Without this, some code will enable (and set other parameters for)
whatever random texture unit the previous stage had selected. This can
break any fixed-function rendering, since either it will not have
enabled the correct texture unit, or its correct setup will be
interfered with by another texture unit that shouldn't be enabled. (This
doesn't affect ARB/GLSL shader rendering, since they don't care about
the enabled state, but the GUI (and some debug things) are still FFP in
the default ARB mode.)
Fixes#2833 (in which the fancy water shader selected texture units 5/6,
which then got enabled, and remained enabled forever).
This was SVN commit r16372.
Some drivers (at least the Intel drivers on Windows) are slow at
incrementally updating a VBO with hundreds of calls to glBufferSubData
every frame. Performance is significantly better if you use
glBufferData(NULL) to tell it to discard all the previous contents, and
then re-upload all the data at once.
Update CVertexBuffer so that GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW/GL_STREAM_DRAW buffers are
handled with the new mechanism. This requires the caller to hold onto
the backing store so it can be re-uploaded when necessary, and needs a
bit more signalling to indicate exactly what needs uploading.
I see an improvement from roughly 60 to 75 fps on Intel HD Graphics
3000, Windows, 1024x768, Siwa Oasis.
This was SVN commit r16241.
BoundingSphere is similar to a bounding box, but more spherical.
SOverlaySphere is useful for visualising BoundingSphere (it's quite
inefficient and should only be used for debug functionality).
Normalise the camera frustum clipping planes, so that IsSphereVisible
gives the correct result.
This was SVN commit r15261.
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.
Backport os_getversion from premake4.4-beta4 and extend it to support
POSIX-compilant systems.
Add some missing newlines at the end of file as these cause warnings on
OpenBSD.
Update the config paths.
This was SVN commit r11970.
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.
Add textured line overlay rendering.
Change terrain height calculations to be triangulation-dependent for
improved accuracy.
Add triangulation-dependent terrain normal function.
Support separate S/T wrap modes for textures.
Rename CVector2D_Maths since it no longer conflicts with simulation
CVector2D.
Coalesce freed chunks in vertex buffers, to avoid excessive
fragmentation.
Add some things to help debug vertex buffer allocation a little.
This was SVN commit r9929.
the old debug_assert always ran and tested the expression, which slows
down release builds. wrapping them in #ifndef NDEBUG is clumsy. the new
ASSERT behaves like assert and ENSURE like the old debug_assert. Let's
change any time-critical but not-super-important ENSURE to ASSERT to
speed up release builds. (already done in bits.h and unique_range.h)
This was SVN commit r9362.
added player_id_t typedef and INVALID_PLAYER, use that instead of -1.
also added sanity checks to cpu.cpp to ensure ARCH_* is correct (see
http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13327&hl=)
and further predefined macros to arch.h just to be sure.
This was SVN commit r8079.
Rewrite font builder tool to be much simpler and to support more text
effects.
Change GUI to use new set of fonts.
Switch font textures from TGA to PNG so they're easier for the font
builder to create.
Support RGBA font textures (for e.g. stroked text).
Greatly improve text rendering performance by using vertex arrays.
Fix rendering code leaving vertex buffers bound.
Add 'clip' property to GUI text objects, to disable clipping when
rendering.
Delete part of unused console function registration system.
This was SVN commit r7595.
Giant merge from

Infrastructure is largely complete, gameplay is largely missing
Disabled by default; use command-line flag "-sim2"
(Second attempt at commit...)
This was SVN commit r7259.
