this happens when you just copypaste and adapt r_lefthand
also did some minor changes to R_AliasDrawModel in the soft renderer
to make sure alias[xy]scale is reset properly in the early out cases
At high 'fov' values the weapon looked quite distorted.
Now it's rendered with an independent FOV, which looks better.
Note that the 'fov' cvar sets fov_x, while this is based on fov_y
(which is calculated from fov_x), so it's indeed different values:
r_gunfov seems to correspond to fov 90.
We use r_gunfov 80 as default, because it looks better.
The old code was working only when the client was connected to a local
server. The 'newgame' executed by the menu expands to a 'map', loading
a map ends in SV_InitGame() which calls CL_Drop() on the local client.
That calls CL_Disconnect() and everything is okay.
When the client is already connected to a remote server and no local
server is running the 'map' command spawns a new local server. This
new server thinks "Hey, I'm a new local server and no one is connected
to me. Let's pull the client in!". So it pull the already connected
client onto a new server without disconnecting, smashing it's state.
And everything goes down in flames.
The correct way would be to execute a 'disconnect' right before the
'newgame'. But the 'disconnect' cmd calls CL_Disconnect_f that throws
an ERR_DROP. ERR_DROP is implememted through a longjump(), jumping
around puts the process internal state in ashes... So bite the bullet
and add another hack: Call CL_Disconnect() before executing 'newgame'.
The 'game' command was more or less functional after the last commit.
We just need to reset the initialGame (renamed to userGivenGame) so we
don't revert back to the old game at server disconnect.
When connecting to a multiplayer game that runs a different mod
("game" cvar) than you are, it didn't load the corresponging configs
from the mod, but saved your changes to the config to the mod's config.
Which is doubly useless.
Now when the "game" cvar is changed, the configs are reloaded (from
the right directories for the mod), and when disconnecting the configs
are written, so the changes you did for a mod while playing MP are saved
before game is reset to the game you started with.
The problem was that the cvars were only initialized (with CVar_Get())
if you opened the address book menu.
So if you start (and possibly run) and quit the game /without/ opening
that menu (or at least the "join network server" menu), the game will
not save those cvars to the config when it next writes it.
To prevent this, *always* initialize the cvars in M_Init().
On Unix platforms unicode is implemented through UTF-8 which is
transparent for applications. But on Windows a UTF-16 dialect is
used which needs alteration at application side. This wrapper is
another step to unicode support on Windows, now we can replace
fopen() by a function that converts our internal UTF-8 pathes to
Windows UTF-16 dialect.
This is a noop for Unix platforms. The Windows build is broken,
the compiler errors out in shared.h. This will be fixed in a
later commit.
Caveats:
* fopen() calls in 3rd party code (std_* and unzip) are not replaced.
This may become a problem. We need to check that.
* In the Unix specific code fopen() isn't replaced since it's not
necessayry.
There's no need to exclude directories from search by flags. In fact
the Unix backend has worked nicely for years without it... Sadly we
can't remove the now superfluous 'canhave' and 'musthave' attributes
from Sys_FindFirst() and Sys_FindNext() since they're defined in
shared.h and may be used from custom game DLLs.
Loop 'for ( i = 0; i < 3; i++ )' sets values to vtx[0..2]. So next index must be 3(instead 4) and
loop 'for ( i = 16; i >= 0; i-- )' will set vtx[3..(18*3-1)].

This is mostly the same approach as in GL1. I'm not quite sure if the
software rasterizer can work with all aspects and the like but I wasn't
able to crash it by trying several random resultions.
If too many of these sounds are started in one frame (for example if the
player shoots with the super shotgun into the power screen of a Brain)
things get too loud and OpenAL is forced to scale the volume of several
other sounds and the background music down. That leads to a noticable
and annoying drop in the overall volume.
Work around that by limiting the number of sounds started. 16 was
choosen by empirical testing.
This was so broken... Casting the type of an array to silence a
warning... It worked on x86, of course. But gave a SIGBUS on ARM.
