With this change the code matches the comment. While most packet frames
are renderer frames, we must not take the render frame time into account
when calculating the average time spend processing the packet frames. I
dont's think that this change makes any measureable difference since the
packet frame time is just a very small fraction of the renderer frame
time.
I guess that these calls were added since dlopen() might ignore the
global LD_LIBRARY_PATH if EUID != UID. In Yamagi Quake II this isn't
a problem because we're enforcing EUID == UID in main() and don't use
LD_LIBRARY_PATH anyways.
These calls broke the jack audio server and maybe some other programs.
The problem was debugged by @ScrelliCopter. This commit closes issue
#270.
* Take the cache line roundings into account when allocating a hunk.
* Use size_t were apropriate.
* remove some unnecessary and likely broken calls.
Another case of: "How could this ever work"?
We need to reset the avgrenderframetime and avgpacketframetime variables
when we recalculate the average times spend rendering frame and / or
processing package frames. Otherwise the result will be much too high,
leading to lost frames down below. I wonder why nobody complained about
this until now.
While at it lower the security margin from 2% to just 1%. On the one
hand we need a small security margin, because Quake II is not that
precise and out average times spend may be too low. On the other hand
the margin must not be too large, because the bigger the margin is the
bigger is the risk of missing frames... Both 2% and 1% is very small,
in fact often they don't even make a difference because of float ->
int conversations. For example 16 * 0,02 = 0,32 -> cut to 0. But there
are some extrem cases were it matters and my empirical testing showed
that 1% is slighty better then 2%. At least on my system. An it's
better to f*ck up the timing for a small number of frames than missing
a frame. A broken timing is hard to recognize, a missed frame is much
more annoying.
In issue #296 it was pointed out that the menu shows ogg_shuffle
always as disabled, even if it's set to 1. This was an oversight,
the menu code was still checking the ogg_squence cvar removed in
the big OGG/Vorbis refactoring. Update it to match reality.
@DanielGibson pointed out that _SC_PAGESIZE itself is too big,
_SC_PAGESIZE - 1 is correct. Also apply a small performance
optimization by querying _SC_PAGESIZE only once.
This prevents gibs and debris being easily destroyed with the rocket
launcher but leaves enough room for the entities being destroyed by
elevators, doors and the like if necessary.
The gibs and debris per frame must be limited to prevent server mem
map overflows. Until now debris and gibs were handled the same, the
debris spawned by rockets and grenates could prevent the actual gibs
of the killed monster from spawning.
Before this change 20 entities were spawned at max. Now up tp 40
enties can be spawned. This needs some testings.
Fixes issue 323.
A long time ago in 2b4f223 I introduced a small logic change to the
handling of stacked entities. If two entities were standing on each
other the original code set the movement speed of the upper entity
to 0. It would be pushed or dragged by the lower entity. I changed
that in way that the upper entity got the same speed as the lower
entity. With that change it wasn't pushed or dragged but moving on
it's own. I hoped to fix some of the 'elevator hurts player or monster'
bugs.
That hope was wrong, at a later time we quirked all elevators that hurt
the player. Additionally the change lead to physics bugs if entities are
standing on high speed elevators (more than 200 units per seconds). So
revert it.
The actual fix was already committed as part of 69b6e5a. This is just a
little cleanup commit, mainly for documentation purposes.
This closes#320.
When killing the enforcer with one shot (instead of damaging him first
without killing, which will switch to the bloody skin), the skin wasn't
changed. Now it is.
1) Do not increment the frame rate returned by SDL by 1. Incrementing
is unnessecary, more or less up to date versions on Nvidias, AMDs
and Intels GPU driver on relevant platform return an value that's
either correct or rounded up to next integer. And SDL itself also
rounds up to the next integer. At least in current versions. In fact,
incrementing the value by one is harmfull, it messes our internal
timing up and leads to subtile miss predictions. Working around that
in frame.c would add another bunch of fragile magic... So just do
it correctly. If someone still has broken GPU drivers or SDL versions
that are rounding down the could set vid_displayrefreshrate.
2) The calculation of the 5% security margin to pfps in frame.c was
wrong. It didn't take into account that rfps can be slightly wrong
in the first place, e.g. 60 on an 59.95hz display. Correct it by
comparing against rfps including the margin and not the plain value.
Until now the server just called remove() to delete the servers state
from the HDD. That was fine on Linux were UTF-8 is used but failed
silently on Windows in case that the working dir path had some Unicode
characters. Replace remove() by Sys_Remove(), on Linux it's just a
wrapper around remove() on Windows it does a UTF8->UTF-16 conversion
and calls _wremove(). This fixes issue 318.
