When bubbling a component past an empty range, there's no need for any
actual movement other than adjusting the range itself, and doing so
corrupts the sparse/dense array relationship. Fixes a segfault when
hiding the deathmatch overlay (that resulted from the change to using
canvases).
Canvas_SortComponentPool now takes the raw canvas component id as it is
specialized to the canvas subpools.
Canvas_SetLen resizes the root view and then updates the hierarchy for
every canvas in the system.
Canvas_InitSys sets up the component system with the systems it needs
(canvas, view, text). This is required to ensure view_href is just past
the canvas components as it is needed for retrieving the actual canvas
component (and thus sub-pool range ids) from arbitrary views in the
canvas.
Entities are fetched with the correct offset from the pool entities.
This will make it easy for client code to set up data needed by the
console before the console initializes. It already separates console
cvar setup and initialization, which has generally been a good thing.
The flashing pink around the Q menu cursor was caused by vulkan command
buffer writes and draw queue population being out of phase, which was
fixed by the recent screen update changes (specifically,
42441e87d4).
Rather important for debugging 2d stuff (draw's lines are 2d-only).
Other than translucent console, this gets the vulkan draw api back to
full operation.
This needed either more font ids to be supported, or small lump pics (up
to 32 x 32) to be loaded into the atlas. I went with both. The menus
don't use Draw_TextBox, but quakeworld's netgraph does.
This makes use of slice rendering to achieve the effective scaling, but
the slice data is created only when needed so pics that never use slices
don't waste 16 vertices.
The goal is to get vulkan relying on the "renderpass" abstraction, but
this gets vulkan up and running again, and even fixes the rendering
issues (in the end, getting canvas working wasn't required, but is still
planned).
This is a bit of a hack to allow me to work on vulkan's screen update
"pipeline" without having to mess with the other renderers, since it
turns out they're (currently) fundamentally incompatible.
When a pic needs dynamic vertices (eg, for sub-pics), a descriptor set
is allocated and updated if one has not been created for the pic. This
is done each frame: the descriptor sets are recycled (there currently is
rarely a need for more than a small handful of dynamic descriptors, so
64 should be plenty for now).
Unfortunately, due to the order of operations issue between draw items
getting queued and submitting commands to vulkan (the cause of the pics
not rendering correctly per 8fff71ed4b),
the validation layers complain (correctly) about the command buffers
being executed with updated descriptor sets. Getting the canvas system
up and running will fix that.
The pic is scaled to fill the specified rect (then clipped to the
screen (effectively)). Done just for the console background for now, but
it will be used for slice-pics as well.
Not implemented for vulkan yet as I'm still thinking about the
descriptor management needed for the instanced rendering.
Making the conback rendering conditional gave an approximately 3% speed
boost to glsl with the GL stub (~12200fps to ~12550fps), for either
conback render method.
The wording might seem a little odd, but cl_screen is really the full 2D
client HUD while the console is completely independent of the client and
shouldn't know that the client even exists. Ideally, the resize events
would be handled by the canvas system, to which end this is a small
step.
This fixes the broken dynamic lighting in fisheye rendering. It does
mean that frustum culling of lit surfaces needed to be removed, but if
not doing frustum culling on lit surfaces was good enough for a P90,
it's probably good enough for an i7-6850K.
They are usually larger images (eg, the main menu graphic) and thus make
a mess of the atlas (thus, making them separate means a smaller atlas
can be used). All sorts of things are in a mess (descriptor management,
subpic rendering not supported, wrong alpha value for the transparent
pixel), but this gets the basic loader going.
This just takes advantage of the dynamic verts for doing subpics. It's
not really the most optimal code as it has to write both the vertices
(64 bytes per quad) and the instances (24 bytes per quad), but that's
still better than the old 128 bytes per quad (and having a single
pipeline is nice).
The problem was that I had mixed up the purpose of the per-frame vertex
buffers and used them for the core quad data when they were meant for
subpic and the like, and forgotten about the static vertex buffer.
This gets at least conchars working (pic in general not tested yet).
Any performance gains will be utterly swamped by the deferred renderer,
but it will allow better control of quad render order by any client
code (and should be slightly better for simpler renderers when I get
support for them working).
Right now, plenty is broken (much of the higher level draw functions are
disabled, and pics don't render correctly), but this gets at least the
basics in so I'm not bouncing diffs around as much.
