As the sw renderer's implementation was the closest to id's, it was used
as the model (thus a fair bit of cleanup is still needed). This fixes
some incorrect implementations in glsl and gl.
I'd forgotten (when doing the original brush texture loader) that
turbulent surfaces were unlit and thus always full-bright, then never
wrote the turb shader to take care of it. The best solution seems to be
to just mix the two colors in the shader as it will allow turb surfaces
to be lit in the future (probably with severely limited light counts due
to being a forward renderer).
This gets the alias pipeline in line with the bsp pipeline, and thus
everything is about as functional as it was before the rework (minus
dealing with large texture sets).
I guess it's not quite bindless as the texture index is a push constant,
but it seems to work well (and I may have fixed some full-bright issues
by accident, though I suspect that's just my imagination, but they do
look good).
This should fix the horrid frame rate dependent behavior of the view
model.
They are also in their own descriptor set so they can be easily shared
between pipelines. This has been verified to work for Draw.
BSP textures are now two-layered with the albedo and emission in the two
layers rather than two separate images. While this does increase memory
usage for the textures themselves (most do not have fullbright pixels),
it cuts down on image and image view handles (and shader resources).
Smashing everything in the process :P (need to work on the C side).
However, while bindless is supposedly good for performance, the biggest
gain this will bring is portability: the texture counts are
automatically limited to what the hardware can handle, and the reliance
on push descriptors is removed (though they were nice and did help get
things up and running).
I had forgotten that the parameters are in reverse order, and even if I
had remembered, I forgot to reset offset before the second loop.
Pre-decrementing offset takes care of both issues at once.
My VersaPro doesn't support more than 32 per-stage samplers (lavapipe).
This is a small part of getting Vulkan to run on lavapipe and even in
itself is rather incomplete.
This allows using references in expressions, eg:
$frames.size * size_t($properties.limits.maxSamplers)
As references remain property list items until actually evaluated.
Fixes the warning about parse_fixed_array not being used (oops, the
problem with partial commits), but more importantly, gives access to
things like maxDescriptorSetSamplers.
This will make property list expressions easier to work with. The
library is rather limited right now (trig, dot, min/max/bound) but even
just min adds a lot of functionality.
For now, just dot product, trig, and min/max/bound, but it works well as
a proof of concept. The main goal was actually min. Only the list of
symbols is provided, it is the user's responsibility to set up the
symbol table and context.
cexpr's symbol tables currently aren't readily extended, and dynamic
scoping is usually a good thing anyway. The chain of contexts is walked
when a symbol is not found in the current context's symtab, but minor
efforts are made to avoid checking the same symtab twice (usually cased
by cloning a context but not updating the symtab).
I want to support reading VkPhysicalDeviceLimits but it has some arrays.
While I don't need to parse them (VkPhysicalDeviceLimits should be
treated as read-only), I do need to be able to access them in property
list expressions, and vkgen generates the cexpr type descriptors too.
However, I will probably want to parse arrays some time in the future.
This ensures that unused parser blocks do not get emitted. In the
testing of the upcoming support for fixed arrays, the blend color
constants were being double emitted (both as custom and normal parser)
due to being an array. gcc did not like that (what with all those
warning flags).
Multiple render passes are needed for supporting shadow mapping, and
this is a huge step towards breaking the Vulkan render free of Quake,
and hopefully will lead the way for breaking the GL renderers free as
well.
This is actually a better solution to the renderer directly accessing
client code than provided by 7e078c7f9c.
Essentially, V_RenderView should not have been calling R_RenderView, and
CL_UpdateScreen should have been calling V_RenderView directly. The
issue was that the renderers expected the world entity model to be valid
at all times. Now, R_RenderView checks the world entity model's validity
and immediately bails if it is not, and R_ClearState (which is called
whenever the client disconnects and thus no longer has a world to
render) clears the world entity model. Thus R_RenderView can (and is)
now called unconditionally from within the renderer, simplifying
renderer-specific variants.
The generated short names for a lot of Vulkan enums start with a number
(eg VK_IMAGE_TYPE_2D -> 2d). Having to prefix the short name with ` is a
tiny cost for the convenience.
While using binary data objects for specialization data works for bools
(as they can be 0 or -1), they don't work so well for numeric values due
to having to get the byte order correct and thus are not portable, and
difficult to get right.
