I guess it makes sense to apply gamma to the color, we do the same
for the standard round particles.
Also, this way the fragment shader for square particles references the
uniCommon UBO (gamma is part of it) - apparently the Intel HD4000
(from Ivy Bridge) GPU driver for Windows has a bug that uniform blocks
that exist in the shader source but aren't actually used can't be found
(with glGetUniformBlockIndex(prog, name)), which we treat as an error
in gl3_shaders.c initShader3D().

If the vsync is enabled missuse it to slow the client down, e.g.
calculate the target framerate, add an security margin of 20% and
let the vsync handle the rest. This hopefully solves some problems
with frametime spikes. This is an idea by @DanielGibson.
If the vsync is disabled use a simple 1s / fps calculation.
GetSystemTimeAsFileTime() is okay as long as the game runs fullscreen.
For some reasons it's resolution degraded to ~16ms as soon as the game
runs widowed... Better use GetPerformanceCounter(), its more reliable
and the recommended API for timecounters.
Apparently the lightsource for exploding rockets/grenades is very close
to the surface, so the dot-Product between surface-normal and the
vector between the light and the pixel returns 0, basically disabling
the dynamic light for that surface.
As a workaround, move the lightposition (only for that dot product)
a bit above the surface, 32*surfaceNormal looks good.

The real needed size can't be derived from the .bsp file size, because
* many generated structs contain pointers
* there's lots of data generated per face..
* _especially_ for warped faces that are subdivided
introduced FS_GetFilenameForHandle(fileHandle_t) for this
this helps if a map has been started with "wrong" case, which doesn't
immediately fail if it has been loaded from a pack, but will result
in invalid savegame names that (with case-sensitive FSs) will fail to
load (when going back to a formerly played level)
The r1q2 code prioritized pak files over all other files, e.g. as soon
as a pak file was requested no more file were added to the download
queue until it finished downloading. That way one could be sure that
assets included in the pak file weren't downloaded in parallel as single
files.
This is a better, bugfixed and more robust implementation of the same
logic. With this back in place we can switch back to parallel downloads
which gives a nice speedup on Windows. Maybe, just maybe some day
Microsoft will fix Windows crappy I/O...
Working with getter and setters was a good idea as long as we had one or
two quirks. Now we're at three with maybe more to come so it's easier to
use a struct to communicate quirks between the precacher and the HTTP
download code.
The stores it's text in the key_lines array which is NUM_KEY_LINES *
MAXCMDLINE chars long. The code never checked for overflows, it just
assumed that a line will never be longer then 256 chars * 8 = 2048
pixel. With modern displays we can have higher vertical resolutions,
so the array will overflow sooner or later.
Fix it by clamping the maximum line width to MAXCMDLINE - 2 chars (1
for the prompt and 1 for the terminating \0). While at it increase
MAXCMDLINE to 1024 chars * 8 = 8192 pixel, which is more then 8k
resolution and should be enough for the years to come.
This is belived tot fix at least a part of issue #368.
While loading a savegame the global edict arrays is free()ed and newly
malloc()ed to reset all entity states. When the game puts the first
client into the server it sends it's entity state to us, so as long as
there's only one client everything's okay. But when there're more
clients the entity states if all clients >1 are dangeling. Hack around
that by reconnecting the clients >1 entity states "manually".
I'm not 100% sure if this is okay for q2pro, but at least in my simple
tests r1q2, q2pro and now yq2 generate the same URL. Nevertheless it's
somewhat inconssistent to search generic files at /moddir/... and the
filelist at /moddir.filelist
This closes issue #370.
Until now the softrenderer calculated the fov relative to a hard coded
aspect of 4/3. That's wrong, because we're supporting arbitrary aspects
and we aren't calculating a fov but just a scaling factor to the global
fov which takes the aspect into the account.
Fix this by not taking any aspect calculations into account. BUT: While
this renders the gun with a correct perspective it's positioned much
nearer to the camera / player then in the GL renderers. The GL renderers
work around that problem by enforcing a minimal Z distance of 4 units,
which can't do because we're just calculating a scaling factor...
