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.
Retexturing support is now always on (you can still switch it off with
the gl_retexturing CVAR), as we don't have the additional libjpeg
dependency anymore.
stb_image is used for tga, jpg and the newly supported png, so the
old tga and jpeg loading code has been removed.
I furthermore cleaned up the somehow messy and possibly slightly broken
retexturing selection code in R_FindImage()
Check and use GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two and use it if present to allow using all textures unscaled. This makes a huge visual improvement since most skins are not power-of-two textures.

Okay, I tried to solve this issue the gentle way. But apparently it's
not enough to track if a key is down. We must consider if the key is
just down or if it's already repeating... Therefor raise the white flag
and just put the original logic back in place. This may fix issue #57.
When we're building command we must make sure, that all command for
one keystroke will have the timestamp in microseconds. If that's not
the case the command may end up in differend server frames, breaking
things subtile. This may be part of bug #57, but I'm not sure.
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.
This works around a bug in SDL 1.2 were the SDL_EnableUNICODE() state is
reset to false after the window is reacreated. Setting it in the render
backend ensures that no keystrokes are lost. This fixes#56.
- 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.
In rogue's RHANGAR1 the turret didn't blow up the ceiling when friendly fire
was off, because in ClientTeam() both entities were set to "" (no team),
but OnSameTeam() just did a strcmp() instead of checking this special
case (no team).
We check this now and thus it works. Hooray.
I also refactored ClientTeam() to take the buffer instead of using a
static one and to be static (it's only called by OnSameTeam() anyway).
The savegame table entry for this function was invalid, but it doesn't
need to be saved anyway, so I just deleted it from the table.
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 reverts commit 70eef55ab5.
It was premature to merge this commit into HEAD. Maybe we'll try again
one day, but only if a complete and fully working patch with build
system integartion is provided.
COM_FileExtension() was parsing strings from beginning to end, bailing
out as soon as '.' was found and treating everything thereafter as the
file extension. That behavior caused problem with relatives pathes like
models/monsters/tank/../ctank/skin.pcx. The new implementation uses
strrchr() to determine the last '.'.
This fixes issue #48. The bug was introduced in e07294b which replaced
hand rolled code with COM_FileExtention().
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 integrates the backends for the pandora, gcw and gph written by
Scott "Pickle" Smith. Only the code itself is supplied, but no build
system integration.
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.
On some systems SDL_SetRelativeMouseMode() can fail under several
circumstances. For example:
- Security software is blocking acces to raw input.
- XInput 2 is unavailable.
- SDL2s configure script has messed up.
Detect those situations and reposition the mouse manually to the
window center after having read it's current state. This fixes
issue #34 an #35.
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.
- Remove the keyq. This linked list was used to work around limitations
of the good, old DirectInput API. It's not necessary with SDL.
- Inline some functions to others where apropriate and remove unused
or unnecessary functions.
- Reorder functions into groups.
- Update comments.
This commits still misses necessary changes to the frontend. They'll be
done in subsequential commits.
We had dual precision since ever on 64 bit unixoid systems and it "just
worked". So there should be no reason to still force Windows down to
single precision. The performance impact should be negligible.
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.
Pressing two mouse buttons at the same time didn't work properly, only
one had effect, e.g. when pressing LMB to walk forward and RMB to shoot
(when bound like that...)
Not sure why that was, but the old mouse button handling (inherited from
the super-old win32 backend where it was supposed to work around bugs in
WinAPI or whatever, where sometimes there were two mouse button presses
in one event or something) was unnecessarily complicated anyway so I
replaced it with something simpler.
Make non global functions static, give some better names to variables,
remove unneccessary special cases and remove some superflous functions.
Form most - if not all - users this changes should be a no-op.
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.
The quake2 binary now gets -DSDL2 in the CFLAGS, so Win32/OSX can
use different #include paths accordingly.
This is also (ab)used to print which SDL version is used on startup.
Don't use this for anything else, use
#if SDL_VERSION_ATLEAST(2, 0, 0)
instead.
I haven't tested building on/for Win32 or OSX, there may be more
work to do.
Furthermore I added Copyright-Info about CalculateGammaRamp()
in refresh.c (it's from SDL2)
* Fix input issues (mouse-wheel and mouse input)
* SDL2 is not default anymore in the Makefile (use WITH_SDL2=yes)
* If SDL2 is enabled, CD audio is disabled (SDL2 doesn't support
that - use OGG/Vorbis instead)
* Small fix to make it compile with SDL1.2 again
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.
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 ...
Revert "change several strcat calls to Q_strlcat calls"
This reverts commit ab879f1bc7.
Revert "change (v)sprintf calls to (v)snprintf calls"
This reverts commit b46e210d76.
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.
This check involved an uninitialized pointer, so it never worked. It
could lead to crashes in some situations, especially when clients tried
to reconnect after a manual map change on the dedictated server.
Scott S. pointed out that some the qglTexParameterf calls should be
qglTexParameteri. I don't know if all this changes are correct (I'm
an openGL noob) but they shouldn't make thinks worse and "works for me".
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.
Defining "qboolean" to something other than an enum changes the size of
some structs. That in turn breaks compatiblity with mods that use the
enum define. With this change the addons (tested with xatrix and rogue)
are running on OS X. Many thanks to my sister for lending me her
Macbook.
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.
This sanity check caused a too early exit of the function if the player
stood directly in front of a wall and fires the blaster or hyper
blaster. Therefor the wall impact effect wasn't drawn. This commit
fixes issue #6. Many thanks to svdijk for narrowing this problem down to
somewhere between 3.00 and 4.00.
This is necessary since non-base OpenGL functions can't be connected by
calling the standard GetProcAddress() on Windows. To archive this the
old qwglGetProcAdress() is renamed into GetProcAdressGL() and a new
function pointer qwglGetProcAdress is introduced. On unixoid System it's
NULL and on Windows connected to wglGetProcAddress(). If it's NULL the
system wide function is called, if not the function Pointer is used.
To archive this, 3 new functions Sys_GetProcAddress(), Sys_LoadLibrary()
and Sys_FreeLibrary() were added to abstract the library loading code
into a platform independend API.
Using a float number as version number is a bad idea. Correct this long
standing problem by changing it to a string. If we ever want to compare
version numbers, 2 integer constants "MAJOR_VERSION" and "MINOR_VERSION"
should be added.
This update brings some minor bugfixes, especially for big endian
platforms and LLP64 systems like 64 bit Windows. The support for
encrypted ZIP archives was removed. This is a no-op change, since
there was no way to pass the password to uncrypt. Without the
uncrypt code Yamagi Quake II can be distributed in some countries
with special laws for cryptographic software. The LICENSE was
updated to the most recent version of the INFO-ZIP license.
This change allows the usage of old mods without renaming their game
lib. This is applied to windows only because the few Linux mods out
there are broken since a long time due to incompatible changes in libc
and the kernel. Requested by Victor Sergeevich.
qhost was a proprietery management application for Quake II dedicated
servers. Since we don't know if the code is still working and most
likely no one uses it anymore, remove it. This war requested by Daniel.
This was requested by Daniel. While partitional installations were
working, they are another distinction between Linux and Windows and
useless. Everyone should have the ~350MiB for a full installation.
And full installations are much faster.
