The general rule I'm aiming for is to <> include
system wide / installed paths / generally everything
that's outside the git managed source tree (this means
mruby paths too!), and "" include everything else,
ie. local mkxp headers.
The only current exception are the mri headers, which
all have './' at their front as to not clash with
system wide ruby headers. I'm leaving them be for now
until I can come up with a better general solution.
With this we now link to libvorbis/ogg directly.
When this is enabled, one can theoretically also
build SDL_sound without ogg support, although I
doubt it makes much of a difference.
Adittionally, count frames instead of samples
for playback offset calculation.
We will not be using librubberband for in place
pitch shifting. RMXP "shifts" PCM based audio
by just playing it back slower/faster, which
OpenAL takes care of for us. A native midi backend
will be able to effortlessly pitch shift by
multiplying note pitches, should we ever get one.
I have been chasing this ghost for way too long.
Making this an option makes no sense. It ought to
be the default behavior, as RMXP pitch shifts PCM
based audio files the exact same way.
This reverts commit ac35d4214e.
This is a major change in the Audio module that comes with
many changes throughout the codebase and dependency list.
The main gist is that we're finally nuking the last pieces
of SFML from the project. sfml-audio brought with itself
unneeded and big dependencies (libsndfile, libvorbisenc)
while at the same time limiting the amount of audio formats
mkxp can support (eg. we now get mp3 for free, and wma/midi
can be implemented by extending SDL_sound directly).
The increased control gained by interfacing with OpenAL directly
will also allow for easy integration of a dedicated audio
stretcher (librubberband), as well as enable us to implement
looped ogg vorbis (via the 'LOOPSTART'/'LOOPLENGTH' tags),
as required by RGSS2, in the future.
The FileSystem class has had its SFML parts removed.
Aditionally, audio file extensions to be supplemented are
now automatically detected based on how SDL_sound was
built (ie. if no mp3 support was built, mkxp won't try
to look for *.mp3 files). The final used extension
can be optionally returned by 'openRead' calls so
SDL_sound and SDL2_image can immediately choose the
right decoder.
The OpenAL context is created and destroyed in main.cpp
along side the GL context.
Finally got around to nuking that ugly pile of shit that was
previously there for PhysFS file enumeration because filepath
cache generation with unencrypted game files + archive + RTP
has started taking around 6 seconds. Thank $DEITY.
We now actively track how far behind / in front of an
ideal timestep we are during each frame, and try to
catch up / delay approximate this timing.
Therefore we use more precise timers and sleep functions
(nanosleep if available). We also delay **before** the
final buffer swap so the frame displays at more consistent
points in time.
Not only should this provide a somewhat more consistent
looking map scrolling at lower frame rates, it also
guarantees that we don't fall out of sync eg. with the
Audio during longer cutscenes.
'Graphics.frameReset()' now finally has a function, in
that it resets the ideal timestep approximation, which I
beliefe was also its job in the original RMXP engine.
I'm not sure how well this will work when the frame rate
is set to the monitor refresh rate and vsync is turned on.
Very likely unnecessary frame skips will occur here and there
due to imprecise timers. In the future we should probably
check if the frame rate is equal to or higher than the
monitor rate, and disable frame skip accordingly.
These changes currently break the F2 FPS display (it shows
a value that's slightly too high).
Releasing a Tilemap atlas into the pool on every map switch
will blow out tons of smaller textures for very little gain,
as atlas textures are already pretty much impossible to
recycle anywhere but in new Tilemaps.
This reverts commit 34d4103111.
Turns out we need at least GLSL 1.50, for which we'd
have to throw our OpenGL 2.0 compatibility in the water.
Nope, not yet.
Using "SDL2/SDL_xxx.h" instead of "SDL_xxx.h" caused
the include paths provided by pkg-config to be ignored,
and headers from a standard include path to be used instead.
If consecutive scanrows in the scene list have no foreign
elements in between them, we batch them up and draw them
in one glDrawElements() call.
This should reduce the Tilemap induced draw calls on
average by at least 50 percent.
