The mouse bound to movement axes works (though signs are all over the
place, so movement direction is a little off), and binding F10 (key 68)
to quit works :)
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.
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).
The renderer's LineGraph now takes a height parameter, and netgraph now
uses cl_* cvars instead of r_* (which never really made sense),
including it's own height cvar (the render graphs still use
r_graphheight).
conwidth and conheight have been moved into vid.conview (probably change
the name at some time), and scr_vrect has been replaced by a view as
well. This makes it much easier to create 2d elements that follow the
screen size (taking advantage of a view's gravity) which will, in the
end, make changing the window size easier.
While this caused some trouble for pr_strings and configurable strftime
(evil hacks abound), it's the result of discovering an ancient (from
maybe as early as 2004, definitely before 2012) bug in qwaq's printing
that somehow got past months of trial-by-fire testing (origin understood
thanks to the warning finding it).
There's still some cleanup to do, but everything seems to be working
nicely: `make -j` works, `make distcheck` passes. There is probably
plenty of bitrot in the package directories (RPM, debian), though.
The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.
Most of the old Makefile.am files are now Makemodule.am. This should
allow for new Makefile.am files that allow local building (to be added
on an as-needed bases). The current remaining Makefile.am files are for
standalone sub-projects.a
The installable bins are currently built in the top-level build
directory. This may change if the clutter gets to be too much.
While this does make a noticeable difference in build times, the main
reason for the switch was to take care of the growing dependency issues:
now it's possible to build tools for code generation (eg, using qfcc and
ruamoko programs for code-gen).
Only as scalars, I still need to think about what to do for vectors and
quaternions due to param size issues. Also, doubles are not yet
guaranteed to be correctly aligned.
Really, when cl_nodelta is in effect (eg, .qwd demo recording and thus
playback). QW now uses the new shared entity state block as I'd intended.
Thanks to the cleanup of ghost entities (ie, entities that have been
removed but continue to be rendered), glsl overkill has gone from 157 to
163 fps :)
td_lastframe needs to be a float in qw. It seems the meaning changed from
nq to qw, but that's rather bogus. I need to look further into juat what's
going on, but at least now timedemo works.
