I must have forgotten about the SYS_DeveloperID_... enum values, when I
wrote that code, because relying on the line number is not really for
the best.
As of a recent nvidia driver update, it became necessary to enable the
feature. I guess older drivers (or vulkan validation layers?) were a bit
slack in their checking (or perhaps I didn't actually get those lighting
changes working at the time despite having committed them).
This did involve changing some field names and a little bit of cleanup,
but I've got a better handle on what's going on (I think I was in one of
those coding trances where I quickly forget how things work).
Just head and tail are atomic, but it seems to work nicely (at least on
intel). I actually had more trouble with gcc (due to accidentally
testing lock-free with the wrong ring buffer... oops, but yup, gcc will
happily optimize your loop to spin really really fast). Also served as a
nice test for C11 threading.
This makes bsp traversal even more re-entrant (needed for shadows).
Everything needed for a "pass" is taken from bsp_pass_t (or indirectly
through bspctx_t (though that too might need some revising)).
Ambient lights are represented by a point at infinity and a zero
direction vector (spherical lights have a non-zero direction vector but
the cone angle is 360 degrees). This fixes what appeared to be mangled
light renderers (it was actually just an ambient light being treated as
a directional light (point at infinity, but non-zero direction vector).
There are some issues with the light renderers getting mangled, and only
the first light is even touched (just begin and end of render pass), but
this gets a lot of the framework into place.
Sounds odd, but it's part of the problem with calling two different
things with essentially the same name. The "high level" render pass in
question may be a compute pass, or a complex series of (Vulkan) render
passes and so won't create a Vulkan render pass for the "high level"
render pass (I do need to come up with a better name for it).
I really don't remember why I made it separate, though it may have been
to do with r_ent_queue. However, putting it together with the rest is
needed for the "render pass" rework.
It now lives in vulkan_renderpass.c and takes most of its parameters
from plist configs (just the name (which is used to find the config),
output spec, and draw function from C). Even the debug colors and names
are taken from the config.
QFV_CreateRenderPass is no longer used, and QFV_CreateFramebuffer hasn't
been used for a long time. The C file is still there for now but is
basically empty.
The real reason for the delay in implementing support for pNext is I
didn't know how to approach it at the time, but with the experience I've
gained using and modifying vkparse, the solution turned out to be fairly
simple. This allows for the use of various extensions (eg, multiview,
which was used for testing, though none of the hookup is in this
commit). No checking is done on the struct type being valid other than
it must be of a chainable type (ie, have its own pNext).
The software renderer uses Bresenham's line slice algorithm as presented
by Michael Abrash in his Graphics Programming Black Book Special Edition
with the serial numbers filed off (as such, more just so *I* can read
the code easily), along with the Chen-Sutherland line clipping
algorithm. The other renderers were more or less trivial in comparison.
Enabled by 'developer lighting'. It was good for confirming that the
lights in ad_e1m1 (Doom Hangar 16) were actually being output (over 600
of them sometimes, ouch). Turned out to be the color scale ambiguity.
The pitch cvars are taken from quakespasm because I ran into a button I
couldn't shoot with the 80 degree limit, but I figured I'd add roll
limits while I was at it.
Surfaces marked with SURF_DRAWALPHA but not SURF_DRAWTURB are put in a
separate queue for the water shader and run with a turb scale of 0.
Also, entities with colormod alpha < 1 are marked to go in the same
queue as SURF_DRAWALPHA surfaces (ie, no SURF_DRAWTURB unless the
model's texture indicated such).
Textures whose names start with a { are meant to be rendered with
transparency. Surfaces using those textures are marked with
SURF_DRAWALPHA.
Unfortunately, the mip levels of ad_tears' transparent textures use the
wrong color so only the highest LOD works properly, but those textures
are meant to be loaded from external files anyway, it seems.
PR_Debug_ValueString prints the value at the given offset using the
provided type to format the string. The formatted string is appended to
the provided dstring.
For whatever reason, building under MXE (for windows) causes FLAC to try
to use dll import references, but setting FLAC__NO_DLL before including
FLAC/export.h fixes the issue.
-describe is sent to the object, and the returned string passed back.
There is a worry about the lifetime of the returned string as there's
currently no way of both ensuring it doesn't get freed prematurely and
ensuring it does eventually get freed.
If no handler has been registered, then the corresponding parameter is
printed as a pointer but with surrounding brackets (eg, [0xfc48]). This
will allow the ruamoko runtime to implement object printing.
Due to the mis-initialization of the union used to parse the color
vector, the intensity was incorrectly set to zero and thus the light
dropped, meaning that all lights in ad_tears were lost.
The extend instruction is for loading narrower data types into wider
data types, eg, single element into 2, 3, or 4 element types, with a
small set of extension schemes: 0, 1, -1, copy (for 1->any and 2 -> 4).
Possibly most importantly, it works with unaligned data.
Progress towards #30
Most were pretty easy and fairly logical, but gib's regex was a bit of a
pain until I figured out the real problem was the conditional
assignments.
However, libs/gamecode/test/test-conv4 fails when optimizing due to gcc
using vcvttps2dq (which is nice, actually) for vector forms, but not the
single equivalent other times. I haven't decided what to do with the
test (I might abandon it as it does seem to be UD).
This gets ambient sounds (in particular, water and sky) working again
for quakeworld after the recent sound changes, and again for nq after I
don't know how long.
Because the calculation didn't take the hunk header size (which is not
included in the hunk size) into account, the conversion to MB was one
short and thus the rounding up to the next 8 MB boundary was giving the
current total hunk size (ie, the already given size). Most confusing to
a user ("But I already asked for 128MB!").
