Most importantly, the separate command line options for switching on the legacy buffer handling have been removed.
There's really no need for them anymore, because unlike in earlier versions many of the implementation differences no longer exist - with the exception of where the light and vertex buffer contents are generated.
For testing this, -glversion 3 is sufficient.
- move a few variables from SceneDrawer to FRenderViewpoint.
The global r_viewpoint variable is left alone now to always represent the current viewpoint to the play code.
The main reason behind this change is to reduce the amount of global variables being used by the hardware renderer's scene processing code.
This removes 3 uniforms, consisting of 9 floats. Those were merged into other values that never get used at the same time.
It also moves the costly setup of the fixed colormap out of the render state into the 2D processing code.
Since 3D forces use of render buffers now, it is no longer necessary to draw the entire scene with the colormap active, meaning it can be handled more efficiently.
I missed this part when repurposing the vboindex members to store the index buffer offsets.
However, since both indices are needed, they need another set of variables.
On a fast and modern graphics card this is a lot faster than doing it per subsector but it may not be without drawbacks on older hardware so it will require some testing on older hardware.
For me Frozen Time's view over the bridge went from 46 fps to 51 fps with this change, the time saved was roughly 2 ms.
- added thread_local to some static arrays being used for setting up dynamic lights.
Right now it's of little consequence but these will have to be maintained per thread if the render data setup is done by worker tasks.
