Since LTCG is enabled now, we don't have to define every function inside
the headers for ~xXx super speed xXx~, which means we can strip the
headers down to their bare minimum and reduce interdependencies and
therefore recompilation times by a lot.
We want one gamepad key mapping to work with multiple gamepads, so
including the id there doesn't make sense.
Additionally, the gamepad id may change during the game (controller
hot-plugging).
The icons currently only show Xbox 360 controller labeling. The icon set
also includes icons for PlayStation controllers, so we could extend this
in the future.
It is now possible to control all GUI menus using the left stick or the
dpad, along with the A and B buttons on the controller.
This also doubles the button emulation dead zone to make navigating the
menus with the stick easier.
Previously, global particles would be drawn even in front of Plane 1000+ (GUI) objects. Additionally, it was impossible to specify particles that were supposed to always be in front of all other particles (e.g. fog, clouds, emulated FoW, ...).
Now, you can attach particles to an object on plane 901+ and have them be in front of everything else.
The GTK and OS X platforms already ignored the requested bit depth and
always used 32 bit. Windows and SDL would set a 16 bit color depth for
the screen, but still did all of the rendering short of the final
present in 32 bit.
In windowed mode, we shouldn't stop rendering just because we have lost
focus. However, we don't need to render at full framerate; throttling to
5 fps should be sufficient. Note though that we still have to calculate
game ticks at full speed so network games don't slow down when a player
tabs out of the game.
It isn't clear whether that call is necessary since the C4AulScriptEngine
constructor already does this, but it is clear that duplicating the call
all over is a bad idea.
USE_WIN32_WINDOWS was previously defined in PlatformAbstraction.h. Move it
to CMakeLists.txt and config.h like its peers. Replace USE_X11 with USE_GTK
or GDK_WINDOWING_X11 as appropriate.
glDrawElements needs an IBO when using a core profile. The particle
system's IBO is actually quite static since it's always a triangle
strip with 2 triangles followed by a PRI. Therefore, this reduces the
amount of data we have to send to the GPU compared to the previous
solution.
Also, remove the workaround when glPrimitiveRestartIndex is not
available since it is always available with OpenGL 3.1 and when using
a core profile we are guaranteed to have OpenGL 3.1 anyway.
This was used to name snapshot releases of the Network2 branch, and has
seen almost no use since.
C4ENGINEINFO(LONG) was a duplicate of C4ENGINENAME and C4ENGINECAPTION.
Video recording and playback only worked on Windows, and recording only
handled video, not game audio. As such, it was of fairly limited use,
and there's lots of software available these days that handle both.
If the user switched away from OC while it was loading, there was
probably a reason for that. We'll no longer assume we're the most
important app in the world and steal the focus away from whatever the
user was doing.
Getting the error summary written to the log/console automatically may
be useful for general game usage, but when testing Aul we just end up
with thousands of useless messages in the output. Let the caller log the
message if it's really desired.
The C++ standard library comes with perfectly fine implementations of
these functions, so there's no point in reimplementing them just for the
hell of it.
* There was an off-by-one-error causing a blank line at the screen upper screen border.
* Remove ApplyGamma. It is always applied because Gamma is just part of the drawing shaders now.
* Save by copying rows instead of pixels for whole map screenshots.
Add a C4ShaderCall parameter to tho most important drawing functions, and
make C4DrawGL's CreateSpriteShader public with additional parameters to
specify additional defines and shader slices. C4Sky uses this to compile its
own shader with OC_SKY defined.
Setting it by player filenames in the beginning is not necessery (and wrong for invalid files). Also copying it through C4S.Head didn't serve any purpose because PlayerInfo is synchronized in network and replays and startup player count can be deduced from that.
Tested in standalone, network, savegames, runtime join and replays from standalone, savegames and runtime join (Some replays of network games were bugged but that's an unrelated error).
The Default call from C4Game is issued before construction of all members, which causes a memory leak when TextureMap is actually constructed.
Just merge Default() into Clear(). The separation into two calls serves no other purpose than putting the class into an inconsistent state between them.
It actually does that in almost all other subclasses as well but they don't allocate memory.
In comparison to the old system, this is a downgrade - instead of being
able to set a full color mapping by gamma ramp, we now get just a value
per colour channel.
Upside is that we do not need to play around with the global gamma ramps
any more, which was arguably the wrong way to do it.
This commit will likely break everything that has been using gamma so far.
The shapes library has such pointer chains. The leaks were getting pretty heavy because they included pointers to C4AulFuncs, which kept a lot of parts of the script engine and string tables in memory.
The string table of System.ocg scripts (except the global System.ocg) pointed to nowhere after the initial load phase, but is still required for reload. Added a ref counting option to keep these string tables alive.
Fullscreen GUIs on wide-screen monitors look stupid. This patch tackles this by restricting the maximum size to something that can still be seen with a glance.
For very high-DPI or low-DPI screens, the user would most likely adjust the font size in the options (todo) anyway and thus also change the maximum menu size.
This introduces a new command line parameter "--debug-opengl", which
will create special debug OpenGL contexts and attach a callback that the
driver will invoke when it detects a problem. The callback will then
write the error message to the logfile, and break into the debugger if
one is attached.
Currently only works on Windows.
When OC fails while in startup code, resetting the gamma ramp was trying
to use an uninitialized C4Draw, which would result in writes to invalid
memory.
CreateObject() now does not reposition an object after it has been created, but rather grows it around the center of said object.
To that end a new parameter has been added to DoCon() and SetCon() and the documentation has been updated.
With this change, an additional rectangle is stored in C4FoWRegion that
represents the area covered by the viewport in fractional floating point
coordinates. This allows the light texture to be created for an arbitrary
portion of the landscape, and the coordinate transformations for the
shaders will still work.
Also, since the additional rectangle uses floating point precision, the
computed coordinate transformations do now give the exact same result as for
the landscape pixel-by-pixel, and there should not be any offsets left.
I also hope that this change improves or fixes the single-pixel-lines of sky
that are sometimes seen at the edges of the viewport.
Appending and including skeletons works now. Documentation updated.
Skins such as appendto.Clonk.Farmer.skeleton are handled as if the skin name were not included: appendto.Clonk.skeleton
This also changes a bit the structure of how meshes are reloaded in general,
in particular mesh materials are only reloaded once and not once per
C4DefGraphics instance. (Fix crash on reload with included skeletons, cherry picked from commit 2f69aa4850ab7a4b621e5f30cbc537d40f32c0df)
Fix linking of C4Script standalone tool (cherry picked from commit b03a332b73463b378c94e4e92b66d45b923b3b9c)
This allows to see the whole landscape without any areas covered by FoW
in the global viewport. Basically the ambient lighting is set to 1.0
independent of the ambient light map. In the course of this, a second
shader for the landscape has been introduced.
This was not required before, but now most drawing operations require
the shaders to be loaded from Graphics.ocg. Therefore, move the graphics
resource loading earlier in the startup sequence, and make sure we don't
initialize the message board prematurely in OnResolutionChanged().
This usually means there was a script error in the scenario saving function. Better abort instead of overwriting the existing scenario with garbage data.
* added some class and method documentation, removed some superfluous comments like
void C4FoW::Update(C4Rect r)
{
// Update all lights
...
* added ASK comments that need clarification before proper documentation
