Other notes:
* on second thought I'll keep the hw_clip functions' gld prefixes rather than HWR, not like it matters either way
* despite the extra lag it does fix the issues with translucent walls and such when displayed at different vertical angles, such as with the GFZ1 waterfall
Other notes:
* Renamed all new functions to have HWR_ prefix instead of gld_, for consistency
* HWR_FrustrumSetup and HWR_SphereInFrustum are disabled and require HAVE_SPHEREFRUSTRUM. This is because 1) SRB2CB did not need the code, so presumably neither will we, and 2) there are some OpenGL API functions used there that due to our way of using OpenGL we don't use outside of r_opengl.c, which makes dealing with HWR_FrustrumSetup complicated in theory
* The new clipping functions are not added to OpenGL's "main" rendering code itself just yet, they're just available to use now once hw_clip.h is included
this fixes a crash in (old) GFZ2 at the ramp as a result of creating pv1/pv2. This probably means before pv1/pv2 there could have been some silly typecasting from vertex_t to polyvertex_t to get fixed vertex coords and such...
I also optimised those two functions while I was there (why keep a "floating" variable when setting it to false guarantees the functions return false?)
Also tweaked a weird splitscreen check in HWR_DrawSpriteShadow; still investigating whether stplyr is ever not player 2 when it's player 2's view, but this looks better for now
* Bomb sphere! Paraloopable hazard. Replaces MT_SPECIALSPIKEBALL.
* Blueberry bushes, both normal and Xmas, from patch.dta.
* BSZ tulips, also from patch.dta!
* Frozen Hillside badniks - Penguinator and Pophat.
* Frozen Hillside ice decoration!
* Fixed some big bugs with the DSZ light beams.
* Made multi-mare special stages work, in a troll way - the Chaos Emerald disappears in a puff of smoke, and the Spinbobert laughter sound plays... >:3c
* Reverted the mobjtype number changes from the source SOC/Lua, which we can do later when doing a final pass of the levels.
* State optimisation.
* Serious cruft-removal of the NiGHTS drone thinker.
* Fix the issues where the player wouldn't curl into jump in waterslides or dropping off rope-hangs.
* Tweak NiGHTS player flashing.
* Add text colour support to the titlecard font.
* Use that to make the PRESS SPIN\nMID-JUMP thing when you get all Chaos Emeralds use the titlecard font for readability.
* Fix the GOT ALL EMERALDS page not lasting the correct, extended amount of time.
* Fix that thing where flying mid-spin didn't enact autobrake.
* Modify graymap a little on Sryder's suggestion.
* [COMPLETELY UNRELATED] fix that thing where the addons menu will fail on files/paths with spaces in [/COMPLETELY UNRELATED]
OLD SPECIAL STAGES:
* Spheres in old special stages instead of rings!
* Individual timers in old special stages instead of a global one!
* Old special stages use a variant of the NiGHTS HUD now!
* Special stage damage in old special stages loses 5 seconds of time instead of 10 rings/spheres!
* All damage gained through old special stages is converted to special stage damage! As a consequence, the special spikeball has no need to be special anymore.
* Made emerald gaining function be based on special stage number rather than gained emeralds!
* Consistency with...
NiGHTS SPECIAL STAGES:
* Spheres now flash in bonus time. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452590553100713984/srb20032.gif
* Sphere and ring mapthingnums are now less fucked up in 'em. (Rings are 300, same as usual, while Spheres are now 1706 replacing NiGHTS Wings.)
SPECIAL STAGES IN GENERAL:
* useNightsSS is now dead. Each individual special stage is now assessed for NiGHTS-mode behaviour based on maptol & TOL_NIGHTS.
* CRAWLA HONCHO\n CAN NOW BE\n SUPER CRAWLA HONCHO end tally modification now also includes a mini-tutorial on turning super. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452844894113759233/srb20036.gif
* SONIC GOT A CHAOS EMERALD? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452623869497573386/srb20034.gif
NiGHTS NON-SPECIAL STAGES:
* Colour Chips and Star Chips! Replaces Spheres and Rings of NiGHTS Special Stages.
