This cleans up texture_t and possibly even improves locality of
reference when running through texture chains (not profiled, and not
actually the goal).
It optionally generates mipmaps, and supports the main texture types
(especially for texture packs), including palettes, but is otherwise
rather unsophisticated code. Needs a lot of work, but testing first.
This is more correct as the environment (X11 etc) might provide more
swapchain images than we want: 3 frames in flight is generally
considered a good balance between saturating the hardware and latency.
Cleans up global space and makes it usable in multiple contexts. Also,
max quads dropped to 32k as each frame now has its own vertex buffer to
avoid issues with vertex overwrites (which I have seen). However, all
vertex buffers are in the one memory/buffer object (using offsets) and
the index buffer has been moved into a device-local memory object.
I think I did two as a bit of a ring buffer, but the new ring buffer
system used inside a staging buffer makes it less necessary. Also, the
staging buffer is now a fair bit bigger (4M is probably not really
enough)
This allows the array in which the command buffers are allocated to be
allocated on the stack using alloca and thus remove the need to
malloc/free of relatively small chunks.
The console background is missing, and scaled vs unscaled (currently
always scaled) 2d, but otherwise everything seems to work. Lots of
places to clean up, though.
Draw now has its own staging buffer to use with its scrap. Also, a few
fixes were needed for the staging buffer and scrap flush routines.
Other than some synchronization issues with draw scrap flushing
(currently worked around with a fence-wait) things seem to be working
nicely.
The scrap texture did very good things for the glsl renderer and the
better control over data copying might help it do even better things for
vulkan, especially with lots of little icons.
It's never actually used (the texture can be fetched using
GLSL_ScrapTexture) and gets in the way of sharing the scrap system with
the vulkan renderer.
r_screen because of SCR_UpdateScreen, and r_cvar because the cvars
really should never have been in a plugin in the first place (and
r_screen needed access).
First pixels! This was a nightmare of little issues that the validation
layers couldn't help with: incorrect input assembly, incorrect vertex
attribute specs. Though the layers did help with getting the queues
working. Still, lots of work to go but this is a major breakthrough as
I now have access to visual debugging for textures and the like.
Short wrappers for Draw functins are in vid_render_vulkan.c so the
vulkan context can be passed on to the actual functions. The 2D shaders
are set up similar to those in glsl, but with full 32-bit color (rgba)
support instead of paletted. However, the textures are not loaded yet,
nor is anything bound.
This necessitated hand-writing qfv_swapchain_t's descriptors as I don't
feel like getting that complicated with vkgen at this stage and it's not
really appropriate anyway? qfv_swapchain_t is meant to be read-only and
not parsed from a plist.
The prototypes for handle parsers needed to be changes because it turned
out "single" was inappropriate for handles as "single" allocates memory
for the parsed object, but handles must be written directly.
The way I wound up using the field meant that exprctx should not "own"
the hashlinks chain, but rather just point to it. This fixes the nasty
access errors I had.
Dependencies on vkparse.hinc were spreading through the code which I
didn't want as that removes a lot of the automation from the automake
files. This keeps all parser code internal to vkparse.c's scope, and any
accesses required for enum and struct (not yet) definitions can be
fetched by name.
Array and single type overrides now allow the parsing of the items
themselves to be customized. This makes it easy to handle arrays and
pointers to single items while also using custom specifications, rather
than relying entirely on the custom override.
QC's int type is named "integer" (didn't feel like changing that right
now), so special case it to be "int".
Output the parse func name (instead of "fix me").
Output a parse func for enums (needed for arrays of enums
(VkDynamicState)).
The static variable meant that Fog_GetColor was not thread-safe (though
multiple calls in the one thread look to be ok for now). However, this
change takes it one step closer to being more generally usable.
Patch found in an old stash.
I had missed the array declaration and thus initialized the pointer to
the offset array incorrectly. Didn't show up until I tried using
multiple offsets.
Shaders can be built as spv files and installed into
$libdir/quakeforge/shaders or as spvc files and compiled into the
engine. Loading supports $builtin/name to access builtin shaders,
$shader/path to access external standard shaders and quake filesystem
access for all other paths.
I had forgotten that msaa samples was governed by the driver (as a max)
and the renderpass setup code simply took the max. Thus why 1 vs 8
caused the display to render incorrectly.