Do it right, cast / copy the content of the array into another
array of the correct type. Yeah.
This fixes issue #231.
There're two possible problems with the calculation of the number of
sound buffers for Vorbis if OpenAL is in use:
* We assume that the (more or less) maximum number buffers is allocated
during map load. This is not correct if in a multiplayer game a lot of
custom models with custom sound connect at a later time.
* 64 buffers (about 3 seconds worth of music) may be too low in some
situations.
Work around this by recalculating the number of buffers if necessary.
We're now reserving about 256 (== 12 seconds) buffers.
This may fix issue #252.
We need to take in account that scaling the characters makes them
bigger, thus they need need to be places depending on the scale and not
at a precaclulated position. This should fix issue #247.
Miscframes are coupled to renderframes and are just checking for
renderer changes (very cheap) and advancing CD audio if implemented.
There's no reason not to that at every frame.
This allows us to implement the global timing without an artificial
brake slowing the game unnecessary down. This is only partial working,
more changes and fixes are coming.
The old framecounter had two problems:
* It measured only the time of the current render frame, not the total
time spend between the last and the current render frame. Therefor the
calculated value was too high.
* It was based upon milliseconds and rather inaccurate.
This new frame counter solves both problems. The total time spend
between two render frames is measured and the measurement done in
microseconds.
There're three modes:
* cl_drawfps 1 displayes the average frame rate calculated over the last
60 frames.
* cl_drawfps 2 displays a nice string with minimal framerate, maximum
framerate and average framerate. All three values are calculated over
the last 60 frames.
* cl_drawfps 3 is the same as number 2 but with a second line showing the
raw values.
TODO:
* Discuss if cl_drawfps should be renamed to cl_showfps. All other
status displays are named cl_show*.
While at it remove several unsused drawing functions.
This is the same as the well known Sys_Milliseconds() but like the name
suggests with microsecond precision. To be used in the upcoming new
framecounter.
For some fucking reason, if you set an unsupported
SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLESAMPLES value on Windows (at least Win10 with Intel GPU
drivers, there 16 is unsupported), creating the Window and OpenGL context
will succeed, but you'll get Microsofts stupid GDI OpenGL software
implementation that only supports OpenGL 1.1.
Before these fixes, the GL3 renderer would just crash and the GL1 renderer
would fail to load, which caused the game to run in the background:
No Window, no Input, but sound was playing..
Now this problem should be handled properly and if initialization fails,
the rendering backend will be considered not working, and it will
try the gl1 backend next, and if that also fails it'll give up and exit
the game.
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.
While here reimplement the same hack for baseq2/players, lost somewhere
on the way. This is just another searchpath f*ckup. For some reasons
paks have a higher priority than plain directories. We do not want that
for the maps.lst and players/ since id Software decided to put updated
versions of them directly into baseq2/...
This closes issue #217.
SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN changes the display resolution if the requested
resolution is different to the actual resultion. SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_
DESKTOP doesn't do that, it places a smaller or bigger render area
somewhere inside the fullscreen area. This is somewhat nicer with modern
high resolution flatscreens.
This commit changes vid_fullscreen 1 from SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN to
SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP. Additional vid_fullscreen 2 is
implemented, it uses SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN to create the fullscreen
area.
TL;DR: Use vid_fullscreen 1 to keep the current resolution or use
vid_fullscreen 2 to switch the resolution.
Implementation details: The whole fullscreen stuff is a horrible mess.
Like generations of hackers before me I'm not desperated enough to clean
it up. GLimp_InitGraphics() is modified to take the fullscreen mode as
an integer and not as a boolean. That's a change to the renderer API.
In GLimp_InitGraphics() the needed SDL fullscreen mode flag is
determined once at the top and just used further down below. That saves
dome SDL1 <-> SDL2 compatibility cruft. IsFullscreen() was modified to
return the actual fullscreen mode and not just if fullscreen is enabled.
if that cvar is set to 1, particles aren't rendered as nice circles, but
as squares, like in the software renderer or in Quake1.
