Most subsystems that depend on other subsystems now call the init functions
themselves. This makes for much cleaner client initialization (more work
needs to be done for the server).
The renderer should now be free of any direct access to client code. Even
3d rendering is now done via a function pointer.
The cshift code is done as a 2d screen function.
Unfortunately, the maximum point size on Intel hardwar seems to be 1, so I
can't tell if the colors are right.
This is largely just a hacked version of GL's particle code.
For now, only the glsl loader disables caching, but it stores the frame
vertices in GL memory, so its hunk usage is relatively lower (and will be
lower still when I get skins sorted out).
Unfortunately, the intel driver on my eeepc doesn't like the mipmas for
plat_top2 or +2floorsw. If I either don't load their mipmaps, or skip
drawing them, things seem to work nicely.
It turns out my complicated plan was just that: complicated. Although there
are currently some bugs, the method I used to build the VBO in the first
place will work equally well for building the index lists.
The entire vertex set from every model is put into one list (not yet
uploaded). chains of elements arrays are build for non-instanced models
(instanced models will have their chains built each frame).
Still nothing being rendered: still in the process of building the display
lists, but I'm making good progress. Get this into git before something
goes wrong :)
After getting in contact with serplord, I now know that the sw alias
loading was correct. Turns out the gl loaders was mostly correct, just a
mistaken subtract rather than add. And with that, I can implement alias-16
support in glsl. better yet, since all the work is done in the loader, the
renderer doesn't know anything about it :) However, I need to create some
16-bit models for testing.
Not all hardware can access a texture sampler from the vertex shader, and I
don't want multiple paths this early in the game. Now, vertex normals are
uploaded as shorts. Should be 14 bytes per vertex (was 10, could have been
8 if I had put the normal index with the vertex rather than st).
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.
Vertex locations need to be unsigned byte rather than byte (GL is funy
with that). s and t need to be at least short, and since the normal index
is embedded in the st vector, it needs to be the same type. With this, my
test tetrahedrons seem to be working.
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.
Also, re-implement VectorCompare and QuatCompare using the new macros.
VectorCompCompare and QuatCompCompare take a parameter specifying the
comparison operator to use. All component-wise comparisons must be true
for the whole comparison to be true.
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.
in_bind_imt is now gone. I guess mercury was right in that it was a poor
design. However, it was (and still is necessary) to support "bind" and
"unbind". Now, instead, they work only with the IMT_MOD table. IMT_MOD sits
below IMT_0 in the imt hierarchy. If the key is not bound in IMT_0+, then
IMT_MOD will be checked. This way, "bind" and "unbind" can never mess with
a user's more sophisticated binding setup.
The backquote is not always usable for toggling the console, and the new
bind system doesn't automatically bind a key to both game and console imts
(by design). Thus create a cvar that allows the "always works" console
toggle to be specified in eg $fs_globalcfg. While I'm at it, do one for the
menus, too.
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.
Currently only "id", "hipnotic" and "rogue" are supported (anything else is
treated as "id"). Has no effect in quakeworld (good thing too: changing
gamedirs is a little broken).
