Trying to make up for some of the startup speed lost in the SDL
transition. This saves about 1s from start (from ~3s), and about 500 MB
of RAM.
- Faster TIE unpack by merging matrix groups, more efficient vertex
transforms, and skipping normal transforms on groups with no normals.
- Refactor generic merc and merc to use a single renderer with multiple
interfaces, rather than many renderers. Removed "LightningRenderer" as a
special thing, but Warp is still special
- Add more profiling stuff to startup and the loader.
- Remove `SDL_INIT_HAPTIC` - this turned out to be needed for
force-feedback steering wheels, and not needed for controller vibration
- Switched `vag-player` to use quicksort instead of the default GOAL
sort (very slow)
This moves the blerc math from mips2c to the Merc2 renderer, and uses
floats instead.
We could potentially do this on the GPU, which would be even faster, but
this isn't that slow in the first place.
Adds support for adding custom subtitles to Jak 2 audio. Comes with a
new editor for the new system and format. Compared to the Jak 1 system,
this is much simpler to make an editor for.
Comes with a few subtitles already made as an example.
Cutscenes are not officially supported but you can technically subtitle
those with editor, so please don't right now.
This new system supports multiple subtitles playing at once (even from a
single source!) and will smartly push the subtitles up if there's a
message already playing:
Unlike in Jak 1, it will not hide the bottom HUD when subtitles are
active:
Sadly this leaves us with not much space for the subtitle region (and
the subtitles are shrunk when the minimap is enabled) but when you have
guards and citizens talking all the time, hiding the HUD every time
anyone spoke would get really frustrating.
The subtitle speaker is also color-coded now, because I thought that
would be fun to do.
TODO:
- [x] proper cutscene support.
- [x] merge mode for cutscenes so we don't have to rewrite the script?

Should fix https://github.com/open-goal/jak-project/issues/2679
Here's a test program that will trigger the bug when near these guards:
```lisp
(define *cquery* (new 'global 'collide-query))
(defun test-bad-collide ()
(let ((lower (new 'static 'vector :x 1681893.8750 :y 61314.2031 :z 345208.6562 :w 1.))
(upper (new 'static 'vector :x 1701603.8750 :y 67624.0625 :z 357881.0312 :w 1.))
;(cquery (new 'stack-no-clear 'collide-query))
)
(set! (-> *cquery* collide-with) (the-as collide-spec 1))
(set! (-> *cquery* ignore-process0) #f)
(set! (-> *cquery* ignore-process1) #f)
(set! (-> *cquery* ignore-pat) (new 'static 'pat-surface :noentity #x1 :nojak #x1 :probe #x1 :noendlessfall #x1))
(set! (-> *cquery* action-mask) (collide-action solid))
(set! (-> *cquery* bbox min quad) (-> lower quad))
(set! (-> *cquery* bbox max quad) (-> upper quad))
(format 0 "doing collide...~%")
(fill-using-bounding-box *collide-cache* *cquery*)
(format 0 "have ~d and ~d~%" (-> *collide-cache* num-tris) (-> *collide-cache* num-prims))
)
(none)
)
```
As far as I can tell, there's a totally invalid collide-hash with an
inside `axis-scale.z`. On the PS2, it gets ignore because of how
float->int works for floats that are too big. On PC, it ends up using a
negative value and loop forever.
Normally, when they allocate a VagCmd, they do a bunch of stuff to clear
all the status bits and reset things
in particular the InitVAGCmd function does a lot
but for the stereo command, they do a lot less:
Which means that the new_stereo_command can just have random status bits
left over from whatever the last user had.
we seem to end up in a state where byte21 is set, and this causes
everything else to be wrong and off-by-one dma transfer. My guess is
that the original game avoided this bug due to lucky timing that I don't
understand.
I think the fix of just clearing byte21 is ok because there's no way
that the old value of the byte is useful after the command is
repurposed.
Also fixed an original game bug in `loader.gc` on a method that's called
quite often, though I have no clue what erroneous behavior it could have
even caused.
I sorted the list of sources on my SDL PR to reduce future merge
conflicts, but in the meantime everytime something gets added to it I
have a pretty rough set of conflicts to resolve. Committing this early
to preserve my sanity
This PR is a combination of
https://github.com/open-goal/jak-project/pull/2507 and some additional
changes to port Shadow VU1 to OpenGL. As far as I can tell, it's
working.

Saves 16 bits and lets us align the `color_index` field properly.
This shouldn't improve or decrease performance by any noticeable amount
except maybe in really low end systems.
Adds sprite distort, fixes buggy sprite rendering in progress, adds
scissoring support (used in various scrolling menus) and a very basic
implementation of `blit-displays`. This is enough to make the fade
effect in the progress menu work, along with all the menus working
properly without needing to use the REPL. This does not make screen
flipping and the filter when failing a mission work.