Also documented it in cvarlist.md and fixed some typos there
The model shadows are rendered after all entities are rendered.
This fixes them making entity brushes below them translucent (#194)
The model rendering code used lots of global variables, many of them
totally superfluous (esp. currententity, currentmodel).
I refactored the code to use less global variables (this was at least
partly needed to render the shadows later).
So this looks like lots of changes, but many of them are just using
"entity" instead of "currententity" or "model" instead of "currentmodel"
Like GL1 gl_shadows + gl_stencilshadows: no shadow volumes, but looks
ok apart from standing over edges
The gl_stencilshadows cvar isn't used in GL3, it always uses the stencil
buffer if available (and if gl_shadows != 0)
This still needs performance optimizations: Like the GL1 impl it takes
lots of draw calls per model, it could be done with one per model like
when rendering the actual model.
there have been complaints that those things look too bright, so let
people configure their intensity independently of the general intensity
used for levels, monsters etc.
fixes#189
When applied to y SURF_FLOWING textures are scrolled into the wrong
direction. I guess that in GL1 the offset is also applied to x.
This fixes issue #186.
When the client is paused (either explicit or by entering the menu or
console) the cinematic is paused, too. Therefor no more sound samples
are generated and added to the playback queue, the existing samples are
played over and over again. Until now these samples weren't hearable,
because OpenAL marked them as processed and AL_StreamUpdate() removed
them from OpenALs playback queues. This changed in the previous commit,
now the stay in OpenALs queue and are hearable.
Fix this by calling AL_UnqueueRawSamples() when the menu or console is
entered during cinematic playback.
Newer openal-soft versions changed the way how the processed buffers are
counted when in AL_STOPPED state. Previously only processed buffers were
counted, now all buffers are. Change our unqueue logic to match this new
behavior.
This was debugged and fixed @xorw, I'm just committing the patch. This
closes issue #185.
Resurrect support for render / refresher loadable libraries and use them to implement an experimental OpenGL 3.2 renderer. Please note that the new renderer interface is somewhat different from the original one, old render libraries will NOT work!
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.
Without capping the brightness entity models may fade into pure white
which looks ugly. This can be seen when several flyer fire blaster
bolds onto the player or when multiple barrels are exploding. This
change was suggest by @DanielGibson, I'm just the messenger.
I really don't see why this constraint was ever necessary. It leads to
one line of pixels not rendered either at the bottom or the right edge
of the screen. In GL1 for whatever reasons this line is just black, in
GL3 garbage is drawn.
In SCR_DrawFieldScaled() the HUD scale factor wasn't taken into account
when calculating the screen area affected by the change. Therefor wrong
coordinates were passed to SCR_AddDirtyPoint() and a part of the changed
area wasn't marked dirty, leading to render artifacts.
This bug was present since HUD scaling was first introduced.
the flash should only be drawn in the part of the window where actual
3D rendering happens, not in the borders added if viewsize < 100
(and apparently also for with 1 pixel width if the resolution is odd).
* gl3_particle_size: in GL3 the particles should be a bit bigger because
the particles fade out towards the edge, so I put it in a seperate
CVar
* gl3_intensity: in GL3 the intensity can have any floating point value,
in GL1 only integers, so it gets its own CVar
* gl3_overbrightbits: gl_overbrightbits had to be 1, 2 or 4, in GL3 it
can have any floating point value.
Changed the particle scaling a bit so they look bigger.
One problem was that GL3_Shutdown() called several functions that use
that gl* function pointers - not a good idea if InitContext() failed
and the function pointers are all NULL. So check for that.
Similarly in GL3/R_ShutdownWindow() calling glClear() etc.
Another problem was that R_SetMode() would, if R_SetMode_impl() failed,
try again with a "safe" resolution (640x480 unless we had another
working resolution before) - which is bad if we're already using that
"safe" resolution because then GLimp_InitGraphics() would check mode
and fullscreen and decide it hasn't changed and do nothing and return
true, which would make SetMode() believe everything is fine and
afterwards all hell breaks loose.
