This makes incremental recompilation faster when changing static
interned strings.

This was SVN commit r25457.
Some drivers (at least the Intel drivers on Windows) are slow at
incrementally updating a VBO with hundreds of calls to glBufferSubData
every frame. Performance is significantly better if you use
glBufferData(NULL) to tell it to discard all the previous contents, and
then re-upload all the data at once.
Update CVertexBuffer so that GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW/GL_STREAM_DRAW buffers are
handled with the new mechanism. This requires the caller to hold onto
the backing store so it can be re-uploaded when necessary, and needs a
bit more signalling to indicate exactly what needs uploading.
I see an improvement from roughly 60 to 75 fps on Intel HD Graphics
3000, Windows, 1024x768, Siwa Oasis.
This was SVN commit r16241.
Previously we had a single culling frustum based on the main camera, and
any object outside the frustum would never get rendered, even if it
should actually contribute to shadows or reflections/refractions. This
caused ugly pop-in effects in the shadows and reflections while
scrolling.
Extend the renderer to support multiple cull groups, each with a
separate frustum and with separate lists of submitted objects, so that
shadows and reflections will render the correctly culled sets of
objects.
Update the shadow map generation to compute the (hopefully) correct
bounds and matrices for this new scheme.
Include terrain patches in the shadow bounds, so hills can cast shadows
correctly.
Remove the code that tried to render objects slightly outside the camera
frustum in order to reduce the pop-in effect, since that was a
workaround for the lack of a proper fix.
Remove the model/patch filtering code, which was used to cull objects
that were in the normal camera frustum but should be excluded from
reflections/refractions, since that's redundant now too.
Inline DistanceToPlane to save a few hundred usecs per frame inside
CCmpUnitRenderer::RenderSubmit.
Fixes#504, #579.
This was SVN commit r15445.
Switch all the constant strings in graphics code to use the new
variables.
This avoids the cost of instantiating CStrInterns at runtime every
frame.
This was SVN commit r13906.
the old debug_assert always ran and tested the expression, which slows
down release builds. wrapping them in #ifndef NDEBUG is clumsy. the new
ASSERT behaves like assert and ENSURE like the old debug_assert. Let's
change any time-critical but not-super-important ENSURE to ASSERT to
speed up release builds. (already done in bits.h and unique_range.h)
This was SVN commit r9362.
Support emitters that are fully running as soon as the game starts.
Fix particle clumping when moving from off-screen to on-screen, by
computing updates more incrementally.
Fix overzealous culling of models with particle emitters.
Add particles to renderer stats.
This was SVN commit r9345.
- use wrapper class instead of std::wstring (reduces mixing of
strings/paths; allows safe+easy join via operator/ and convenient
case-insensitive comparison via operator==, avoids NativePathFromString,
similar to boost::filesystem)
- NativePath -> OsPath
- add hash and To/FromJSVal for Path
- add TS_ASSERT_PATH_EQUALS
- replace _wfopen_s with sys_OpenFile
- remove obsolete SortFiles/Directories
This was SVN commit r9107.
Handle most CStr8/CStrW conversions via UTF-8 instead of effectively
assuming Latin-1.
Return UTF-8 strings from Xeromyces API.
This was SVN commit r8929.
Replace almost all texture uses with calls to the new system.
Add some anistropic filtering to terrain textures.
Let Atlas load terrain texture previews partly-asynchronously by
polling.
Fix inefficient texture colour determination for minimap.
Remove unused global g_TerrainModified.
Change GUI texcoord computation to be less efficient but to cope with
dynamic texture changes.
Fix GUI renderer effects leaving bogus colour state.
This was SVN commit r8099.
Added CEmitter::LoadFromXML method to load particle settings from XML
files.
Made Update code generic and moved from CDefaultEmitter child class up
into CEmitter base class.
Cleaned up code in general and removed unused member variables.
This was SVN commit r6691.
. the massive renaming undertaking: camelCase functions -> PascalCase.
. add some cppdoc.
. minor additional renaming improvements: e.g. GetIsClosed -> IsClosed
. in entity code, replace constructs like "pvec = new vector; return
pvec; use *pvec; delete pvec" with a simple stack variable passed as
output parameter (avoid unnecessary dynamic allocs)
. timer: simpler handling of raw ticks vs normal timer (less #if)
This was SVN commit r5017.
Removed some apparently unnecessary #includes
Merged multiple M_PI definitions into maths/MathUtil.h
Add newline at end of file
This was SVN commit r3384.
