- 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.
the screenshot command now supports the filetype as optional argument
(just "screenshot" will use tga like before):
"screenshot png" will save the screenshot as PNG, same with jpg, png
and tga.
For jpg, you can even specify the quality, like "screenshot jpg 90"
(the Quality is between 1 and 100, like with libjpeg).
To reduce duplicated code, I addeed Vid_WriteScreenshot() to refimport_t
and implement most of it in the client (vid.c).
The renderer still fetches the raw image data from OpenGL or whatever
and then calls re.VidWriteScreenshot() which will write it to disk in
the format requested by the user.
the arguments were not used anyway, and returning true/false is clearer
than returning -1 (for error) or sth else (which has no deeper meaning
anyway).
Also:
* PrepareForWindow() can now return -1 if there's an error
* suppress some warnings in Makefile
* fix error for building ref_gl.dylib on OSX
So in all code in the reflib (ref_gl.dll/.so/.dylib) calls to
ri.Con_Printf(print_level, fmt, ...) have been replaced by calls to
R_Printf(print_level, fmt, ...) which uses ri.Com_VPrintf().
This is a slighty revised version of id Software original code. Icculus
code may have some advantages on broken drivers or underpowered GPUs.
Today it's just a performance hook. This is a first step in fixing #147.
In Linux distributions, having the executable depend on the right
libraries and arrange for them to be installed is straightforward,
and there's a lot of infrastructure for tracking which library
version a particular executable needs, including making sure we have
a version that contains all of the symbols that were used. Loading
libopenal at runtime defeats that infrastructure.
The ability to substitute a different-but-compatible libopenal,
or operate with reduced functionality without libopenal, might
still be desirable for generic/portable binary releases.
The CMake build system already linked the executable to
${OPENAL_LIBRARY} anyway, so it is already a hard dependency in that
build system.
It's apparently not enough to clear key repeats, we'll need to clear
the down states too. Without this Alt stays pressed after toggeling
fullscreen trhough Alt-Enter.
No, this is not a rage quit but the result of a long discussion. There
are several reasons for us to drop OS X support:
- OS X support was always more or less hacky. For example is was never
really integrated into the build system and some features like the
OpenAL sound backend never worked well.
- The OS X support never grew into the new world based upon SDL2.
- It was broken since at least Lion which was released 4 years ago.
- None of the developers has a Mac or plans to buy one. Supporting
a software for a platform not used by the developers is more or
less impossible.
- And despite several appeals no one from the OS X community ever
stept up and send patches.
Removed are:
- Makefile support
- The OpenAL quirks
- The Cocoa bindings
- The framworks
Not removed is:
- Savegame support
- Memory management support
- Platform detection
- OpenGL and SDL includes
So, if someone steps up and does a modern, fully integrated port based
upon SDL2 we're happy to merge it back. The requirements are:
- It must be a clean port, without any hacks
- Full build system integration must be provided
- The port must be maintained even after it was merged. At every release
binaries must be build, API / ABI changes with new OS X versions must
be tracked.
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.
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.
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.
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.
VID_LoadRefresh with no parameters
VID_LoadRefresh doesn't need a DLL name (because there isn't one)
Rename reflib_active to ref_active
Reference to client input callbacks
All declarations are at the beginning of the file
Full reimplementation of VID_Shutdown
VID_Shutdown does all the refresher cleanup
Reimplementation of VID_FreeReflib
Implementation of VID_LoadRefresh
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 ...