This makes the fragment shader faster by skipping lights that haven't
marked this surface in GL3_MarkLights()
This seems to improve performance at least slightly everywhere, but
it really helps *a lot* on integrated intel GPUs like the one on their
Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bride and Haswell CPUs (those are the ones we tested).
adding dot(surfaceNormal, lightToPixelOnSurfaceNormal) to the equation,
should be Phong-y now? Looks good at least.
The Windows AMD legacy driver needed its usual manual padding..
OSX was totally weird.. There were no errors or warnings from OpenGL
at all, but the dynamic lights were just not visible.
After (too long) debugging the shader I figured out that
dynLights[i].lightIntensity was always 1, and thus
'dynLights[i].lightIntensity - distLightToPos - 64' was negative and set
to 0 with max(0, ...).
I still have no idea why that happens, but removing lightIntensity from
the struct, making lightColor a vec4 and using .a for intensity works...
Dynamic lights on normal world brushes work, on brush-based entities
probably not yet properly. For this I need the model matrix in the
shader to transform vertex positions and normals to worldspace
(they already are for world brushes, but not entities that might rotate
and move etc).
Furthermore, while they dynamic lights look nice and smooth they might
need some fine tuning in the shader..
For this to work there are two bigger changes:
* the vertex data for brushes (gl3_3D_vtx_t) now also contains the
vertex normal
- glpoly_t contains array of gl3_3D_vtx_t instead of 7 floats
* 3D shaders now have in vec3 normal, bound to GL3_ATTRIB_NORMAL
* There's a new UBO for light data: uniLights, containing an array of
up to 32 dynamic lights, with data copied from gl3_newrefdef.dlights
..with Radeon 6950 using AMDs legacy driver.
For uploading UBOs it turned out that glBufferData() is faster,
sometimes a lot faster, with several drivers, especially Intel/OSX.
if the lightmap textures are 1024x512 instead of 128x128, all original
Q2 levels will only need one lightmap texture (instead of max 26 or so)
and even maps that needed all 127 (the 128th was the dynamic lightmap)
won't need more than 4.
This should result in less glBindTexture() calls.
(Note: When I wrote "1 lightmap texture" I meant 4, because where the
old renderer dynamically blended the up to 4 lightmaps/surface, I put
them in 4 textures that belong together and are alle passed to and
blended in the fragment shader)
not sure if this is the very best solution..
Every surface can have up to 4 lightmaps.
I now always create 4 lightmaps (in separate textures, so the
corresponding texture coordinates are identical), the "fillers" are
set to 0, so in the shader they won't make a visible difference.
(The shader always adds up lightmaps from 4 textures, but how much
they're actually visible depends on lmScales which also will be set to
0 if "unused")
If all this turns out to be (too) slow, there could be a special case
for surfaces with only one lightmap, I /think/ that's the most common
case by far.
adjusted to new GL3 stuff, of course.
Also, more code for light style/lightmap scale support.
Should probably (maybe) work once we have really have 4 textures
per lightmap id.
(And then of course dynamic lights are still missing)
To be able to test if the game is running portable all checks of the
portable cvar must be done after Cvar_Init(). Instead of redirecting
stdout and stderr as early as possible, delay the redirection right
after Cvar_Init(). After this change the printf() in WinMain() aren't
printed into stdout.txt, but I guess that it isn't a big problem. All
interessting stuff like the search pathes is still there.
Rename fs_portable to portable. It's no longer filesystem specific.
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.
pass both normal texture and lightmap to shader instead of rendering the
level geometry again with the lightmap and GL_BLEND.
This is not done, some translucent surfaces are buggy now and it's only
static lightmaps. For this to work properly I'll need to add some more
shaders with and without lightmaps and use them accordingly.
