set_bits_t is now 64 bits for x86_64 machines (in linux, anyway). This gave
qfvis a huge speed boost: from ~815s to ~720s.
Also, expose some of the set internals so custom set operators can be
created.
Now we can get tight (<1e-6 * radius_squared error) bounding spheres. More
importantly (for qfvis, anyway) very quickly: 1.7Mspheres/second for a 5
point cloud on my 2.33GHz Core 2 :)
It "works" for lines, triangles and tetrahedrons. For lines and triangles,
it gives the barycentric coordinates of the perpendicular projection of the
point onto to features. Only tetrahedrons are guaranteed to reproduce the
original point.
Rather than prefixing free_ to the supplied name, suffix _freelist to the
supplied name. The biggest advantage of this is it allows the free-list to
be a structure member. It also cleans up the name-space a little.
I'd forgotten that ED_ConvertToPlist mangled light into light_lev and
single component angle values into a vector. This fixes much of the
breakage in qflight (but not the light levels)
Sys_LongTime returns time in microseconds as a 64-bit int. Sys_DoubleTime
uses Sys_LongTime, converts to double and offsets 0 time by 4G (2**32).
This gives us consistent sub-microsecond precision for a very long time.
See http://randomascii.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/dont-store-that-in-a-float/
Once and for all: remove the default and move the Sys_Error outside the
switch (changing appropriate breaks to returns). Now gcc will let me know
when I forget to update the switch statements.
I'd missed a set of bit->lightnum conversions that resulting in lightnum
becoming much greater than 128 and thus trashing memory when the surface
was marked.
This give much better control over individual joystick axes. They now have
per-axis pre and post amplification, the linear controller mappings are
more intuitive, and axes can now bet setup as buttons using thresholds.
Many thanks to Johnny on Flame for his work on the "user interface".
Johnny's number->J_AXISn mapping is preserved, but I had intended for any
key to be supported (J_AXISn was just to ensure free keys were available).
This gives both methods (and some range checking on the axis button
number).
First, this completely smashes joystick input: it will not work (though it
doesn't crash). This is because there is, as of yet, no means to configure
the system.
Each joystick axis has:
- per-axis amplification (both pre and post).
- per-axis offset (offset applied after pre-amp but before post amp)
- selectable destination:
- linear delta: position and angles (as before)
- axis button: if the value crosses the threshold, the given key is
pressed or released as appropriate.
The axis amplification still uses joy_amp and joy_pre_amp (and
in_amp/in_pre_amp), but now also has the per-axis settings.
The per-axis offset is most useful for axis buttons. For example, the xbox
360 controller triggers are analong but go "all the way to negative on 0
state". Offsetting the input keeps axis button thresholds simple.
Amplification and offset is applied before anything is done with the axis
value. The formula is:
joy_amp * in_amp * axis-amp *
(offset + value * joy_pre_amp * in_pre_amp * axis-pre_amp)
Axis button thresholds are very simple: if the sign of the value is the
same as the sign of the threshold and abs(value) >= abs(threshold), the
button is pressed. While multiple thresholds and keys can be placed on an
axis, only one can be pressed at a time. The threshold furthest from 0
wins.
The ~ gets expanded to CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, $HOME, $USERPROFILE or just
".", whichever succeeds first. The usual location will be:
"C:\windows\profiles\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data".
"." is now the fallback for *nix systems too.
The seed is currently 0xdeadbeef, but I intend on fixing that soon. Now the
particle velocities and origins use fully independent bits (though a big
chunk is wasted right now).
This gives QF a consistent qualilty PRNG on all platforms. The
implementation is slightly different from the standard, but gives the same
results for the same speed (details in mersenne.c).
This is a quick fix until I get a random number generator into QF.
Mingw's RAND_MAX is only 0x7fff and so the (((rnd >> 10) & 63) - 31.5) / 63.0
used for the z component of origin and velocity would never go positive.
For now, change the 10 to 9 (reusing another bit from Y). I plan on
implementing a full 32-bit PRNG in QF so we always have a reliable
generator.
