This has several benifits:
o The silly issue with alias model pitches being backwards is kept out
of the renderer (it's a quakec thing: entites do their pitch
backwards, but originally, only alias models were rotated. Hipnotic
did brush entity rotations in the correct direction).
o Angle to frame vector conversions are done only when the entity's
angles vector changes, rather than every frame. This avoids a lot of
unnecessary trig function calls.
o Once transformed, an entity's frame vectors are always available.
However, the vectors are left handed rather than right handed (ie,
forward/left/up instead of forward/right/up): just a matter of
watching the sign. This avoids even more trig calls (flag models in
qw).
o This paves the way for merging brush entity surface rendering with the
world model surface rendering (the actual goal of this patch).
o This also paves the way for using quaternions to represent entity
orientation, as that would be a protocol change.
It turns out that due to the way we do fullbrights, nothing special needs
to be done to get the fullbright texture blended with the model even when
fog is enabled.
I got rather tired of there being multiple definitions of mostly compatible
plane types (and I need a common type anyway). dplane_t still exists for
now because I want to be careful when messing with the actual bsp format.
Move the texture coordinates in 1/4 of a pixel. To avoid unnecessary
calculations, pre-caclulate the character cell texture coordinates and
blast them into the the texture coordinate array.
r_skyname now acts as the default sky to use when no sky name is specified
by other means ("none" is still no sky). 'loadsky foo' will load the
"foo*" sky textures, 'loadsky none' gives the default sky, and 'loadsky
""' causes uses r_skyname.
When R_AddEfrags is used (as is the case in nq), this function is
redundant. Brush models in qw are currently broken (invisible), but that's
just a matter of getting qw to use R_AddEfrags instead of R_NewEntity.
This removal should speed up the software renderers a little bit.
Most of the guts of configure.ac have been moved to config.d and are then
brought in by m4_include. This will make maintaining configure.ac much easier.
Also drop use of PROGRAM and VERSION, using PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_VERSION, and
on occasion, PACKAGE_STRING instead, and clean out some old files we no longer
need.
