This needs to be moved into the backend, and partially into the shader. So far this only removes the code from the main rendering logic, the final implementation is not done yet.
It had to go because it required the main rendering code to look deep into the texture data which would be a major blocker for refactoring.
- consolidated Polymost precaching and removed precaching for static tiles because they now are always loaded.
- removed cache configurability. On modern systems this is relatively pointless - allocating 50 or 100 MB is a non-issue - and the cache is due for replacement anyway.
Sorry, but having a globally writable pointer to every texture is just insane and makes any functional management impossible.
This is merely a preparation for adding a real texture manager. That cannot be done if any code can write over the data at will. For that, it now has to make the texture writable first or create a writable empty texture.
These will have to do some texture management bookkeeping so directly changing the values is problematic.
This required changing the parameter interface in polymost.cpp because a few places hacked around with the global state to pass parameters to subfunctions.
- also removed the legacy fog modes because their implementation did not mix well with the texture system - they are also not really useful to begin with.
The last fog mode will most likely also be removed once true color shading is working but that one is less of an issue.
The builtin matrices are no longer available in modern GLSL, preventing an upgrade of the shader.
Also perform better reporting of shader compilation errors.
Currently this only contains the main Polymost shaders and the resources from nblood.pk3.
The latter cannot be used yet because the Build resource management system is too stubborn to add the newly added file without some changes.
It's better to refactor the entire system instead.
The EDuke32 and RedNukem frontends are working, Blood isn't yet.
Notes:
many of the CMake variables and its output still refer to zdoom. Before changing that I wanted to make sure to be able to commit something that works.
support code for Windows XP has been entirely removed. On Windows this will only target Vista and up.
the crc32.h header had to be renamed to deconflict from zlib.
several Windows API calls were changed to call the A-versions directly. Weirdly enough there were places that defined their parameters as T types but in a non-working way.
removed some remaining editor files and support for the native software rendering only Windows backend.
in a few simple cases, replaced 'char' with 'uint8_t'. The code as-is depends on chars being unsigned which is non-portable. This needs to be carefully reviewed.
My future plans do not include mobile support due tp poor support of modern APIs so this is essentially just baggage.
