This is based on ccr's patch, but a little more thorough (he missed some
potential problems) and probably more readable (the original code wasn't
the greatest (still isn't, but...))..
This fixes the broken intermissions. There might be a better fix, but this
will do for now because the one alternative solution (getting
V_CalcIntermissionRefdef to poke directly at entity states) is not
something I particularly want to do.
Really, when cl_nodelta is in effect (eg, .qwd demo recording and thus
playback). QW now uses the new shared entity state block as I'd intended.
Thanks to the cleanup of ghost entities (ie, entities that have been
removed but continue to be rendered), glsl overkill has gone from 157 to
163 fps :)
It was a hack to help with cleaning up the renderer, but is now in the way
of merging the clients.
This happens to fix the position/angle lerping, though angles behave a
little oddly.
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.
