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.
engine: implements the capacity for tsstatic objects to allow themselves to use the reflector system in order to display runtime generated cubemaps.
script: defines a calibrated reflectordesc that reflects all object types within the space of approximately half stock veiwdistance
usage: cubeReflectorDesc = DefaultCubeDesc placed in a given object-insatnces entry that uses a material with a dynamiccubemap = true; flag.
immediate purpose: consistency of application of materials.
long term impact: tags steps required in order to associate a given runtime generated cubemap with an object-instance. in the future, this is likely to give way to an area-derived cubemap based on the accumulation volume tech developed by Andrew Mac, or a screenspace reflection.
Player can now swim properly, and the physical zone elevator is a bit
more helpful (i.e. it sends you to the landing rather than leaving you
floating in midair). Fiddled some more with PostFX settings.
This removes a duplicate and erroneous attempt to load the customProfiles.cs script. Also added additional commentary to note that this file is the default save location when using the Gui Editor to create GuiProfiles.
Also fixes a problem where the Empty Template was not loading customProfiles.cs
This prevents the "cannot find material X" messages in the console. These psuedo materials are what enables footstep sounds and footpuffs on terrain materials.
