This fixes the issue where elevators leave you behind (stack structure
related)
At the same time I cleaned up some things I found along the way, most
notably changing `script-context`'s `basic` field to `object` as
non-basics use this method as well.
Fixes#2305
Three main changes:
- Adds support for the texture scrolling effect used on conveyor belts,
and turn it on for jak 2.
- Use merc instead of generic in jak 1 for ripple/water/texscroll stuff
(non-ocean water, lava, dark eco, etc). This is a pretty big speedup in
a lot of places.
- Fix a really old bug with blending mode used to draw environment maps.
The effect is that envmaps were half as bright as they should have been.
As usual, there's a flag to go back to the old behavior on jak 1. Set
these to `#t` to use generic like we used to.
```
*texscroll-force-generic*
*ripple-force-generic*
```
The format has changed, and everything must be rebuilt (C++, FR3's, GOAL
code)
Support rendering eyes with merc for both jak 1 and jak 2.
For jak 1, everything should look the same, but merc will be used to
draw eyes. This means that jak is now fully drawn with merc!
For jak 2, eyes should draw, but there are still a few issues:
- the tbp/clut ptr trick is used a lot for these eye textures, so
there's a lot that use the wrong texture
- I had to enable a bunch more "texture uploads" (basically emulating
the ps2 texture system) in order to get the eyes to upload. It would be
much better if the eye renderer could somehow grab the texture from the
merc model info, skipping the vram addressing stuff entirely. I plan to
return to this.
- I disabled some sky draws in `sky-tng`. After turning on pris2
uploads, the sky flashed in a really annoying way.
Work in progress minimap. Known issues:
- "path finding" doesn't appear to work - it gets stuck forever in many
cases
- some nasty patches around timer-based code
- jak arrow blending issues
- would be nice to make it higher resolution
if the search is forced to terminate due to iteration/time limits, the
icon is not in the right place
I didn't actually visually notice much of a difference with these hacks
unlike in Jak 1, but I also avoided checking the missions thoroughly
since the game crashes very often right now.
Fix crash when the game tries to spawn `jellyfish` in Underport and
temporarily disable the rendering of the warp effect until it's properly
implemented.
- Disable depth test for sprite glow (VU1 programs only `sq.xy` and
leaves `z` alone, which has Z_MAX from the template)
- Fix tfrag/tie/shrub issues when `use-camera-other` is set.
Where applicable, of course.
My system language is set to English so I actually can't test this. If
anyone has their Windows language (NOT LOCALE) set to Spanish, German,
French, Italian or Japanese please test this.
Fixes#1734
Also fixes the opengoal debugger on Windows and fixes the decomp for
`menu` which was causing some crashes related to input handling.
`*alert-level-settings*` was actually an inline array and we were
indexing past the end of it.
I think this will fix some of the strange on-foot guard behavior too.
Increase level heaps and borrow heaps. The level heap increase was
likely not needed, but better safe than sorry. We allocate the 128 MB
main heap anyway so there's no harm.
Also fix the crash when using `-boot`. As I thought it was just a
one-line typo in the kernel.
Fixes the aspect ratio of the font renderer (Jak 2 does not need the
same hacks as Jak 1), the custom letterbox/pillarbox sizes and fixes the
heap display.

Adds the `pckernel` system to Jak 2, allowing you to do the PC-specific
things that Jak 1 lets you do like change game resolution, etc.
In other to reduce the amount of code duplication for something that
we're gonna be changing a lot over time, I split it into a few more code
files. In this new system, `pckernel-h.gc`, `pckernel-common.gc`
(previously `pckernel.gc`) and `pc-debug-common.gc` are the files that
should be shared across all games (I hacked the Jak 2 project to pull
these files from the Jak 1 folder), while `pckernel-impl.gc`,
`pckernel.gc` and `pc-debug-methods.gc` are their respective
game-specific counterparts that should be loaded after. I'm not fully
happy with this, I think it's slightly messy, but it cleanly separates
code that should be game-specific and not accidentally copied around and
code that should be the same for all games anyway.
Ports some of the custom PC port debugging code from Jak 1, such as the
entity debugger, Anim Tester X and part tester, to Jak 2 and gives the
PC menu code the same treatment Jak 1 received recently in #2216.
Some adjustments have been made to make things work in Jak 2 and some
stuff is still incomplete.
The majority of the default PC menu code has been left commented out in
preparation for @ManDude's plan to port the rest of the Jak 1 `pckernel`
features to Jak 2.
Also adds the code for `palace-scenes` to gsrc as that seems to have
been missed.
Fixes a rare crash that can sometimes happen when civilians are picking
a direction to flee in, where a branch count may be 0, causing a divide
by 0 MATH_EXCEPTION.
Moves PC-specific entity and debug menu things to `entity-debug.gc` and
`default-menu-pc.gc` respectively and makes `(declare-file (debug))`
work as it should (no need to wrap the entire file in `(when
*debug-segment*` now!).
Also changes the DGO descriptor format so that it's less verbose. It
might break custom levels, but the format change is very simple so it
should not be difficult for anyone to update to the new format. Sadly,
you lose the completely useless ability to use DGO object names that
don't match the source file name. The horror!
I've also gone ahead and expanded the force envmap option to also force
the ripple effect to be active. I did not notice any performance or
visual drawbacks from this. Gets rid of some distracting LOD and some
water pools appearing super flat (and pitch back for dark eco).
Fixes#1424
Manual patches:
`(trans idle krew-boss)`: `collide-shape` array created on the stack
changed to `(pointer collide-shape)`

