They still aren't perfect, but now they are at least not quite so obviously just translucent polygons over the level. A mixture between partially modulating the background colours and adding the fog colour. Notably white fog blocks look like they're brightening what's behind them.
Additive was also setting noalphatest before, can probably decide that depending on what it needs anyway. I don't think it's currently used anyway.
Sorts all translucent sprites and MD2s so they're drawn after all the opaque ones. Fixes most of the observable issues between translucent MD2s and opaque sprites/MD2s.
Only use glCopyTexImage2D when first creating the screen texture, use glCopyTexSubImage2D anytime after that as it does not define a new texture each time.
Flushing of the screen textures has been implemented for when the screen size changes (so that the screen textures don't stay at a wrong size) and the game is closed, I believe they would leave a memory leak before.
The Far clipping plane did not need to be nearly as high as it was, the new value is 32768, which I suspect is about how far software can render before it completely falls apart.
It is desirable to increase the near clipping plane to between 6-10, but it can introduce more issues with close geometry not being drawn when the player or camera is scaled or viewheight is set to MIN in first person view. It would also stop sprites from being drawn ever so slightly too early, but this isn't too much of an issue and isn't too noticeable with those values. Might look into scaling near clipping plane in accordance to camera scale in the future.
The reason for wanting to increase the near clipping plane is because the small value can cause very noticeable Z-fighting where there shouldn't be on older GPU's, usually Intel ones, that don't support 24-bits for the depth buffer.
- controllable strengths between 0-31 for COLORMAP lump like before
- arbitrary colour indices in the palette via TRANSMAP lumps, with strengths 0-9
- exposed to Lua as v.fadeScreen(color, strength)!
* Remove last vestiges of V_STATICPATCH.
Additionally, place some optimisations in both software and OpenGL; in particular one has been added for when all of back and front sector (floor and ceiling) is sky: since everything is "open" anyway, we can simply the usual checks involved.
Thankfully it was really just a copy+paste of the code I already tinkered with for the normal ceiling sky based thok barriers, but tweaked for floors instead
* Completely redid how splitscreen works, with eventual support for quads. Squish per-player stuff automatically into the right places! Works in GL, associated flag kills V_SPLITSCREEN.
* Seriously update the lives-drawing function for all gametypes, with strings that replace the lives number whenever it's missing (deprecates SKINNAMEPADDING).
* Improved how the nosshack works, alongside many other refactorings.
* Update all the other V_DrawCroppedPatch calls to match the new behaviour.
* Fix the OGL version of V_DrawCroppedPatch to match the new behaviour.
(To justify my changes: It's not exposed to Lua, and the function signature was a mess. This way it's easier to mentally map how it would work.)
Also removed the + 1 from newtime, since there was never really any need for it. It just offset the interpolation so it went like (1 -> 2] instead of [1 -> 2), so you never saw the base appearance for each frame except at the end of any frames interpolating to it
Changed DrawMD2Ex's duration/tics type to INT32 so -1 comparisons work, probably want to change the signs elsewhere too but this is fine for now
ATI_RAGE_PRO_COMPATIBILITY isn't used, and was disabled in r_minigl.c (the only other file that mentioned it) anyway. So let's get rid of support for it!
