Still work with gcc, of course, and I still need to fix them properly,
but now they're actually slightly easier to find as they all have vec_t
and FIXME on the same line.
Viewport and FOV updates are now separate so updating one doesn't cause
recalculations of the other. Also, perspective setup is now done
directly from the tangents of the half angles for fov_x and fov_y making
the renderers independent of fov/aspect mode. I imagine things are a bit
of a mess with view size changes, and especially screen size changes
(not supported yet anyway), and vulkan winds up updating its projection
matrices every frame, but everything that's expected to work does
(vulkan errors out for fisheye or warp due to frame buffer creation not
being supported yet).
I meant to do this a while ago but forgot about it. Things are a bit of
a mess in that the renderer knows too much about entities, but
eventually the renderer will know about only things to render (meshes,
particles, etc).
r_refdef is really meant for holding the various screen "constants" for
the software renderer rather than the more generic scene stuff. All the
fields referenced by the low level rendering code (especially assembly)
have been moved to the beginning of the struct (and nicely fit within 64
bytes). The other fields should be moved elsewhere, but not this commit.
On top of that, R_ViewChanged is much easier to read, and there are
fewer static globals.
While it's not where I want it to be, it at least now no longer messes
with frame buffer binding or the view ports. This involved switching
around buffers in D_WarpScreen so that the main buffer could be bound
before post-processing.
Again, gl/vulkan not working yet (on the assumption that sw would be
trickier).
Fisheye overrides water warp because updating the projection map every
frame is far too expensive.
I've added a post-process pass to the interface in order to hide the
implementation details, but I'm not sure I'm happy about how the
multi-pass rendering for cube maps is handled (or having the frame
buffers as exposed as they are), but mainly because Vulkan will make
implementation interesting.
For now, OpenGL and Vulkan renderers are broken as I focused on getting
the software renderer working (which was quite tricky to get right).
This fixes a couple of issues: the segfault when warping the screen (due
to the scene rendering move invalidating the warp buffer), and warp
always having 320x200 resolution. There's still the problem of the
effect being too subtle at high resolution, but that's just a matter of
updating the tables and tweaking the code in D_WarpScreen.
Another issue is the Draw functions should probably write directly to
the main frame buffer or even one passed in as a parameter. This would
remove the need for binding the main buffer at the beginning and end of
the frame.
This used to be handled by R_RenderView (encompassing all of the
rendering) before the scene rendering was moved out to r_screen. This
fixes the stuck time in 32-bit nq-win.
Its guts have been moved to D_Init temporarily while I work on the
frame buffer design. This is actually a big part of that work as it
moves most of the frame buffer creation into the one place, making it
easier to ensure I get all the sub-buffers and caches created.
r_screen isn't really the right place, but it gets the scene rendering
out of the low-level renderers and will make it easier to sort out
later, and hopefully easier to figure out a good design for vulkan.
The change to using separate per-model-type entity queues resulted in
the lighting vector used for alias and iqm models being in an ephemeral
location (in the shared setup_lighting function's stack frame). This
resulted in the model rendering code getting a garbage vector due to it
being overwritten by another stack frame. What I don't get is why the
garbage varied from run to run for the same demo (demo2, the first scrag
behind the start door showed the bad lighting nicely), which made
tracking down the offending commit (and thus the code) rather
troublesome, though once I found it, it was a bit of a face-palm moment.
Move r_pcurrentvertbase into the sw renderer, cleaning up gl's use of
(not really needed there). Not ready to move r_bsp into the main bin yet
as there are linking issues since only the low-level code references any
of its symbols.
The code is really part of scene (not a typo wrt r_screen: that is
misnamed as such, or at least SCR_UpdateScreen needs to be split into
screen (2d overlay, really) and scene updates).
This breaks fisheye rendering as the fisheye code calls the actual scene
render code multiple times, but the fisheye code is called by said scene
render code via a diversion. The fisheye needs to be moved out to the
high level scene render, but that will takes some extra work for frame
buffer setup.
The two aren't compatible (but warping might be doable in the fisheye
code). The whole frame setup code needs a rework, and really, even the
buffer handling.
It being on the stack was a bad idea as R_RenderWorld returns before the
scans are rendered and thus the entity pointer winds up pointing to
abandoned stack space.
Only for gl and sw at the moment (want to merge things further before I
do anything for glsl or vulkan). However, with with I've learned getting
gl and sw to work, glsl and vulkan will be trivial.
This moves the common camera setup code out of the individual drivers,
and completely removes vup/vright/vpn from the non-software renderers.
This has highlighted the craziness around AngleVectors with it putting
+X forward, -Y right and +Z up. The main issue with this is it requires
a 90 degree pre-rotation about the Z axis to get the camera pointing in
the right direction, and that's for the native sw renderer (vulkan needs
a 90 degree pre-rotation about X, and gl and glsl need to invert an
axis, too), though at least it's just a matrix swizzle and vector
negation. However, it does mean the camera matrices can't be used
directly.
Also rename vpn to vfwd (still abbreviated, but fwd is much clearer in
meaning (to me, at least) than pn (plane normal, I guess, but which
way?)).
I'd been considering it for a while, but in the end, all the issues it
presented made me decide it wasn't worth merging and was never really
worth keeping: it was a neat proof of concept but of little actual use,
especially now everyone either has an OK GPU or would want to stick to
8-bit rendering anyway (sorry L-Havoc).
However, both it and my merge work are preserved in git history :)
I got tired of having to maintain two separate software renderers, but
didn't want to just nuke sw32, so its core changes are merged into sw.
Alias model rendering is broken, but I know exactly what's wrong and how
to fix it, just need to take care due to asm.
This is a step towards high-level unification of the renderers, as far
as possible keeping only actual low-level implementation details in the
individual renderers (some higher level stuff, eg shadows, is expected
to be per-renderer as some things are just not feasible to implement in
all renderers). However, the idea is to move the high-level
functionality into scene rendering.
Only CaptureBGR is per-renderer as the rest of the screenshot code uses
it to do the actual capture (which is target dependent). Vulkan is
currently broken due to capture being an asynchronous process and the
rest of the code expecting capture to be synchronous (also, bgr vs rgb).
The best thing is all renderers now write the same format (currently
png).
I'm not sure what the author of that code was thinking (maybe trying to
do 4 pixels at a time?), but the resulting code still did only one.
Better to remove all the casts, use the right pointer type, and keep the
code clear.
While there's currently only the one still, this will allow the entities
to be multiply queued for multi-pass rendering (eg, shadows). As the
avoidance of putting an entity in the same queue more than once relies
on the entity id, all entities now come from the scene (which is stored
in cl_world in the client code for nq and qw), thus the extensive
changes in the clients.
While I doubt the difference is all that significant, this should speed
up entity rendering because it cuts out a lot of branching, and
eliminates scanning the same list multiple times only to not do anything
for large chunks of the list.
This takes care of the global variables to a point (there is still the
global struct shared between the non-vulkan renderers), but it also
takes care of glsl's points-only rendering.
After yesterday's crazy marathon editing all the particles files, and
starting to do another big change to them today, I realized that I
really do need to merge them down. All the actual spawning is now in the
client library (though particle insertion will need to be moved). GLSL
particle rendering is semi-broken in that it now does only points (until
I come up with a way to select between points and quads (probably a
context object, which I need anyway for Vulkan)).
