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)
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.
I havn't tested it yet, but I can almost guarantee that atleast `goalc`
will not work in the slightest!
But the project is atleast fully compiling. My hope is to start
translating some AVX to NEON next / get `goalc` working...eventually.
The main thing that was done here was to slightly modify the new
subtitle-v2 JSON schema to be more similar to the existing one so that
it can properly be used in Crowdin.
Draft while I double-check the diff myself
Along the way the following was also done (among other things):
- got rid of as much duplication as was feasible in the serialization
and editor code
- separated the text serialization code from the subtitle code for
better organization
- simplified "base language" in the editor. The new subtitle format has
built-in support for defining a base language so the editor doesn't have
to be used as a crutch. Also, cutscenes only defined in the base come
first in the list now as that is generally the order you'd work from
(what you havn't done first)
- got rid of the GOAL subtitle format code completely
- switched jak 2 text translations to the JSON format as well
- found a few mistakes in the jak 1 subtitle metadata files
- added a couple minor features to the editor
- consolidate and removed complexity, ie. recently all jak 1 hints were
forced to the `named` type, so I got rid of the two types as there isn't
a need anymore.
- removed subtitle editor groups for jak 1, the only reason they existed
was so when the GOAL file was manually written out they were somewhat
organized, the editor has a decent filter control, there's no need for
them.
- removed the GOAL -> JSON python script helper, it's been a month or so
and no one has come forward with existing translations that they need
help with migrating. If they do need it, the script will be in the git
history.
I did some reasonably through testing in Jak1/Jak 2 and everything
seemed to work. But more testing is always a good idea.

## Problem
OpenGOAL uses OpenGL 4.3.
Apple stopped upgrading OpenGL after 4.1, so the way OpenGOAL currently
works will never be playable on Macs using OpenGL.
## Solution
Luckily, downgrading to OpenGL 4.1 is not a huge change (at least it
doesn't seem like it to my untrained eyes).
## Changes
* set hints for OpenGL 4.1 instead of 4.3 for __APPLE__
* skip the OpenGL debugging callback setup for macOS (requires 4.3)
* bump down the version string for all shaders
* stop using the `binding` layout qualifier in shader code
* move the `flat` qualifier first (not sure if this is a 4.1 thing or
just Macs being more strict)
* don't mix signed and unsigned ints in shaders (not sure if this is a
4.1 thing or just Macs being more strict)
* add some hacky CPP to the Shader constructor for binding texture units
and bones buffers based on variable names in the shader code
## Results
The current event-based approach is very difficult to get right, and it
depends on no events ever being missed. This changes the keyboard/mouse
handling code to a polling-based approach.
Other fixes:
- an issue where modifier keys were not able to be successfully bound
(like Left Shift to `X`)
- improves cursor hiding (except when you use the start menu, this seems
like an SDL issue, see comment)
- Better discarding of kb/mouse inputs when imgui intercepts input
- properly swap bindings when an already set key is assigned, even if it
crosses the distinction of an analog vs normal button
Fixes#2800
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?

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.
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.
- [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.
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.
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.
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.
- 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.
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.
Fixes the aspect ratio of the font renderer (Jak 2 does not need the
same hacks as Jak 1), the custom letterbox/pillarbox sizes and fixes the
heap display.

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.
Add a debug window for the loader to show levels and fix an issue with
jak 2 level unloading. I never really thought about how this works for >
2 levels, and there is a chance that you could unload the wrong level in
some cases.
The problem is some combination of merc-only levels not counting toward
the "in use" detection, and the unloader ignoring what the game wants to
load.
I don't remember why using merc models doesn't contribute to "in use"
but I'm afraid to change this for jak 1. Instead, we can have the
unloader avoid unloading levels that the game is telling us are loaded.
This is what we should have done originally, but there was a time when
Jak 1 didn't tell the loader anything, and we had this stupid detection
thing.
I think this is the first step toward just getting rid of the "in use"
detection and trusting the game for everything.
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).
I did a pass through all missions, fixing issues as they came up. Also
got `seal-at-waterslums` working -- the best mission in the game 🥳

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.
