TapirEngine is the 3D rendering engine used in RanceQuest.
This implements the minimum functionality that is needed to render the
first battle scene. The lighting is still incorrect.
So far only basic debugging functionality is implemented (breakpoints,
stepping, stack traces/variables).
This is not tested against an established DAP client. My intention is to
create a custom GUI frontend and extend the protocol to support
xsystem4-specific features, such as inspecting the scene. (This work is
underway.)
Instruction references are hex-encoded address strings. Clients do not
need to obtain them from DAP requests. This is outside the spec, but it
is needed for a binary-only debugger.
Functions that write directly to stdout (e.g. printf) should generally
not be used any more. Instead, use either sys_message (which respects
sys_silent) or log_message (which will send the message to the debugger
if DAP is enabled). stderr can be used as normal.
Now parsed particle-effect definitions are cached in a hash map in the
plugin object. To make it possible, static part of `struct
particle_effect` and `struct particle_object` are factored out to
`struct pae` and `struct pae_object` respectively.
Before this, the order of drawing was determined on an instance-by-
instance basis. Instances with even a single transparent material were
drawn after fully opaque instances.
After this, first the opaque meshes in all instances are drawn, and then
the transparent meshes are drawn from the nearest to the farthest.
This implements a parser for particle effect definition files (.pae)
and a set of field accessor functions for the RE_ITYPE_PARTICLE_EFFECT
instance type. Rendering of effects is not yet implemented.
There are two types of fog, linear fog and atmospheric scattering. The
formula for light scattering is incorrect (see the comment in
reign.v.glsl) and therefore not physically correct.
This implements a Phong shading with ambient, diffuse and specular
components, using up to three directional lights and one specular light.
The light calculation is made to match the "high quality" 3D mode of
Toushin Toshi 3.
