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.
Many places utilize post-incrementation with iterators, but it's better performance to use pre-incrementation.
Resolved by changing the iter++ instances to ++iter;
Many instances of a function or expression being used repeatedly, which can lower performance.
Fixed it in these cases by creating on local var, reference or pointer that's used instead.
OR spits out quite a few pointless mips for non square textures, which can lead to it triggering that AssertFatal(mNumMipLevels <= c_maxMipLevels, "GBitmap::allocateBitmap: too many miplevels"); entry
Removing the "using namespace Torque" from header file to prevent issues
with certain engine addons conflicting with ::UUID defined by windows
and Torque::UUID defined by T3D.
- Be sure to delete all prefs.cs files following this change.
- Changes the console types of the missing, unavailable and warning
texture paths. The old type was causing string corruption when saving
preferences.
- Changes the console type of the TSShapeConstructor collision shapes.
The old type was causing string corruption when saving preferences.
- Changed missing texture reference in ProcessedMaterial from String to
const char*.
- displaySplashWindow() now takes an optional path to a bitmap file.
- Missing, unavailable and warning texture paths now come from
GFXTextureManager static methods.