This fixed bug #357 - the problem was that
client->resp.coop_respawn.weapon and .lastweapon (pointers to gitem)
were not properly initialized when loading a savegame.
Now those fields are saved (=> we had to bump the savegame version)
and for old savegames client->resp.coop_rewspawn is initialized
from client->pers, as a hack for backwards-compatibility.
Until now the UDP download code prohibited downloading of maps from all
pak files. That was some kind of copy protection, without the limitation
demo users could download assets from the full version. Don't apply that
protection for all paks, but only for numbered .pak files.
This could be enhanced by limiting the protection to pak0 to pak2 for
baseq2 and pak0 for both xatrix and rogue.
The r1q2 URL generator was, like everything in this game, buggy. It took
cl.gamedir into account when generating the URLs, but overlooked that it
is only set when 'gamedir != BASEDIR'. So baseq2 assets ended up with
/maps/foo.bsp and mod assets with /mod/maps/foo.bsp. q2pro fixed that
to always include the gamedir...
Work around this by refactoring the HTTP -> UDP fallback logic to be
more generic: Count the number of iterations and depending on the
iteration set the gamedir to be used by the URL generator or force
UDP downloads.
Cleaning the download queue as soon as a file finished downloading leads
in combination with only one parallel download and multiple precacher
runs to an ugly problem: The generic filelist is requested several time
which can lead to cycles. Hack around this by rembering if we already
requested it and reset set reminder as soon as the precacher finished.
Yes, I'm feeling dirty.
If the server sends us an URL with trailing slash we're generating URIs
like http://example.com//maps/foo.bsp. While double // are perfectly
valid they might me rejected by some servers. So let's play save.
While at it replace the crappy Z_TagMalloc() with the standard malloc().
Z_TagMalloc() ist just a wrapper arround malloc(), there's no functional
change.
This looks easy, but is rather hacky... Downloading is implemented
through the precacher. The server sends an asset list, while loading
the map another one is generated. CL_RequestNextDownload() goes
through this list, in the order models / maps -> sounds -> images,
calls CL_CheckOrDownloadFile() for each file. CL_CheckOrDownloadFile()
checks if the file is already there, return true if it is and false
if not. If the return code is false CL_RequestNextDownload() itself
returns, it's called again by CL_ParseDownload() as soon as the just
queued file finished downloading. This way all missing files are
downloaded one after the other, when CL_RequestNextDownload() finally
reaches it's end (all files are there) it send 'begin' to the server,
thus putting the client into the game.
HTTP downloads are parallel, so CL_RequestNextDownload() cannot track
which files are there and which are missing. The work around for that is
to queue the file but have CL_CheckOrDownloadFile() return true. So
CL_RequestNextDownload() thinks the file is already there, continues
with the next one, until all missing files are queued. After that it
polls CL_PendingHTTPDownloads() and sends the 'begin' as soon as all
HTTP downloads are finished.
If a HTTP download fails we cannot just queue it as UDP download,
because the precacher things that the file is already there. And we
can't tell the precacher that it's not because the precacher tracks
files only by the number of downloaded files per asste type and not
their name. Just decreasing the number of downloaded files isn't
possible since the precacher may have progressed to the next asset
type.
So: On the HTTP side it's tracked if there was an error or not. After
CL_RequestNextDownload() has queued all files and waited for all HTTP
downloads to finish it checks the HTTP error status. If there was an
error the precacher state is reset and CL_RequestNextDownload() recurses
into itself to take another run. All files that couldn't be downloaded
are queued again, this time as UDP downloads.
My solution to this problem is somewhat hacky. A newly added function
OGG_SaveState() can be called to save the state and OGG_RecoverState()
at a later time to restore it. There's only one state and it works
only iff OGG is state playing.
This closes#347.
If we're passing file handles to libcurl to write the data into, the
game may crash under Windows due to incompatible C runtimes between cURL
and quake2. This is even mentioned in the official cURL doku.
Since the moment I took a very first look at the download code I wasn't
a friend of parallel downloads. There're several reasons for that:
- Parallel downloading needs some ugly hacks. For example downloading a
pak file has a high chance to make asset downloads running in parallel
unnecessary.
