And the tests really exercised VectorShear (first attempt had things
messed up when more than one shear value was non-zero). Also,
Mat4Decompose wasn't orthogonalizing the z axis row. Oops. Anyway,
Mat4Decompose is now known to work well, and the usage of its output is
understood :)
I'd gotten the norm and magnitude mixed up (partly because the document I
was following got the names mixed up), and then munged the formulas
together.
Now it doesn't matter if you get 22 fps or 72, you jump the same height,
which actually happens to be slightly higher than the previous 72fps jump.
Effectively, you jump the height you would if you got infinite fps ;)
I got the idea from blender when I discovered by accident that quat * vect
produces the same result as quat * qvect * quat* and looked up the code to
check what was going on. While matrix/vector multiplication still beats the
pants off quaternion/vector multiplication, QuatMultVec is a slight
optimization over quat * qvect * quat* (17+,24* vs 24+,32*, plus no need to
to generate quat*).
This avoids sending invalid pose data to the renderer. The symptom was a
vertex array offset higher than the vertex array size. Discovered by calim
of nouveau while he was debugging a driver problem found by QF. Many
thanks.
This allows the vid module to load the render module and access render
specific functions before the renderer initializes, which happens to need
an initialized vid module...
The renderer now gets initialized and things sort of work (qw-client will
idle, though nothing is displayed). However, as the viddef stuff is broken,
it segs on trying to run the overkill demo.
Still, nothing will work: no plugins are loaded and they're all broken
anyway.
glx, sgl, glslx etc are going away, just the basics will be built: fbdev
(probably go away eventually), sdl, x11 and hopefully someday win. That's
actually the only reason anything links.
Where possible, symbols have been made static, prefixed with glsl_/GLSL_ or
moved into the code shared by all renderers. This will make doing plugins
easier but done now for link testing. The moving was done via the gl
commit.

The api hides all the gory details of message buffer setup and usage
(particularly the differences between writing and reading). Most
importantly, the api provides a safe way to read and write binary data
(always little endian).
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.
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.
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.
If trace is null or point type, or the hull doesn't have portals, or the
first node is a leaf, MOD_HullContents operates in point mode (exactly the
same way as SV_HullPointContents()). However, in box mode, all leafs
touched by the trace are checked for their contents. The contents field of
trace (a bit field) will indicate the contents type of all touched leafs.
The returned contents value indicates the most important contents:
solid > lava > slime > water > empty
The one's complement value of the contents type is the bit number of the
contents bit field. I'm not sure how useful this will be as getting the
amount of overlap is currently not supported.
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).
Same as the rotating entities in NQ. Unfortunately, I have some problems
with certain entities doing really weird things during collisions. I'll
sort that out later.
It seems qsockaddr's assumptions aren't necessarily portable, as OpenBSD
seems to be doing weird things with qsa_family. Even if that's not the
case, this is cleaner.
