Loading is broken for multi-file image sets due to the way images are
loaded (this needs some thought for making it effecient), but the
Blender environment map loading works.
Lighting doesn't actually do lights yet, but it's producing pixels.
Translucent seems to be working (2d draw uses it), and compose seems to
be working.
After getting lights even vaguely working for alias models, I realized
that it just wasn't going to be feasible to do nice lighting with
forward rendering. This gets the bulk of the work done for deferred
rendering, but still need to sort out the shaders before any real
testing can be done.
Never really wanted in the first place (back when I did the plugin
renderers), but I didn't feel like doing the required work to avoid it
at the time. At least with Vulkan being a fresh start in an environment
that's already plugin-friendly, there was no real work involved. I'll
get to the other renderers eventually (especially now that I know gdb
does the right thing when there are multiple functions with the same
name).
It turns out I had conflated frame buffers with frames and wound up
making a minor mess when separating the number of frames the renderer
could have in flight from the number of swap-chain images. This is the
first step towards correcting that mistake.
This cleans up texture_t and possibly even improves locality of
reference when running through texture chains (not profiled, and not
actually the goal).
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.
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.
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.
