This PR adds a define BVH_EXPAND_LEAF_AABBS which is set, which stores expanded AABBs in the tree instead of exact AABBs.
This makes the logic less error prone when considering reciprocal collisions in the pairing, as all collision detect is now taking place between expanded AABB against expanded AABB, rather than expanded AABB against exact AABB.
The flip side of this is that the intersection tests will now be less exact when expanded margins are set.
All margins are now user customizable via project settings, and take account of collision pairing density to adjust the margin dynamically.
Applying overlay materials into multi-surface meshes currently
requires adding a next pass material to all the surfaces, which
might be cumbersome when the material is to be applied to a range
of different geometries. This also makes it not trivial to use
AnimationPlayer to control the material in case of visual effects.
The material_override property is not an option as it works
replacing the active material for the surfaces, not adding a new pass.
This commit adds the material_overlay property to GeometryInstance
(and therefore MeshInstance), having the same reach as
material_override (that is, all surfaces) but adding a new material
pass on top of the active materials, instead of replacing them.
Implemented in rasterizer of both GLES2 and GLES3.
Previously a crude metric was used to decide on the roaming expansion margin, but it created unexpected results in some scenarios. Instead this setting is exposed to the user via the RoomManager, allowing them to tailor it to the world size, room sizes, roaming objects sizes and the speeds of movement.
Async. compilation via ubershader is currently available in the scene and particles shaders only.
Bonus:
- Use `#if defined()` syntax for not true conditionals, so they don't unnecessarily take a bit in the version flagset.
- Remove unused `ENABLE_CLIP_ALPHA` from scene shader.
- Remove unused `PARTICLES_COPY` from the particles shader.
- Remove unused uniform related code.
- Shader language/compiler: use ordered hash maps for deterministic code generation (needed for caching).
Sets `AlignOperands` to `DontAlign`.
`clang-format` developers seem to mostly care about space-based indentation and
every other version of clang-format breaks the bad mismatch of tabs and spaces
that it seems to use for operand alignment. So it's better without, so that it
respects our two-tabs `ContinuationIndentWidth`.
Change the existing DEV_ASSERT function to be switched on and off by the DEV_ENABLED define. DEV_ASSERT breaks into the debugger as soon as hit.
Add error macros DEV_CHECK and DEV_CHECK_ONCE to add an alternative check that ERR_PRINT when a condition fails, again only enabled in DEV_ENABLED builds.
Sphere occluders are now tested for self occlusion. Spheres that are behind another sphere in the current view are superfluous so can be removed, cutting down on the runtime calculations.
AABBs are now maintained for Occluders as well as individual spheres, meaning a bunch of occluder spheres can be frustum rejected as a block.
Add framework for supporting geometrical occluders within rooms, and add support for sphere occluders.
Includes gizmos for editing.
They also work outside the portal system.
Small bug in the logic, the roaming objects only should be set to done when they have been marked as visible, rather than the first time they are examined. This is because they can be seen in a room through multiple portals, and each needs to be tested until there is either a visible result or all the portals in are visited.
This backports the high quality glow mode from the `master` branch.
Previously, during downsample, every second row was ignored.
Now, when high-quality is used, we sample two rows at once to ensure
that no pixel is missed. It is slower, but looks much better and has
a much high stability while moving.
High quality also takes an additional horizontal sample the width of the
horizontal blur matches the height of the vertical blur.
Fixed a bug in the complex PVS generation which was causing recursive loop.
Move some of the settings out of RoomManager into Project Settings.
Allow PVS generation method to be selected from Project Settings, and control PVS logging.
Fixes a bug whereby it read from the primary PVS in the gameplay monitor, using the size from the secondary PVS. This would read out of bounds and crash.
Removed debug code to update the gameplay monitor from the preview camera - this is no longer required.
Temporarily revert to the simple PVS generation method, because I've noticed a bug in the complex version, and the simple version is safer while I fix this.
The existing tracing routine for building the PVS was rather simple compared to the main portal tracing, and could not correctly cope with paths that went through multiple portals from room A to B, and as a result would sometimes miss room entries in the PVS resulting in too many culled rooms in these circumstances.
This PR adds an improved function that can cope with entering a room multiple times during a trace. As a result it has to take care of portal directions (to prevent going back on itself) in a similar, but not identical way to the main portal tracing routine, and internal rooms, to prevent recursive loops.
In some situations looking out from an internal room it was possible to look back into the portal into the internal room.
This PR fixes this by keeping a single item 'stack' record of the last external room, and preventing recursing into this room. This also makes tracing significantly more efficient out of internal rooms, as there is no need to trace the external room multiple times.
This PR makes the 'convert rooms' button permanently on the toolbar and accessible whichever node is selected, so you can convert rooms without having to select the RoomManager first.
It also adds a togglable item 'view portal culling' to the 'View' menu which is a simple way of setting the RoomManager 'active' setting without the RoomManager being the selected node.
Both of these have keyboard shortcuts, which should make it much faster to reconvert rooms and edit.
In addition there the string in the 'Perspective' Listbox is modified to show [portals active] when portal culling is operational, for visual feedback. This is updated when you change modes, and when the rooms are invalidated.
When using the preview camera feature it turns out as well as culling the game objects, this also culls the editor gizmos from the preview camera, which makes the editor hard to use in this mode.
To get around this problem we simply disable frustum culling for GLOBAL portal_mode objects when in preview camera mode. This could be a bit slower in an editor scene with lots of gizmos but is the simplest way of solving the problem.
Portal margins were not being correctly sent to the PortalRenderer from the SceneTree, so all margins were being used as default (1.0). This PR fixes this.
It turned out the new autolinking feature was linking portals AFTER the static meshes had been added to rooms in the PortalRenderer. This meant that large meshes weren't being sprawled across these portals. The fix involves doing the autolinking BEFORE adding the static meshes.
Fixes a bug in the warning for portals being in the wrong direction, they should have only been checkout for outgoing portals. This was resulting in erroneous warnings.
Also the room conversion logs are refined to be more compact and informative.
A warning icon is also added in the gizmo for portals where autolink fails.
