Note: It's not 100% perfect, as some of the GPU capablities leak into the
pixel shader UID.
Currently our UIDs don't get exported, so there is no issue. But someone
might want to fix this in the future.
Bug Fix: It was theoretically possible for a shader with depth writes
disabled to map to the same UID as a shader with late depth
writes.
No known test cases trigger this.
Bug Fix: The normal stage UIDs were randomly overwriting indirect
stage texture map UID fields. It was possible for multiple
shaders with diffrent indirect texture targets to map to
the same UID.
Once again, it dpesn't look like this bug was ever triggered.
This frees up 21 bits and allows us to shorten the UID struct by an entire
32 bits.
It's not strictly needed (as it's encoded into the length) but I added a
bit for per-pixel lighiting to make my life easier in the following
commits.
Fast depth is now more accurate than slow depth and should always be used.
The option will be kept in a different form as it is still used as a hack to fix some games.
Also, the slow depth code path will still be relied upon by cards that don't support GL_ARB_clip_control.
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!!
