Sokol Renderer Issue Tracker

[dashodanger]

1. • Invulnerability powerup makes the screen render only sky or pure white, noticed with D4EC, doesn't seem to reproduce on vanilla
2. • 3D weapon models clip into the walls if player too close
3. • Screen melt/wipe non-existent. Maps start/end very suddenly.
4. • Smoothing ON seems to give sprites an unusually thick black outline
5. • Screenshots are broken, including the savegame ones.
6. • The new camera MOBJ view is a bit messed up
7. • Scissor for full-screen palette effects (red pain wash, etc) seems to shift downwards when the player dies
8. • Additive lights on texture unit 1 don't render properly when no texture in unit 0
9. • Culling fog needs to be hooked up
10. • MDL models currently don't render
11. • Screen melt/wipe has minor issues with some stuttering, observed on D3D11
12. • Check the accessibility flash reduction is rendering on screen edges
13. • Need to support clear colors, specifically for fog culling
14. • MD3 Rendering
15. • 2D rendering versions for MD2
16. • Resurrect flood filling
17. • Some strange clipping with D4EC blood effects, can be hard to reproduce, erraticism helps
18. • Simple skies are currently only supported option Will be filed separately
19. • Crashes when idclip out of level and nothing renders
20. • Glow and blood decal issues in Glows, Models, 3D Floors.wad
21. • epic2.wad with mod4epic2023.wad, map04 forward and first door on right, run into a baron can't see and weird zbuffer it seems. Likely transparency issue
22. • DBP69_cstind.wad MAP01, early in map invisible shootable fan after duct, probably needs no cull support. Also missing with 1.38, file independently
23. • Check CPU usage on BSP Traversal thread start signal wait
24. • Optimize solid model rendering to be in parallel with the bsp traversl thread (based on skin)
25. • Mac Metal Renderer build - Sticking with GLCore 3.3 on Mac for now
26. • Update web player to use sokol renderer
27. • D3D11 vsync support

MD2 models are missing faces as of today: Culling issue?

[pbdot]

@LoboEire Should be fixed

[LoboEire]

@pbdot Confirmed. Good job chief!

Alpha transparency is not there yet, but it is also iffy in the current non-sokol repo too:

Current sokolDX:

EC 1.38;

@LoboEire Oh, I had a note above about that, though couldn't get the blood to spawn, will have another look. It helps to have reproduction steps, like wads to use, level name, etc.

Sorry, it's one of my own unfinished and unreleased stuff so wasn't able to link to it.

I've whipped up an example wad with some md2 decals for both floor and ceiling. You'll see straight off the bat what's wrong with them, though I've discovered while doing this that it's not exactly a png alpha issue like I thought, as you can see the sky through it sometimes.
Also, wierd one, when you go into the dark room, watch the decal high up on the right: as the door closes it goes from glitchy (sky bleeding through) to correct.
Here's the demo wad:

Aha, that is helpful, thanks, didn't realize these were models, very clever :) I want to add a proper decal system, which will support lots and lots of decals efficiently. I have the md2 alpha working, though it means deferring all model rendering to the non-solid pass, which I am hoping to avoid as this happens sequentially, after the threaded BSP traversal... so keeps model rendering from gaining those benefits. I'll see what can do...

[pbdot]

This should work now, could still be bugs, juggling a fair amount of state.

[LoboEire]

Latest PR fixed a lot of issues: good work!
