pr_type_t now contains only the one "value" field, and all the access
macros now use their PACKED variant for base access, making access to
larger types more consistent with the smaller types.
They're really redundant, and removing the next pointer makes for a
slightly smaller cvar struct. Cvar_Select was added to allow finding
lists of matching cvars.
The tab-completion and config saving code was reworked to use the hash
table DO functions. Comments removed since the code was completely
rewritten, but still many thanks to EvilTypeGuy and Fett.
Hash_Select returns a list of elements that match a given criterion
(select callback returning non-0).
Hash_ForEach simply calls a function for every element.
And use it for hud_scoreboard_gravity. Putting the enum def in view made
the most sense as view does own the base type and the enum is likely to
be by useful for other settings.
My script didn't know what type to make the cvars since they're not used
directly by the code, so they got treated as strings instead of ints or
floats.
This is an extremely extensive patch as it hits every cvar, and every
usage of the cvars. Cvars no longer store the value they control,
instead, they use a cexpr value object to reference the value and
specify the value's type (currently, a null type is used for strings).
Non-string cvars are passed through cexpr, allowing expressions in the
cvars' settings. Also, cvars have returned to an enhanced version of the
original (id quake) registration scheme.
As a minor benefit, relevant code having direct access to the
cvar-controlled variables is probably a slight optimization as it
removed a pointer dereference, and the variables can be located for data
locality.
The static cvar descriptors are made private as an additional safety
layer, though there's nothing stopping external modification via
Cvar_FindVar (which is needed for adding listeners).
While not used yet (partly due to working out the design), cvars can
have a validation function.
Registering a cvar allows a primary listener (and its data) to be
specified: it will always be called first when the cvar is modified. The
combination of proper listeners and direct access to the controlled
variable greatly simplifies the more complex cvar interactions as much
less null checking is required, and there's no need for one cvar's
callback to call another's.
nq-x11 is known to work at least well enough for the demos. More testing
will come.
The prefix gives more context to the error messages, making the system a
lot easier to use (it was especially helpful when getting my cvar revamp
into shape).
Based on the flags type used in vkparse (difference is the lack of
support for plists). Having this will make supporting named flags in
cvars much easier (though setting up the enum type is a bit of a chore).
This allows for easy (and safe) printing of cexpr values where the type
supports it. Types that don't support printing would be due to being too
complex or possibly write-only (eg, password strings, when strings are
supported directly).
This is progress towards #23. There are still some references to
host_time and host_client (via nq's server.h), and a lot of references
to sv and svs, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.
This allows a single render pass description to be used for both
on-screen and off-screen targets. While Vulkan does allow a VkRenderPass
to be used with any compatible frame buffer, and vkparse caches a
VkRenderPass created from the same description, this allows the same
description to be used for a compatible off-screen target without any
dependence on the swapchain. However, there is a problem in the caching
when it comes to targeting outputs with different formats.
This means that a tex_t object is passed in instead of just raw bytes
and width and height, but it means the texture can specify whether it's
flipped or uses BGR instead of RGB. This fixes the upside down
screenshots for vulkan.
This fixes (*ahem*) the vulkan renderer segfaulting when attempting to
take a screenshot. However, the image is upside down. Also, remote
snapshots and demo capture are broken for the moment.
QFS_NextFilename was renamed to QFS_NextFile to reflect the fact it now
returns a QFile pointer for the newly created file (as well as the
name). This necessitated updating WritePNG to take a file pointer
instead of a file name, with the advantage that WritePNGqfs is no longer
necessary and callers have much more control over the creation of the
file.
This makes QFS_NextFile much more secure against file system race
conditions and attacks (at least in theory). If nothing else, it will
make it more robust in a multi-threaded environment.
QF currently uses unique file names for screenshots and server-side
demos (and remote snapshots), but they're generally useful.
