During level extraction, the last 4 characters of the level name are
always removed, because it is assumed that '-vis' is there. But it isn't
always there. This is especially true in post-TPL games.
This causes multiple problems:
- There can be levels in the extraction that will miss their last 4
characters from their name, which is sad, and may make it harder to
identify them.
- If there are '-vis'-less levels whose names are identical apart from
the last 4 characters, the extractor will only get the last one (it
probably extracts all but overwrites everything but the last one). For
example 'ctyasha' and 'ctykora'.
This issue affects the glb extraction and the entities json extraction.
I personally think that just keeping the -vis in the name would be the
best solution, but I guess there was a reason why it was decided that it
should be removed from the name. So to adapt to this, my implementation
will still remove '-vis' from the name, but only if it is actually in
the name - otherwise it won't remove anything.
I hope my changes didn't break anything. Extraction seemed to run fine
after my changes, and I was able to see both ctyasha and ctykora json
files. And didn't see any '-vis', so it is still properly removed.

It was narrowed down recently that a lot of people have issues with the
controller input because of Steam Input working as intended. Steam Input
can be configured to replicate controller inputs as keyboard inputs (for
example, pressing X on your controller presses Enter on the keyboard).
This results in the problem of "jumping pauses the game" and similar
issues. This is a consequence of the intended behaviour of the game
listening to all input sources at the same time.
Since the vast majority of players are using controllers over keyboards,
it makes sense to disable the keyboard input by default to solve this
problem. However that makes things awkward for users that want to use
the keyboard (how do they enable the setting). The solution is a new
imgui option in the settings menu:
![Screenshot 2024-01-07

**Known issue that I don't care about** -- in Jak 1's menu code, since
the flags are controlled by pointers to values instead of a lambda like
in jak 2, the menu won't update live with the imgui option. This has no
functional impact and I don't care enough to fix it.
I also made the pc-settings.gc file persist on first load if the file
wasn't found. Hopefully this helps diagnose the support issues related
to the black screen.
# Why not just ignore the keyboard inputs for a period of time?
This won't work, the keyboard is polled every frame. Therefore if you
hold down the X button on your controller, steam is continuously
signaling that `Enter` is held down on the keyboard.
Yes it would be possible to completely disable the keyboard while the
controller is being used, but this defeats the purpose of creating an
input system that allows multiple input sources at the same time.
With an explicit option, not only can the user decide the behaviour they
want (do they want the keyboard ignored or simultaneously listened to)
but we avoid breaking strange edge-cases in usage leading to never
ending complexity:
- ie. imagine steam input sends events to the mouse, well you can't
disable the mouse while using the keyboard because most times people are
using mouse and keyboard
- ie. a user that wants to hold a direction with the keyboard and press
buttons on the controller in tandem (something i frequently do while
TAS'ing, to move in a perfect straight line)
- Wired up the menu settings to change the settings in game, not just on
boot
- Removed all the duplication in the game options menu code
- Fixed the mouse code so that it properly brings the virtual analog
stick back to neutral when the mouse stops
- Extended the sensitivity min/max for those that want to ensure the
slightest movement maxes out virtual analog stick.
While trying to narrow down why sometimes SDL takes 20-40seconds to
initialize I built up some more profiling features.
TLDR - I still don't know why SDL is taking a long time but I've
narrowed it down to it initializing the `GAME_CONTROLLER` subsystem.
This isn't unprecedented, I found numerous github issues and articles
suggesting this is the problem:
![image](https://github.com/open-goal/jak-project/assets/13153231/1853326b-7a40-458e-87a0-f7a9f44781e3)
I imagine it is hardware/OS related on some level, there are even some
recent commits in SDL that have made it worse on certain platforms. I've
had this problem myself so I will hope to get it again soon so i can
debug where in the SDL code the delay occurs and make a proper bug
report. Hopefully this helps but it's not yet confirmed -
https://github.com/open-goal/jak-project/pull/3384
I finally read through all the joint code and wrote up some
documentation. I think this will be really helpful when we try to
understand all the functions in `process-drawable`, or if somebody ever
wants to import/export animations.
This switches all three games to using a new faster GOAL joint
decompressor. It is on by default, but you can go back to the old
version by setting `*use-new-decompressor*` to false.
Also fix the log-related crash, fix the clock speed used in timer math.
This sets up the C Kernel for Jak 3, and makes it possible to build and
load code built with `goalc --jak3`.
There's not too much interesting here, other than they switched to a
system where symbol IDs (unique numbers less than 2^14) are generated at
compile time, and those get included in the object file itself.
This is kind of annoying, since it means all tools that produce a GOAL
object file need to work together to assign unique symbol IDs. And since
the symbol IDs can't conflict, and are only a number between 0 and 2^14,
you can't just hash and hope for no collisions.
We work around this by ignoring the IDs and re-assigning our own. I
think this is very similar to what the C Kernel did on early builds of
Jak 3 which supported loading old format level files, which didn't have
the IDs included.
As far as I can tell, this shouldn't cause any problems. It defeats all
of their fancy tricks to save memory by not storing the symbol string,
but we don't care.
This sets out the bones of a Jak 3 build, many things are stubbed out,
guessed, or copied from Jak 2 but it should at least be good enough to:
run `task set-game-jak3`
launch the repl
run builds from the repl
build outputs themselves are untested but the build itself runs without
errors

