Also, correct the handling of scalars in dot and wedge products: it
turns out s.v and s^v both scale. However, it seems the CSE code loses
things sometimes.
This has shown the need for more instructions, such as a 2d wedge
product and narrower swizzles. Also, making dot product produce a vector
instead of a scalar was a big mistake (works nicely in C, but not so
well in Ruamoko).
The current code is pretty broken when it comes to vector types (losing
the vector and bogus errors among other issues). The whole thing needs a
rework or even just to be tossed in favor of better DAG processing.
I guess Hamish's suggestion made sense at the time, but I found that
with the current instructions, the reversed bivector wasn't so nice to
implement it would need a swizzle as well as the cross-product.
By default. Conversion of quake strings needs to be requested (which is
done by nq and qw clients and servers, as well as qfprogs via an
option). I got tired of seeing mangled source code in the disassembly.
I'm not sure if that was a thinko, typo, or something else, but judging
by the relevant commit message, the use of quaternion and vector was
intended only for advanced progs (v6p).
This makes working with them much easier, and the type system reflects
what's in the multi-vector. Unfortunately, that does mean that large
algebras will wind up having a LOT of types, but it allows for efficient
storage of sparse multi-vectors:
auto v = 4*(e1 + e032 + e123);
results in:
0005 0213 1:0008<00000008>4:void 0:0000<00000000>?:invalid
0:0044<00000044>4:void assign (<void>), v
0006 0213 1:000c<0000000c>4:void 0:0000<00000000>?:invalid
0:0048<00000048>4:void assign (<void>), {v + 4}
Where the two source vectors are:
44:1 0 .imm float:18e [4, 0, 0, 0]
48:1 0 .imm float:1aa [4, 0, 0, 4]
They just happen to be adjacent, but don't need to be.
Scaling now works for multi-vector expressions, and always subtracting
even when addition is wanted doesn't work too well. However, now there's
the problem of multi-vectors very quickly becoming full algebra vectors,
which means certain things need a rethink.
This gets only some very basics working:
* Algebra (multi-vector) types: eg @algebra(float(3,0,1)).
* Algebra scopes (using either the above or @algebra(TYPE_NAME) where
the above was used in a typedef.
* Basis blades (eg, e12) done via procedural symbols that evaluate to
suitable constants based on the basis group for the blade.
* Addition and subtraction of multi-vectors (only partially tested).
* Assignment of sub-algebra multi-vectors to full-algebra multi-vectors
(missing elements zeroed).
There's still much work to be done, but I thought it time to get
something into git.
If a symbol is not found in the table and a callback is provided, the
callback will be used to check for a valid procedural symbol before
moving on to the next table in the chain. This allows for both tight
scoping of the procedural symbols and caching.
Due to joys of pointers and the like, it's a bit of a bolt-on for now,
but it works nicely for basic math ops which is what I wanted, and the
code is generated from the expression.
Only · (dot product) and × (cross product for vector, commutator product
for geometric algebra) have been tested so far, but that involved
fighting with cpp to get it to not convert the · to \U000000b7, which
was rather annoying.
I realized recently that I had made a huge mistake making Ruamoko's
based addressing use unsigned offsets as it makes stack-relative
addressing more awkward when it comes to runtime-determined stack frames
(eg, using alloca). This does put a bit of an extra limit on directly
addressable globals, but that's what the based addressing is meant to
help with anyway.
I'm not sure what's up, but arm gcc thinks the array isn't properly
initialized even though x86_64 gcc does. Maybe something with padding.
At least c23 makes it easy to 0-initialize VLAs.
I'm actually surprised anything worked, though I guess it was just the
one entry getting corrupted (and not 32, but I figured allocate slots
for all of the dynamic lights just in case). Or none, really, since
larger scenes (ie, those with multiple lights that fit in the same image
size) would result in not all the maps getting used and thus one spare
for dynamic lights.
Probably not a good idea for large maps, but handy for generating C
structs for small test maps. Does not include vertices or surfaces, just
the bsp tree itself for now.
This seems excessive, but gmsp3v2 map has 1399 lights. Worse, it has a
lot of different light sizes that go up by small increments (generally
around 10) resulting in 33 shadow map images (1 too many). Quantizing
the sizes to 32 drops this nicely to 20, and reduces memory consumption
slightly too (image buffer overhead, I guess).
While the gl renderer does (or did) have it's attempt at shadows, the
others don't even try, thus the onlyshadows-marked player model doesn't
work so well (looks rather goofy seeing the arms like that).
Having more than one copy of ShadowMatrices went against my plans, and I
had trouble finding the attachments set (light_attach.h wasn't such a
good idea).
This covers only the rendering of the shadow maps (actual use still
needs to be implemented). Working with orthographic projection matrices
is surprisingly difficult, partly because creating one includes the
translations needed to get the scene into the view (and depth range),
which means care needs to be taken with the view (camera) matrix in
order to avoid double-translating depending on just how the orthographic
matrix is set up (if it's set up to focus on the origin, then the camera
matrix will need translation, otherwise the camera matrix needs to avoid
translation).
I found it rather confusing that the matrices were all backwards, and
the existing comments about being "horizontal" didn't really help all
that much. After spending some time with maxima, I was able to verify
that the comments were indeed correct, just transposed (horizontal),
with the final composition reversed to reflect that transposition.
Updating directional light CSM matrices made me realize I needed to be
able to send the contents of a packet to multiple locations in a buffer
(I may need to extend it to multiple buffers). Seems to work, but I have
only the one directional light with which to test.
This improves the projection API in that near clip is a parameter rather
than being taken directly from the cvar, and a far clip (ie, finite far
plane) version is available (necessary for cascaded shadow maps as it's
rather hard to fit a box to an infinite frustum).
Also, the orthographic projection matrix is now reversed as per the
perspective matrix (and the code tidied up a little), and a version that
takes min and max vectors is available.
gcc didn't like a couple of the changes (rightly so: one was actually
incorrect), and the fix for qfcc I didn't think to suggest while working
with Emily.
The general CFLAGS etc fixes mostly required just getting the order of
operations right: check for attributes after setting the warnings flags,
though those needed some care for gcc as it began warning about main
wanting the const attribute.
Fixing the imui link errors required moving the ui functions and setup
to vulkan_lighting.c, which is really the only place they're used.
Fixing a load of issues related to autoconf and some small source-level issues to re-add clang support.
autoconf feature detection probably needs some addressing - partially as -Werror is applied late.
Lines are drawn for a light's leaf, the leafs visible to it, or those in
its efrags chain. Still no idea why lights are drawing when they
shouldn't. Deek suggest holes in the map, but I think if that was the
case, there'd be something visible. My suspicion is I'm doing something
wrong in with efrags.
This has resulted in some rather interesting information: it seems the
surfaces (and thus, presumably bounding boxes) for leafs have little to
do with the actual leaf node's volume.
