Add shadow filtering (PCF) option.
Fix ugly shadow saturation in old lighting mode.
Fix fancy water shader.
Fix camera matrix computation.
Support scissoring of camera frustum.
Optimise vertex skinning.
Inline various matrix functions.
Support filtering of the list of submitted models before a rendering
pass, for more precise culling.
Optimise water renderer (fixes#721, based on patch by ortalo).
Use scissoring when generating reflection/refraction textures.
Skip reflection/refraction texture generation when no water is visible.
Render alpha-blended objects differently (fixes#434).
Reduce shadow swimming effects.
This was SVN commit r9814.
Remove some redundant vector methods.
Compute skinning for positions and normals simultaneously.
(These changes reduce skinning cost by >50%.)
This was SVN commit r8170.
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.
- properly differentiate between buffer/offset alignment and length
alignment (relevant since block size has been increased to 256k)
- use VfsPath for most game paths instead of CStr
- clean up timer interface and implementation
- self-tests no longer crash
- file_cache.cpp: fix for the case where allocation fails (prevent
deleter from seeing a null pointer)
- allocators: move all shared_ptr-related stuff to its own component;
add DummySharedPtr
- codec: disable checksums (important for performance at work)
- File: made into an interface class to avoid export problems. not
entirely sure about this..
- vfs_path.h, path.h, os_path.h: proper fix for using
fs::change_extension and similar utility functions with derivatives of
basic_path
- lib_api: automatically link against import lib if building lib/ as a
DLL
- path_util: remove unused functions (this component is deprecated)
- compiler.h: add INLINE
- Xeromyces.cpp: pass PIVFS so that GetXMBPath works in self-test
(should do this mostly everywhere rather than have one singleton g_VFS)
This was SVN commit r5537.
* CMeshManager: Changed to check for .pmd and .dae files and convert
and cache as appropriate.
* CModelDef: Fixed misinterpreted doc comments in.
* lib:
* Fixed init/shutdown sequences to support multiple VFS-using tests
correctly.
* Fixed most reported memory leaks from the new leak-reporting test
system.
* Fixed error when trying to dump debug data about fonts after
unloading them.
* Added sphere dae/pmd data for tests.
* Added output buffering to DAE->PMD converter.
* Added precompiled COLLADA converter DLLs.
* Removed old redundant conversion script.
This was SVN commit r4709.
* Skinning is done in a way that works when there's more than one bone
influencing a vertex.
* PMDs now store vertexes in world-space instead of bind-space. (The
loader converts the old-version PMDs so they still work.)
* Moved SkinPoint, SkinNormal into CModelDef so it could use them when
loading the old PMDs.
* Made the FastNormals approach non-optional, so the inverse-transpose
bone matrices could be removed. Changed the explanation of why it's a
valid approach.
* Quaternion: Made GetInverse assume that the quaternions have unit
length (which they do when they're representing 3D rotations).
* lib: Added support for DDS files that aren't a multiple of 4x4 (most
useful for 1x1, 2x2, etc that are still powers of two).
* Actor Viewer: Added white terrain texture to the minimal test mod, so
shadows are visible. Changed default so walk/run animations don't move
the unit along the ground.
* Removed some redundant repetition in doc comments.
* Removed some unnecessary #includes.
This was SVN commit r4696.
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.
- add convenience macros for config_db(CFG_GET_SYS_VAL)
- VFSUtil::EnumDirEnts now uses flags instead of bool recursive
- UNUSED() for params, UNUSED2 (<- need better name) for variables
- config.h defines must be tested with #if (always defined) -> allows
detecting misspellings thanks to compiler warnings
- replace debug_assert(0) with debug_warn (its sole purpose)
- replace ScriptingHost::ValueToInt et al with ToPrimitive
- use nommgr.h to disable both mmgr and VC debug heap
This was SVN commit r2585.
