This is a less intrusive variant of the old Key_ClearState() function.
When the refresher is restarted or the menu is left, this function is
called to mark all keys as "up". That works around some corner cases
where a key is still marked "down" and thus the first stroke is detected
as a repetition.
- Handling of key combinations like Alt + Return or Shift + Escape
clearly belong into the frontend. Now that the client won't clear
the keystates any more it's save to handle them there.
- The 'force_centerview' command belongs into the client move stuff.
I guess it was part of the backend sinces it messes with mouse
handling. Since the renderer is now part of the client that's not
necessary anymore.
- One can argue that +mlook and -mlook belong into client move stuff,
too. But since we need there calculations in the backend anyway,
leave things like they are.
Until now Quake 2 used keysyms aka key events for everything, including
the console and the chat window. Since key events don't reflect if the
shift key is pressed, Quake 2 needed to convert the lower case chars to
upper case char through a hardcoded table. That lead to the problem that
the keyboard layout was utilised for lower case characters only.
Solve this long standing problem by refactoring both the input backend
and the frontends Key_Event() funktion to use character events for most
input subsystem. Character events are generated by SDL and send the
real character.
An example:
- On german keyboards shift and . is : but Quake 2 generated <.
- Now a character event with : is generated and used.
There are at least 3 disadvantes by this approach:
- The backend needs to tell the frontend if a normal character (ASCII
32 to 126) or a special character is send. Only normal characters can
be treated as character events.
- There may be some differences between the binding of a key seen
through the console and seen by the game. If you have a german
keyboard and bind :, the game may not react to :. This can be worked
around by editing the config file.
- Users may need to rebind some keys.
Please note that Quake 2 can handle ASCII characters only!
In the old times the refresher was a stand alone DLL. For performance
reasons and to avoid laggy input parts of the input system were
implemented in this DLL. Now that the renfresher is part of the main
binary and initialized at client startup we can remove most of the
abstractions between input system, refresher and client. Also the
input system can be treated as a normal subsystem.
Changes:
- Untangle the VID_* stuff and the IN_* stuff. The functions
called by function pointers in in_state are now called directly
and 'struct in_state' was removed.
- Remove input.h and rename the appropriate backend functions.
There's no longer a need for an abstraction layer between the
input backend and the input frontend.
- Move input initialization and shutdown into CL_Init(), like it's
already done for all other subsystems.
- Remove Key_ClearStates(). I'm pretty sure that's a left over from
the old Win 9x backends and unnecessary.
- General cleanup.
Historicaly this functions were used to adjust the cd music volume. In
YQ2 they were converted to enable or disable the cd music. Change their
name to match their current purpose.
This commit has some drawbacks:
- It's rather hacky. The Quake II menu is crap and was never intended
to be scaled. My approach was to add scaling to most of the generic
functions and handle all the special cases in the non generic parts
of the menu. A better solution would require to rewrite at least
parts of the menu. And like it's said in qmenu.c: I won't do that.
- Some menu elements are aligned to the right, others to the left. In
many places magic numbers are used to align elements by hand. This
makes it very hard to impossible to implement a scaling logic which
works in all situations. With this approach most menus look good up
to at least a scaling factor of 3. Especially the "Player Setup"
menu is very problematic at small disalignements are unavoidable.
Please note, that only the menu system itself is scaled. Some elements
like the the "Quit Screen" or the loading plaque are still missing. They
will be done in a later commit.
This change is needed to break a otherwise fatal cycle:
- The renderer calls VID_MenuInit()
- VID_MenuInit() calls SCR_GetMenuScale()
- SCR_GetMenuScale() relies on gl_menuscale which is still
uninitialized at this time.
This fixes a long standing and until now unnoticed bug with negative
colored dynamic lights. Since we never set the OpenGL renderer as out
renderer, remaining softrenderer code was executed and the corresponding
effects never rendered. This manifested itself in missing darkness
around the "gravity well" in rogue.
Newer jpeg versions (I guess starting with 9) define an macro
"VERSION", colliding with ours. While wie could #undef it, take
the less hacky route and rename it.
Without this define newer versions of jpeg define a type "bool" as char,
while the MinGW headers define it as "unsigned short". Automake should
have detected that, but...
The code used build fine on my workstation, since Mesa3D has the
required macros since ever. But on Windows gl.h is still limited
to OpenGL 1 (really?).
MSAA was a long wanted and often requested feature. Just set set the
desired number of samples with gl_msaa_samples and do a vid_restart.
This code is based upon work done in Hecatomb.
Input devices should send key events and nothing more. The ability to
add commands into the input buffer was used by the joystick code
(removed long time ago) and as a dirty hack to work around limitations
of DirectInput.
