Really, this won't make all that much difference because alias models
with more than one skin are quite rare, and those with animated skin
groups are even rarer. However, for those models that do have more than
one skin, it will allow for reduced allocation overheads, and when
supported (glsl, vulkan, maybe gl), loading all the skins into an array
texture (since all skins are the same size, though external skins may
vary), but that's not implemented yet, this just wraps the old one skin
at a time code.
This gets the alias pipeline in line with the bsp pipeline, and thus
everything is about as functional as it was before the rework (minus
dealing with large texture sets).
For now, the functions check for a null hunk pointer and use the global
hunk (initialized via Memory_Init) if necessary. However, Hunk_Init is
available (and used by Memory_Init) to create a hunk from any arbitrary
memory block. So long as that block is 64-byte aligned, allocations
within the hunk will remain 64-byte aligned.
Mostly, this gets the stage flags in with the barrier, but also adds a
couple more barrier templates. It should make for slightly less verbose
code, and one less opportunity for error (mismatched barrier/stages).
This fixes the textures (and presumably mesh data) being deleted while
still in use. Oddly, the wait was needed in both brush and alias models
(I expected brush to always come first).
It's not quite as expected, but that may be due to one of msaa, the 0-15
range in the palette not being all the way to white, the color gradients
being not quite linear (haven't checked yet) or some combination of the
above. However, it's that what should be yellow is more green. At least
the zombies are no longer white and the ogres don't look like they're
wearing skeleton suits.
Doesn't seem to make much difference performance-wise, but speed does
seem to be fill-rate limited due to the 8x msaa. Still, it does mean
fewer bindings to worry about.
It now takes a context pointer (opaque data) that holds the buffers it
uses for the temporary strings. If the context pointer is null, a static
context is used (making those uses of va NOT thread-safe). Most calls to
va use the static context, but all such calls have been formatted
consistently so they are easy to find when it comes time to do a full
audit.
I had messed up my index array creation, but once that was fixed the
textures worked well other than a lot of pixels are shades of grey due
to being in the top or bottom color map range.
