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.
Unsure what hacks or type casts might eventually be needed for the PAL
version, but these changes are enough to get things to extract and run
the game (though the extract phase requires iso_data to be in a jak2_pal
folder, but the build still looks for jak2 in iso_data and
decompiler_out).
- 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.
Actors that use types from a level that got unloaded should now get
killed immediately instead of continuing to exist and eventually crash
the game.
NOTE: Will spam the console whenever a bad actor tries to spawn. I would
like to document all instances of where this happens!
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.
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)
Reasons for doing so include:
1. This should stop the confusion around editing the wrong config file's
flags -- when for example, extracting a level. Common settings can be in
one central place, with bespoke overrides being provided for each
version
2. Less verbose way of supporting multiple game versions. You don't have
to duplicate the entire `type_casts` file for example, just add or
override the json objects required.
3. Makes the folder structure consistent, Jak 1's `all-types` is now in
a `jak1` folder, etc.
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.
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.
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).
