Also add a shortcut for some defines to clean-up material files slightly
and make the link between sampler and shader more explicit.
This was SVN commit r16427.
Switch all the constant strings in graphics code to use the new
variables.
This avoids the cost of instantiating CStrInterns at runtime every
frame.
This was SVN commit r13906.
CShaderDefines is designed to be efficient to copy and compare, but not
to construct. Conditional defines were constructing new CShaderDefines
for many models every frame.
Precompute all the possible conditional combinations of CShaderDefines
when a material is first loaded, so they can be looked up at no cost
when rendering.
This was SVN commit r13902.
Let materials specify shader uniform values.
Use interned strings for shader uniform/attribute names.
Remove confusing float* cast operator on CVector4D.
Simplify and clean up CVector4D.
Remove non-supported 'old' lighting model.
This was SVN commit r11453.
Support conditional expressions in shader effect XML files.
Consolidate fixed-function model rendering into the shader system.
Remove lots of now-obsolete renderer code.
Move shader defines from std::map to new class with interned data, for
performance.
Move texture from model into material.
Alleviate singletonitis.
Remove obsolete lodbias setting.
Remove unused terrain shadow transparency.
This was SVN commit r11423.
Change lighting model for new maps to allow better overbrightness.
Cache player colours instead of loading from scripts every time the
renderer wants them.
This was SVN commit r9123.
Stop ignoring actor XML animation speeds.
Add decentralised registration of hotloaders.
Move player ID storage into CModel, to simplify CUnit.
Remove obsolete unit ID allocation code.
Remove some material junk.
This was SVN commit r7605.
this snowballed into a massive search+destroy of the hodgepodge of
mostly equivalent types we had in use (int, uint, unsigned, unsigned
int, i32, u32, ulong, uintN).
it is more efficient to use 64-bit types in 64-bit mode, so the
preferred default is size_t (for anything remotely resembling a size or
index). tile coordinates are ssize_t to allow more efficient conversion
to/from floating point. flags are int because we almost never need more
than 15 distinct bits, bit test/set is not slower and int is fastest to
type. finally, some data that is pretty much directly passed to OpenGL
is now typed accordingly.
after several hours, the code now requires fewer casts and less
guesswork.
other changes:
- unit and player IDs now have an "invalid id" constant in the
respective class to avoid casting and -1
- fix some endian/64-bit bugs in the map (un)packing. added a
convenience function to write/read a size_t.
- ia32: change CPUID interface to allow passing in ecx (required for
cache topology detection, which I need at work). remove some unneeded
functions from asm, replace with intrinsics where possible.
This was SVN commit r5942.
replaced all (*) CStr / CStrW by-value params with const reference. hoo
boy.
please always perform this optimization (actually standard idiom) when
writing the code - it takes little work, tells the next guy that the
string won't be modified, and makes a large performance difference.
(* where possible.. a few require other changes and will follow later)
This was SVN commit r4151.