After some pondering I realised that the changes was stupid. It
introduces some new subtile bugs, for example in some cases SDL
still rounds 59.95hz down to 59hz...
In the old world GLimp_GetRefreshRate() was called once at renderer
startup. Now in the new world with SDL 2.0 only it's called every frame
and thus the target framerate git increased by one every frame... That
lead to subtile timin problem in case that the vsync is enabled.
While here remove the hack added for some Windows GPU drivers by AMD.
Older versions returned 59 on 59.95hz displays, leading to small timing
problems. This is fixed in newer version so we don't need to work around
it. Removing the hack gives us somewhat more overall timing precision.
If someone really needs the hack vid_displayrefresh can be set to 60 to
get the old behaviour.
Until now we just called OGG_Stop() as soon as we read the last samples
from a Vorbis files. OGG_Stop() flushed all unplayed samples (about 12
seconds of playback) from the OpenAL playback queue... Instead just set
our internal state of STOPPED, open the next file and be done.
Make sure that the window is destroyed at gl renderer shutdown and
recreated by the soft renderer. Don't deinitialize SDL in the
softrenderer, that's done by vid.c. And make sure that we start the soft
renderer with a clean GL state.
I've chosen the minimal invasive way for this:
* Import miniz and remove -lz linker flags.
* Create a short header minizconf.h roviding everything we need
originally defined by zconf.h and not provided by miniz.
* Replace zlib.h with miniz.h and minizconf.h.
The input system backend was once used in the client and the renderers,
but for some years now it has been an integral part of the client only.
Move it there.
The last commits did some bigger changes to the interaction between the
GL renderers and the client. The code is now SDL 2.0 conformant, window
and context creation are strictly distinct operations. SDL is only
initialized when necessary. Since this broke the client <-> renderer
API, bump it's version.
There a lot of things left to do for dark and cold winter evenings:
* The software renderer implements it's own window handling and
reinitialized SDL whenever vid_restart is called. This is highly
problematic.
* vid_fullscreen is abused to communicate changes to renderer config
throughout the code. That's a very ugly, messy and potential very
problematic hack. But not easy to remove.
* Some funtion calls between the client and the renderer are
unnecessary.
The changes to the client <-> renderer interaction fixed issue #302.
In the old world we deinitialized and reinitialized SDL each time we
restarted or changed the renderer. That would clear the whole GL state.
In the new world we let SDL running and just recreate the windows. In
some cases parts of the old renderers state would leak into the new
renderer, leading to strange problems.
* Sync both files as much as possible.
* Another round of general cleanup.
* Fix stencil tests.
* Simplify gamma handling, hardware gamma is now default.
* Support new client <-> renderer API.
* Another round of general cleanup.
* Introduce gl3_libgl cvar to force a libGL.
* Fix stencil buffer tests.
* Further untangle window <-> context stuff.
The window is now fully at client side, the context at renderer side.
This is another break of the renderer API. And at least GL1 needs to
track this, it's broken for now.
* Even more syntax and code style fixes.
* Rename functions to match their actual purpose.
* Fix comments.
* SDL initialization and shutdown is now client side only. With
SDL 1.2 finally gone there's no need to involve the renderers
in it.
This breaks the client <-> renderer API. I haven't bumped the API
version with this commit because there're likely more changes when
I'm going through the renderer side of things. The VID backend also
needs a lot of love...
It might be a good idea to move this SDL backend files into the client
and rename them. We'll decide that at a later time.
* Some globals could be made static.
* Add comments were appropriate.
* And format the file to one coding stile. What is so hard with
keeping to one style?! MY IDE is even able to interfere the
style from existing code...
FreeBSD has supported printing backtraces for years. The API is the same
as on Linux, the only difference is that libexecinfo must be linked as a
seperate library. Since the last FreeBSD version with backtrace support
(FreeBSD 9.3) went out of support some time ago unconditionally enable
the printing.
I've used _wfopen_s() because it's newer and the older variants are said
to throw warning when build with MSVC. But apparently Windows XP hasn't
got that symbol... So just use the normal _wfopen(), MSVC is unsupported
anyways. The may or may not enough to restore Win XP compatibility.
Until now, likely since we first introduced OGG/Vorbis playback 9 years
ago, in about 50% of all cases OGG_PlayTrack() was never called if
cd_shuffle was set 1, resulting in missing background music. Add the
missing call. :)
I wonder why I didn't catch this in sunday. For some reason a "make
clean ; make" cycle was necessary. Maybe a corner case that the header
dependencies didn't catch?
