The setup had been lost at some stage, thus shadows were always directly
under the entity. Unlike the original quake shadow code, the vector is
correctly transformed into the entity's space.
I finally found the cause of Despair's gl shadows non-rendering+segfault...
the shadow code expected triangle fans and strips but was getting simple
triangles. Oops.
Nothing in the main program currently uses Key_Progs_Init, so the object
file wasn't getting pulled into the link. However, it's quite necessary for
the client console plugin :/
That is, the descriptors loaded from the progs file. Some compilers (eg,
fteqcc :P) strip builtin names from the progs, which makes debugging
difficult.
LordHavoc had made lighting positive for sw32, but I had done something in
the plugin code that broke that (probably something to do with the
colormap loading). Going back to id's original code fixes the issue.
This reverts commit e170f4ee75.
It turns out I messed up something in the patch. I noticed the problem
while playing digs04.bsp: many sub-model surfaces, particularly those with
animated textures, were not being transformed correctly. As this patch did
not make a large performance difference, it's probably better to just
revert it. I might revisit it later.
Since the backtile is loaded into a scrap and used as a subtexture, we
can't use GL's texture wrapping, thus do the wrapping ourselves. There are
some minor issues with the wrong part of the scrap being drawn: need to
investigate where the bug is (vrect, make_quad, etc).
Rather than checking the raw edict count in the entities file against the
progs' max_edicts, check the allocated entity's number. This allows loading
of sophisticated maps (eg, digs04) that prune many of their entities.
In the end, it turns out this is the correct fix for the gl seg on
overkill, because build_skin will correctly use the fully setup player skin
if the glskin doesn't have a texture associated with it.
It turns out glsl, sw and sw32 weren't getting any benefit from R_CullBox
because the frustum wasn't setup :P. Get another 8% out of bigass1
(174->184fps). bigass1 now runs 2x as fast as it did before I started this
optimisation run :)
This severely reduces the calles to BindTexture, and more importantly,
glUseProgram, EnableVertexAttribArray etc. The biggest changes are:
o icons and text are all in the one giant texture
o icons and text are mixed in the one queue
This gave ~9% speedup for bigass1 (159->174fps).
It seems recent(?) 64-bit strcpy implementations of strcpy don't work
properly for overlapping regions even when moving down. Quite the
surprise, as I thought that would always work. *shrug*
I didn't like the way client/server code was poking around at the
implementation. Instead, provide a couple of accessor functions for the
same information.
There will normally be only one unnamed field (if any), and it's always the
null field. This will put an eventual end to the "'' is not a field"
messages.
Double converting texcoords results in 0,0 for all affected texcoords. Mr
Fixit was looking rather ill. Now he looks weird (something wrong in the
renderer?).
gl, sw and sw32 use blend palettes, so share the code. This also abandons
the optimization for transforming verts in sw (had all sorts of problems
anyway). sw still doesn't work, though.
There are still many issues to sort out, but the basics are working.
Problems:
rendered fullbright (no lighting done)
normals are ignored
extra textures (glow etc) not used/loaded
4 models on the screen don't seem to be a problem.
Though the bsp loader doesn't yet support colored lighting, the ambient
light will be colored when it does. With this, I guess iqm model support is
done for glsl until I figure out how I want to do dual quaternion support.
There's still a problem with his finger tips and feet, but the rest of his
limbs seem to be working well. Much thanks to Spike for encouraging me to
do a dump of the matices that are actually sent to the card.
It turns out that animated joints remain relative right up to the last
moment.
Since iqm vertex arrays are variable, and I don't want to calculate the
stride every time I render a model, cached the value used when building the
arrays.
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 :)
It seems (some versions of) windows vsnprintf don't count the terminating 0
when limiting the number of chars written to the buffer. Nor do they
guarantee the output string will be terminated.
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.
One's an actual bug, the other a bit of error checking (not sure how
necessary it is, but it's in code that we don't /want/ to run, so it can't
hurt :)
While this particular tigger of the real bug was caused by 659d95221e
(hopefully fix both the "get stuck waiting for 3d" bug and the null
worldmode bug.), the real bug was lurking in the code since the dawn of
time (from sw32's perspective). This fix is as per LordHavoc's suggestion
(heh, despite the years, he knows his code), but I spent the time hunting
down the trigger to understand just what was going on.
It turns out that (0,0,0) is too close to a wall (probably on, but the
slight default offset is too close) and the above commit changed the first
rendered frame to be before the player origin was set rather than after.
This fix feels correct to me because noclipping around with the sw32
renderer would probably hit the same bug with a bit of bad luck. Thus
ensure the index resulting from zi never exceeds 65535.
While checking the shaders to see if there might be anything obvious to
work around the current nouveau shader issues, I found a 1 that should have
been a 1.0. I'm surprised it ever compiled.
It doesn't seem to have any useful effect in QF (even before the plugin
project) other than setting the number of frames to update. I'm not sure if
it's a useless variable or one where the user is supposed to match it to
the system configuration. Anyway, with this, the glsl plugin now works.