* Colour Chips turn yellow in bonus time.
* Ideya!
* Its own "drowning" music!
* All of the object types for Dream Hill.
* GIF: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452844894113759233/srb20036.gif
RANDOM BS:
* Turn super with the spin button instead of the jump button!
* Followmobj now correctly set with P_SetTarget instead of pointer assignment.
* Emerald hunt uses new sprites!
* Made unlock noise different from emblem gain noise! (It's the CRAWLA HONCHO CAN NOW TURN yadda yadda sound from S3K now.)
Move old fix for too large maps having rendering issues from R_CheckBBox to OpenGL's HWR_CheckBBox
From what I know, this effects at least Aerial Garden and Seraphic Skylands
* Facestabber statues, of both the suspicious and non-suspicious kind.
* New object type for the end of grabbable chains.
* I moved my compilation .bat file to my Releases folder, so it should .gitignore .bat's.
* Random extra stuff.
* Blue diagonal springs, because that gap is very, very odd.
* Improved A_SpawnFreshCopy.
* Tweaked P_LookForEnemies for consistency's sake. (Previously, it was impossible to make a spring that could neither be homing-attacked or attraction-shotted.)
* Behaves a bit differently to the one in DSZres.pk3.
* Can now punch DSZ mines!
* Also has mapthingnum 126 instead of 610.
* Some other mapthingnum changes.
* DSZ2 stalagmite is now 1009, formerly 999.
* Big DSZ gargoyle is now 1011, formerly 1009.
* Make the MF_PAIN stuff ONLY depend on mass, using the bottom 8 bits for the type and the custom sound in the upper ones.
* A bunch of cleanup of random other stuff, including an unused Deton state and an unused Jetty type's sprite.
* Made Facestabbers take two hits and have associated pain/death animations. No other changes, just wanted to make sure THIS was done.
* Move Bubblebuzz-related stuff to go alongside the secret badniks and etc.
* MF2_INVERTAIMABLE. Inverts whether P_LookForEnemies can get at; replaces a hardcoded thingy.
* MF_PAIN and MF_MISSILE now support setting damagetype via their Mass parameter. The two existing conflicts - the fuse setting for the grenade weapon ring and the Cybrakdemon napalm bomb - had these moved to other free parameters.
* A_ConnectToGround is EXTREMELY useful for palmtrees and stuff.
* Some other, relatively hacky A_ functions.
* (Unrelated) Remove the need for a "Mario block mode" for the token by making it natively compatible.
* Spikes and their time-offsetting via that Lua script sphere made. Also allow for wallspikes to do it via their angle/360.
I don't fully understand this, but it's what software does and it fixes the issue of the lighting in DSZ3. Also don't need the extra call to R_Prep3DFloors.
Transformation based on screen space would make sense if we didn't want anything in the world to effect the sprites.
This should allow sprite splitting and sorting of sprites with level geometry easier.
stransform is no longer needed.
Solid walls *can* be cut
Fix issues with water and fog FOFs not cutting each other out correctly
Fix Fog colourmap and lighting setting that is done here.
Remove HWR_SplitFog
There is currently a bug with FF_DOUBLESHADOW (that also exists in software) but has a larger impact here. When 2 FF_DOUBLESHADOW lights are directly stacked on each other the bottom one has its height set incorrectly. This causes all the Fog in the timed gravity flipping section of ERZ2 to be drawn and it looks really bad.
This reverts commit 121fcd8369.
The reason I am reverting this is because the last commit actually fixes the *old* screenshot functionality, as the screen is being drawn back onto the buffer after they're swapped in the "real" size. Meaning the old function actually works perfectly fine now.
