Fixes the menubar not resizing with the Window
Fixes the Editors Menubar item not being repopulated if the editor was closed/reopened
Fixes the Physics menubar item not appearing if the editor was closed/reopened
Fixes issue where findMenu could fail if the StringTableEntry happened to trip against a different capitalization.
Temporarily disabled logic for forward render of probes to avoid data mangle. TODO: fix up forward once deferred math is locked in
Split probe modes out into distinct environmental probe objects
Removed the probes from tracking their own baked cubemap file paths and instead have a pref store it
Removed old probe shaders and materials that aren't used now.
Fixed mLastConst memory leak by removing nono line.
This also fixes some insecure behavior relying on %this value eval'ing, which has also been modified to be better.
Also fixes up some old calls for getting menubar menus by internal name, which is no longer supported, instead using the findMenu function call.
The change was made to the function that is executed when entering the world editor. The boolean variable for first person shooter was set to true, since the camera always defaults to first person on entering the world editor. On setting this boolean variable to be true, the correct camera setting will always be displayed on entering the world editor. This does not affect other camera labels.
Also adds a 'Bake Selection to Mesh' option to the tools menu in the editor to export the selected mesh to a collada file, and then replaces the selection with a TSStatic.
Phase 1: buffers
engine:
provides the following hooks and methods
A) render target "color", and "matinfo". these correspond to texture[0] = "#color"; texture[2] = "#matinfo"; entries in scripts
B) utilizes the independentMrtBitDepth method added GarageGames#857 to set color to an 8RGBA if cards support it
C) adds an RenderPrePassMgr::_initShaders() method to support void RenderPrePassMgr::clearBuffers(). This operates as a pseudo-postfx by rendering a veiwspace plane which fills the screen, then calls a shader which fills both the introduced rendertarget buffers and the prepass buffer to relevant defaults (white with full alpha for prepass, black with full alpha for color and material respectively)
script:
\game\tools\worldEditor\main.cs adds additional hooks similar to GarageGames#863 for colorbuffer, specular map, and backbuffer display
\game\core\scripts\client\lighting\advanced\deferredShading.cs adds the clearbuffer shader, visualizers, and the ShaderData( AL_DeferredShader ) + PostEffect( AL_DeferredShading ) which combine the various buffers into the output which reaches the screen under normal conditions, as well as the extended debug visualizers.
again, note the lines
texture[0] = "#color";
texture[1] = "#lightinfo";
texture[2] = "#matinfo";
target = "$backBuffer";
in particular for the core tie-in.
shader:
\game\shaders\common\lighting\advanced\deferredColorShaderP.hlsl
\game\shaders\common\lighting\advanced\gl\deferredClearGBufferP.glsl
the previously mentioned shaders which clear the buffers to specified colors
\game\shaders\common\lighting\advanced\deferredShadingP.hlsl
\game\shaders\common\lighting\advanced\gl\deferredShadingP.glsl
the tie-in shaders
the rest are visualizers
purpose: to expose methodology that allows one to render color, lighting and material information such as specular and gloss which effect the result of both when combined
long term intent: the previous prepass lighting methodology while serviceable, unfortunately had the side effect of throwing out raw color information required by more modern pipelines and methodologies. This preserves that data while also allowing the manipulation to occur only on a screenspace (or reflected speudo-screenspace) basis.