This is the more correct way of doing what that code is trying to do.
Fixes#3296
Also fixed some type inconsistencies with related code, probably wasn't
causing issues though.
May also fix the "black screen on startup" issues people keep having,
but that would simply be a nice bonus and isn't the aim of this PR.
The logger used in `goalc` tries to print an already-formatted string
`message` using `fmt::print(message);` Usually this doesn't cause
problems, but if you try to print, for example, an exception that has
special characters (notably `{`) it will try to do another round of
formatting/replacements, despite not having any args to replace with,
which ends up throwing another exception. This is why errors when
parsing custom level JSON cause the REPL to exit.
I've hopefully identified all the various instances of this across the
codebase
Currently only tracks enemy kills, and how they were killed. There is
currently no menu for this, but I've already added most of the text for
it. Also did a bunch of misc decompilation fixes and renamed some
methods.
Fixes#3277Fixes#3278
This was just not implemented end to end. There are still two notable
issues, one that I can live with, one I need to narrow down eventually:
1. Rebinding confirm buttons with trigger (ie. X) behaviour is not 100%
as it should be. I fixed it enough that I can live with it but it's
still not proper. The difficulty is that unlike a button it will
re-trigger the pressed state on the journey back to neutral (aka
unpressed).
2. If you change the bind for the confirm button, then reset your
bindings, the next confirm input is eaten. This is unrelated to these
changes but I briefly looked into it and was unable to find the root
cause.
Adds the opengoal cheats to the secrets menu. Only cheats that are fully
functional and unlockable are there right now, which is eight cheats.
This update will reset most Jak 2 settings.
Also fixes#3274 .
Boards that have no runs yet look kinda awkward but i'd rather just wait
until those fill out (won't take long) rather than add another string to
be translated.
This should avoid the stuttering due to slow unloading on some drivers.
I also turned up the amount of stuff we load per frame since nobody has
been complaining about stutters there, but there has been a few cases of
levels loading in too slowly.
(this only changes graphics, not actual GOAL level load times).
Makes the glow sprite renderer flush when full capacity is reached,
instead of at the end. Also allows us to reduce the textures used for it
(finally). Worst case scenario there's 4-5 flushes per frame.
Fixes incessant flickering in the dig.
Switches the slime look up table to be a texture, since I guess intel
drivers are terrible and putting the array in the shader makes it
extremely slow.
Also, a few minor changes:
- removed art-groups from the test-zone levels since this causes the
compiler to re-decompile the game, and makes the launcher slower. (left
it in commented out)
- Switched `decompile_code` to false by default in jak 2, in case people
run the decompiler and don't want to wait forever
- Fixed build warnings
Some files were in the `banned_objects` list and were thus excluded from
the `all_objs` file.
Also implements the `pexcw` instruction which is only used in `hfrag`
code.
This change adds a few new features:
- Decompiler automatically knows the type of `find-parent-method` use in
jak 1 and jak2 when used in a method or virtual state handler.
- Decompiler inserts a call to `call-parent-method` or
`find-parent-state`
- Removed most casts related to these functions
There are still a few minor issues around this:
- There are still some casts needed when using `post` methods, as `post`
is just a `function`, and needs a cast to `(function none)` or similar.
It didn't seem easy to change the type of `post`, so I'm not going to
worry about it for this PR. It only shows up in like 3 places in jak 2.
(and 0 in jak 1)
- If "call the handler if it's not #f" logic should probably be another
macro.
Fixes#805
Adds controller LED features to Jak 2:
- progressive flickering denoting health
- copies tomb simon says puzzle colors
- unique colors for each gun
- orange color for being indax
- yellow color for being in mech
- purple color for being darkjak
- blue color for being in board
- red flash when wanted.
May add more features later?
Also did some minor clean-up on some types.
- state handlers that are not inlined lambdas have smarter type
checking, getting rid of 99.9% of the casts emitted (they were not
useful)
- art groups were not being properly linked to their "master" groups.
- `max` in `ja` in Jak 2 was not being detected.
Another huge PR...
This PR adds a frame rate option to the graphics menu for some of the
most common refresh rates.
Jak 2 has much better support for variable frame rates than Jak 1 out of
the box, but there are still some edge cases, most prominently the fact
that sprites are still limited to the 300 tick system, which is most
noticeable on glow sprites. For this, I abused the glow boost debug
setting to scale the glow based on the frame rate.
While testing, I noticed two other cases that I have also patched,
there's likely to be many more that are yet to be found, but aside from
that, the game is playable as normal.
https://github.com/open-goal/jak-project/assets/6624576/ad4db24f-cd27-4237-a155-0db7008160f3
- fix speaker names and time frames being uneditable in Jak 1
- added toggle to auto-selected a newly created scene as current
- changed the subtitle summary format slightly.
- current scene's name now appears in the UI
Some general improvements for the texture animator:
- Clouds are special cased, saving about 1 ms per frame
- Adjusting the amount of clouds now actually works.
- Fixed an issue with the brightness of clouds, and the way that they
fade out around the edges.
Fix an issue where the commit sha would not use the right blending mode
if `draw-raw-image` is running at the same time.
Fix an issue where japanese subtitles would accidentally overwrite other
textures, leading to random textures missing. (in particular, glows
would disappear after watching a cutscene with the subtitles on)
- fix deci2 hang when closing the game in retail mode.
- change bigmap to always filter because the pixels look really ugly.
- don't start the game in fullscreen by default if we're debugging.
Rotates the log files with a timestamp instead of copying all files and
incrementing an integer. Increases the amount of info you have when
looking at user's log files (ie. when looking at all the files, the file
creation dates are accurate).
![image](https://github.com/open-goal/jak-project/assets/13153231/61bcdf51-f0f6-4eee-b1e5-140aede5d19e)
Also simplifies the API for setting the log file, and `gk` logs are now
game specific with `jak1` or `jak2`. Which should be useful going
forward.
Lastly, added a flag to all CLIs to disable ansi colors for people that
want to do so. Though at the same time, there is finally a workaround in
jenkins to fix ANSI colors in the truncated log view -- so I'm not sure
why anyone would want to get rid of the color information. You can even
setup text editors to display the color info making log parsing much
easier. Fixes#1917

