output 1 strip of 2 triangles instead of 2 strips of 1 triangle.
Potentially it would reduce the geometry shader overhead. And it
might avoid a middle line in sprite in some AMD GPU/driver/OS
bad combination
The previous implementation of HPO adds an offset on vertex position. It
doesn't always work beside it moves the rendering window.
The new implementation will add a texture offset so that instead to sample
the middle of the GS texel, we will sample the middle of the real texture texel.
It must be manually enabled with
* UserHacks_HalfPixelOffset_New = 1 (keep a small offset as intended by GS effect)
* UserHacks_HalfPixelOffset_New = 2 (no offset)
v2: always apply a 0.5 offset in case of float coordinates (Tales of Abyss)
Might break other games but few of them uses float coordinates to read
back the target
Hardcode location of interface to the location 0. If I understand the
spec correctly (unlikely), variable in interface will get successive
location.
Goal is to reduce driver work. Instead to compute some location based on
name matching approach (and silly validation), the driver can now use
static allocation.
Tests on future Mesa 13 are welcome
Texture coordinate could be dummy/float/int integral/int normalized.
Old behavior:
* VS was in charge to select the texture coordinate
* int integral format wasn't supported
New behavior:
* Always compute all formats
* FS will be in charge to select the good format
Impact:
* VS will be slightly slower but it reduces shaders permutation from
little to 0 (won't be bad for CPU)
* FS speed isn't impacted as 2 separate code paths were already required
to support both format
* Rasterizer will be 33% slower but unlikely to be the limited factor of
the GPU
* In future we could directly use the integral format in the FS.
V2: remove useless PSin_t
The purpose is to avoid issue on MS-Intel driver without
a dedicated hack in the compilation.
Code doesn't use it so I suspect others implement to discard the
statement.
Code was completey bitrotten
Code was a partial test (and yet 500 lines already)
Shader is more and more complex and multithreading support greatly
reduce the cost of shader switch
Code is not yet enabled because it requires extensive test
The idea is to replace point by a 1 pixels sprite with the help of
a geometry shader. In 4x, point will be replaced by a 4x4 sprite.
UserHacks_UnscaleSprite = 1 will unscale flat sprites
UserHacks_UnscaleSprite = 2 will unscale all sprites (don't work well so far)
The idea of the hack is to redo the interpolation of texture coordinate
based on the non-upscaled pixel position.
It avoids various glitches but sprites aren't upscaled anymore (so no
more anti-aliasing, potentially a coefficient can be added).
