I think the widespread use of recalc_refdef (and force_fullscreen) was
the result of a rushed merge of the renderer and video code (I do seem
to remember sprinkling them around). This cleans the two out of the
client code.
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.
It's a lot easier to read (and see the difference between modes 2 and 3)
with all the ifs removed, and the state is properly is chasestate_t now
(though not handled properly on level reset etc).
The more advanced modes are rather broken (continuous spinning), but
they may have been for a while. The bulk of the various changes were due
to renaming viewstate's origin and angles to make their meaning more
explicit.
They've been near-identical for years, now they're only one. It proved
necessary to start merging the HUD code which for now is just a few cvar
declarations (not even init), but that should be a separate set of
commits.
Handling of view angles is a little hacky at the moment, but this gets
the chase camera code and most of the common input code into one place,
which will make cleaning up the camera code much easier.
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)).
This allows id1/qw config files, and to a certain extent scripts, to
work with the new binding system. It does highlight just how limited the
original system was (many keys could not bound).
Mouse axis input does not work yet as that needs a little more work to
support +strafe and +mlook.
This sorts out the unwanted use of R_EnqueueEntity, which will help with
removing another global (r_ent_queue), which is necessary for threaded
multi-pass rendering (ie, shadows).
Really, when cl_nodelta is in effect (eg, .qwd demo recording and thus
playback). QW now uses the new shared entity state block as I'd intended.
Thanks to the cleanup of ghost entities (ie, entities that have been
removed but continue to be rendered), glsl overkill has gone from 157 to
163 fps :)
