By default. Conversion of quake strings needs to be requested (which is
done by nq and qw clients and servers, as well as qfprogs via an
option). I got tired of seeing mangled source code in the disassembly.
This gets only some very basics working:
* Algebra (multi-vector) types: eg @algebra(float(3,0,1)).
* Algebra scopes (using either the above or @algebra(TYPE_NAME) where
the above was used in a typedef.
* Basis blades (eg, e12) done via procedural symbols that evaluate to
suitable constants based on the basis group for the blade.
* Addition and subtraction of multi-vectors (only partially tested).
* Assignment of sub-algebra multi-vectors to full-algebra multi-vectors
(missing elements zeroed).
There's still much work to be done, but I thought it time to get
something into git.
I realized recently that I had made a huge mistake making Ruamoko's
based addressing use unsigned offsets as it makes stack-relative
addressing more awkward when it comes to runtime-determined stack frames
(eg, using alloca). This does put a bit of an extra limit on directly
addressable globals, but that's what the based addressing is meant to
help with anyway.
This seems excessive, but gmsp3v2 map has 1399 lights. Worse, it has a
lot of different light sizes that go up by small increments (generally
around 10) resulting in 33 shadow map images (1 too many). Quantizing
the sizes to 32 drops this nicely to 20, and reduces memory consumption
slightly too (image buffer overhead, I guess).
This covers only the rendering of the shadow maps (actual use still
needs to be implemented). Working with orthographic projection matrices
is surprisingly difficult, partly because creating one includes the
translations needed to get the scene into the view (and depth range),
which means care needs to be taken with the view (camera) matrix in
order to avoid double-translating depending on just how the orthographic
matrix is set up (if it's set up to focus on the origin, then the camera
matrix will need translation, otherwise the camera matrix needs to avoid
translation).
Updating directional light CSM matrices made me realize I needed to be
able to send the contents of a packet to multiple locations in a buffer
(I may need to extend it to multiple buffers). Seems to work, but I have
only the one directional light with which to test.
This improves the projection API in that near clip is a parameter rather
than being taken directly from the cvar, and a far clip (ie, finite far
plane) version is available (necessary for cascaded shadow maps as it's
rather hard to fit a box to an infinite frustum).
Also, the orthographic projection matrix is now reversed as per the
perspective matrix (and the code tidied up a little), and a version that
takes min and max vectors is available.
gcc didn't like a couple of the changes (rightly so: one was actually
incorrect), and the fix for qfcc I didn't think to suggest while working
with Emily.
The general CFLAGS etc fixes mostly required just getting the order of
operations right: check for attributes after setting the warnings flags,
though those needed some care for gcc as it began warning about main
wanting the const attribute.
Fixing the imui link errors required moving the ui functions and setup
to vulkan_lighting.c, which is really the only place they're used.
Fixing a load of issues related to autoconf and some small source-level issues to re-add clang support.
autoconf feature detection probably needs some addressing - partially as -Werror is applied late.
This has resulted in some rather interesting information: it seems the
surfaces (and thus, presumably bounding boxes) for leafs have little to
do with the actual leaf node's volume.
This allows components to display themselves in the UI. Because the
component meta-data is copied into the registry, the function pointer
can be updated by systems (eg, the renderers) to display system-specific
interpretations of the component.
This takes care of rockets and lava balls casting shadows when they
shouldn't (rockets more because the shadow doesn't look that nice, lava
balls because they glow and thus shouldn't cast shadows). Same for
flames, though the small torches lost their cool sconce shadows (need to
split up the model into flame and sconce parts and mark each
separately).
The use of a static set makes Mod_LeafPVS not thread safe and also means
that the set is not usable with the set iterators after going to a
smaller map from a larger map.
Dynamic lights can't go directly on visible entities as one or the other
will fail to be queued. In addition, the number of lights on an entity
needs to be limited. For now, one general purpose light for various
effects (eg, quad damage etc) and one for the muzzle flash.
This also fixes the segfault in the previous commit.
Dynamic light shadow sizes are fixed, but can be controlled via the
dynlight_size cvar (defaults to 250).
While the insertion of dlights into the BSP might wind up being overly
expensive, the automatic management of the component pool cleans up the
various loops in the renderers.
Unfortunately, (current bug) lights on entities cause the entity to
disappear due to how the entity queue system works, and the doubled
efrag chain causes crashes when changing maps, meaning lights should be
on their own entities, not additional components on entities with
visible models.
Also, the vulkan renderer segfaults on dlights (fix incoming, along with
shadows for dlights).
This takes care of the type punning issue by each pass using the correct
sampler type with the correct view types bound. Also, point light and
spot light shadow maps are now guaranteed to be separated (it was just
luck that they were before) and spot light maps may be significantly
smaller as their cone angle is taken into account. Lighting is quite
borked, but at least the engine is running again.
I guess it's kind of UB, but it's handy for images that will be
conditionally written by the GPU but need to be in shader-read-only for
draw calls and the validation layers can't tell that the layers won't be
used.
This gets everything but the actual shadow map bindings working: the
validation layers don't like my type punning (which may well be the
right thing) and specialization constants don't help (yet, anyway) but I
want to get things into git.
It turns out bsp faces are still back-face culled despite the null point
being on the front of every possible plane... or really, because it's on
the front of every possible plane: sometimes the back face is the front
face, and this breaks the face selection code (a separate traversal
function will be needed for non-culling rendering).
Despite that, other than having to deal with different pipelines,
getting the model renderers working went better than expected.
This involved rewriting the descriptor update code too, but that now
feels cleaner.
The matrices are loaded into a storage buffer as it can get quite big at
6 matrices per light (and the current max lights is 768).
The parameter will be passed on to the pipeline tasks in their task
context, allowing for communication between the subsystem calling
QFV_RunRenderPass and the pipeline tasks (for the case of lighting,
passing the current matrix base index).
They're now qfv_* and shared within the vulkan renderer. qfv_z_up cannot
be shared across renderers as they have their own ideas for the world
frame. qfv_box_rotations currently can't be shared across renderers
because if the Y-axis flip and the way it's handled, but sharing should
be achievable by modifying the other renderers to handle the sides
correctly (glsl and gl need to do lookups for the side enums, sw just
needs to be shown which way is up).
