Until now the video menu enforced:
* fov set to 90 and horplus set to 1
* fov set to something other than 90 and horplus to 0
If the user hat configured another configuration through the console the
menu would reset it, even if only unrelated changes are applied. With
this change horplus is ignored by the menu and only fov is altered. The
rationale behind this is that most users want horplus enabled and all
others can disable it through the console.
This is believed to fix issue #225.
The internal order of the items is determined by Menu_AddItem() and
not the y position. Without this change the cursor didn't jump from
item to item, but from the mode list box to the aspect list box,
skipping the brightness slider.
- Bump vid_gamma to 1.2 in both GL1 and GL3. A default value of 1.0 is
too dark.
- Lower gl3_overbrightbits to 1.3, the previous value of 1.5 was too
bright. This can be seen in later units, for example on mine1 some
textures blended into white.
- Lower gl3_particle_size to 40. A value of 60 may be okay, but with
gl3_particle_fade_factor 1.2 the particles take up too much screen
estate in close range combat.
With this changes GL3 looks (at least for me) nearly the same as GL1
rendered through the removed multitexturing path.
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 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 ...
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.