For example, translucent surfaces (SURF_TRANS33/66) never have
lightmaps, neither to pertubed ones (SURF_DRAWTURB) like water and lava,
but scrolling surfaces (SURF_FLOWING) like elevators do use lightmaps
(as long as they're not also transulcent or perturbed)...
well, seems to work, but once the lightmaps are rendered with the normal
textured faces, maybe the dynamic part can be done in shader?
(Might even look less blocky, because it's not limited to lightmap
resolution then)
that struct can/should be used with gl3state.vao3D which expects data
as 7 floats (x,y,z, s,t, lms,lmt) - this is used for brushes, sprites,
the sky and more (not for models though).
(For rendering brushes the struct isn't used, the data already is in
that format in float arrays)
beams are now rendered, they are used by the BFG and in some levels for
lasers etc
which just called R_PolyBlend().. no idea what that all was about..
and no idea why it happend in 3D mode, it's much easier after
SetGL2D(), then it can share code with GL3_Draw_FadeScreen() and doesn't
need any additional messing with transformation matrices
* The particles look more fuzzy than in old renderer - I think it looks
better this way ;)
* Not sure I keep the way they're rendered - instead of calculating and
passing the distance in GL3_ShutdownShaders() I could set the player
(camera) origin in a UBO and calculate distance (and based on that
the size) in the vertex shader. I could also pass the basic point size
via UBO, it's the same for all particles..
* Deleting shader programs is a lot shorter now and using a loop and
the fact that consecutive fields of the same type in a struct have
the same memory layout as an array of that type.
Now I can just add a gl3ShaderInfo_t to gl3state, set it up in
GL3_InitShaders() and don't have to add anything to
GL3_ShutdownShaders() (this is good, I forgot that all the time and
didn't notice, as it doesn't cause visible errors)
* Of course the color attribute has 4 floats, not 2..
* I read that updating UBOs with glBufferData() is kinda slow.
I didn't change that (yet), but at least all three GL3_UpdateUBO*()
functions now call updateUBO() which can easily be changed to do
whatever is best without touching the other three functions.
* When using gl_pointparameters, the particles always had the same size
regardless of resolution, i.e. they look bigger (use bigger part of
screen) at lower resolutions. Now I scale gl_particle_size according
to the resolution, assuming the configured size looks good at 800x600
(or generally 600px vertical)
* When not using gl_pointparameters, a textured triangle is rendered.
The texture had a resolution of 8x8 pixels and looked like a cross,
now it's 16x16 and has rounded ages, looking more like a circle.
So particles with "gl_pointparameters 0" should look much better now.
turns out R_MYgluPerspective() was not the same as gluPerspective()
and thus not equivalent to HMM_Perspective() either. Because of this,
the weapon and corresponding arm looked different in GL3 vs GL1.
Created GL3_MYgluPerspective() to fix that.
Also tested optimized code in GL3_RotateForEntity() and
rotAroundAxisZYX(), use this code from now on and cleaned it all up by
removing commented out code.
that was easy..
however, not related to this change or left vs right hand, the gun
seems to be drawn too far back, we should see more of the arm..
I wonder where that went wrong...
introducing vertex color attributes GL3_ATTRIB_COLOR (it's used for
lighting models and to render models flat-colored, I think that's used
for quad damage effect and similar)
kind of messy commit with all the shit from last weekend, finished now
Most importantly the common vertex attribute layout stuff using
glBindAttribLocation()
still no 3D rendering, but in theory it should be able to load models,
bsps etc, just not render them yet.
also moved/copied md2.c and sp2.c to gl/ and gl3/ because they use
renderer-specific types
only for 2D rendering, as we don't have 3D yet; also this might need
a more flexible solution later, as some textures are not supposed to
have intensity applied.
According to the old R_Upload32*() and R_LightScaleTexture() the ones
without mipmaps didn't get intensity. Those were it_pic and it_sky (and
the ones in the "scrap", but those were it_pic too)
when called from R_FindImage() the palette wasn't used anyway.