Binary data is still supported, but the data can be written as a string
with an array(...) "constructor" expression taking any number of
parameters, with each parameter itself being an expression (though
values are limited at this stage).
Due to the plist format, quotes are required around the expression
("array(...)")
While there may be better solutions, I needed a varargs function for
building Vulkan specialization data. Like progs functions, negative
parameter counts indicate ellipsis with the number of fixed parameters
being equal to -param_count - 1.
Sets never shrink, so assigning a dynamically created set to a
statically created set after the working size has reduced (going from
demo2 to demo3) causes the set code to attempt to resize the statically
created set, which leads to libc having a bad time.
Why nvidia's drivers accepted double-destroyed framebuffers is beyond
me, but this fixes the Intel drivers complaining about such (and the
subsequent segfault).
When I changed the matrices from an array of floats to an array of
vec4f_t, I forgot to update the flush offsets. Yay for having a
Vulkan-capable Intel device with its different alignment requirements.
When allocating memory for multiple objects that have alignment
requirements, it gets tedious keeping track of the offset and the
alignment. This is a simple function for walking the offset respecting
size and alignment requirements, and doubles as a size calculator.
IN_ButtonAction treats id 0 as not pressed in its internal processing,
and the previous input implementation treated 0 as "no key", so this is
both the simplest and most correct fix.
Fixes mouse left button not working every second time the game is run
(due to keyboard and mouse bindings swapping places in the config file
(separate issue, if it really is one)).
I'm not sure what I was thinking when I made PL_RemoveObjectForKey take
a const plitem. One of those times where C could do with being a little
more strict.
While using barriers is a zillion times better than actually grabbing
the mouse and keyboard, they're still a pain when debugging as qf is not
able to respond to the barrier-hit events. All the other logic is still
there so even when "grabbing", the mouse will not be blocked if the
window doesn't have focus.
The stack is arbitrary strings that the validation layer debug callback
prints in reverse order after each message. This makes it easy to work
out what nodes in a pipeline/render pass plist are causing validation
errors. Still have to narrow down the actual line, but the messages seem
to help with that.
Putting qfvPushDebug/qfvPopDebug around other calls to vulkan should
help out a lot, tool.
As a bonus, the stack is printed before debug_breakpoint is called, so
it's immediately visible in gdb.
Rather than just 0/1, it now acts as flags to control what messages are
printed. In addition to the Vulkan enum names (long and short), none and
all are supported (as well as raw numbers, but they're not checked for
validity). This makes vulkan_use_validation a bit easier to use and less
verbose by default.
Now, if only it was easier to remember the name :P
Id's binding of escape to togglemenu interfered with the hard-coding
(want escape to togglemenu (or console as a fallback) no matter what).
This idea was part of mercury's original design, too.
I'm not at all happy with con_message and con_menu, but fixing them
properly will take a rework of the menus (planned, though). Also, the
Menu_ console command implementations are a bit iffy and could also do
with a rewrite (probably part of the rest of the menu rework) or just
nuking (they were part of Johnny on Flame's work, so I suspect had
something to do with joystick bindings).
It seems X11 does not like creating barriers entirely off the screen,
though the error seems to be a little unreliable (however, off the left
edge was definitely bad).
An imt switcher automatically changes the context's active imt based on
a user specified list of binary inputs. The inputs may be either buttons
(indicated as +button) or cvars (bare name). For buttons, the
pressed/not pressed state is used, and cvars are interpreted as ints
being 0 or not 0. The order of the inputs determines the bit number of
the input, with the first input being bit 0, second bit 1, third bit 2
etc. A default imt is given so large switchers do not need to be fully
configured (the default imt is written to all states).
A context can have any number of switchers attached. The switchers can
wind up fighting over the active imt, but this seems to be something for
the "user" (eg, configuration system) to sort out rather than the
switcher code enforcing anything.
As a result of the inputs being treated as bits, a switcher with N
inputs will have 2**N states, thus there's a maximum of 16 inputs for
now as 65536 states is a lot of configuration.
