It was properly cleared after drawing water chains and sky chains, but I
had missed normal surfaces. It took the use of the same texture for both
normal surfaces and water surfaces to trigger the bug. Thanks go to Simon
'Sock' O'Callaghan and his In The Shadows mod.
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).
It turns out the expected orientation of the sky cube is exactly that of
Blender's default cube looked at from the front view (num-1) and the front
face being the nearest face. This put's Marcher's sun nicely in the view
when exiting the cave.
Rearrange the sky_suffix and sky_coords arrays and remove the sky_target
array such that the faces can be loaded using
GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_POSITIVE_X + i (apparently certain drivers break if
the faces aren't loaded in the correct order).
Also, the nomalization of the direction vector in the fragment isn't
necessary.
This reverts commit e170f4ee75.
It turns out I messed up something in the patch. I noticed the problem
while playing digs04.bsp: many sub-model surfaces, particularly those with
animated textures, were not being transformed correctly. As this patch did
not make a large performance difference, it's probably better to just
revert it. I might revisit it later.
Where possible, symbols have been made static, prefixed with glsl_/GLSL_ or
moved into the code shared by all renderers. This will make doing plugins
easier but done now for link testing. The moving was done via the gl
commit.
QF will now load a single image with (${skyname}_map.*) using blender's
layout. That is, 3x2 with the top row being back, right, front and the
bottom row being bottom, top, left.
I'd actually done this the first time, but then got confused and forgot the
waterchain works with multiple textures. This is actually the right place
as all transparent surfaces need to be sorted irrespective to their
textures. Really, waterchain needs to be renamed.
Unfortunately, the intel driver on my eeepc doesn't like the mipmas for
plat_top2 or +2floorsw. If I either don't load their mipmaps, or skip
drawing them, things seem to work nicely.
It turns out my complicated plan was just that: complicated. Although there
are currently some bugs, the method I used to build the VBO in the first
place will work equally well for building the index lists.
Just some problems with lightmaps. There also seem to be some issues with
seams (t-junctions?) and far clip, but they're quite separate.
There's also a problem with a segfault when loading a second map.
The entire vertex set from every model is put into one list (not yet
uploaded). chains of elements arrays are build for non-instanced models
(instanced models will have their chains built each frame).
Still nothing being rendered: still in the process of building the display
lists, but I'm making good progress. Get this into git before something
goes wrong :)
