This remained undetected for a long time as HeaderCheck is disabled by
default. This commit makes the following file compile again:
// file: compile_me.cpp
#include <LibDNS/Question.h>
// That's it, this was enough to cause a compilation error.
Likewise for most other files touched by this commit.
On every texel access, some floating point instructions involved in
copying 4 floats popped up. Let `Image::texel() const` return a
`FloatVector4 const&` to prevent these operations.
This results in a ~7% FPS increase in GLQuake on my machine.
Looking at `Tubes` before and after this change, comparing the original
loop to the one using `memcpy`, including the time for `memcpy` itself,
resulted in ~15% fewer samples in profiles on my machine.
With 6 bits of precision, the maximum triangle coordinate we can
handle is sqrt(2^31 / (1 << 6)^2) = ~724. Rendering to a target of
800x600 or higher quickly becomes a mess because of integer overflow.
By reducing the subpixel precision to 4 bits, we support coordinates up
to ~2896, which means that we can (try to) render to target sizes like
2560x1440.
This fixes the main menu backdrop for the Half-Life port. It also
introduces more white pixel artifacts in Quake's water / lava
rendering, but this is a level geometry visualization bug (see
`r_novis`).
Up until now, we have only dealt with games that pass Q = 1 for their
texture coordinates. PrBoom+, however, relies on proper homogenous
texture coordinates for its relatively complex sky rendering, which
means that we should perform this per-fragment division.
Each texture unit now has its own texture transformation matrix stack.
Introduce a new texture unit configuration that is synced when changed.
Because we're no longer passing a silly `Vector` when drawing each
primitive, this results in a slightly improved frames per second :^)
Looking at how Khronos defines layers:
https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/Array_Texture
We both have 3D textures and layers of 2D textures, which can both be
encoded in our existing `Typed3DBuffer` as depth. Since we support
depth already in the GPU API, remove layer everywhere.
Also pass in `Texture2D::LOG2_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE` as the maximum number
of mipmap levels, so we do not allocate 999 levels on each Image
instantiation.
This makes it consistent with our other `blit_from_color_buffer` and
paves the way for a third method that will be introduced in one of the
next commits.
`GL_COMBINE` is basically a fixed function calculator to perform simple
arithmetics on configurable fragment sources. This patch implements a
number of texture env parameters with support for the RGBA internal
format.
OpenGL allows GPUs to approximate a triangle's maximum depth slope
which prevents a number computationally expensive instructions. On my
machine, this gives me +6% FPS in Quake III.
We are able to reuse `render_bounds` here since it is the containing
rect of the (X, Y) window coordinates of the triangle, thus its width
and height are the maximum delta X and delta Y, respectively.
The Quake 3 port makes use of this extension to determine a more
efficient multitexturing strategy. Since LibSoftGPU supports it, let's
report the extension in LibGL. :^)
In OpenGL this is called the (base) internal format which is an
expectation expressed by the client for the minimum supported texel
storage format in the GPU for textures.
Since we store everything as RGBA in a `FloatVector4`, the only thing
we do in this patch is remember the expected internal format, and when
we write new texels we fixate the value for the alpha channel to 1 for
two formats that require it.
`PixelConverter` has learned how to transform pixels during transfer to
support this.
A GPU (driver) is now responsible for reading and writing pixels from
and to user data. The client (LibGL) is responsible for specifying how
the user data must be interpreted or written to.
This allows us to centralize all pixel format conversion in one class,
`LibSoftGPU::PixelConverter`. For both the input and output image, it
takes a specification containing the image dimensions, the pixel type
and the selection (basically a clipping rect), and converts the pixels
from the input image to the output image.
Effectively this means we now support almost all OpenGL 1.5 formats,
and all custom logic has disappeared from:
- `glDrawPixels`
- `glReadPixels`
- `glTexImage2D`
- `glTexSubImage2D`
The new logic is still unoptimized, but on my machine I experienced no
noticeable slowdown. :^)
Also skip the test for the `::Always` alpha test function in the hot
loop. This test function is very unlikely to be set, so leave that up
to `::test_alpha()`.
