- with renderers freely switchable, some shortcuts in the 3D floor code had to be removed, because now the hardware renderer can get FF_THISINSIDE-flagged 3D floors.
- changed handling of attenuated lights in the legacy renderer to be adjusted when being rendered instead of when being spawned. For the software renderer the light needs to retain its original values.
- Slightly improve how softpoly processes portals
- Pass the vertex transform matrix via a command rather than being part of the drawer args
- Improve zbuffer drawers in the software renderer
- Misc model rendering fixes
This does not work with a setup where the same backend is driving both renderers.
Most of this is now routed through 'screen', and the decision between renderers has to be made inside the actual render functions.
The software renderer is still driven by a thin opaque interface to keep it mostly an isolated module.
The old organization made sense when ZDoom still was a thing but now it'd be better if all pure data with no dependence on renderer implementation details was moved out.
A separation between GL2 and GL3+4 renderers looks to be inevitable and the more data is out of the renderer when that happens, the better.
Now it is no longer necessary to provide specially set up textures for rendering shaded decals, they can use any PNG texture now that contains a proper red channel.
Handling of the alPh chunk has been removed as a result as it in no longer needed.
I have no idea why they were even in there, as they intentionally circumvented all GC related features - they declared themselves fixed if prone to getting collected, they all used OF_YesReallyDelete when destroying themselves and they never used any of the object creation or RTTI features, aside from a single assert in V_Init2.
Essentially they were a drag on the system and OF_YesReallyDelete was effectively added just to deal with the canvases which were DObjects but not supposed to behave like them in the first place.
- added a few access functions for FActorInfo variables.
With PClassActor now empty the class descriptors can finally be converted back to static data outside the class hierarchy, like they were before the scripting merge, and untangle the game data from VM internals.
- moved testcolor and test fades into SWRenderer files.
These CCMDs work by hacking the default colormap and were never implemented for hardware rendering because they require many checks throughout the code.
Removing this made me realize that calling the renderers' FakeFlat functions from the automap is inherently unsafe with the recent refactorings because there is absolutely no guarantee that the data may actually still be defined when the automap is being drawn.
So the best approach here is to give the automap its own FakeFlat function that runs independently of render data and assumptions of data preservation. This one can also be a lot simpler because it only needs the floor, not the ceiling info.
Since the true color software renderer also handles them there is no point keeping them on the GL side.
This also optimized how they are stored, because we no longer need to be aware of a base engine which doesn't have them.
