The resource functions assume the requested layers is correct (really,
the lighting code assumes that the resource functions assume such), but
QFV_CreateImage multiplies the layer count by 6 for cube maps (really,
the issue is in QFV_CreateImage, but I want to move away from it
anyway).
The check for the entity being the view model was checking only the
view model id, which is not sufficient when the view model is invalid by
never being set to other than 0s. A better system for dealing with the
view model is needed.
Another step towards moving all resource creation into the one place.
The motivation for doing the change was getting my test scene to work
with only ambient lights or no lights at all.
It seems this isn't needed any more (not sure why) as both glsl and
vulkan are happy without it. Also unsure why moving to ECS made gl and
sw change behavior regarding rendering the test models in my scene.
While the libraries are probably getting a little out of hand, the
separation into its own directory is probably a good thing as an ECS
should not be tied to scenes. This should make the ECS more generally
useful.
This fixes the segfault due to the world entity not actually existing,
without adding a world entity. It takes advantage of the ECS in that the
edge renderer needs only the world matrix, brush model pointer, and the
animation frame number (which is just 0/1 for brush models), thus the
inherent SOA of ECS helps out, though benchmarking is needed to see if
it made any real difference.
With this, all 4 renderers are working again.
Since entity_t has a pointer to the registry owning the entity, there's
no need to access a global to get at the registry. Also move component
getting closer to where it's used.
It was being set to -1 unconditionally due to forgetting to use id.
However, I decided I didn't like reusing the id var and did some
renaming while I was at it.
This puts the hierarchy (transform) reference, animation, visibility,
renderer, active, and old_origin data in separate components. There are
a few bugs (crashes on grenade explosions in gl/glsl/vulkan, immediately
in sw, reasons known, missing brush models in vulkan).
While quake doesn't really need an ECS, the direction I want to take QF
does, and it does seem to have improved memory bandwidth a little
(uncertain). However, there's a lot more work to go (especially fixing
the above bugs), but this seems to be a good start.
Not that anything is actually rendered yet, but the validation layers
don't like the null render pass. Came up now because ctf1 seems to make
the first light an ambient light.
It didn't really add anything of value as the glyph bitmap rects and the
bearings were never used together, and the rest of the fields were
entirely redundant. A small step towards using a component system for
text.
The inconsistencies in clang's handling of casts was bad enough, and its
silliness with certain extensions, but discovering that it doesn't
support raw strings was just too much. Yes, it gives a 3s boost to qfvis
on gmsp3v2.bsp, but it's not worth the hassle.
While the base of a memory object was aligned when calculating the
memory block size, the top end was not, which could result in the memory
block not getting enough bytes allocated to satisfy alignment
requirements (eg, for flushing).
While fixing that, I noticed the offsets of objects were not being
aligned when binding, so that is fixed as well.
Fixes Mr Fixit on my VersaPro.
With the improved atlas allocation, 2x is no longer needed and 1.2x
seems to be sufficient. Most importantly, it reduced the texture for
amiri-regular.ttf at 72 pix height from 8x to 4x (the staging buffer
isn't big enough for 8k textures).
Currently, only 16 fonts can be loaded (I need to sort out descriptor
set pools), but glyphs are grouped into batches of the same font. While
not quite optimal as it can result in bouncing between descriptor sets a
lot, it's still reasonably efficient.
Line rendering now has its own pipeline (removing the texture issue).
Glyph rendering (for fonts) has been reworked to use instanced quad
rendering, with the geometry (position and texture coords) in a static
buffer (uniform texture buffer), and each instance has a glyph index,
color, and 2d base position.
Multiple fonts can be loaded, but aren't used yet: still just the one
(work needs to be done on the queues to support multiple
textures/fonts).
Quads haven't changed much, but buffer creation and destruction has been
cleaned up to use the resource functions.
Its value on input is ignored. QFV_CreateResource writes the resource
object's offset relative to the beginning of the shared memory block.
Needed for the Draw overhaul.
I got tired of writing the same 13 or so lines of code over and over (it
actually put me off experimenting with Vulkan). Thus...
QFV_PacketCopyBuffer does the work of handling barriers and a (full
packet) copy from the staging buffer to a GPU buffer.
QFV_PacketCopyImage does a similar job, but for images. However, it
still needs a lot of work, but it does make getting a basic texture onto
the GPU much less of a hassle.
Both functions should make staging data much less error-prone.
This moves the qfv_resobj_t image initialization code from the IQM
loader into the resource management code. This will allow me to reuse
the code for setting up glyph data. As a bonus, it cleans up the IQM
code nicely.
UVs being 0 meant that lines were picking up the upper left pixel of
char 0 of conchars. With quake data, this meant a transparent pixel.
Fixes invisible debug lines :P.
It turns out that using the swapchain image for the size requirements is
unreliable: when running under renderdoc, vkGetImageMemoryRequirements
sets the memory requirements fields to 0, leading eventually to a null
memory object being passed to vkMapMemory, which does not end well.
I had missed that vkCmdCopyImage requires the source and destination
images to have exactly the same size, and I guess assumed that the
swapchain images would always be the size they said they were, but this
is not the case for tiled-optimal images. However,
vkCmdCopyImageToBuffer does the right thing regardless of the source
image size.
This fixes the skewed screenshots when the window size is not a multiple
of 8 (for me, might differ for others).
There's a problem with screenshot capture in that the image is sheared
after window resize, but the screen view looks good, and vulkan is happy
with the state changes.
As gbuf_base derives from the base pipeline, it inherits base's dynamic
setting, and thus doesn't need its own. I had a FIXME there as I wasn't
sure why I had a redundant setting, but I really can't see why I'd want
it different from any of the other main renderpass pipelines.
I've found and mostly isolated the parts of the code that will be
affected by window resizing, minus pipelines but they use dynamic
viewport and scissor settings and thus shouldn't be affected so long as
the swapchain format doesn't change (how does that happen?)
Finally, the model_funcs and render_funcs struts use designated
initializers. Not only are they good for ensuring correct
initialization, they're great for the programmer finding the right
initializer.
With the addition of dependencies on freetype and harfbuzz, it became
clear that the renderer plugins need to be explicitly linked against
external dependencies (and that I need to do more installed testing,
rather than just my static local builds). This fixes the unresolved
symbols when attempting to load any of the plugins.
qwaq doesn't supply a backtile pic, so Draw_TileClear in the gl and glsl
renderers would segfault when qwaq's window width changed due to some
back-tile being drawn.
As of a recent nvidia driver update, it became necessary to enable the
feature. I guess older drivers (or vulkan validation layers?) were a bit
slack in their checking (or perhaps I didn't actually get those lighting
changes working at the time despite having committed them).
This did involve changing some field names and a little bit of cleanup,
but I've got a better handle on what's going on (I think I was in one of
those coding trances where I quickly forget how things work).
This makes bsp traversal even more re-entrant (needed for shadows).
Everything needed for a "pass" is taken from bsp_pass_t (or indirectly
through bspctx_t (though that too might need some revising)).
Ambient lights are represented by a point at infinity and a zero
direction vector (spherical lights have a non-zero direction vector but
the cone angle is 360 degrees). This fixes what appeared to be mangled
light renderers (it was actually just an ambient light being treated as
a directional light (point at infinity, but non-zero direction vector).
There are some issues with the light renderers getting mangled, and only
the first light is even touched (just begin and end of render pass), but
this gets a lot of the framework into place.
