v1 It won't allow users to try to input a value that isn't supported
osd (size, timeout, max), tc offsets (x, y), rendering threads.
v2 Use const if applicable for variables throughout
GSSettingsDlg.cpp. Will cleanup some warnings.
Hack is obsolete/replaced with accurate date/date_one option/code.
There's pretty much no usecase for it remaining other than using it as
an alternative to skipdraw which removes/breaks transparency effects.
Move Additional colclip info, dithering, FixedTEX0 to extra debug logs.
It will allow to keep track of more important stuff going on and they
can be enabled with ENABLE_EXTRA_LOG if needed.
Change context creation log type from stderr to stdout.
Leave it as an ini option only.
People should never use custom resolution as it causes many issues and
many features aren't supported with it.
On linux option was removed a long time ago.
Automatic, Force Disabled, Force Enabled.
Automatic - automatically determinate if a game needs the half screen
fix.
Force Disabled - fully disables the half bottom fix. It will help
Xenosaga games.
Force Enabled - fully enables the half bottom fix. Will help Lord of the
Rings Two Towers, Superman Shadows of Apokolips, Midnight Club 3.
Rename Automatic CRC Level label back to CRC Hack Level.
Rename Accurate Date label to DATE Accuracy.
Rename Accurate Blending label to Blending Accuracy.
Remove 10x and 12x upscaling options, we don't want to hit the maximum
texture size limit and cause issues so better play it safe and allow
only up until 8x upscaling.
Reword the tooltip to make it a bit more fitting with it's current
behavior.
Add all games in the list that have some sort of aggressive state.
Update anisotropic filtering, autoflush sw, sparse texture, gl blending tooltips.
With the sprite hack removed it was no longer possible to toggle this
hack on nvidia gpus, the toggle has been moved to Disable Safe Features.
It some issues caused by the hack in sotc, fatal frame and border offset
issues.
The adapter ID was needed to be passed before for a legacy DX9 hack which is no longer present, I figured it could cause a potential conflict when the adapter value stored at INI is outdated. (which is now a possibility after
lightning removed reference device)
The other alternative would be to just force set the INI value on dialog initialization to avoid unavailable values in the INI file, but that would be a rough for a person transitioning from debug build to release build using the reference device
option, so just removing this outdated variable for now, I rather doubt we'd be needing it in the future, in case we need adapter passing to subdialogs, the former suggestion needs to be implemented. Not implementing it right now since there's no need for it.
A short summary how d3d option behaves compared to gl.
None d3d-> behaves the same
Basic d3d-> even less than 1/3 of Basic opengl.
Medium d3d -> less than 1/3 of Basic opengl.
High d3d -> 1/3 of Basic opengl.
Note: Medium and High options are mostly intended for debug use.
Allow to open Advanced settings and hacks window even when hw hacks are
off, this should allow OpenGL advanced settings to be configured even
when hw hacks are off in the gui since the options are configurable
wihtout depending on hw hacks checkbox.
Hw hacks will be greyed out when the checkbox button is not enabled.
New behavior will only be present on opengl hw gui. Direct3d11 will remain the same.
Change the name to Accurate Blending so it fits more with Date option
next to it, get rid of low/high end recommended nametag for the list and
just use Recommended for Basic level, lot of users seem to be using high
for "high end pc" which they shouldn't.
This will allow to save hotkey option toggling to the ini which
should fix gui updating with hotkey toggles.
Note: Render hw/sw switch doesn't work.
Also update some options that didn't have hotkey nametag.
I used glcorearb.h as input file
Code is limited to core gl + KHR/ARB extension
GL1.X must be handled manually (need only 3 functions)
I think the solution would be to migrate gl.h/glext.h to the
single glcorearb.h. However we might need to update the code to fetch
pointer accordingly
Note: we don't check the null ptr anymore on GSwnd. It isn't important
as we check the extension.
v2: update copyright
v3: update copyright space
v4: update copyright of script
fix copyright
We are removing MSAA for the following reasons:
1. It's broken
2. Fixing it would mean it would perform as well as FSAA, which defeats the purpose of having it
3. It's only supported by DX and Windows
4. Reduction in code complexity
Press F to pay respect
Idea is to disable multiple features in 1 option to avoid gui clutter.
Unscale Point and Line:
This partially reverts PR #2710 restoring Unscale Point and Line but as a disable option.
It can help Xenosaga games.
GS Memory clearning:
This disables GS memory clearing to be done on the CPU, by default both gpu and cpu do memory clearing
which is more accurate.
It can help Kingdom Hearts games.