Added support in the decompiler for detecting `dma-buffer-add-gs-set`
and `dma-buffer-add-gs-set-flusha` and updated all of the Jak 2 code to
use it. Readability improved!
Fixes decompiler issue with `with-dma-buffer-add-bucket` not inlining
forms which broke syntax. Fixes store error warnings showing up for
non-existent stores, there is now a dedicated pass for this at the end.
I started work on making `BITBLTBUF` stuff work in the DirectRenderer,
but stopped for now because it wasn't strictly necessary. It will still
assert like before.
I'm not sure what has changed here...but rebooting in debug mode now
hangs.
- It seems to exit the GFX loop prematurely because `MasterExit` is
still set to `RESTART_IN_DEBUG`
https://github.com/open-goal/jak-project/blob/master/game/runtime.cpp#L431
- And then it gets stuck waiting for the DECI thread to close
This works, but im not sure if it's the right fix / what has changed to
require this.
Allows for removing a line in the subtitle editor finally, also fixed
the following:
- The path the editor used didn't include the game name
- Loading the subtitle project is too slow to do on startup now
(4-5seconds in a debug build), do it on demand now
Updates the decompiler for the new format and there's new macros. This
new format should be easier to read/parse.
Also rewrote `sp-init-fields!` (both jak 1 and 2) from assembly to GOAL.
Hopefully I did not miss any regressions in Jak 1/2 while updating the
files, it's a lot.
- [x] compare NTSC-K
- [x] compare NTSC-J
- [x] compare PAL
- [x] figure out version order
- [x] ~~write delta patch for spanish text~~ no need for now
Fixes#2530
Fixes issue where warp effect looks wrong near the edge of the screen -
there was an unhandled `REGION_CLAMP` texture setting.
Fixes a potential bug where "warp page" things wouldn't be drawn at all
because there is no PC warp bucket. Unclear if anything actually fits
this category, but it doesn't hurt.
Turn on PC-format texture uploads for the water page so the precursor
guy uses the right texture. It has to use generic because it abuses the
generic death query thing to spawn particles.
Workaround for some issues with rebuilding level files after changing
engine files. Not a perfect solution, but probably good enough.
Doesn't actually do anything in Jak 2 because the collide mesh isn't
extracted, but the functionality is all there. Also updated the renderer
a bit to keep the colors more readable.
Fixes crashes when killing the big spider, killing predator metal heads,
and watching the end cutscene. The presursor guy is the wrong color, but
I don't have time to look into this today.
I saw that some new speedrunning-related text was added to the English
language, so I decided to translate them. Meanwhile I also made some
minor adjustments/fixes to existing translations.
BUT I have a question...
Do we really need all this text?
They are displayed in a menu that is called 'NEW INDIVIDUAL LEVEL RUN'.
So adding IL after the level names is kind of redundant in my opinion -
the existing level name text entries could be used instead. And the
reason why I care so much is because it is hard to come up with a
"translation" for IL. But if I am forced to, I will come up with
something.
I will keep this PR a draft until I know what the main jak-project
people think about this "IL" issue. And I will adjust my branch
accordingly.
Disables the fog hack for Jak 2, where it's not useful and kind of
breaks in most levels which rely on dark vertices that aren't underwater
(e.g. city windows).
Add the vortex renderer. The vortex texture isn't there yet (it uses the
same texture as clouds), so it uses a checkerboard. But the
colors/vertices seem right.
This way a user can take multiple data samples from one/multiple play
sessions quickly. Creates a directory called profile_data that is added
to gitignore to place the data in, and checks to see if a file is there
and if so it creates prof1.json prof2.json prof3.json and so on...
- 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)
Fixes some mistakes with merc draw modes. The glass in the palace level
no longer writes to the depth buffer (it's "water"):
Also fixes the one-frame flickers when level draw orders change. We
might be able to make this more efficient in the future, but this will
at least fix the frame with nothing drawn.
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.
My mistake -- testing focused too much on preserving the existing
behaviour I clearly forgot to make sure the new stuff worked properly.
Just had to early out and not modify the args if they were in the new
format.
An attempt to cleanup the last CLI interface we have left to cleanup.
- `gk` args now follow the typical convention ie. `--proj-path` instead
of `-proj-path`.
- args that are passed through to the rest of the application / the
game's runtime use the typical convention of following a `--`
- I'm thinking some args shouldn't be handled at this level ie
(`-nodisplay`, `-vm`, `-novm` or `-jak2`) These could be better
documented as legitimate flags and passed in via a nice struct. They
don't seem to be used in `InitParams` but I'll triple check.
There's a temporary shim here so there is no coupled release with the
launcher (right now it executes `gk` with a few args). So I just change
the old args into the new format. After one release cycle, I can change
it in the launcher and delete it here.
I am unsure if this will break the bash shellscript usages -- not sure
which args were usually passed into `$@`
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.
