- better handling of the `disable-fog` settings for merc, should fix the
spotlights. There's a setting in the merc effect, and also a runtime
flag for the draw-control. I'm not actually sure what reads these, but
the draw-control one is definitely used to disable fog on the
spotlights.
- increase merc draw limit to try to fix the issue about partially drawn
citizens in the city
- remove useless debug prints (it's okay to die in init, and the medium
load buffer size mode is understood now)
This should fix a bunch of texture-related issues by generating a table
of overlapping textures and just... adjusting them slightly so they
don't overlap. It's not the most elegant solution in the world, but I
think it's no worse than the existing hard-coded tpage dir stuff.
Definitely needs a clean up pass, but I think the functionality is very
close.
There's a few "hacks" still:
- I am using the emerc logic for environment mapping, which doesn't care
about the length of the normals. I can't figure out how the normal
scaling worked in etie. I want to do a little bit more experimentation
with this before merging.
- There is some part about adgifs for TIE and ETIE that I don't
understand. The clearly correct behavior of TIE/ETIE is that the alpha
settings from the adgif shader are overwritten by the settings from the
renderer. But I can't figure out how this happens in all cases.
- Fade out is completely disabled. I think this is fine because the
performance difference isn't bad. But if you are comparing screenshots
with PCSX2, it will make things look a tiny bit different.
There are *a lot* of file changes and while I have carefully gone
through every gsrc change to fix up manual patches, there might still be
spots that I missed.
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.
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.
- 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.
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.
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
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).
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.
When I cleaned up the `game.gp` some DGOs were no longer referenced
because my first dependency script omitted them -- thinking they weren't
required. From the perspective of the source files they indeed weren't
required but we still have to produce the DGO file.
also works around #2177
This adds environment mapping support to `Merc2`, and turns it on for
Jak 1 and Jak 2.
- The performance is much better
- Jak 1 can be toggled back to the old behavior with `(set! *emerc-hack*
#f)`. The new environment mapping is identical to the old one everywhere
I checked.
- Jak 1 still falls back to generic for ripple/texscroll/blerc/eyes -
there's still no dynamic texture or vertex updating support. The eye
detection stuff will sometimes flag stuff as eyes which is not eyes,
which is fine, but means that generic will be used in some places where
emerc could be used. For example, the shiny plates on jak's arm will be
drawn with generic because jak has eyes.
- Jak 2 hasn't been checked super carefully against PCSX2 yet.
- Jak 2 still isn't technically using emerc, but instead putting emerc
models in the merc bucket.
- The interface to merc is a lot different now and totally custom
OpenGOAL DMA code. The original merc drawing asm doesn't run anymore.
- The FR3 format changed
- Something funky going on with foreground lighting in escape, but
doesn't seem to be related to this change?
Performance comparison, jak 1, in likely the most generic-merc heavy
spot:
Initial implementation of the `ocean-mid`, `ocean-far` and `ocean-near`
renderers for Jak 2.
There's still a few things to sort out, mainly:
- [x] ~Backwards compatibility with Jak 1. The only thing that currently
stands in the way of that is figuring out a clean way to "un-hardcode"
the texture base pointer in C++ without creating a completely separate
`OceanTexture` class for Jak 2. One thing I thought of would be
modifying `BucketRenderer`'s virtual `init_textures` method to also pass
the `GameVersion`, but I'm not sure if there's a better way.~
- [x] ~The sudden transition from `ocean-near` to `ocean-mid`. Not sure
why it's happening or how to fix it.~
- [x] The ocean has two new methods in Jak 2, `ocean::89` and
`ocean::79`, one of which seems to be related to time of day sky colors.
~Even without them implemented, the end result looks quite close, so we
may be able to skip them?~ `ocean::89` generates `ocean-mid` envmap
textures, so it will likely be required, but will not be handled right
now.
Reverted the VU prologue removals because it made the tests fail.
Adding support for better child-type method docstrings. This is a
problem unique to methods.
Usually, a child-type will have the same signature and a common name
will apply, but the implementation is different. This means, you
probably want a different docstring to describe what is happening.
Currently this is possible to do via `:replace`. The problem with
replace is two fold:
- a replaced method ends up in the generated `deftype`...because you
usually change the signature!
- we don't put docstrings in the `deftype` in normal GOAL, this is just
something we do for the `all-types` file (they go in the `defmethod`
instead)
- more importantly, this means anytime you now want to change the
parent's name/args/return type -- you have to apply that change
everywhere.
So this is a better design you can now just declare the method like so:
```clj
(:override-doc "my new docstring" <method_id>)
```
And internally a pseudo-replaced method will be added, but it will
inherit everything from the parent (except the docstring of course)
Unrelated - I also made all the keyword args for declaring methods not
depend on ordering
This also adds support for documenting virtual and non-virtual state
handlers. For example:
```clj
(:states
(part-tester-idle (:event "test") symbol))
```
or
```clj
(idle () _type_ :state (:event "test") 20)
```
I will probably add the ability to give some sort of over-view docstring
at a later date.