QFS_NextFilename has been filling this role, but it is highly insecure
in its current implementation. This is the first step to taking care of
that.
clang doesn't like the same variable name being used in nested
expression statements, so give the "safety" variables in reused macros
semi-meaningful (based on macro name) tails to keep them separate.
gcc and clang have rather different swizzle builtins, but both do a nice
job of optimizing the intuitive initializer swizzle (I think gcc 8(?)
didn't do such a good job thus my use of __builtin_shuffle).
Viewport and FOV updates are now separate so updating one doesn't cause
recalculations of the other. Also, perspective setup is now done
directly from the tangents of the half angles for fov_x and fov_y making
the renderers independent of fov/aspect mode. I imagine things are a bit
of a mess with view size changes, and especially screen size changes
(not supported yet anyway), and vulkan winds up updating its projection
matrices every frame, but everything that's expected to work does
(vulkan errors out for fisheye or warp due to frame buffer creation not
being supported yet).
Definitely not something for the renderer to care about directly (ie, at
most, a post-process filter setting or palette update, which is how it
actually is currently).
I meant to do this a while ago but forgot about it. Things are a bit of
a mess in that the renderer knows too much about entities, but
eventually the renderer will know about only things to render (meshes,
particles, etc).
The quake-specific enums are now in the client header, and the particle
system now has a gravity field rather than getting it from
vid_render_data (which I hope to eventually get rid of entirely).
r_refdef is really meant for holding the various screen "constants" for
the software renderer rather than the more generic scene stuff. All the
fields referenced by the low level rendering code (especially assembly)
have been moved to the beginning of the struct (and nicely fit within 64
bytes). The other fields should be moved elsewhere, but not this commit.
On top of that, R_ViewChanged is much easier to read, and there are
fewer static globals.
Of course, it's not as correct as glsl or sw due to using polygons and
uvs rather than a fragment shader (not that such is out of the question
since GL 3.0 is requested, but I don't feel like getting shaders going
just for a couple of post-processing effects in an obsolete renderer).
While it's not where I want it to be, it at least now no longer messes
with frame buffer binding or the view ports. This involved switching
around buffers in D_WarpScreen so that the main buffer could be bound
before post-processing.
The code dealing with state is a bit of a mess, but everything is
working nicely. Get around 400fps when all 6 faces need to be rendered
(no surprise: it should be about 1/6 of that for normal rendering). The
messy state handling code did not come as a surprise as I suspected
there were various mistakes in my scene rendering "recipe", and fisheye
highlighted them nicely (I'm sure getting this stuff working in Vulkan
will highlight even more issues).
Finally, after a decade :P Looks pretty good, too, and is (almost)
properly scaled to the resolution (almost because the effect is a little
squashed, but I think the sw renderer does the same).
Again, gl/vulkan not working yet (on the assumption that sw would be
trickier).
Fisheye overrides water warp because updating the projection map every
frame is far too expensive.
I've added a post-process pass to the interface in order to hide the
implementation details, but I'm not sure I'm happy about how the
multi-pass rendering for cube maps is handled (or having the frame
buffers as exposed as they are), but mainly because Vulkan will make
implementation interesting.
For now, OpenGL and Vulkan renderers are broken as I focused on getting
the software renderer working (which was quite tricky to get right).
This fixes a couple of issues: the segfault when warping the screen (due
to the scene rendering move invalidating the warp buffer), and warp
always having 320x200 resolution. There's still the problem of the
effect being too subtle at high resolution, but that's just a matter of
updating the tables and tweaking the code in D_WarpScreen.
Another issue is the Draw functions should probably write directly to
the main frame buffer or even one passed in as a parameter. This would
remove the need for binding the main buffer at the beginning and end of
the frame.
Its guts have been moved to D_Init temporarily while I work on the
frame buffer design. This is actually a big part of that work as it
moves most of the frame buffer creation into the one place, making it
easier to ensure I get all the sub-buffers and caches created.
