I never liked it, but with C2x coming out, it's best to handle bools
properly. I haven't gone through all the uses of int as bool (I'll leave
that for fixing when I encounter them), but this gets QF working with
both c2x (really, gnu2x because of raw strings).
It was added only because FitzQuake used it in its pre-bsp2 large-map
support. That support has been hidden in bspfile.c for some time now.
This doesn't gain much other than having one less type to worry about.
Well tested on Conflagrant Rodent (the map that caused the need for
mclipnode_t in the first place).
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The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.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).
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).
o All instances of LIBADD/LDADD have a corresponding DEPENDENCIES
specificatiion.
o libraries now use a lib_ldflags macro to keep things consistent
o duplication of source/lib names has been minimized (particularly in
the libraries; more work needs to be done for the executables)
o automake spec blocks have been organized (again, more work needs to be
done for the executables)
It turns out that the box trace CAN get out of the solid from that location
(though a similar point trace can not). This is because of my decision to
allow non-points to touch a plane from either side without crossing the
plane, whereas a point touching a plane is always considered to be on the
front side of the plane as there is no further information to disambiguate
on which side of the plane the point is.
When the portals are too big, floats break down and break the tests. This
might not be much of an issue in real maps, but my tests use "infinite"
planes.
Unfortunately, Pythagorus and binary don't play well together, so rounding
errors are inevetible when testing with a slope. However, 1e-6 seems to be
a good epsilon (printf's %g hides it nicely :).
This one demonstrates the need for more information in the bsp tree
(surface polygons). When the box collides with a corner where one side is
flat and the other angled, but there's a partition plane cutting the two,
the box can instead collide with the angled side before it hits the corner.
However, there is still a problem with moves where the box is always cut
by the plane: both sides need to be tested (done), but when the first side
checked allows longer motion than the second, but still collides, only the
first side is checked. The shorter motion is required.
I'm not sure the end point needs to be moved at all, but I'll leave it
alone for now. I have a couple of failing test cases that seem to be caused
by not handling moves where the box is always cut by the plane.
Rather than setting allsolid when the trace fails to leave solid space,
clear it when the trace enters non-solid space. This is necessary because
the trace might visit only one node and thus the failure to leave solid
space will not be detected. This fixes the problem with hipnotic's bobbing
water.
