Approximately three or four times now, the issue of pointers being
in an inconsistent state been an issue in the video backend renderers
with regards to tripping up other developers.
Global (ugh) resources are put into a unique_ptr and will always have a
well-defined state of being - null or not null
This was due to specifying negative source coordinates for the texture copy, which must lie within the bounds of the source and destination textures.
The behavior now is to clamp the copy region to [0 <= size <= backbuffer size], resulting in a copy region that can be smaller than the backbuffer, but never larger.
Since ResolveSubresource cannot be used with depth textures (and throws an error with the debug layer enabled), use a shader which selects the minimum depth value from all samples.
Changes the sampler by XFBEncoder to use a linear filter, rather than point, to match GL behavior.
They were only called at once, so no need to seperate them.
This also removes the only dereference of the NativeVertexFormat in VideoCommon, so backends may just return nullptr.
Removed Quality Levels from D3D AA options
Dropdown text now shows whether you're applying MSAA or SSAA
Added a description for SSAA
Moved SSAA checkbox
Cleaned up AA in backends slightly. Supported modes is now a list of ints.
Instead of blindly using the expected width, clamp it to the stride of the
buffer which dx11 returns. This prevents use from reading invalid memory
at the end of textures.
This doesn't solve the base issue of what to do when a game tries to copy
from outside the efb. On real hardware it returns random noise (biased
to all ones)
Instead of having special case code for efb2tex that ignores hashes,
the only diffence between efb2tex and efb2ram now is that efb2tex
writes zeros to the memory instead of actual texture data.
Though keep in mind, all efb2tex copies will have hashes of zero as
their hash.
Addded a few duplicated depth copy texture formats to the enum
in TextureDecoder.h. These texture formats were already implemented
in TextureCacheBase and the ogl/dx11 texture cache implementations.
SSAA relies on MSAA being active to work. We only supports 4x SSAA while in fact you can enable SSAA at any MSAA level.
I even managed to run 64xMSAA + SSAA on my Quadro which made some pretty sleek looking games. They were very cinematic though.
With this, it properly fixes up SSAA and MSAA support in GLES as well. Before they were broken when stereo rendering was enabled.
Now in GLES they can properly support MSAA and also stereo rendering with MSAA enabled(with proper extensions).