R_FindImage() now passes NULL.
(LoadPCX() is still called with non-NULL palette from Draw_GetPalette())
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().
somehow all the printf()-like things in Q2 wrap each other and each
one prints into a buffer and then calls the next one with ("%s", buf).
That's not very clever and kinda annoying.
As in the end everyone calls Com_Printf() I created Com_VPrintf()
that can be called instead with the va_list.
I also added printf-format annotation to Com_Printf() and Com_DPrintf()
and fixed places where Com_Printf() was called with the wrong type.
and the changes in the including files for this.
(also removed gl.h includes from local.h, as it's already included in
qgl.h which is included by local.h)

While here fix another small inconsistency: Vorbis playback should
stop when switching 'shuffle' on.
The overflow was reported by @tomgreen66 in pull request #168.
Until now autoexec.cfg was a special case. It was read several
times, whenever the 'game' cvar was altered or when the client was
restarted. But only if it was in the right directory in the right
position of the internal search path... Remove this altogether and
replace it by an ordinary 'exec autoexec.cfg' at startup.
This may break some mods that depend on an autoexec.cfg if the user has
his own version in ~/.yq2/. Such mods should use default.cfg instead.
This closes issue #163.
Multitexturing was never part of any official Quake II release. It was
added in version 3.21, which was released only in source. Over the years
many developers tried to fix multitexturing, including myself. Yamagi
Quake II had it even enabled by default for several releases... But:
* Multitexturing is poorly implemented and **slow**
* Multitexturing leads to render errors, for example in city3
* Multitextring is ortogonal to the normal render path and adds a
lot of special cases to the renderer
Remove it for good. Ciao, it wasn't a nice time. :) The last version
before this commit was at least somewhat fixed, read some of the worst
problems were fixed. If someone's ever going to resurrect it, it would
be a good idea to start at that point.
Otherwise at least one key may be still marked as down causing an
immediate abort of playback. While here be a little bit paranoid
and clean up key states when focus is gained. In theory that's a
no-op.
When the video is scaled through OpenGL we can just throw it on our
vertexes and everything's alright. But when we're softscaling the video
we must consider that the videos size doesn't really match the vertex
size...
especially in the intermission videos, the text looked broken, as parts
of the characters were missing.
This is because Draw_StretchRaw() converts the 320x240 video frame into
a 256x256 texture, without doing proper interpolation (just skipping
some pixels instead).
Now, if the GPU supports non-power-of-two texture sizes, the video
frames are uploaded as textures in their original size.
(Also fixed a harmless typo in common.h)
The original client crashed (or survived by pure luck) when muzzle
flash offsets >210 were send. Our fix was to bail out, but that broke
some buggy mods... So just return and print an optional debug message.
This fixes issue #153.
This step height is used by several evelators, leading to stuttering due
to misspredictions. Additionally half height steps weren't smoothed by
the synchronous client.
Predicting these steps leads to a heavily stuttering elevator in
hangar1. I think that steps between 94 and 98 can't appear on stairs, so
just remove them. If I'm wrong we need a hack to the hack ontop of the
hack... ^^
This fixes#119. As always I've chosen the least invasive way to solve
this problem. Trying to open players/$model/trix.md2 is hack, but solves
the problem without changes to filesystem.c and it's API.
With vsync enabled the render times of consecutive frames can diverge.
The first frame arrives right at the next display frame and is rendered
without waiting time. The next frame has to wait 20ms. The leads to some
problems with the move prediction if the client is asynchronous. Fix
this by capping the desired frame rate at the display refresh rate. Also
make sure that the network framerate is never higher then the renderer
framerate.
With the commit the timing is always correct:
* With no limit as much frames as possible are rendered. In this case
rfps > nfps and everything's good.
* With vsync enabled rfps > nfps or rfps == nfps is given. Also rfps
will never exceed the display refresh rate.
* On slow hardware either rfps > nfps or an implicit rfpc == nfps is
given.