This commit implements glClipPlane and its supporting calls, backed
by new support for user-defined clip planes in the software GPU clipper.
This fixes some visual bugs seen in the Quake III port, in which mirrors
would only reflect correctly from close distances.
According to the OpenGL spec, we're expected to clamp the fragment
depth values to the range `0.f - 1.f` for all polygons.
This fixes Z-fighting issues with the sky in Quake 3.
This implements the depth offset factor that you can set through e.g.
OpenGL's `glPolygonOffset`. Without it, triangles might start to Z-
fight amongst each other.
This fixes the floor decals in Quake 3.
Implement (anti)aliased point drawing and anti-aliased line drawing.
Supported through LibGL's `GL_POINTS`, `GL_LINES`, `GL_LINE_LOOP` and
`GL_LINE_STRIP`.
In order to support this, `LibSoftGPU`s rasterization logic was
reworked. Now, any primitive can be drawn by invoking `rasterize()`
which takes care of the quad loop and fragment testing logic. Three
callbacks need to be passed:
* `set_coverage_mask`: the primitive needs to provide initial coverage
mask information so fragments can be discarded early.
* `set_quad_depth`: fragments survived stencil testing, so depth values
need to be set so depth testing can take place.
* `set_quad_attributes`: fragments survived depth testing, so fragment
shading is going to take place. All attributes like color, tex coords
and fog depth need to be set so alpha testing and eventually,
fragment rasterization can take place.
As of this commit, there are four instantiations of this function:
* Triangle rasterization
* Points - aliased
* Points - anti-aliased
* Lines - anti-aliased
In order to standardize vertex processing for all primitive types,
things like vertex transformation, lighting and tex coord generation
are now taking place before clipping.
Our move to floating point precision has eradicated the pixel artifacts
in Quake 1, but introduced new and not so subtle rendering glitches in
games like Tux Racer. This commit changes three things to get the best
of both worlds:
1. Subpixel logic based on `i32` types was reintroduced, the number of
bits is set to 6. This reintroduces the artifacts in Quake 1 but
fixes rendering of Tux Racer.
2. Before triangle culling, subpixel coordinates are calculated and
stored in `Triangle`. These coordinates are rounded, which fixes the
Quake 1 artifacts. Tux Racer is unaffected.
3. The triangle area (actually parallelogram area) is also stored in
`Triangle` so we don't need to recalculate it later on. In our
previous subpixel code, there was a subtle disconnect between the
two calculations (one with and one without subpixel precision) which
resulted in triangles incorrectly being culled. This fixes some
remaining Quake 1 artifacts.
If a triangle edge is completely horizontal and moving in a positive X
direction, we were erroneously treating it as a top edge. This adds
a better check that accounts for those edges. :^)
By setting the clip plane normals' W coordinate to 1, we can skip two
coordinate retrievals and three additions. This works because the
Vector `.dot()` operation multiplies the W coordinates of both vectors.
We sat on a throne of lies: our `edge_function()` returned positive
values for _clockwise_ vertex rotation instead of _counter-clockwise_,
which was hidden by the fact that we were forcing everything into CW
rotation by an erroneous area comparison (`> 0` instead of `< 0`).
This simplifies our culling code significantly.
Three optimizations are applied:
1. If the list of vertices to clip is empty, return immediately after
clearing the output list.
2. Remember the previous vertex instead of recalculating whether it is
within the clip plane.
3. Instead of copying and swapping lists around, operate on the input
and output lists directly. This prevents a lot of `malloc`/`free`
traffic as a result of vector assignments.
This takes the clipping code CPU load from 3.9% down to 1.8% for
Quake 3 on my machine.
This adds a virtual base class for GPU devices located in LibGPU.
The OpenGL context now only talks to this device agnostic interface.
Currently the device interface is simply a copy of the existing SoftGPU
interface to get things going :^)
This introduces a new device independent base class for Images in LibGPU
that also keeps track of the device from which it was created in order
to prevent assigning images across devices.