Using a switcher, setting up a standard strafe/mouse look configuration
is fairly easy.
imt_create key_game imt_mod
imt_create key_game imt_mod_strafe imt_mod
imt_create key_game imt_mod_freelook
imt_create key_game imt_mod_lookstrafe imt_mod_freelook
imt_switcher_create mouse key_game imt_mod_strafe +strafe lookstrafe +mlook freelook
imt_switcher 0 imt_mod 2 imt_mod 4 imt_mod_freelook 8 imt_mod_freelook 12 imt_mod_freelook
imt_switcher 6 imt_mod_lookstrafe 10 imt_mod_lookstrafe 14 imt_mod_lookstrafe
in_bind imt_mod mouse axis 0 move.yaw
in_bind imt_mod mouse axis 1 move.forward
in_bind imt_mod_strafe mouse axis 0 move.side
in_bind imt_mod_lookstrafe mouse axis 0 move.side
in_bind imt_mod_freelook mouse axis 1 move.pitch
This takes advantage of imt chaining and the default imt for the
switcher (there are 8 states that use imt_mod_strafe).
The switcher name must be unique across all contexts, and every imt used
in a switcher must be in the switcher's context.
The listener is invoked when the axis value changes due to IN_UpdateAxis
or IN_ClampAxis updating the axis. This does mean the listener
invocation make be somewhat delayed. I am a tad uncertain about this
design thus it being a separate commit.
Listeners are separate to the main callback as listeners have only
read-only access to the objects, but the main callback is free to modify
the cvar and thus can act as a parser and validator. The listeners are
invoked after the main callback if the cvar is modified. There does not
need to be a main callback for the listeners to be invoked.
This allows id1/qw config files, and to a certain extent scripts, to
work with the new binding system. It does highlight just how limited the
original system was (many keys could not bound).
Mouse axis input does not work yet as that needs a little more work to
support +strafe and +mlook.
I had forgotten that Cmd_Args() preserves quotes, which resulted in
button bindings having excess quotes when used to bind complex commands
(eg, the default quicksave and quickload bindings).
I decided cvars and input buttons/axes need listeners so any changes to
them can be propagated. This will make using cvars in bindings feasible
and I have an idea for automatic imt switching that would benefit from
listeners attached to buttons and cvars.
For now, only the first two axis (mouse X and Y) are supported (XInput
treats the scroll wheel events as axes too, so mice have up to 4!), but
most importantly, this prevents the scroll wheel from being seen as the
X axis. Oops.
Combining absolute and relative inputs at the binding does not work well
because absolute inputs generally update only when the physical input
updates, so clearing the axis input each frame results in a brief pulse
from the physical input, but relative inputs must be cleared each frame
(where frame here is each time the axis is read) but must accumulate the
relative updates between frames.
Other than the axis mode being incorrect, this seems to work quite
nicely.
With the old headers removed, X11_SetGamma became a stub and gcc
complained about it wanting the const attribute. On investigation, it
turned out the X_XF86VidModeSetGamma was a holdover from the initial
implementation of hardware gamma support.
UI key presses are still handled by regular X events, but in-game
"button" presses arrive via raw keyboard events. This gives transparent
handling of keyboard repeat (UI keys see repeat, game keys do not),
without messing with the server's settings (yay, that was most annoying
when it came to debugging), and the keyboard is never grabbed, so this
is a fairly user-friendly setup.
At first, I wasn't too keen on capturing them from the root window
(thinking about the user's security), but after a lot of investigation,
I found a post by Peter Hutterer
(http://who-t.blogspot.com/2011/09/whats-new-in-xi-21-raw-events.html)
commenting that root window events were added to XInput2 specifically
for games. Since application focus is tracked and unfocused key events
are dropped very early on, there's no way for code further down the
food-chain to know there even was an event, abusing the access would
require modifying the x11 input code, in which case all bets are off
anyway and any attempt at security anywhere in the code will fail,
meaning that nefarious progs code and the like shouldn't be a problem.
After a lot of thought, it really doesn't make sense to have an option
to block mouse input in x11 (not grabbing or similar does make sense, of
course). Not initializing mouse input made perfect sense in DOS and even
console Linux (SVGA) what with the low level access.
It turns out that if the barriers are set on the app window, and the app
grabs the pointer (even passively), barrier events will no longer be
sent to the app. However, creating the barriers on the root window and
the events are selected on the root window, the barrier events are sent
regardless of the grab state.
