This allows for configuring the size of computers and pocket computers,
as well as the max size of monitors.
There's several limitations with the current implementation, but it's
still "good enough" for an initial release:
- Turtles cannot be resized.
- GUIs do not scale themselves, so "large" sizes will not render within
the default resolution.
Well, mostly. We currently don't do recipe serializers as I'm a little
too lazy. For items, blocks and TE types this does make registration
nicer - we've some helper functions which help reduce duplication.
Some types (containers, TEs, etc..) are a little less nice, as we now
must define the registry object (i.e. the WhateverType<?>) in a separate
class to the class it constructs. However, it's probably a worthwhile
price to pay.
When calling .flip(), we limit the size of the buffer. However, this
limit is not reset when writing the next time, which means we get
out-of-bounds errors, even if the buffer is /technically/ big enough.
Clearing the buffer before drawing (rather than just resetting the
position) is enough to fix this.
Fixes#476 (and closes#477, which is a duplicate)
- Use texture over texture2D - the latter was deprecated in GLSL 1.30.
- Cache the tbo buffer - this saves an allocation when monitors update.
Closes#455. While the rest of the PR has some nice changes, it
performs signlificantly worse on my system.
This uses the system described in #409, to render monitors in a more
efficient manner.
Each monitor is backed by a texture buffer object (TBO) which contains
a relatively compact encoding of the terminal state. This is then
rendered using a shader, which consumes the TBO and uses it to index
into main font texture.
As we're transmitting significantly less data to the GPU (only 3 bytes
per character), this effectively reduces any update lag to 0. FPS appears
to be up by a small fraction (10-15fps on my machine, to ~110), possibly
as we're now only drawing a single quad (though doing much more work in
the shader).
On my laptop, with its Intel integrated graphics card, I'm able to draw
120 full-sized monitors (with an effective resolution of 3972 x 2330) at
a consistent 60fps. Updates still cause a slight spike, but we always
remain above 30fps - a significant improvement over VBOs, where updates
would go off the chart.
Many thanks to @Lignum and @Lemmmy for devising this scheme, and helping
test and review it! ♥
Unknown blit colours, such as " " will be translated to black for the
background or white for the foreground. This restores the behaviour from
before #412.
This is a backport of 1.15's terminal rendering code with some further
improvements. This duplicates a fair bit of code, and is much more
efficient.
I expect the work done in #409 will supersede this, but that's unlikely
to make its way into the next release so it's worth getting this in for
now.
- Refactor a lot of common terminal code into
`FixedWithFontRenderer`. This shouldn't change any behaviour, but
makes a lot of our terminal renderers (printed pages, terminals,
monitors) a lot cleaner.
- Terminal rendering is done using a single mode/vertex format. Rather
than drawing an untextured quad for the background colours, we use an
entirely white piece of the terminal font. This allows us to batch
draws together more elegantly.
- Some minor optimisations:
- Skip rendering `"\0"` and `" "` characters. These characters occur
pretty often, especially on blank monitors and, as the font is empty
here, it is safe to skip them.
- Batch together adjacent background cells of the same colour. Again,
most terminals will have large runs of the same colour, so this is a
worthwhile optimisation.
These optimisations do mean that terminal performance is no longer
consistent as "noisy" terminals will have worse performance. This is
annoying, but still worthwhile.
- Switch monitor rendering over to use VBOs.
We also add a config option to switch between rendering backends. By
default we'll choose the best one compatible with your GPU, but there
is a config option to switch between VBOS (reasonable performance) and
display lists (bad).
When benchmarking 30 full-sized monitors rendering a static image, this
improves my FPS[^1] from 7 to 95. This is obviously an extreme case -
monitor updates are still slow, and so more frequently updating screens
will still be less than stellar.
[^1]: My graphics card is an Intel HD Graphics 520. Obviously numbers
will vary.
Most of the port is pretty simple. The main problems are regarding
changes to Minecraft's rendering system.
- Remove several rendering tweaks until Forge's compatibility it
brought up-to-date
- Map rendering for pocket computers and printouts
- Item frame rendering for printouts
- Custom block outlines for monitors and cables/wired modems
- Custom breaking progress for cables/wired modems
- Turtle "Dinnerbone" rendering is currently broken, as normals are not
correctly transformed.
- Rewrite FixedWidthFontRenderer to to the buffer in a single sweep.
In order to do this, the term_font now also bundles a "background"
section, which is just a blank region of the screen.
- Render monitors using a VBO instead of a call list. I haven't
compared performance yet, but it manages to render a 6x5 array of
_static_ monitors at almost 60fps, which seems pretty reasonable.
Not quite sure when this changed, but I'm fairly sure isMouseOver wasn't
a thing when I wrote this. Or I'm a plonker. Both are possible.
Also fixes mouse dragging not being handled in turtles.
Fixes#299
- Add Forge's "name" field to the loot tables. This doesn't resolve all
our missing loot providers, but it's a start.
- Add back GUIs for pocket computers, printouts, view computer, etc...
So very little works, but it compiles and runs.
Things to resolve over the next few days:
- Horrible mappings (should largely be resolved by tomorrow).
- Cannot send extra data over containers - we'll have to see what Forge
does here.
- Turtle models are broken
- No block drops yet - this will largely be cherry-picking whatever I
did on Fabric.
- Weird inventory desyncs (items don't show up initially when
interacting with a CC inventory).
- Probably lots of other things.
- Adds a CheckStyle configuration which is pretty similar to CC's
existing one.
- Add the Gradle license plugin.
- Ensure the existing source code is compatible with these additional
checks.
