now shaders ask the device to create a buffer, if a buffer of the same name and size already exist then a pointer to that buffer is returned instead. Going to see if something similar can be added to the opengl end.
The fix adds a sanity check to the D3D and GL device enumeration function that exits early if there's no registered display from the OS(implying it's running in commandline).
With newer versions of SDL, attempting to enumerate the GL device causes a segfault because the OS will return back a valid context, but the context isn't actually valid. So when tested against, it crashes. Avoiding enumerating the device when you're not in a position to render works around the issue.
TODO: If the machine is running in terminal-only mode, and thus has no valid render context, but still has a monitor plugged into the machine, it can sidestep the sanity check and still result in a segfault. Need a more robust check for that circumstance in a future fix.
Swapped the water's disableTrueReflections variable to be enableTrueReflections for simplicity and consistency(also fixed a persistent typo)
Swapped disableVerticalSync to be enableVerticalSync for simplicity and consistency
Swapped disableParallaxMapping to be enableParallaxMapping for simplicity and consistency
Fix click detection on slider mode entries for guiGameSettingsCtrl so the click position correctly matches the percentage
Fixed problem where postFX initialization would always exec default.postfxpreset.tscript, even if a level's got it's own preset, which can cause problems
Fixed range field type behavior so that editing the values applies in real time, and also consistently applies between slider and text field
Added sanity check for findMatch
Finished most of asset importer logic to utilize settings system
Cleaned up code for finding associated files
Added General importer settings category and integrated logic for those settings fields
Updated logic in variableGroup to support callbacks in custom fields
Updated logic in variableInspector to better handle callbacks, as well as being able to manually update when manipulating fields
Updated scripts to utilize project settings values for playGUI and mainMenuGUI names
Improved module-oriented loading of materials
Added util function for populating custom fonts
This makes some tweaks to the engine to support this, specifically, it tweaks the hardcoded shaderpaths to defer to a pref variable, so none of the shader paths are hardcoded.
Also tweaks how post effects read in texture files, removing a bizzare filepath interpretation choice, where if the file path didn't start with "/" it forcefully appended the script's file path. This made it impossible to have images not in the same dir as the script file defining the post effect.
This was changed and the existing template's post effects tweaked for now to just add "./" to those few paths impacted, as well as the perf vars to support the non-hardcoded shader paths in the engine.
- Supports GL, D3D9 & D3D11
- Extends vertex formats & shadergen to support blend indices and weights
- Adds basic support for using 4x3 matrices for shader constants
- Supports software fallback
