The plan is to do interpolated sprites based on a discussion I had with
LordHavoc about them: blending between the two sprite frames. He didn't
mention it, but it looks like blending between the sprite frames' verts is
necessary too.
Since I'm not specifying the api when creating my context, mesa is giving
me GL2. This is fair enough, but in GL2, vertex attribute 0 is the vertex
position. This too, is fair enough. The problem is, mesa is assigning 0 to
my vcolor attribute and thus I can't set it. The work around is simply to
swap the declaration order of vcolor and vertex (this really shouldn't work
eiter, I suspect).
textbox, crosshair, tileclear, fill and fadescreen are the remaining
functions.
There's a problem with 2d icons being drawn over the text (instead of
under), but I'll leave that for later.
Add GLSL directory to QF and use it for all gsls based code (instead of
GL). defines.h, types.h and funcs.h are derived from gl2.h from khronos.
Text drawing now uses triangles instead of quads.
This means that nq-glslx can get through demo1, demo2, demo3 and bigass1
without crashing. However, nothing is rendered, so unless you like black,
it's not very interesting.
The links are now in "instance surfaces". For non-instanced models (world,
doors, plats etc (ie, world and its sub-models)), there will be one
instance surface per model surface. However, for instanced models (ammo
boxes etc), there will be many, dynamically allocated (not yet
implemented). This commit gets the static instance surfaces working.
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.