The way we got/stored background matrices is a bit weird and full of
leftovers from the first attempts at porting renderers. This doesn't
work well with the Jak 2 "other camera" system where some stuff is
rendered with a different camera matrix.
This cleans most of it up. The exception is that the collide mesh
renderer and the additional sprite culling I added still need to peek at
some cached camera matrices.
This fixes the problem where etie uses the wrong matrices for "other
camera" levels. Now the "hole covers" go in the holes in the background
of the throne room.

This changes how `BlitDisplays.cpp` works so it looks at the current
render buffer, rather than the back buffer.
This approach is a bit faster because we avoid copying the back buffer
on every single frame.
It also removes the black frames when the transition starts/stops.
The remaining issues are:
- there's still a single frame of weirdness with the sprite glow
renderer.
- when changing resolutions, it doesn't work super well.
There was a single static path buffer being shared between multiple file
i/o threads. So sometimes you would end up using the wrong path for the
file, and getting size/data for the wrong file.
I think the original reason to have this buffer was just me being lazy
when we changed how project paths works a long time ago. It was a bad
idea in the first place.
Fixes skull gems using a low resolution texture.
Fixes issue where jak in cutscenes is dark after watching oracle-level-1
(and likely other bugs with texture animations getting stuck)

The progress menu loads its icon textures from a .STR file that we were
previously ignoring.
This change:
- updates the decompiler so it can process a .STR file containing a
texture
- adds a feature to force an entire page to always be loaded in the PC
renderer by putting all textures in the GAME.FR3 file.
- regenerates the texture offset map file for jak 2 with these new
textures
For now, I've just put the icon textures in GAME.FR3. The downside is
that these will always stay on the GPU, using up VRAM even when they
aren't needed. But the entire GAME.FR3 file is under 3 MB so I think
it's ok.

- Add security wall animation
- Add waterfall animations
- Add lava animations
- Update layer values from the game to fix the security wall
- Remove leftover debug in `level.gc` that would break level-specific
animations on the second time you visited the level
- Optionally load animated slot textures to the pool so generic can use
them (fixes skull gems in UI)
This fixes the crash reported in
https://github.com/open-goal/jak-project/issues/2833
There was a memory bug here for a long time where our array of `VagCmd`
in `iso_queue.cpp` was too small. This caused GetVagCommand to return
bogus pointers, and sound code would write over other parts of memory.
Added framework to do texture animations entirely in C++. Currently only
works on relatively simple ones, and doesn't handle updating all
parameters - only the speeds.
Connected texture animations to merc and tfrag for skull gems, dark
bomb, and scrolling conveyors.
Cleaned up Tfragment/Tfrag3, which used to be two classes. This was one
of the first C++ renderers, so it had a weird design.