It turned out the msaa setting defaulting to 1 instead of 8 was the
problem no idea why at this stage (need to read up on just how that
setting works). Once I understand just how it works, I'll rework the
msaa handling.
This gets renderpass parsing almost working (not hooked up, though). The
missing bits are support for expressions for flags (namely support for
the | operator) and references (eg $swapchain.format). However, this
shows that the basic concept for the parser is working.
Nothing is actually done yet other than parsing the built-in property
list to property list items (the actual parser is just a skeleton), but
everything compiles
The property list specifies the base structures for which parser code
will be generated (along with any structures and enums upon which those
structures depend). It also defines option specialized parsers for
better control.
It worked as a proof of concept, but as the code itself needs to be a
bit smarter, it would be a lot smarter to break up that code to make it
easier to work on the individual parts.
The tables are generated from the enums pulled out of the vulkan headers
using a ruamoko program (thanks to its reflection capabilities). They
will be used for parsing property lists used to create render passes and
pipelines.
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).
They take a pointer to a free-list used for hashlinks so the hashlink
pools can be per-thread. However, hash tables that are not updated are
always thread-safe, so this affects only updates. progs_t has been set
up such that it is easy for multiple progs within one thread can share
hashlinks.
It turned out I needed access to the physical device from a buffer
object, so rather than storing the vulkan logical device directly in
buffer (and other) objects, store the qfv logical device.
It's just a wrapper around hashtab, but it makes checking if a string is
in a set easy. Way overkill when only a few extensions are enabled, but
more might come later.
This paves the way for clean initialization of the Vulkan renderer, and
very much cleans up the older renderer initialization code as gl and sw
are no longer intertwined.
This fixes the segfault and pushes things very much in the desired
direction of proper system independence for rendering and presentation
separation (though things were headed in the right direction before).
Things are still a mess, but a proper cleanup will be a lot of work and
will, really, involve properly splitting quake-specific code* out from
the rest of the renderer.
* data loading and format specific stuff
A single graphics-capable queue should be enough for now. However, I'm
not sure I'm happy with a lot of the code: it's a bit difficult to write
flexibly configured code for Vulkan (or seems to be at this stage),
especially in C.
After messing with SIMD stuff for a little, I think I now understand why
the industry went with xyzw instead of the mathematical wxyz. Anyway, this
will make for less pain in the future (assuming I got everything).
I'm not certain despair actually meant for the break to be there. It
certainly would have sped up the game a bit but at the expense of proper
blood trails in the software renderers.
These are the ones where I could easily make scan-build happy. They do seem
to be potential holes where invalid data in one place could result in use
of uninitialized values.
While scan-build wasn't what I was looking for, it has proven useful
anyway: many of the sizeof errors were just noise, but a few were actual
bugs (allocating too much or too little memory).
It seems mesa still has the bug where non-array attributes don't work
when set as attribute 0, and that the allocation order changed sometime
since I last tested with mesa. This fixes the black world and flickering
alias models on my eeepc.
So far, alias model rendering is the only victim, but things are working,
even if only color map lookup and fog blending are broken out at this
stage.
I expect the effect naming scheme will go through some changes until I'm
happy with it.
Again, based on The OpenGL Shader Wrangler. The wrangling part is not used
yet, but the shader compiler has been modified to take the built up shader.
Just to keep things compiling, a wrapper has been temporarily created.
I'd missed a set of bit->lightnum conversions that resulting in lightnum
becoming much greater than 128 and thus trashing memory when the surface
was marked.
The seed is currently 0xdeadbeef, but I intend on fixing that soon. Now the
particle velocities and origins use fully independent bits (though a big
chunk is wasted right now).
This is a quick fix until I get a random number generator into QF.
Mingw's RAND_MAX is only 0x7fff and so the (((rnd >> 10) & 63) - 31.5) / 63.0
used for the z component of origin and velocity would never go positive.
For now, change the 10 to 9 (reusing another bit from Y). I plan on
implementing a full 32-bit PRNG in QF so we always have a reliable
generator.
This fixes the status bar refresh issues in sw. The problem was that with
two viddef's hanging around, things got a little confused and recalc_refdef
wasn't getting into the renderer.
