This PR adds detection of the `launch-particles` and `seconds-per-frame`
macros to the decompiler, removing a lot of bloat and hiding many
process register uses.
I also added `og:preserve-this` comments to as many manual patches and
comments as I could, which will soon be used in conjunction with CI to
hopefully catch any regressions in future big decomp update PRs.
I have some concerns about the `launch-particles` macro (more details in
`sparticle-launcher.gc`) , but thus far, I have not seen anything break
yet.

Fixes empty boxed arrays of strings breaking some decomp
(`ctywide-speech` and `race-info`).
Adds `decomp-as` tag to decompiler types so that the static data
decompiler can use macros like `meters` and `seconds` on fields that
aren't of type `meters` or `time-frame`.
Adds `override` tag to decompiler types which overrides the type of
field with that name. The type must be a child type of the original
field's type (or the same type, but why would you do this?).
Fixes the camera being offset for `drillmtn` after loading `palout`
once.
This is a huge refactor sadly.
This is a major deviation from the original game, which did not have any
way to access the nest after beating Metal Kor as the air train gets
hidden when he is beaten. This was mostly annoying because there are
precursor orbs in that level that you might miss.
This makes it so the air train can once again be used to enter the nest
even after beating Metal Kor. The rest of the level remains mostly the
same, except the Rift Ring does not spawn and an invisible wall is added
to the Metal Kor arena to prevent you from entering it as you are
normally unable to leave it anyway.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
- 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.
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.
