conwidth and conheight have been moved into vid.conview (probably change
the name at some time), and scr_vrect has been replaced by a view as
well. This makes it much easier to create 2d elements that follow the
screen size (taking advantage of a view's gravity) which will, in the
end, make changing the window size easier.
vid.aspect is removed (for now) as it was not really the right idea (I
really didn't know what I was doing at the time). Nicely, this *almost*
fixes the fov bug on fresh installs: the view is now properly
upside-down rather than just flipped vertically (ie, it's now rotated
180 degrees).
This is the first step towards component-based entities.
There's still some transform-related stuff in the struct that needs to
be moved, but it's all entirely client related (rather than renderer)
and will probably go into a "client" component. Also, the current
components are directly included structs rather than references as I
didn't want to deal with the object management at this stage.
As part of the process (because transforms use simd) this also starts
the process of moving QF to using simd for vectors and matrices. There's
now a mess of simd and sisd code mixed together, but it works
surprisingly well together.
This is a big step towards a cleaner api. The struct reference in
model_t really should be a pointer, but bsp submodel(?) loading messed
that up, though that's just a matter of taking more care in the loading
code. It seems sensible to make that a separate step.
It now takes a context pointer (opaque data) that holds the buffers it
uses for the temporary strings. If the context pointer is null, a static
context is used (making those uses of va NOT thread-safe). Most calls to
va use the static context, but all such calls have been formatted
consistently so they are easy to find when it comes time to do a full
audit.
This makes tex_t more generally useable and probably more portable. The
goal was to be able to use tex_t with data that is in a separate chunk
of memory.
This cleans up texture_t and possibly even improves locality of
reference when running through texture chains (not profiled, and not
actually the goal).
The static variable meant that Fog_GetColor was not thread-safe (though
multiple calls in the one thread look to be ok for now). However, this
change takes it one step closer to being more generally usable.
Patch found in an old stash.
There's still some cleanup to do, but everything seems to be working
nicely: `make -j` works, `make distcheck` passes. There is probably
plenty of bitrot in the package directories (RPM, debian), though.
The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.
Most of the old Makefile.am files are now Makemodule.am. This should
allow for new Makefile.am files that allow local building (to be added
on an as-needed bases). The current remaining Makefile.am files are for
standalone sub-projects.a
The installable bins are currently built in the top-level build
directory. This may change if the clutter gets to be too much.
While this does make a noticeable difference in build times, the main
reason for the switch was to take care of the growing dependency issues:
now it's possible to build tools for code generation (eg, using qfcc and
ruamoko programs for code-gen).
This paves the way for clean initialization of the Vulkan renderer, and
very much cleans up the older renderer initialization code as gl and sw
are no longer intertwined.
I'd missed a set of bit->lightnum conversions that resulting in lightnum
becoming much greater than 128 and thus trashing memory when the surface
was marked.
The seed is currently 0xdeadbeef, but I intend on fixing that soon. Now the
particle velocities and origins use fully independent bits (though a big
chunk is wasted right now).
This is a quick fix until I get a random number generator into QF.
Mingw's RAND_MAX is only 0x7fff and so the (((rnd >> 10) & 63) - 31.5) / 63.0
used for the z component of origin and velocity would never go positive.
For now, change the 10 to 9 (reusing another bit from Y). I plan on
implementing a full 32-bit PRNG in QF so we always have a reliable
generator.
This fixes the status bar refresh issues in sw. The problem was that with
two viddef's hanging around, things got a little confused and recalc_refdef
wasn't getting into the renderer.
The depth limits in the gl and glsl renderers and in the trace code really
bothered me, but then the fix hit me: at load-time, recurse the trees
normally and record the depth in the appropriate place. The node stacks can
then be allocated as necessary (I chose to add a paranoia buffer of 2, but
I expect the maximum depth will rarely be used).
The attached patch (against quakeforge git) changes the [con]width,
[con]height, and most importantly the rowbytes members of viddef_t
from unsigned to signed int, like in q2. This allows for a properly
negative vid.rowbytes which may be needed in, e.g. a DIB sections
windows driver if needed. Along with it, I changed a few places
where unsigned int is used along with comparisons against the relevant
vid.* members.
One thing I am not 100% sure is the signedness requirements of
d_zrowbytes and d_zwidth: q2 has them as unsigned but I am not sure
whether that is because they are needed as unsigned or it was just an
oversight of the id developers. They do look like they should be OK
as signed int to me, though: comments?
==
Note from Bill Currie: I had to do some extra changes as many
signed/unsigned comparisons were somehow missed.
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
Where possible, symbols have been made static, prefixed with gl_/GL_ or
moved into the code shared by all renderers. This will make doing plugins
easier but done now for link testing.
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).
If the map got reloaded but the current leaf didn't change the world (and
most entities) didn't get drawn. Forcing a vis update by first setting
r_viewleaf to null and marking surfaces does the trick :)
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Move the texture coordinates in 1/4 of a pixel. To avoid unnecessary
calculations, pre-caclulate the character cell texture coordinates and
blast them into the the texture coordinate array.
r_skyname now acts as the default sky to use when no sky name is specified
by other means ("none" is still no sky). 'loadsky foo' will load the
"foo*" sky textures, 'loadsky none' gives the default sky, and 'loadsky
""' causes uses r_skyname.