While the bugfix in a6f4a3b made the steping prediction working for
stairs, elevators are still stuttering. r1q2s code solves this problem
and is a little bit faster. Use it instead.
Yesterday I chose setting cl_async to 0 since I saw some movement
changed with the async client enabled. Especially when clipping against
bevels the game started to stutter and there were small rendering
problems. After some debugging I realized that it is caused by slight
inaccuracies in the move prediction. When cl_maxfps is too low, the
movement error between two render frames becomes to big, leading to
misspositions. There're two ways to solve this problem:
* Processing more client frames. Most async clients I've looked on
process 60 or even 90 render frames. I chose to stay at 60 since
I was unable to see differences with higher rates.
* Changed to pmove.c and the pmove_t struct. Some multiplayer focused
clients go that way. But there's a very high of breaking singleplayer
movement and pmove_t is part of the server <-> game API. Additionally
the network code must / should be altered. So this is unsuitable for
YQ2.
Please note that there's still a change in movement. Before 4ae8706 and
when cl_async is set to 0 movement is dependend on the render framerate.
At low framerate bevel clipping isn't working too good, at high
framerates prediction causes physics changes like the famous 125hz bug.
With cl_async set to 1 the network framerate is stable, leading to a
more consistant behahiour.
Most (all?) clients implement the synchronous and the asynchronous
client by seperate code pathes. Instead of doing that we force the
asynchronous path to process one network frame for each render frame.
We're missusing the current frame to pass data from the input subsystem
to the movement prediction without a server frame. While we can use the
current frame for the movements itself, it's not finished and thus
unsuitable for stair step prediction. Also oldframe is determined
wrongly. As a result the player "jumps" over stairs.
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.
This is more than enough for everyone and prevents wasting CPU time.
Without this change as many client frames as possible are rendered,
Quake II uses a complete core.
This is based on work submitted by Scott "pickle" Smith. It's said that
vertex arrays are somewhat faster and more compatible than the old way.
This may remove support of some very, very old GPUs like the Riva128.
This is more less cosmetics since gl_tex_solid_format == GL_RGB and
GL_LIGHTMAP_FORMAT == GL_RGBA. No measurable FPS change on Nvidia and
Intel. Based upon the OpenGL ES patch by Scott "pickle" Smith.
This is based upon the original OpenGL ES patch by Scott "pickle"
Smith. This change gives about the same frame rate on an 750TI but
about 3% more frames on an Ivy Bridge IGP with Mesa3D...
This is largely based upon the cl_async 1 mode from KMQuake2, which in
turn is based upon r1q2. The origins of this code may be even older...
Different to KMQuake2 the asynchonous mode is not optional, the client
is always asynchonous. Since we're mainly integrating this rather
fundamental change to simplify the complex internal timing between
client, server and refresh, there's no point in keeping it optional.
The old cl_maxfps cvar controls the network frames. 30 frames should be
enough, even Q3A hasn't more. The new gl_maxfps cvar controls the render
frames. It's set to 95 fps by default to avoid possible remnant of the
famous 125hz bug.
I'm not quite sure if this really makes a difference. But it's the only
idea I have regarding several "Quake II hangs at shutdown when OpenAL is
run with Pulseaudio backend" bugs.
Hardware gamma is broken, especially in fullscreen, and a Mac user told me
that setting HW/screen gamma on OSX is a bad idea anyway, because it resets
the monitor calibration.
The game /should/ look ok with vid_gamma 1 (if your display is configured
properly), but if you think it's too dark set it a bit higher and do
vid_restart.
Multitexturing was enabled by default in 0f7b422. It gives a small but
on todays hardware neglectable performance boost, but caused several
problems over the years. For example gl_showtris doesn't work with it
and there's at least one render glitch in city3.bsp.
turns out the if the console is opened while no game is currently
running, cls.key_dest is not key_console but still key_game.
Changing it to key_console in those cases blows up in interesting ways.
So in Char_Event() we send events to the console in those cases.
