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.
This was originally invented to fix the sprite offsets for the hardware renderer.
Changed it so that it doesn't override the original offsets but acts as a second set.
A new CVAR has been added to allow controlling the behavior per renderer.
This also replaces DTA_ColormapStyle with proper implementations of its components. As implemented it was a very awkward mixture of various effects that already existed in a separate form. As a result of its implementation it required additional but completely redundant shader support which could be removed now. As a side effect of this change a new DTA_Desaturate option was added.
No more locking insanity! :)
There are no locking counters or other saveguards here that would complicate the implementation because there's precisely two places where this buffer must be locked - the RenderView functions of the regular and poly SW renderer which cannot be called recursively.
In its current form this is quite useless. What's really needed is to require a lock on the RenderBuffer for the 3D scene, but since this is not needed for the 2D stuff anymore it can be done far simpler.
This was a bad idea from the start and really only made sense with DirectDraw.
These days a FrameBuffer represents an abstract hardware canvas that shares nothing with a software canvas so having these classes linked together makes things needlessly complicated.
The software render buffer is now a canvas object owned by the FrameBuffer.
Note that this commit deactivates a few things in the software renderer, but from the looks of it none of those will be needed anymore if we set OpenGL 2 as minimum target.
This was done mainly to reduce the amount of occurences of the word FTexture but it immediately helped detect two small and mostly harmless bugs that were found due to the stricter type checks.
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.
Until now each subclass of FTexture had to implement the entire span generation itself, presumably so that a few classes can use simpler structures.
This does not work if a texture can have more than one pixel buffer as is needed for alpha textures.
Even though it means that some classes will allocate more data now, it's the only way to do it properly.
In addition this removes a significant amount of mostly redundant code from the texture classes.
- added alpha texture processing to all converted classes
As of now this is not active and not tested.
Note that as part of the conversion even those textures that were working as alphatextures will not look correct until the higher level code gets adjusted.
* store the frame time in the current screen buffer from where all render code can access it.
* replace some uses of I_MSTime with I_FPSTime, because they should not use a per-frame timer. The only one left is the wipe code but even this doesn't look like it needs either a per-frame timer or a timer counting from the start of the playsim.
- moved timer definitions into their own header/source files. d_main is not the right place for this.
- removed some leftover cruft from the old timer code.
