This takes care of the double free and also cleans up a lot of the skin
api. However, the gl renderer lost top/bottom colors (for now). Vulkan
skins still don't work yet.
punchangle wasn't getting decayed for two reasons: I had forgotten to
set the flag in qw, and the decayed value was not getting written to
viewstate.
Also, the rotation was misapplied (I had the two quaternions swapped) so
punchangle was being applied to world Y instead of local Y, thus the
seemingly random rolls.
Some of them were actual leaks, but tracking memory should be a lot
easier now. However, there's a lot of room for optimization of
allocations (eg, recylcling of hierarchies. There is now 1 active
allocation (according to tracy) when nq exits: Qgetline's string buffer
(I think an api change is in order).
The main goal of this change was to make it easier to tell when a
hierarchy has been deleted, but as a side benefit, it got rid of the use
of PR_RESMAP. Also, it's easy to track the number of hierarchies.
Unfortunately, it showed how brittle the component side of the ECS is
(scene and canvas registries assumed their components were the first (no
long the case), thus the sweeping changes).
Centerprint doesn't work (but it hasn't for a while).
This relies on my fork of tracy: https://github.com/taniwha/tracy
on the wip-c-vulkan branch. Everything is still rather flaky though.
This necessitated the jump to vulkan 1.2 as a requirement.
Tracy is a frame profiler: https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy
This uses Tracy's C API to instrument the code (already added in several
places). It turns out there is something very weird with the fence
behavior between the staging buffers and render commands as the
inter-frame delay occurs in a very strangle place (in the draw code's
packet acquisition rather than the fence waiter that's there for that
purpose). I suspect some tangled dependencies.
I guess I wasn't sure how to find all the allocated entities from within
the registry, but it turned out to be trivial. This takes care of leaked
static entities (and, in a later commit, leaked light entities, which is
how I found the problem).
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).
While the libraries are probably getting a little out of hand, the
separation into its own directory is probably a good thing as an ECS
should not be tied to scenes. This should make the ECS more generally
useful.
This puts the hierarchy (transform) reference, animation, visibility,
renderer, active, and old_origin data in separate components. There are
a few bugs (crashes on grenade explosions in gl/glsl/vulkan, immediately
in sw, reasons known, missing brush models in vulkan).
While quake doesn't really need an ECS, the direction I want to take QF
does, and it does seem to have improved memory bandwidth a little
(uncertain). However, there's a lot more work to go (especially fixing
the above bugs), but this seems to be a good start.
This is an extremely extensive patch as it hits every cvar, and every
usage of the cvars. Cvars no longer store the value they control,
instead, they use a cexpr value object to reference the value and
specify the value's type (currently, a null type is used for strings).
Non-string cvars are passed through cexpr, allowing expressions in the
cvars' settings. Also, cvars have returned to an enhanced version of the
original (id quake) registration scheme.
As a minor benefit, relevant code having direct access to the
cvar-controlled variables is probably a slight optimization as it
removed a pointer dereference, and the variables can be located for data
locality.
The static cvar descriptors are made private as an additional safety
layer, though there's nothing stopping external modification via
Cvar_FindVar (which is needed for adding listeners).
While not used yet (partly due to working out the design), cvars can
have a validation function.
Registering a cvar allows a primary listener (and its data) to be
specified: it will always be called first when the cvar is modified. The
combination of proper listeners and direct access to the controlled
variable greatly simplifies the more complex cvar interactions as much
less null checking is required, and there's no need for one cvar's
callback to call another's.
nq-x11 is known to work at least well enough for the demos. More testing
will come.
Still work with gcc, of course, and I still need to fix them properly,
but now they're actually slightly easier to find as they all have vec_t
and FIXME on the same line.
I meant to do this a while ago but forgot about it. Things are a bit of
a mess in that the renderer knows too much about entities, but
eventually the renderer will know about only things to render (meshes,
particles, etc).
I think the widespread use of recalc_refdef (and force_fullscreen) was
the result of a rushed merge of the renderer and video code (I do seem
to remember sprinkling them around). This cleans the two out of the
client code.
While there's currently only the one still, this will allow the entities
to be multiply queued for multi-pass rendering (eg, shadows). As the
avoidance of putting an entity in the same queue more than once relies
on the entity id, all entities now come from the scene (which is stored
in cl_world in the client code for nq and qw), thus the extensive
changes in the clients.
They no longer spin like crazy. I don't know how, but I must have broken
something over the years as I'm sure Seth had the code working (and I
seem to remember seeing it working). In the process, clean up a lot of
the angle mess.
The more advanced modes are rather broken (continuous spinning), but
they may have been for a while. The bulk of the various changes were due
to renaming viewstate's origin and angles to make their meaning more
explicit.
They've been near-identical for years, now they're only one. It proved
necessary to start merging the HUD code which for now is just a few cvar
declarations (not even init), but that should be a separate set of
commits.
