The script format is the same as the console command-line, so no new
format :). The scripts are compiled to byte code and cached. They are
referenced by name (eg, "pt_fire"), though the names are likely to change.
It seems to work quite well and should prove to be a good basis for
scripting particle effects in general.
They're actually guaranteed for the first and last segments due to the
first and last points being duplicated in the buffer (simplifies design).
This also handles the rare case where a vector appears to go directly into
or out of the screen.
Everything works nicely if only one of n1 or n2 is 0, and for the very rare
case of both n1 and n2 being 0, then a final normal of 0 is reasonable.
This fixes the problem of not finding files without a .gz extension when
gzip support is enabled (most of my quake data is compressed, so it took a
while for me to notice the problem).
The search for these files will stop in the vpath that contains the .bsp
file to which they belong. This will prevent problems with
id1/maps/start.lit being used for shadows/maps/start.bsp.
_QFS_VOpenFile is actually _QFS_FOpenFile reimplemented to take vpath start
and end parameters so the search can be limited. QFS_VOpenFile,
_QFS_FOpenFile, and QFS_FOpenFile are all wrappers for _QFS_VOpenFile.
A vpath is the union of all locations searched for a file in a single
gamedir (eg, shadows, id1 etc). This is a necessary step to preventing
problems like id1/maps/start.lit being used for shadows/maps/start.bsp.
However, QFS_FilelistFill still needs to be reworked as it does not compile
yet (testing was done with a gutted QFS_FilelistFill).
It seems mesa still has the bug where non-array attributes don't work
when set as attribute 0, and that the allocation order changed sometime
since I last tested with mesa. This fixes the black world and flickering
alias models on my eeepc.
So far, alias model rendering is the only victim, but things are working,
even if only color map lookup and fog blending are broken out at this
stage.
I expect the effect naming scheme will go through some changes until I'm
happy with it.
