Takes the makeFullPath in findTSShapeConstructor and turn it into a string before passing it along to the Filename to make stricter compilers happy
Removed some referenced to fields that don't exist in the current build
Removed unneeded ASM language activation for the cmake files
Adjustments to material map assembling macros to better comply to stricter compilers
Fixed loose file bindings for all associated slots in level asset, such as postFX file, decals, etc
Expanded TSStatic onInspect testcase to parse materialSlots and hook-in a specialized material field for editing/quick reference from the inspector
Adjusted expand behavior of guiTree to be more reliable
Added internal name 'stack' to inspectorGroup's stack child objects for easier access to add programatic fields
Removed redundant PreMult translucency type code
Added setting of feature so probes work when in forward/basic lit mode
Corrected indexing error in SQLiteObject class so it properly parses with the updated console API
Tweaked the FOV setting logic in GameConnection::onControlObjectChange to not be spammy
Fixed var when trying to bind the camera to the client
Added project setting field to dictate the default render mode between Forward or Deferred
Integrated MotionBlur PostFX into updated PostFX Editor paradigm and exposed the samples uniform as an editable field
Integrated DOF PostFX into updated PostFX Editor paradigm
Updated setting group name for vignette postFX
Shifted shaderCache to be in data/cache along with other cached files
Added helper function to replace strings in a file
Fixed ExampleCppObject asset to have correct loose file references
Adjusted editor default level logic so it can be modifed and then stored, as well as reset back to the original default
Fixed verve reference to root scene group
Adjusted location of a nonmodal gui profile so it loads at the correct time
Reorganized AssetBrowser loading and refresh logic so it doesn't stack multiple refresh requests back-to-back causing lag
Updated the search behavior to search not just the current address, but all child folders as well, making it far more useful
Initial work into zip and folder drag-and-drop asset importing support
Removed the import config setting for 'always display material maps' as it is redundant with the new importer context menu actions
Updated example asset type file
Ensured all asset types have proper handling for move, rename and delete actions
Fixed double-click behavior on folders in the AB
Fixed CPP asset preview
Added better logic to discern if a top-level folder belongs to a module or not in the AB directory browser
Added ability to convert a non-module top-level folder in the AB into a module
Added initial hooks for being able to generate a new Editor Tool, similar to how the AB can generate modules
Renamed CPP asset template files to have the .template so they aren't accidentally picked up by cmake
Fixed convex editor's material handling to work with AB and reference back properly
Updated AB images for folder up/down navigation buttons, and the breadcrumb divider arrow
Made PostFX Editor properly allow for input pass-through so you can still edit the level with it open
Added some additional common text gui profiles
Disabled calls to old editor settings logic in various editors to remove spam
Added callOnModules call so tools can initialize properly when the world editor is opened
Fixed logic test for visualizers
Added ability for cmake to scan tools directory for any tools that add source files
left:
addField( "specularMap", TypeImageFilename, Offset(mPBRConfigMapFilename, Material), MAX_STAGES,
scripthook till last since that *will* break all current materials.
renderPrePassMgr.cpp related:
A) shifting .addFeature( MFT_XYZ); calls from ProcessedShaderMaterial::_determineFeatures to ProcessedPrePassMaterial::_determineFeatures
B) mimicking the "// set the XXX if different" entries from RenderMeshMgr::render in RenderPrePassMgr::render
C) fleshing out ProcessedPrePassMaterial::getNumStages() so that it shares a 1:1 correlation with ProcessedShaderMaterial::getNumStages()
D) causing inline void Swizzle<T, mapLength>::ToBuffer( void *destination, const void *source, const dsize_t size ) to silently fail rather than fatally assert if a source or destination buffer is not yet ready to be filled. (support for #customTarget scripted render targets)
Reflections:
A) removing reflectRenderState.disableAdvancedLightingBins(true); entries. this would otherwise early out from prepass and provide no color data whatsoever.
B) removing the fd.features.addFeature( MFT_ForwardShading ); entry forcing all materials to be forward lit when reflected.
C) 2 things best described bluntly as working hacks:
C1) when reflected, a scattersky is rotated PI along it's z then x axis in order to draw properly.
C2) along similar lines, in terraincellmaterial, we shut off culling if it's a prepass material.
Skies: scattersky is given a pair of rotations for reflection purposes, all sky objects are given a z value for depth testing.
SPECIAL NOTE: highly suggest https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/pull/1441 or a variation thereof to prevent debug spew and false-postives for occlusion results.
With significant research, development and prototyping assistance from both @andr3wmac (shaders and partial hook work), and @LuisAntonRebollo (additional culling)
System operates as follows:
1) materials are given an additional castDynamicShadows boolean entry. (Default at time of writing is true by request. Personal usage at time of writing defaults to false. value is default-initialized in materialDefinition.cpp. script/gui exposed)
2) lights are given a staticRefreshFreq and dynamicRefreshFreq (in milliseconds). script/gui exposed
3) materials are (effectively) sorted into dynamic and static shadowmap render lists based on flag. (see shadowMapPass.cpp)
4) initial shadowmaps are generated for each light and 'list'.
5) as each refreshFreq times out, the relevant shadowmap for a given light is refreshed.
Special notes:
dynamicRefreshFreq for all lights is set to a (script exposed) 8MS refresh timer.
StaticRefreshFreq for the lions share of lights defaults to 250 MS (1/4 of a second)
scattersky's embedded light, which is intended to operate in a mobile manner, defaults to 8
to reiterate, these are all customizable per-light via script/inspector gui in the case of alternate project needs.