It turns out the slice pipeline is compatible with the glyph pipeline in
that its vertex attribute data is a superset (just the addition of the
offset attributes). While the queues have yet to be merged, this will
eventually get glyphs, sliced sprites, and general (static) quads into
the one pipeline. Although this is slightly slower for glyph rendering
(due to the need to pass an extra 8 bytes per glyph), this should be
faster for quad rendering (when done) as it will be 24 bytes per quad
instead of 32 bytes per vertex (ie, 128 bytes per quad), but this does
serve as a proof of concept for doing quads, glyphs and sprites in the
one pipeline.
The main reason I had created in the first place was I hadn't thought of
using image view swizzles to handle coverage-alpha textures (for
monochrome glyphs), and for whatever reason also had the texture in a
different binding slot to the twod fragment shader. With both issues out
of the way, there's no reason to have an almost identical (just some
naming) shader just for glyphs.
With an eye towards merging the 2d pipelines as much as possible, I
found that the glyph and basic 2d quad texture descriptors were in
different slots for no reason I can think of. Having them in the same
slot would mean I could use the same fragment shader for all 2d
pipelines (though the plan is to get it down to two: (sliced) quads and
lines).
I hadn't noticed the problem until playing with early fragment tests for
the sprite fragment shaders, but passing data that expects triangle
strips to a pipeline that expects triangle lists doesn't work too well
when drawing quads.
This is the beginning of supporting 2d rendering in 3d space. The idea
is that a canvas can be in 2d orthographic space (not attached to any
entity with a 3d transform), or in 3d perspective space (attached to an
entity with a 3d transform, either as a child of the camera, or of some
object in 3d space).
It will replace the current HUD code when it's working.
I found I needed the subrange start as well as the end, but I liked that
the subpools themselves used only the end of the range, so switching to
just a unint32_t for the value and adding a function to return a tuple
made sense. I had kept the struct because I thought I might want to
store additional information (eg, the entity "owning" the subpool), but
found that I didn't need such information as the systems using subpools
that way would have access to the entity by other means.
Interestingly, the change found a bug in subpool creation: I really
don't know why things worked before, but they work better now :)
Subpools are for grouping components by some criterion. Any component
that has a rangeid callback will be grouped with other components that
return the same render id. Note that the ordering of components within a
group will be affected by adding a component into a group that comes
before that group (or removing a component).
Component pools can have multiple groups, added and removed dynamically,
but removing a group should (currently) be done only when empty.
While "set" is a tad strong (there's just the one component for now), I
had missed the changes when adding ECS systems. Fixes the segfault at
the end of demo1 (ie, when any center text is printed).
Instead of creating new entities for the text views. This approximately
halves the number of entities required to display flowed text, but also
tests the ability to have an entity in multiple hierarchies (the goal of
the ECS component and system changes).
Marking them as cached means that they'll be "uncached" instead of
destroyed when freed, which would not be a particularly good thing. I
have no memory as to how I found this as I found the change in my git
stash.
While this does require an extra call after registering components, it
allows for multiple component sets (ie, sub-systems) to be registered
before the component pools are created. The base id for the registered
component set is returned so it can be passed to the subsystem as
needed.
There's now a main ecs.h file that includes the sub-system headers,
removing the need to explicitly include several header files, but the
sub-systems are a less cluttered.
This means that the component id used for hierarchy references must be
passed to Hierarchy_New and Hierarchy_Copy, but does all an entity to
have more than one hierarchy, which is useful for canvases (hierarchies
of views) in the 3d world (the canvas root would have a 3d hierarchy
reference and a 2d (view) hierarchy reference).
It seems that the mouse escaping the barriers requires some combination
of hitting two at once, and holding your mouth just right (something
about sliding the mouse up and down one barrier near the other).
However, sending the mouse back to the center of the screen when it
touches a barrier makes such sliding impossible.
This seems to fix#38
I obviously need a better way to test legacy code because the fix for
unsigned-int behavior with clang broke mouse warping when using
XGrabPointer instead of XInput2's XIGrabEnter.
The separation now uses height above (right of) the base line, and depth
below (left of) the base line. This puts the text exactly where I want
it, but there's still the problem of uneven line spacing caused by
descenders and ascenders. However, I suspect that's more up to the
text/font handling code to get the boxes right (maybe set spaces to have
the right dimensions?).
The main problem was the confusion about the coordinates within a single
glyph, and thus the glyphs position within the view's box. With this,
flowed text works fairly well except for some issues with spacing
between lines (which I think is due to the flow code not having been
tested with offset boxes).