- started documenting the files I glossed over, some are totally done,
others are just partially done
- I changed the decompiler to automatically initialize the
art-group-info from the json file. This makes updating gsrc, even a
single file at a time, have consistent naming
- Though I disabled this functionality for jak 1, as I have no idea if
using the ntsc art groups will cause a regression for different versions
- fix indentation for docstrings -- it still doesn't look great, but
this is now a formatting concern, rather than the docstring having a
bunch of happen-stance leading whitespace.
- make sure bsp is processed on `l` levels in extraction (caused missing
remaps)
- clean up a few prints in extraction
- handle the <15 byte differences in art group files automatically (no
more errors about file naming)
- fix potential exception thrown by merc2 in a few ways: fixed bad data
in FR3's, check texture index just in case, and handle exceptions a
little bit better (still a crash, but at least you get a print)
- fix mips2 ocean stuff causing ocean far crashes
Manual patches in:
- `tomb-boulder`: a few `ppointer->handle`s (I think) were not being
decompiled properly (all used in combination with `clone-anim-once`)
- `ruins-obs`, `pillar-collapse`: `art-joint-anim` casts
- `tomb-beetle`: commented out a call to `shadow-control-method-14` that
was crashing the game when spawning the beetles
- `grunt-mech`: commented out `(.mula.s)` instruction
Notes:
- `enemy-info`'s `idle-anim-script` is most likely a `(pointer
idle-control-frame)`, however, some `nav-enemy-info` labels set it to
`#f` (first encountered in `tomb-beetle`, but also present in `hal`,
`roboguard` and `metalkor-setup`), which crashes the decompiler. This
may become a problem in the future when we eventually get to these
files. For this PR, I made `tomb-beetle` decompile with
`idle-anim-script` set to `#f` and have not noticed any issues/crashes
with that.
- `tomb-boulder` compiles and doesn't crash, but when trying to play the
Daxter chase sequence, the boulder sometimes either spawns at the origin
or spawns in the correct place, but doesn't move.

- worked around audio code for gungame, the tutorials now function
- auto-exit cutscenes upon entry. This doesn't always work nicely (i
didnt want to cause any side-effects due to messing with load states)
but it atleast stops jak from being stuck forever waiting for the
cutscene to load
Effects the following files:
- [x] vehicle-rider
- [x] vehicle-control
- [x] vehicle-effects
- [x] vehicle
~~- [ ] vehicle-util~~
- [x] vehicle-physics
- [x] vehicle-states
~~- [ ] vehicle-guard~~
~~- [ ] traffic-engine~~
~~- [ ] traffic-manager~~
With the exception of traffic-engine, most of these files are either
done or have 1-3 stubborn functions remaining. Draft while I try to
resolve as many as possible / cleanup names and such.

Fixes:
- a very old bug in depth in DirectRenderer, probably from the original
tfrag stuff. Looked at PCSX2 source code to see how 32/24 bit depths are
handled. This fixes hud sprites being drawn behind level geometry.
- saturate `vftoi4` like the ps2 does when the float is too large,
fixing hidden text in `hud`. For now it's only using this in the font
code because this saturation is actually kinda slow and hasn't been a
problem in other places.
- fix crazy particle spawning issue with blue gun and dripping stuff.
This would happen if particles kill themselves while being processed
(through a callback)
A big one...
I figure even if we would like to change the way the particle/scene code
is output -- it'd be easier to find patterns with it all decompiled.
I've updated my script so it can easily be used to mass update these
files:
```bash
task update-gsrc-glob GLOB="**/*-part*.gc"
```
> for example will update gsrc files with `part` in their name -- if
they are in ref tests (so uncompleted ones aren't touched)
I found a few issues along the way that I'll have to make issues for
soon.
- decompile `lights.gc`
- decompile remaining `target-death` function, you can die now
- fix float issue with `matrix-from-two-vectors-smooth!` making jak face
the wrong way in the slide thing