They still aren't perfect, but now they are at least not quite so obviously just translucent polygons over the level. A mixture between partially modulating the background colours and adding the fog colour. Notably white fog blocks look like they're brightening what's behind them.
Additive was also setting noalphatest before, can probably decide that depending on what it needs anyway. I don't think it's currently used anyway.
Sorts all translucent sprites and MD2s so they're drawn after all the opaque ones. Fixes most of the observable issues between translucent MD2s and opaque sprites/MD2s.
Only use glCopyTexImage2D when first creating the screen texture, use glCopyTexSubImage2D anytime after that as it does not define a new texture each time.
Flushing of the screen textures has been implemented for when the screen size changes (so that the screen textures don't stay at a wrong size) and the game is closed, I believe they would leave a memory leak before.
The Far clipping plane did not need to be nearly as high as it was, the new value is 32768, which I suspect is about how far software can render before it completely falls apart.
It is desirable to increase the near clipping plane to between 6-10, but it can introduce more issues with close geometry not being drawn when the player or camera is scaled or viewheight is set to MIN in first person view. It would also stop sprites from being drawn ever so slightly too early, but this isn't too much of an issue and isn't too noticeable with those values. Might look into scaling near clipping plane in accordance to camera scale in the future.
The reason for wanting to increase the near clipping plane is because the small value can cause very noticeable Z-fighting where there shouldn't be on older GPU's, usually Intel ones, that don't support 24-bits for the depth buffer.
- controllable strengths between 0-31 for COLORMAP lump like before
- arbitrary colour indices in the palette via TRANSMAP lumps, with strengths 0-9
- exposed to Lua as v.fadeScreen(color, strength)!
* Remove last vestiges of V_STATICPATCH.
Additionally, place some optimisations in both software and OpenGL; in particular one has been added for when all of back and front sector (floor and ceiling) is sky: since everything is "open" anyway, we can simply the usual checks involved.
Thankfully it was really just a copy+paste of the code I already tinkered with for the normal ceiling sky based thok barriers, but tweaked for floors instead
* Completely redid how splitscreen works, with eventual support for quads. Squish per-player stuff automatically into the right places! Works in GL, associated flag kills V_SPLITSCREEN.
* Seriously update the lives-drawing function for all gametypes, with strings that replace the lives number whenever it's missing (deprecates SKINNAMEPADDING).
* Improved how the nosshack works, alongside many other refactorings.
* Update all the other V_DrawCroppedPatch calls to match the new behaviour.
* Fix the OGL version of V_DrawCroppedPatch to match the new behaviour.
(To justify my changes: It's not exposed to Lua, and the function signature was a mess. This way it's easier to mentally map how it would work.)
Also removed the + 1 from newtime, since there was never really any need for it. It just offset the interpolation so it went like (1 -> 2] instead of [1 -> 2), so you never saw the base appearance for each frame except at the end of any frames interpolating to it
Changed DrawMD2Ex's duration/tics type to INT32 so -1 comparisons work, probably want to change the signs elsewhere too but this is fine for now
ATI_RAGE_PRO_COMPATIBILITY isn't used, and was disabled in r_minigl.c (the only other file that mentioned it) anyway. So let's get rid of support for it!
Draw Textures and Flats that have holes in them like a solid polygon so they use the depth buffer and don't need to be sorted
Disable all linear filtering on textures and flats that have holes in them, the linear filtering introduces translucency into the textures where the edges are. Leaving them with either a black border, or causing pixels behind the slightly translucent areas to not be drawn. Doesn't apply to sprites and the HUD as they are always already sorted properly.
Make the Alpha Testing more strict on non-translucent blend modes. This makes it so any transparency below 0.5 is discarded instead. Would make anything that is blended and has holes in it look slightly better, only the HUD and MD2s where the texture has holes are effected currently.
Set TF_TRANSPARENT on flat texture flags when there are holes in the texture.
Minor fix to make sure MD2s always set the right blend mode