This function is only used in cl_view.c, so no need for external
declaration. Reimplement it in a sane and on all platform 64 bit
clean way. This allows us to finally remove the horible INT macro.
Without this change the width of the render windows was required to be a
multiple of 8, making it unable to use strange resolutions like 1366x768.
This change is based upon an idea submitted by "tmcp" in pull request
27.
Makefile is adjusted, it compiles and works mostly, but
* For some reason (bug in SDL_GetRelativeMouseState() ?)
mouse input doesn't work properly.. it seems to be bound
to window borders, even if input is grabbed
* some keys can't be used anymore because there's no SDLK_*
for them anymore (gotta find out if this is important)
* Maybe some of the changes need cleanup
Those extensions have become part of ARB about 15 years ago and most if
not all video cards still in use should support the ARB versions. I
believe that at least parts of this code were disfunctional.
This removes the need to define the old qgl function names to the
official OpenGL names. The OpenGL functions are now called directly
without any abstraction.
With this change the "refresh" make target doesn't any longer exists.
It was merged into the "client" target. One will need a "make clean"
before building yQ2 after this change.
This is a manual merge of Hecatomb Q2 ref b8952d5. Manual since git
couldn't do an automerge for some reasons... Notable changes are:
- QGL function pointers are removed, libGL is linked directly
- The OpenGL log framework is removed. It was disfunctional
- The gl_driver cvar is finaly gone
This change is currently untested on Windows and OS. There should
be no problems but a better Makefile integration of libGL is needed.
Normally setting gl_mode cvar would result in VID_LoadRefresh because
of vid_ref being "modified". After removing vid_ref out of the picture
it will "modify" vid_fullscreen to replicate the same behaviour.
Variable "name" (who used to hold refresh dll name) is now left unused
All references to vid_ref cvar has been taken out ...

Testing showed that after the last round of sound changes FreeBSD is the
only platform with distorted sound when s_volume is set too high. I'm
pretty sure that it's caused by a bug in the OSS backend of openal-soft.
I'll need to analyze this more and maybe write a problem report. Since
FreeBSD users should be experienced enough to lower the volume when
there are problem (there's a FAQ in our README!), use the same default
volume on all platforms.
If the volume is set too high the OpenAL backend preamplification leads
to overdriven sound samples. It's not quite understandable to me why
that only happen on platforms other than Linux (maybe a bug in OpenAL?)
and there's not much we can do against it besides reducing the volume.
As the side note: Simmilar behavior can be seen at least in ioQ3 and
dhewm3...
This cvar is a last resort if all other measures to prevent overdriven
preamplifation fail. Setting it to lower value than 1.0 limits the
overall dynamic range, so sound quality is lost. This is especially
hearable when low volume samples are encountered, like the shotgun
combined with the silencer.
The client uses float values between 0.0 and 1.0 to represent the volume
of sound samples. This is the range required by OpenAL. But the generic
part of the sound system multiplied the raw float value with 374 and
clamped it to a full integer. That worked by luck withth the OpenAL
backend but broke at least the silencer powerup. Solve this problem by
adding a new field "float oal_vol" to the channel_t struct and use it to
pass the raw float value to OpenAL.
This fixes issue #18
Since OpenAL 1.15 AL_GAIN has much more weight than before. That leeds
to overdriven effect samples unless the volume control is set to a very
low level. With this change volume can be set to a high level without
distorting. But there's one problem. A division by 2 is to low to rule
distortion out and by 3 the game is a little bit quieter than before. A
value of 2.5 would be optimal but is not applicable since the volume is
represented by an integer. I've choosen 3 to be aon the save side.
As a side note: This problem was very less worse on Linux than on
Windows and FreeBSD. Maybe Linux guys need to pump there volume up
to compensate this work-around.
For ia64 it's necessary to define int as long long instead of long int. I know
this for a fact because pointers that were encoded as long int in my LLVM and
CLIPS bridge would fail horribly when passed out of clips back into LLVM. long
long fixed it.
If "horplus" is set, the "fov" cvar is interpreted as the horizontal FOV
in a 4:3 screen, and is adapted automatically to the current screen
aspect ratio accordingly. If not set, use the old Vert- approach.
In addition, "horplus" can also be set from the video menu by selecting
the "Auto" option for aspect ratio, which also resets the FOV value to the
standard 90 degrees.
Finally, add a 5:4 aspect ratio (1280x1024) and correct the 16:9 angle
slightly.
These are the code changes and Makefile changes necessary to build and
run Yamagi Quake II on Max OS X. OS X 10.6 or higher is required, older
version may work but we cannot guarantee it. The documentation will be
added in another commit. This patch was contributed by W. Beser, I made
only some small cosmetical changes.
