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the name at some time), and scr_vrect has been replaced by a view as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.
This refactors (as such) keys.c so that it no longer depends on console
or gib, and pulls keys out of video targets. The eventual plan is to
move all high-level general input handling into libQFinput, and probably
low-level (eg, /dev/input handling for joysticks etc on Linux).
Fixes#8
QF now uses its own configuration file (quakeforge.cfg for now) rather
than overwriting config.cfg so that people trying out QF in their normal
quake installs don't trash their config.cfg for other quake clients. If
quakeforge.cfg is present, all other config files are ignored except
that quake.rc is scanned for a startdemos command and that is executed.
Only 64-bit windows is tested, and there are still various failures, but
QF is limping along in windows again.
nq-sdl works for sw, and sw32, gl and glsl are mostly black (but not
entirely for gl?), vulkan is not supported with sdl.
nq-win works for sw and sw32, and sort of for vulkan (very dark and
upside-down?). gl and glsl complain about vid mode,
qw-client-[sdl,win] seem to be the same, but something is wrong with the
console (reading keyboard input).
While this caused some trouble for pr_strings and configurable strftime
(evil hacks abound), it's the result of discovering an ancient (from
maybe as early as 2004, definitely before 2012) bug in qwaq's printing
that somehow got past months of trial-by-fire testing (origin understood
thanks to the warning finding it).
The server edict arrays are now stored outside of progs memory, only the
entity data itself (ie data accessible to progs via ent.fld) is stored in
progs memory. Many of the changes were due to code accessing edicts and
entity fields directly rather than through the provided macros.
Double benefit, actually: faster when building a fat PVS (don't need to
copy as much) and can be used in multiple threads. Also, default visiblity
can be set, and the buffer size has its own macro.
Useful for avoiding a pile of wrapper functions that merely pass on
command-specific data to the actual implementation. Used to clean up the
wrappers in nq and qw cl_input.c
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.
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).
They take a pointer to a free-list used for hashlinks so the hashlink
pools can be per-thread. However, hash tables that are not updated are
always thread-safe, so this affects only updates. progs_t has been set
up such that it is easy for multiple progs within one thread can share
hashlinks.
