I think I had though it using a constructor init was ok, but it turns
out that was problematic. That, or I missed it in my recent audit. Fixes
a sys syserror during shutdown.
This fixes another segfault on shutdown (not sure just which recent
change caused it, but the listener pointer needed clearing) but while
fixing the listener issue, I noticed that binding and imt shutdown were
in the wrong order with respect to buttons and axes.
It turns out that initializing them via constructors led to their
shutdowns happening too late which resulted in problems with button and
axis cleanup.
I never liked it, but with C2x coming out, it's best to handle bools
properly. I haven't gone through all the uses of int as bool (I'll leave
that for fixing when I encounter them), but this gets QF working with
both c2x (really, gnu2x because of raw strings).
This fixes the annoying persistence of inputs when respawning and
changing levels. Axis input clearing is hooked up but does nothing as of
yet. Active device input clearing has always been hooked up, but also
does nothing in the evdev and x11 drivers.
And create rua_game to coordinate other game builtins.
Menus are broken for key handling, but have been since the input rewrite
anyway. rua_input adds the ability to create buttons and axes (but not
destroy them). More work needs to be done to flesh things out, though.
An imt switcher automatically changes the context's active imt based on
a user specified list of binary inputs. The inputs may be either buttons
(indicated as +button) or cvars (bare name). For buttons, the
pressed/not pressed state is used, and cvars are interpreted as ints
being 0 or not 0. The order of the inputs determines the bit number of
the input, with the first input being bit 0, second bit 1, third bit 2
etc. A default imt is given so large switchers do not need to be fully
configured (the default imt is written to all states).
A context can have any number of switchers attached. The switchers can
wind up fighting over the active imt, but this seems to be something for
the "user" (eg, configuration system) to sort out rather than the
switcher code enforcing anything.
As a result of the inputs being treated as bits, a switcher with N
inputs will have 2**N states, thus there's a maximum of 16 inputs for
now as 65536 states is a lot of configuration.
Using a switcher, setting up a standard strafe/mouse look configuration
is fairly easy.
imt_create key_game imt_mod
imt_create key_game imt_mod_strafe imt_mod
imt_create key_game imt_mod_freelook
imt_create key_game imt_mod_lookstrafe imt_mod_freelook
imt_switcher_create mouse key_game imt_mod_strafe +strafe lookstrafe +mlook freelook
imt_switcher 0 imt_mod 2 imt_mod 4 imt_mod_freelook 8 imt_mod_freelook 12 imt_mod_freelook
imt_switcher 6 imt_mod_lookstrafe 10 imt_mod_lookstrafe 14 imt_mod_lookstrafe
in_bind imt_mod mouse axis 0 move.yaw
in_bind imt_mod mouse axis 1 move.forward
in_bind imt_mod_strafe mouse axis 0 move.side
in_bind imt_mod_lookstrafe mouse axis 0 move.side
in_bind imt_mod_freelook mouse axis 1 move.pitch
This takes advantage of imt chaining and the default imt for the
switcher (there are 8 states that use imt_mod_strafe).
The switcher name must be unique across all contexts, and every imt used
in a switcher must be in the switcher's context.
The listener is invoked when the axis value changes due to IN_UpdateAxis
or IN_ClampAxis updating the axis. This does mean the listener
invocation make be somewhat delayed. I am a tad uncertain about this
design thus it being a separate commit.
Combining absolute and relative inputs at the binding does not work well
because absolute inputs generally update only when the physical input
updates, so clearing the axis input each frame results in a brief pulse
from the physical input, but relative inputs must be cleared each frame
(where frame here is each time the axis is read) but must accumulate the
relative updates between frames.
Other than the axis mode being incorrect, this seems to work quite
nicely.
This is the first step in the long-sought goal of allowing the window
size to change, but is required for passing on getting window position
and size information (though size is in viddef, it makes sense to pass
both together).
There's now an internal event handler for taking care of device addition
and removal, and a public event handler for dealing with device input
events in various contexts In particular, so the clients can check for
the escape key.
While the console command line is quite good for setting everything up,
the devices being bound do need to be present when the commands are
executed (due to needing extra data provided by the devices). Thus
property lists that store the extra data (button and axis counts, device
names/ids, connection names, etc) seems to be the best solution.
The mouse bound to movement axes works (though signs are all over the
place, so movement direction is a little off), and binding F10 (key 68)
to quit works :)
Each axis binding has its own recipe (meaning the same input axis can be
interpreted differently for each binding)
Recipes are specified with field=value pairs after the axis name.
Valid fields are minzone, maxzone, deadzone, curve and scale, with
deadzone doubling as a balanced/unbalanced flag.
The default recipe has no zones, is balanced, and curve and scale are 1.
Unnecessary enum removed, and the imt block struct moved to imt.c
(doesn't need to be public). Also, remove device name from the imt block
(and thus the parameter to the functions) as it turns out not to be
needed.
in_bind is only partially implemented (waiting on imt), but device
listing, device naming, and input identification are working. The event
handling system made for a fairly clean implementation for input
identification thanks to the focused event handling.
This has smashed the keydest handling for many things, and bindings, but
seems to be a good start with the new input system: the console in
qw-client-x11 is usable (keyboard-only).
The button and axis values have been removed from the knum_t enum as
mouse events are separate from key events, and other button and axis
inputs will be handled separately.
keys.c has been disabled in the build as it is obsolute (thus much of
the breakage).
For the mouse in x11, I'm not sure which is more cooked: deltas or
window-relative coordinates, but I don't imagine that really matters too
much. However, keyboard and mouse events suitable for 2D user interfaces
are sent at the same time as the more game oriented button and axis events.
Input Mapping Tables are still at the core as they are a good concept,
however they include both axis and button mappings, and the size is not
hard-coded, but dependent on the known devices. Not much actually works
yet (nq segfaults when a key is pressed).