This clamps the UI scale, limiting the relative size of the UI
elements to what they would be at scale 1 in a 320x240 resolution.
Allowing bigger scales is not useful, and would make it possible
for the user to shoot him-/herself in the foot by setting a
"too big" UI scale value in the menu. (Since this would mess up
the menu, it could be hard te recover from for a casual user.)
AL_PlayChannel() is only called by AL_AddLoopSounds() and
S_IssuePlaysound() - but only the latter set a volume there.
Because of that, loopsounds weren't hearable anymore after the last
commit which removed adding s_volume to all volumes in AL_PlayChannel().
This is fixed by setting the volume for looped sounds in
AL_AddLoopSounds() as well.
Looped sounds don't seem to have a customizable volume and are always
played at full volume (the volume is only changed by distance, but
OpenAL does that automatically).
The CD music enable / disable box wasn't used by many users for two
reasons: CD music playback needs a CDROM drive with analog output.
Such drives aren't available for at least 10 years. And CD music is
unsupported with SDL2. A OGG volume slider is much more usefull.
Con_DrawConsole() assumed that the version string was always 21chars
long, we changed it to allow longer strings with other lenghts.
In Unix main() we changed the code for underlining
"Yamagi Quake II $version" with === so the underlining is as long
as the underlined string.
Moving the check under the "do we have the file localy" check prevents
spurious "Refusing to download a path with .." messages with some game
data. The tank commander skin is one example. This change has no
security impact since FS_LoadFile() just opens and closes the file.
While at it tighten the condition to prevent pathes with colons (this
condition is added at the server side, too) and pathes starting with
slashes and dots.
When the keypad was activated key presses were processed twice.
Once as a normal char event and once as a key event (not marked
as special). The key event to console character translation
function turned the key event into a second character...
The savegame list is generated by calling FS_FOpenFile() for each
possible savegame name. When a file handle is returned the savegame
exists, otherwise the savegame slot is empty. But FS_FOpenFile()
searches in every directory known to the VFS. If a savegame file
isn't found in $moddir but in baseq2, the file in baseq2 is opened
and a baseq2 savegame is displayed in the mods / addons savegame menu.
The fix is compromise between a clean solution and invasiveness:
- Refactor FS_FOpenFile() to include FS_FOpenFileRead(). FS_FOpenFile()
was used only to open read only files, limit its's possibilities to
do exactly that.
- Introduce a new flag "gamedir_only" to FS_FOpenFile(). When true
only the gamedir directories are searched and not other directories
like baseq2.
- Change all callers to FS_FOpenFile()s new signature.
- Use the new gamedir_only flag to limit the searchpath for savegames
to the gamedir.
OpenAL sources are reused in Quake2, so if a source has once been used
for a sound coming from the view entity, it'd stay relative, unless
told not to.
So now I set source's AL_SOURCE_RELATIVE to AL_TRUE or AL_FALSE in
AL_PlayChannel(), depending on the source coming from the player or not.
Thanks a lot to Tommi Teistelä for identifying the problem and pushing
me in the right direction!
should hopefully fix#93, which seemed to be caused by ^ and ` being
bound to toggleconsole in default.cfg (as shipped with Q2) *and*
in code, so it'd be called twice and cancel each other out.
It even warns if someone tries to bind those keys and includes an ugly
hack to *not* warn when it's done in default.cfg, to minimize confusion.
OGG_OpenName(): add ogg_ignoretrack0 cvar to set whether we respect
default playback behaviour when track 0 is requested to be played via
standard cd audio playback.

As Jack Whitham noticed [0], animated textures freeze at their first
frame if they're on a transparent surface. This can be seen in base3
(Com Centre), for example. At least for the OpenGL renderer this is
caused by the fact that the animation chain is never forwarded if the
texture is bound to a transparent surface. The fix is to do exactly
that...
I can only speculate why the animations on transparent surfaces were
never used / implemented. Maybe performance issues or it was just
forgotten.
