We are used to use the texture parameter for all util draw calls,
but AMD seems to have a bug where they use the sampler parameter
of stage 0 if no sampler is bound to the used stage.
So as workaround (and a bit as nicer code), we now use sampler
objects everywhere.
- FileSearch is now just one function, and it converts the original glob
into a regex on all platforms rather than relying on native Windows
pattern matching on there and a complete hack elsewhere. It now
supports recursion out of the box rather than manually expanding
into a full list of directories in multiple call sites.
- This adds a GCC >= 4.9 dependency due to older versions having
outright broken <regex>. MSVC is fine with it.
- ScanDirectoryTree returns the parent entry rather than filling parts
of it in via reference. The count is now stored in the entry like it
was for subdirectories.
- .glsl file search is now done with DoFileSearch.
- IOCTLV_READ_DIR now uses ScanDirectoryTree directly and sorts the
results after replacements for better determinism.
We are declaring we require ARB_shader_image_load_store in the shader, this isn't an extension on GLES because it is part of the GLSL ES 3.1 spec.
If we are running as GLES then just not put it in the shaders.
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.
GLES3 spec is worthless and only returns a boolean result for occlusion queries. This is fine for simple cellular games but we need more than a
boolean result.
Thankfully Nvidia exposes GL_NV_occlusion_queries under a OpenGL ES extension, which allows us to get full samples rendered.
The only device this change affects is the Nexus 9, since it is an Nvidia K1 crippled to only support OpenGL ES.
No other OpenGL ES device that I know of supports this extension.
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..
