They're now qfv_* and shared within the vulkan renderer. qfv_z_up cannot
be shared across renderers as they have their own ideas for the world
frame. qfv_box_rotations currently can't be shared across renderers
because if the Y-axis flip and the way it's handled, but sharing should
be achievable by modifying the other renderers to handle the sides
correctly (glsl and gl need to do lookups for the side enums, sw just
needs to be shown which way is up).
Setting the cvar to > 0 causes demo playback to stop (via demo_speed 0)
when the read packet count reaches the specified value. Very useful for
debugging rendering glitches that are easily reproduced in a demo.
Using set iterators can be quite a lot faster for sparse sets due to the
function call overhead in testing each element. Times for ad_tears
dropped from about 1200us to about 670us (hard to say due to there being
only 3 data points and a lot of noise in the time).
If a step has process tasks, any render or compute
pipelines/renderpasses are **not** run automatically: the idea is the
process tasks need to run the relevant pipelines in a custom manner but
needs the objects to be created.
The recent light changes highlighted that the renderer does not own the
efrags (segfault in qwaq when shutting down my test scene). After
digging through the history of efrag clearing, it turns out that the
renderer never owned them, I just didn't understand the concept of
scenes at the time that I moved efrags into the renderer.
This makes a pretty significant difference: 8-25% for demo1, demo2,
demo3 and bigass1. Many thanks to Nick Alger

It took me a moment to recognize that it's the Minkowski difference (and
maybe GJK?). Of course, I adapted it for simd.
This eliminates the O(N^2) (N = map leaf count) operation of finding
visible lights and will later allow for finer culling of the lights as
they can be tested against the leaf volume (which they currently are
not as this was just getting things going). However, this has severely
hurt ad_tears' performance (I suspect due to the extreme number of
leafs), but the speed seems to be very steady. Hopefully, reconstructing
the vis clusters will help (I imagine it will help in many places, not
just lights).
I guess I wasn't sure how to find all the allocated entities from within
the registry, but it turned out to be trivial. This takes care of leaked
static entities (and, in a later commit, leaked light entities, which is
how I found the problem).
The grid calculations are modified from those of Inigo Quilez
(https://iquilezles.org/articles/filterableprocedurals/), but give very
nice results: when thin enough, the lines fade out nicely instead of
producing crazy moire patterns. Though currently disabled, the default
planes are the xy, yz and zx planes with colored axes.
Based on the article
(https://developer.nvidia.com/content/depth-precision-visualized), this
should give nice precision behavior, and removes the need to worry about
large maps getting clipped. If I'm doing my math correctly, despite
being reversed, near precision is still crazy high. And (thanks to the
reversed depth) about a quarter of a unit (for near clip of 4) out at 1M
unit distance.
This seems to be more for legacy X11 (ie, without fixes etc), but
fullscreen really shouldn't affect grabbing directly (rather, it should
be up to the client whether grabbing (and thus warping) is enabled at
all.
con_linewidt starts out as 0, which leads to bad results for the initial
widths of input lines and later calculations. However, really, they
probably shouldn't be using size_t for the width, but this is a nice
quick fix.
Due to doing most of my testing using the demos, I hadn't noticed the
double-draw until flying around with the debug camera (and it showed as
a weird shimmer behind the sky layers).
The idea is the UI system can call into the renderer without knowing
anything about the renderer, and the renderer can do what it pleases to
create UI elements in the correct context (passes as a parameter).
Panels can be anchored to a widget in another hierarchy, allowing for
things like cascading menus. They can also be extended via referencing
them by name, allowing for subsystems to add items to an already panel
(eg, extending a menu).
This prevent the layout system from repositioning the text view and thus
breaking text-shaping. Now Tengwar Telcontar looks much more balanced in
the widgets.
This is done only in nq because I am not sure of the consequences to the
rest of quake and I do most of my testing in nq when not using qwaq.
Needed for thousands separators in formatted printing.
The lights debug is from the light splat experiment (this is why I kept
the code), and the bsp debug is based on that. Both currently disabled
for now until I get UI controls in.
