Sounds odd, but it's part of the problem with calling two different
things with essentially the same name. The "high level" render pass in
question may be a compute pass, or a complex series of (Vulkan) render
passes and so won't create a Vulkan render pass for the "high level"
render pass (I do need to come up with a better name for it).
I really don't remember why I made it separate, though it may have been
to do with r_ent_queue. However, putting it together with the rest is
needed for the "render pass" rework.
It now lives in vulkan_renderpass.c and takes most of its parameters
from plist configs (just the name (which is used to find the config),
output spec, and draw function from C). Even the debug colors and names
are taken from the config.
QFV_CreateRenderPass is no longer used, and QFV_CreateFramebuffer hasn't
been used for a long time. The C file is still there for now but is
basically empty.
The real reason for the delay in implementing support for pNext is I
didn't know how to approach it at the time, but with the experience I've
gained using and modifying vkparse, the solution turned out to be fairly
simple. This allows for the use of various extensions (eg, multiview,
which was used for testing, though none of the hookup is in this
commit). No checking is done on the struct type being valid other than
it must be of a chainable type (ie, have its own pNext).
The software renderer uses Bresenham's line slice algorithm as presented
by Michael Abrash in his Graphics Programming Black Book Special Edition
with the serial numbers filed off (as such, more just so *I* can read
the code easily), along with the Chen-Sutherland line clipping
algorithm. The other renderers were more or less trivial in comparison.
Id's comments are a little inconsistent, but for the most part usable
info can be extracted. While not yet supported, Arcane Dimensions'
comments are extremely consistent (just some issues with hyphen counts
in separators), so parsing out usable info will be fairly easy. The hard
part will be presenting it.
Enabled by 'developer lighting'. It was good for confirming that the
lights in ad_e1m1 (Doom Hangar 16) were actually being output (over 600
of them sometimes, ouch). Turned out to be the color scale ambiguity.
The pitch cvars are taken from quakespasm because I ran into a button I
couldn't shoot with the 80 degree limit, but I figured I'd add roll
limits while I was at it.
Surfaces marked with SURF_DRAWALPHA but not SURF_DRAWTURB are put in a
separate queue for the water shader and run with a turb scale of 0.
Also, entities with colormod alpha < 1 are marked to go in the same
queue as SURF_DRAWALPHA surfaces (ie, no SURF_DRAWTURB unless the
model's texture indicated such).
Textures whose names start with a { are meant to be rendered with
transparency. Surfaces using those textures are marked with
SURF_DRAWALPHA.
Unfortunately, the mip levels of ad_tears' transparent textures use the
wrong color so only the highest LOD works properly, but those textures
are meant to be loaded from external files anyway, it seems.
A listener is used instead of (really, as well as) ie_app_window events
because systems that need to know about windows sizes may not have
anything to do with input and the event system.
This breaks console scaling for now (con_width and con_height are gone),
but is a major step towards window resize support as console stuff
should never have been in viddef_t in the first place.
The client screen init code now sets up a screen view (actually the
renderer's scr_view) that is passed to the client console so it can know
the size of the screen. The same view is used by the status bar code.
Also, the ram/cache/paused icon drawing is moved into the client screen
update code. A bit of duplication, but I do plan on merging that
eventually.
Things seem to be at least close to the right place now.
Input line handling has been made more object-oriented in that the
collection of objects required for a single input line (command, say,
say_team) are bundled into one object with just one set of handlers for
resize and draw. Much tidier.
view_new sets the geometry, but any setgeometry that need a valid data
pointer would get null. It might be better to always have the data
pointer, but I didn't feel like doing such a change at this stage as
there are quite a lot of calls to view_new. Thus view_new_data which
sets the data pointer before calling setgeometry.
The scrap allocator works better if taller rects are allocated first (so
long as they're not too tall, more tuning needed) and qplaque is taller
than mainmenu (but draw order is reversed).
More tuning is needed on the actual splits as it falls over when the
lower rect gets too low for the subrects being allocated. However, the
scrap allocator itself will prefer exact width/height fits with larger
cutoff over inexact cuts with smaller cutoff. Many thanks to tdb for the
suggestions.
Fixes the fps dropping from ~3700fps down to ~450fps (cumulative due to
loss of POT rounding and very poor splitting layout), with a bonus boost
to about 4900fps (all speeds at 800x450). The 2d sprites were mostly ok,
but the lightmaps forming a capital gamma shape in a 4k texture really
hurt. Now the lightmaps are a nice dense bar at the top of the texture,
and 2d sprites are pretty good (slight improvement coming next).
This replaces old_console_t with con_buffer_t for managing scrollback,
and draw_charbuffer_t for actual character drawing, reducing the number
of calls into the renderer. There are numerous issues with placement and
sizing, but the basics are working nicely.
The method is still held by known_methods, so freeing it causes grief.
However, it may cause a leak thus the free is only commented out. More
investigation is needed. I'm surprised the problem didn't show on linux,
but cygwin-native hit it and valgrind on linux found the spot :)
It seems to have been deprecated. This gets --host builds working,
although some libs don't work properly due to having only dlls and I
guess mingw stuff isn'n on any paths.
I really don't know why I tried to do ring-buffers without gaps, the
code complication is just not worth the tiny savings in memory. In fact,
just the switch from pointers to 32-bit offsets saves more memory than
not having gaps (on 64-bit systems, no change on 32-bit).
I've decided that appending to a full single-line buffer should simply
scroll through the existing text. Unsurprisingly, the existing code
doesn't handle the situation all that well. While I've already got a fix
for it, I think I've got a better idea that will handle full buffers
more gracefully.