The kernel knows nothing about X11 application focus, so we need to take
care of it ourselves.
Device add/remove events are unaffected: the are always passed on.
Other subsystems, especially low-level input drivers, need to know when
the app has input focus. eg, as the evdev driver uses the raw stream
from the kernel, which has no idea about X application focus (in fact,
it seems the events are shared across multiple apps without any issue),
the evdev driver sees all the events thus needs to know when to drop
them.
It turns out to be possible to get a barrier event at the same time as a
configure notify event (which rebuilds the barriers), and trying to
release the pointer at such a time results in a bad barrier error and
program crash. Thus check the event barrier against the currently
existing barriers before attempting to release the pointer.
This does mean that a better mechanism for sequencing window
repositioning and barrier creation may be required.
This should be a much friendlier way of "grabbing" input, though I
suspect that using raw keyboard events will result in a keyboard grab,
which is part of the reason for wanting a friendly grab.
There does seem to be a problem with the mouse sneaking out of the
top-right and bottom-left corners. I currently suspect a bug in the X
server, but further investigation is needed.
This is needed for getting window position info into in_x11 without
exposing more globals, and is likely to be useful for other things,
especially as it doubles as a resize event when that's eventually
supported.
This is necessary in focus-follows-mouse environments (at least for
openbox, but it wouldn't surprise me if most other WMs behave the same
way) because the WMs don't set focus when the pointer is grabbed (which
XInput does before the WM sees the enter event). This is especially
important when the window is fullscreen on a multi-monitor setup as
there is no border to *maybe* catch the mouse before it enters the
window.
Right now, only raw pointer motion and button events are handled, and
the mouse escapes the window, and there are some issues with focus in
focus-follows-mouse environments. However, this should be a much nicer
setup than DGA.
The current limit is still 32. Dealing with it properly will take some
rather advanced messing with XInput, and will be necessary assuming
non-XInput support is continued.
There's now IN_X11_Preinit, IN_X11_Postinit (both for want of better
names), and in_x11_init. The first two are for taking care of
initialization that needs to be done before window creation and between
window creation and mapping (ie, are very specific to X11 stuff) while
in_x11_init takes care of the setup for the input system. This proved
necessary in my XInput experimentation: a passive enter grab takes
effect only when the pointer enters the window, thus setting up the grab
with the pointer already in the window has no effect until the pointer
leaves the window and returns.
This was always a horrible hack just to get the screen centered on the
window back when we were doing fullscreen badly. With my experiments
with XInput, it has proven to be a liability (I'd forgotten it was even
there until it started imposing a 2s delay to QF's startup).
Input driver can now have an optional init_cvars function. This allows
them to create all their cvars before the actual init pass thus avoiding
some initialization order interdependency issues (in this case, fixing a
segfault when starting x11 clients fullscreen due to the in_dga cvar not
existing yet).
Well... it could be done better, but this works for now assuming it's in
/usr/include (and it's correct for mxe builts). Does need proper
autoconfiscation, though.
Seems to work nicely for keyboard (though key bindings are not
cross-platform). Mouse not tested yet, and I expect there are problems
with it for absolute inputs (yay mouse warp :P).
I didn't notice that uint is defined somewhere on Linux... until I tried
compiling for windows (not defined). Use a define to keep the cast
function naming nice.
Mouse axis and button names are handled internally (and thus
case-insensitive).
Key names are handled by X11. Case-sensitivity is currently determined
by Xlib.
keyhelp provides the input name if it is known, and in_bind tries to use
the provided input name if not a number. Case sensitivity for name
lookups is dependent on the input driver.
Reset the blocks completely when loading configs and fix a leftover from
when I thought I'd expose the block numbers to bindings but then changed
my mind to simply track the base binding.
The cooked inputs (ie_key, ie_mouse) are intended for UI interaction, so
generally should have priority over the raw events, which are intended
for game interaction.
There's now an internal event handler for taking care of device addition
and removal, and a public event handler for dealing with device input
events in various contexts In particular, so the clients can check for
the escape key.
While the console command line is quite good for setting everything up,
the devices being bound do need to be present when the commands are
executed (due to needing extra data provided by the devices). Thus
property lists that store the extra data (button and axis counts, device
names/ids, connection names, etc) seems to be the best solution.