- Parallel downloads are hard to debug.
- There's just no need for them. I've tested several connection, 1
GBit/s LAN, 50 MBit/s DSL, 6 MBit/s DSL, and there wasn't a
significant difference between 1, 4 or even 16 parallel downloads.
I'm leaving the parallel download code in place. I someone really wants
parallel downloads he can bump the MAX_HTTP_HANDLES define.
The signal handler was always fishy since it modified the global process
state but worked on all common platforms. libcurl turns the process into
a multithreaded environment, thus breaking that fragile construction.
After the signal handler was called the global state is inconsistent and
there's a high chance of things going wrong. For example at the net curl
download or when setjmp() is called in Qcommon_Frame().
Until now download queues entries were created for each file, but only
removed in the unlikely event of changed download server. This leaked
about 4200 byte per file. Fix this by:
- Create a new function CL_RemoveFromQueue() that removes a queue entry
and call it everytime when a download either finished, failed or
aborted.
- Retire the 'download done' state, just the queue entries associated
with a download handle to NULL to communicate that the handle is
unused.
- Cleanup the full queue at shutdown.
Loading libcurl at runtime instead of linking it at compile time makes
things a lot easier and more reliable on Windows. On other platform
libcurl can be installed as optional dependency instead as an hard one.
We're printing only the two relevant informations: A download was queued
and a download finished or failed. That's enough to see what's going on
and not too noisy.
...and fix the bugs, that were worked around with that crap, instead.
This removes some corner cases like cancelation of all HTTP downloads
and fallback to UDP if too many 404 errors were generated. If this is
still a problem in reality - for example HTTP servers blocking the
client after too many 404 or even crashing HTTP server - fix the server
and don't force the clients to work around that.
We aren't in 1997 anymore, todays broadband connections are fast enough
to handle multiple large files. This may download some assets twice if
the server provides both a pak file with all assets and the assets as
plain files.
There's no need to parse the HTTP header on our side of things, CURL can
do that. And the old buffer code was overcomplicated, simplify it. While
at it switch to normal malloc().
While the download speed calculations may be useful their implementation
is crappy and the integration into the console is rather fragile. If we
really want to support the progress bar with HTTP downloads this needs
to be reimplemented.
The URL generation logic was buggy, it took the local fs_gamedir into
account when determining the files path on the server. That could have
worked in r1q2 or q2dos since they assume that the executable dir is
also the config dir. But it breaks in YQ2 were the executable dir and
the config dir differ.
These are:
- CL_ResetPrecacheCheck(): Resets the precacher, forces it to reevaluate
which assets are available and what needs to be downloaded.
- FS_FileInGamedir(): Checks if a file (and only a real file, not
somthing in a pak) is available in fs_gamedir.
- FS_AddPAKFromGamedir(): Adds a pak in fs_gamedir to the search path.
This is a very first cut:
* It compiles
* It doesn't crash
What's missing:
* cmake integration
* CURL should be loaded dynamically
* Integration between download code and filesystem
* Likely UTF-8 stuff
* cl_http.c needs cleanup
* Windows support
We're taking indices and converting them to pointer relative to the
hunks base. Yes, that's dirty. Since the indices are stored as 32 bit
values and hunks are generally small using 32 bit pointers is enough,
even on 64 bit platforms. So the code took the size of void* / 2...
See the problem? Yes, that's not a good idea on 32 bit platforms. Bite
the bullet and just take the size of void*. Shouldn't be a problem,
because the indices are the first thing that's loaded and the hunk is
trimmed right after it anyways. If, and just if, we really need each and
every byte in the early stages of map loading we need two cases. One for
64 bit and one for 32 bit.
This fixes issue #346. Kudos to @ricardosdl for the analysis.
Lost time is time that we spend but didn't account. So the lost time
doesn't shorten a second (in fact that would mean that we'll lose the
time twice), it lengthen a second. Since has a small but noticeable
impact on timing when running with vsync enabled.

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.
