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.
Add textured line overlay rendering.
Change terrain height calculations to be triangulation-dependent for
improved accuracy.
Add triangulation-dependent terrain normal function.
Support separate S/T wrap modes for textures.
Rename CVector2D_Maths since it no longer conflicts with simulation
CVector2D.
Coalesce freed chunks in vertex buffers, to avoid excessive
fragmentation.
Add some things to help debug vertex buffer allocation a little.
This was SVN commit r9929.
Use index VBOs in model renderers, for performance.
Be more explicit about static/dynamic VBOs.
Add VBO usage to renderer stats.
Clean up some obsolete unused code.
This was SVN commit r9052.
Rewrite font builder tool to be much simpler and to support more text
effects.
Change GUI to use new set of fonts.
Switch font textures from TGA to PNG so they're easier for the font
builder to create.
Support RGBA font textures (for e.g. stroked text).
Greatly improve text rendering performance by using vertex arrays.
Fix rendering code leaving vertex buffers bound.
Add 'clip' property to GUI text objects, to disable clipping when
rendering.
Delete part of unused console function registration system.
This was SVN commit r7595.
. timer, config: fix definition of ALLOW_RDTSC
. add movsx_be64 (for whirlpool), revise implementation, move to
byte_order, add test
. MAX -> std::max, remove those macros
. add timestamp to system_info as requested by philip
This was SVN commit r5050.
* Fixed some bugs with incorrect macro usage (SDL_BYTE_ORDER vs
SDL_BYTEORDER, {MSC,GCC}_VER vs {MSC,GCC}_VERSION, OS_WIN/OS_UNIX in
projects where they're not defined).
* Removed some redundant declarations of g_Console.
* Removed some unnecessary semicolons.
* Removed some unused variables.
* Added throw specification to operator new.
This was SVN commit r4698.
- wposix.cpp: initial support for MEM_RESERVE and MEM_COMMIT semantics
in mmap
- cstr: removed no longer necessary serialization header
- xmlutils: wrap new() calls in nommgr/mmgr; allows tracking other
allocs in this file.
- add u64_from_u32
- various minor comments/improvements.
This was SVN commit r2604.