While Draw_Glyph does draw only one glyph at a time, it doesn't shape
the text every time, so is a major win for performance (especially
coupled with pre-shaped text).
Font cannot be overridden yet, but script attributes (language, script
type, direction) and features can be set at all three levels in a
passage. Attributes on the root level act as defaults for the paragraph
and word levels, and paragraph attributes act as defaults for the word
level.
Passage_Delete needs to check if the hierarchy is valid as no text may
have been added, which results in a null pointer for the hierarchy.
Text shaping needs to set language etc every time it resets the buffer.
This causes some problems with linking if libQFgui is linked with
libQFrenderer (which is necessary in the long run), but it seems
everything gets away with it for now (which, tbh, I don't like).
And add a function to process a passage into a set of views with glyphs.
The views can be flowed: they have flow gravity and their sizes set to
contain all the glyphs within each view (nominally, words). Nothing is
tested yet, and font rendering is currently broken completely.
Font and text handling is very much part of user interface and at least
partially independent of rendering, but does fit it better with GUI than
genera UI (ie, both graphics and text mode), thus libQFgui as well as
libQFui are built in the ui directory.
The existing font related builtins have been moved into the ruamoko
client library.
I had done the loader for the GPU renderers, so the CPU renderer didn't
draw the characters transparently. Fixes the pink block in my ruamoko
test scene (due to the notify text area).
While it doesn't really make any difference to the texture upload (8-bit
is 8-bit), and the sampler is in control of the interpretation, this
makes vulkan more consistent with the specification of the glyph
texture.
In theory, it supports all the non-palette formats, but only luminance
and alpha (tex_l and tex_a) have been tested. Fixes the rather broken
glyph rendering.
World scale can only be approximate if non-uniform scales and
non-orthogonal rotations are involved, but it is still useful
information sometimes.
However, the calculation is expensive (needs a square root), so remove
world scale as a component and instead calculate it on an as-needed
basis because it is quite expensive to do for every transform when it is
used only by the legacy-GL alias model renderer.
Thanks to the 3d frame buffer output being separate from the swap chain,
it's possible to have a different frame buffer size from the window
size, allowing for a smaller buffer and thus my laptop can cope (mostly)
with the vulkan renderer.
The escape was actually harmless as the buffers would not be read due to
the particle count being 0 (thus why the buffers were at the end of the
staging buffer: no space was allocated for them, only for the system
buffer, but their offsets were just past the system buffer). However,
the validation layers quite rightly did not like that. Thus, the two
buffers are pointed to the system buffer so all three descriptors are
always valid.
Where too far is 1024 units as that is the maximum supported, or the
radius. The change to using unsigned for the distances meant the simple
checks missed the effective max dist going negative, thus leading to a
segfault.
I had debated putting the blending in the compose subpass or a separate
pass but went with the separate pass originally, but it turns out that
removing the separate pass gains 1-3% (5-15/545 fps in a timedemo of
demo1).
viewstate's time is from cl.time which is not what's used to set
last_servermessage (that uses realtime). After careful investigation, I
found that cl.time is not at all suitable and that the original id code
used realtime (I think it was just me being lazy when I merged the
code). Fixes the stuck net icon.
quake changes rocket and grenade models to explosion models, but
quakeworld does not. This resulted in nq drawing two explosion sprites
instead of one. Separating the types allows nq to skip adding a sprite
for the explosion.
It's a bit flaky for particles, especially at higher frame rates, but
that's due to supporting only 64 overlapping pixels. A reasonable
solution is probably switching to a priority heap for the "sort" and
upping the limit.
This required making the texture set accessible to the vertex shader
(instead of using a dedicated palette set), which I don't particularly
like, but I don't feel like dealing with the texture code's hard-coded
use of the texture set. QF style particles need something mostly for the
smoke puffs as they expect a texture.
It doesn't want to work on my nvidia (or more recent sid?) and doesn't
seem to be necessary. The problem may be multiple event sets before the
first wait, but investigation can wait for now.
This is probably the biggest reason I had problems with particles not
updating correctly: the descriptors were generally point pointing to
where the data actually was in the staging buffer.
I don't yet know whether they actually work (not rendering yet), but the
system isn't locking up, and shutdown is clean, so at least resources
are handled correctly.
Although it works as intended (tested via hacking), it's not hooked up
as the current frame buffer handling in r_screen is not readily
compatible with how vulkan output is handled. This will need some
thought to get working.
