately, and the design surrounding that.
R8G8B8A8 was hard-coded by accident when creating Vulkan_LoadTexArray
(or probably even the original Vulkan_LoadTex). This wasn't a problem
while everything was loaded in that format, but attempting to load an R8
texture didn't go so well. The same format as the image itself is used
now (correctly so).
I have recently learned that pre-multiplied alpha is the correct way to
do compositing, which is pretty much what the 2d pass does (actually,
all passes, but...). This required ensuring the color factor passed to
the fragment shader is pre-multiplied (a little silly for cshifts as
they used to be pre-multiplied but were un-pre-multiplied early in QF's
history and I don't feel like fixing that right now as it affects all
renderers), and also pre-multiplying alpha when converting from 8-bit
palette to rgba as the palette entry for transparent has that funky pink
(which is used in full-brights).
The software renderer uses Bresenham's line slice algorithm as presented
by Michael Abrash in his Graphics Programming Black Book Special Edition
with the serial numbers filed off (as such, more just so *I* can read
the code easily), along with the Chen-Sutherland line clipping
algorithm. The other renderers were more or less trivial in comparison.
Most were pretty easy and fairly logical, but gib's regex was a bit of a
pain until I figured out the real problem was the conditional
assignments.
However, libs/gamecode/test/test-conv4 fails when optimizing due to gcc
using vcvttps2dq (which is nice, actually) for vector forms, but not the
single equivalent other times. I haven't decided what to do with the
test (I might abandon it as it does seem to be UD).
The texture animation data is compacted into a small struct for each
texture, resulting in much less data access when animating the texture.
More importantly, no looping over the list of frames. I plan on
migrating this to at least the other hardware renderers.
I found a test map with no texture data. Even after fixing the bsp
loader, vulkan didn't like it. Now vulkan is happy. The "Missing" text
is full-bright magenta on a dim grey background so it should be visible
in any lighting conditions.
Conflagrant Rodent has a sub-model with 0 faces (double bit error?)
causing simply counting faces to get out of sync with actual model
starts thus breaking *all* brush models that come after it (including
other maps). Thus be a little less lazy in figuring out model start
faces.
The models are broken up into N sub-(sub-)models, one for each texture,
but all faces using the same texture are drawn as an instance, making
for both reduced draw calls and reduced index buffer use (and thus,
hopefully, reduced bandwidth). While texture animations are broken, this
does mark a significant milestone towards implementing shadows as it
should now be possible to use multiple threads (with multiple index and
entid buffers) to render the depth buffers for all the lights.
This allows the use of an entity id to index into the entity data and
fetch the transform and colormod data in the vertex shader, thus making
instanced rendering possible. Non-world brush entities are still not
rendered, but the world entity is using both the entity data buffer and
entid buffer.