Implements the jak 2 lightning renderer as an alternate path through
Generic2. Also set up some generic stuff in the goal code.
There is a problem with the texture pool, which doesn't support the case
where two textures have the same tbp, but different cluts. So lightning
is often the wrong color (usually red).
I did a pass through all missions, fixing issues as they came up. Also
got `seal-at-waterslums` working -- the best mission in the game 🥳

Manual patches:
- `drill-turret`: The static data for `*turret-13-path*`,
`*turret-14-path*` and `*turret-15-path*` was decompiled by hand and the
integers in the `set-speed-mult` events have been replaced with boxed
integer arrays that contain only that integer in order to make the
compiler happy. To that effect, the event handler in `target-turret` was
changed to access that array instead of just accessing the int.
- `hover-nav-control`: In `hover-nav-control::10`, `arg2` is usually a
`vector`, but there are some places where it is called with `#t` as
`arg2` and, subsequently, crashes the game because it tries to access
the `quad` of `arg2` if `arg2` is truthy. To mitigate this, the
condition `arg2` has been replaced with `(and (!= arg2 #t) arg2)` (in
this case, it would jump to the `else` that just resets the `dest-vel`
and `transv` `quad`s)
- `drill-baron`: The static data for `*drill-ship-turret-speed-event*`
has been decompiled by hand.
TODOs:
- Jellyfish crash the game
- Destroying the metalhead eggs that are on the breakable wall crashes
the game (already happened with the Peacemaker before)
- Figure out why static data of type `turret-path-event` doesn't
decompile
The docs for all the hover-nav and nav-network code could use some love
in the future, I'm not smart enough to figure out what any of that code
actually means, but it seems to work...
Also threw in the fix for the ▲ that was accidentally left commented
out.
No more ghost town!
Manual patches:
- `hal3-course`: In `(anon-function 17 hal3-course)`, the decompiler is
doing something strange with `s3-0` that fails to compile, so I just
removed the `set!` and inlined the condition in the `when`.
- `guard`: Rewrote `(.mula.s)` stuff
This is a WIP while I'm learning the ins and outs of decompilation, but
putting up what I have for 2 reasons:
- Hoping someone can double check I'm on the right path (all functions
have signatures, all reasonably safe guesses for types have been put in,
using "object" for type where they're not)
- Might be blocked by not being able to run the offline-tests as a PAL
scrub
I'm going to look at what might be involved in making tests work for
PAL, but wouldn't be surprised if I have to wait to get a black label
version and come back to this after :(

This PR adds a feature to merc2 to update vertices. This will be needed
to efficient do effects like blerc/ripple/texture scroll. It's enabled
for blerc in jak 1 and jak 2, but with a few disclaimers:
- currently we still use the mips2c blerc implementation, which is slow
and has some "jittering" because of integer precision. When porting to
PC, there was an additional synchronization problem because blerc
overwrites the merc data as its being read by the renderers. I _think_
this wasn't an issue on PS2 because the blerc dma is higher priority
than the VIF1 DMA, but I'm not certain. Either way, I had to add a mutex
for this on PC to avoid very slight flickering/gaps. This isn't ideal
for performance, but still beats generic by a significant amount in
every place I tested. If you see merc taking 2ms to draw, it is likely
because it is stuck waiting on blerc to finish. This will go away once
blerc itself is ported to C++.
- in jak 1, we end up using generic in some cases where we could use
merc. In particular maia in village3 hut. This will be fixed later once
we can use merc in more places. I don't want to mess with the
merc/generic selection logic when we're hopefully going to get rid of it
soon.
- There is no support for ripple or texture scroll. These use generic on
jak 1, and remain broken on jak 2.
- Like with `emerc`, jak 1 has a toggle to go back to the old behavior
`*blerc-hack*`.
- In most cases, toggling this causes no visual differences. One
exception is Gol's teeth. I believe this is caused by texture coordinate
rounding issues, where generic has an additional float -> int -> float
compared to PC merc. It is very hard to notice so I'm not going to worry
about it.
