This drops the "feature" to load level 0 from the custom texture
and all other levels from the native one if the size matches.
But in my opinion, when a custom texture only provide one level,
no more should be used at all.
A number of games make an EFB copy in I4/I8 format, then use it as a
texture in C4/C8 format. Detect when this happens, and decode the copy on
the GPU using the specified palette.
This has a few advantages: it allows using EFB2Tex for a few more games,
it, it preserves the resolution of scaled EFB copies, and it's probably a
bit faster.
D3D only at the moment, but porting to OpenGL should be straightforward..
- Calculate ZSlope every flush but only set PixelShader Constant on Reset Buffer when zfreeze
- Fixed another Pixel Shader bug in D3D that was giving me grief
Results are still not correct, but things are getting closer.
* Don't cull CULLALL primitives so early so they can be used as reference
planes.
* Convert CalculateZSlope to screenspace coordinates.
* Convert Pixelshader to screenspace coordinates (instead of worldspace
xy coordinates, which is totally wrong)
* Divide depth by 2^24 instead of clamping to 0.0-1.0 as was done
before.
Progress:
* Rouge Squadron 2/3 appear correct in game (videos in rs2 save file
selection are missing)
* Shadows draw 100% correctly in NHL 2003.
* Mario golf menu renders correctly.
* NFS: HP2, shadows sometimes render on top of car or below the road.
* Mario Tennis, courts and shadows render correctly, but at wrong depth
* Blood Omen 2, doesn't work.
Based on the feedback from pull request #1767 I have put in most of
degasus's suggestions in here now.
I think we have a real winner here as moving the code to
VertexManagerBase for a function has allowed OGL to utilize zfreeze now
:)
Correct use of the vertex pointer has also corrected most of the issue
found in pull request #1767 that JMC47 stated. Which also for me now
has Mario Tennis working with no polygon spikes on the characters
anymore! Shadows are still an issue and probably in the other games
with shadow problems. Rebel Strike also seems better but random skybox
glitches can show up.
Initial port of original zfreeze branch (3.5-1729) by neobrain into
most recent build of Dolphin.
Makes Rogue Squadron 2 very playable at full speed thanks to recent core
speedups made to Dolphin. Works on DirectX Video plugin only for now.
Enjoy! and Merry Xmas!!
The maths appears to give crazy impossible answers without this fix, but the cause is all the ints being "promoted" to unsigned because of the single unsigned division at the end.
This reverts an optimization which isn't worth imo. Every texture uploads have to alloc vram and a staging buffer, so there is no need to do both in the same call.
