This seems to have been an optimization for QW since standard qw removed
monsters. However, since there are QW mods that brought back monsters,
this should be an improvement.
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.
This brings NQ's physics a little closer to QW's. After studying both the
original WinQuake source and the progs source, this change should be
harmless, making very little difference. However, it does allow an
entity's think function to be called multiple times in the same frame (for
when the entity needs more time to think, but it would cause runaway loop
errors). Maybe need a "runaway think" check.
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.
The error was quite valid: setting GL_TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT to 0 is
incorrect. The problem was caused by the call to glTexParameterf being
before the gl_anisotropy cvar was initialized. Thus, move all of the setup
code in GL_Init_Common() to after all the checks and, more importantly,
after the call to GL_Common_Init_Cvars().
For some reason, the construct \c " in config.dox makes the custom \QF
command fail to work for the rest of the file, and escaping the quote
doesn't help. Work around for now by using words.
The special token __INFINITY__, like __FILE__ and friends, will expand to
a floating-point expression containing a value the C compiler considers
infinite. Obviously, this assumes that the system has relatively modern
float hardware -- but if it doesn't, having Ruamoko be able to represent
float infinity is the least of your problems. :)
It turns out that due to the way we do fullbrights, nothing special needs
to be done to get the fullbright texture blended with the model even when
fog is enabled.
