GL Quake was weird, culling front faces. Partly understandable, since
Quake's front order is clockwise and GL's default order is
counter-clockwise. However, since the order can be specified, that should
be done instead. Thus, specify the winding order as clockwise (for quake's
data), set culling for back-face removal, and then mess with the winding
direction in the mirror and fish-eye code.
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.
My changes:
Emit normals if truform is enabled.
Attempt to avoid 0,0,0 normals (makes lighting & tesselation unhappy).
Fix some (ancient) apparent bugs in GetAliasFrameVerts16().
Clamp minlight, instead of adding it.
Apply colormod as glColor, rather than adding it to emission, to prevent QSG2
issues with fullbrights.
Rearrange init code, and don't go quite as wild with responsiveness to lights.
Material & lightmode settings will need tweaking & testing to work well on all
cards. Feedback needed there.
The major change is that we no longer require libGL to even exist on the
system at compile time for the GL targets, we dynamicly link to the
libGL of choice at run time. (This probably breaks most non-linux
systems, and all GL targets except -glx, some fixup will be needed.)
(This also kills glquake, dead dead DEAD! GONE FOREVER! WHEE!)
Some gl_draw cleanup.
Commented out equake alias model occlusion test stuff, very experimental.
Added the .lo and .la patterns to the .gitignore files.
Some minor sbar cleanup. (We don't use the disc in use symbol for
anything.)
