The depth limits in the gl and glsl renderers and in the trace code really
bothered me, but then the fix hit me: at load-time, recurse the trees
normally and record the depth in the appropriate place. The node stacks can
then be allocated as necessary (I chose to add a paranoia buffer of 2, but
I expect the maximum depth will rarely be used).
It turns out the expected orientation of the sky cube is exactly that of
Blender's default cube looked at from the front view (num-1) and the front
face being the nearest face. This put's Marcher's sun nicely in the view
when exiting the cave.
Rearrange the sky_suffix and sky_coords arrays and remove the sky_target
array such that the faces can be loaded using
GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_X + i (apparently certain drivers break if
the faces aren't loaded in the correct order).
Also, the nomalization of the direction vector in the fragment isn't
necessary.
This reverts commit e170f4ee75.
It turns out I messed up something in the patch. I noticed the problem
while playing digs04.bsp: many sub-model surfaces, particularly those with
animated textures, were not being transformed correctly. As this patch did
not make a large performance difference, it's probably better to just
revert it. I might revisit it later.
Since the backtile is loaded into a scrap and used as a subtexture, we
can't use GL's texture wrapping, thus do the wrapping ourselves. There are
some minor issues with the wrong part of the scrap being drawn: need to
investigate where the bug is (vrect, make_quad, etc).
It turns out glsl, sw and sw32 weren't getting any benefit from R_CullBox
because the frustum wasn't setup :P. Get another 8% out of bigass1
(174->184fps). bigass1 now runs 2x as fast as it did before I started this
optimisation run :)
This severely reduces the calles to BindTexture, and more importantly,
glUseProgram, EnableVertexAttribArray etc. The biggest changes are:
o icons and text are all in the one giant texture
o icons and text are mixed in the one queue
This gave ~9% speedup for bigass1 (159->174fps).
Though the bsp loader doesn't yet support colored lighting, the ambient
light will be colored when it does. With this, I guess iqm model support is
done for glsl until I figure out how I want to do dual quaternion support.
There's still a problem with his finger tips and feet, but the rest of his
limbs seem to be working well. Much thanks to Spike for encouraging me to
do a dump of the matices that are actually sent to the card.
It turns out that animated joints remain relative right up to the last
moment.
This avoids sending invalid pose data to the renderer. The symptom was a
vertex array offset higher than the vertex array size. Discovered by calim
of nouveau while he was debugging a driver problem found by QF. Many
thanks.
While checking the shaders to see if there might be anything obvious to
work around the current nouveau shader issues, I found a 1 that should have
been a 1.0. I'm surprised it ever compiled.
It doesn't seem to have any useful effect in QF (even before the plugin
project) other than setting the number of frames to update. I'm not sure if
it's a useless variable or one where the user is supposed to match it to
the system configuration. Anyway, with this, the glsl plugin now works.
This allows the vid module to load the render module and access render
specific functions before the renderer initializes, which happens to need
an initialized vid module...
The renderer now gets initialized and things sort of work (qw-client will
idle, though nothing is displayed). However, as the viddef stuff is broken,
it segs on trying to run the overkill demo.
Where possible, symbols have been made static, prefixed with glsl_/GLSL_ or
moved into the code shared by all renderers. This will make doing plugins
easier but done now for link testing. The moving was done via the gl
commit.

QF will now load a single image with (${skyname}_map.*) using blender's
layout. That is, 3x2 with the top row being back, right, front and the
bottom row being bottom, top, left.
Most subsystems that depend on other subsystems now call the init functions
themselves. This makes for much cleaner client initialization (more work
needs to be done for the server).
I'd actually done this the first time, but then got confused and forgot the
waterchain works with multiple textures. This is actually the right place
as all transparent surfaces need to be sorted irrespective to their
textures. Really, waterchain needs to be renamed.
If the map got reloaded but the current leaf didn't change the world (and
most entities) didn't get drawn. Forcing a vis update by first setting
r_viewleaf to null and marking surfaces does the trick :)
The renderer should now be free of any direct access to client code. Even
3d rendering is now done via a function pointer.
The cshift code is done as a 2d screen function.