Recipes themselves still use float, but using double in the cexpr values
allows bare floating point numbers (which parse as double) to be used,
making the bind command line a little more user-friendly.
The mouse bound to movement axes works (though signs are all over the
place, so movement direction is a little off), and binding F10 (key 68)
to quit works :)
Each axis binding has its own recipe (meaning the same input axis can be
interpreted differently for each binding)
Recipes are specified with field=value pairs after the axis name.
Valid fields are minzone, maxzone, deadzone, curve and scale, with
deadzone doubling as a balanced/unbalanced flag.
The default recipe has no zones, is balanced, and curve and scale are 1.
Hot-plug support is done via "connections" (not sure I'm happy with the
name) that provide a user specifiable name to input devices. The
connections record the device name (eg, "6d spacemouse") and id (usually
usb path for evdev devices, but may be the device unique id if
available) and whether automatic reconnection should match just the
device name or both device name and id (prevents problems with changing
the device connected to the one usb port).
Unnecessary enum removed, and the imt block struct moved to imt.c
(doesn't need to be public). Also, remove device name from the imt block
(and thus the parameter to the functions) as it turns out not to be
needed.
in_bind is only partially implemented (waiting on imt), but device
listing, device naming, and input identification are working. The event
handling system made for a fairly clean implementation for input
identification thanks to the focused event handling.
This has smashed the keydest handling for many things, and bindings, but
seems to be a good start with the new input system: the console in
qw-client-x11 is usable (keyboard-only).
The button and axis values have been removed from the knum_t enum as
mouse events are separate from key events, and other button and axis
inputs will be handled separately.
keys.c has been disabled in the build as it is obsolute (thus much of
the breakage).
I'm undecided on how to handle application focus (probably gain/lose
events), and the destination handler has been a stub for a while. One less
dependency on the "old" key handling code.
I'm undecided if the pasted text should be sent as a string rather than
individual key events, but this will do the job for now as it gets me
closer to being able to test everything.
It seems that under certain circumstances (window managers?), select is not
reliable for getting key events, so use of select has been disabled until I
figure out what's going on and how to fix it.
For the mouse in x11, I'm not sure which is more cooked: deltas or
window-relative coordinates, but I don't imagine that really matters too
much. However, keyboard and mouse events suitable for 2D user interfaces
are sent at the same time as the more game oriented button and axis events.
The x11 keyboard and mouse devices are really core input devices rather
than x11 input devices in that keyboard and mouse will be present on most
systems and thus not specific to the main user interface (x11, windows,
etc).
It turns out that calling Sys_Shutdown in the signal handler can cause
lockups due to the signal occurring at unsafe times. Fortunately, this is
just the IO related signals (INT, HUP, TERM, QUIT) as the others are
usually caused by actual errors and should not occur in system code thus
timing should not be an issue. However, care will need to be taken when it
comes to handling SIGINT or similar for breaking runaway progs code when
that time comes.
Now nothing works at all ;) However, that's only because the binding
system is incomplete: the X11 input events are getting through to the
binding system, so now it's just a matter of getting that to work.
Input Mapping Tables are still at the core as they are a good concept,
however they include both axis and button mappings, and the size is not
hard-coded, but dependent on the known devices. Not much actually works
yet (nq segfaults when a key is pressed).
kbutton_t is now in_button_t and has been moved to input.h. Also, a
button registration function has been added to take care of +button and
-button command creation and, eventually, direct binding of "physical"
buttons to logical buttons. "Physical" buttons are those coming in from
the OS (keyboard, mouse, joystick...), logical buttons are what the code
looks at for button state.
Additionally, the button edge detection code has been cleaned up such
that it no longer uses magic numbers, and the conversion to a float is
cleaner. Interestingly, I found that the handling is extremely
frame-rate dependent (eg, +forward will accelerate the player to full
speed much faster at 72fps than it does at 20fps). This may be a factor
in why gamers are frame rate obsessed: other games doing the same thing
would certainly feel different under varying frame rates.
For drivers that support it. Polling is still supported and forces the
select timeout to 0 if any driver requires polling. For now, the default
timeout when all drivers use select is 10ms.
