This should avoid the stuttering due to slow unloading on some drivers.
I also turned up the amount of stuff we load per frame since nobody has
been complaining about stutters there, but there has been a few cases of
levels loading in too slowly.
(this only changes graphics, not actual GOAL level load times).
Makes the glow sprite renderer flush when full capacity is reached,
instead of at the end. Also allows us to reduce the textures used for it
(finally). Worst case scenario there's 4-5 flushes per frame.
Fixes incessant flickering in the dig.
Switches the slime look up table to be a texture, since I guess intel
drivers are terrible and putting the array in the shader makes it
extremely slow.
Also, a few minor changes:
- removed art-groups from the test-zone levels since this causes the
compiler to re-decompile the game, and makes the launcher slower. (left
it in commented out)
- Switched `decompile_code` to false by default in jak 2, in case people
run the decompiler and don't want to wait forever
- Fixed build warnings
- state handlers that are not inlined lambdas have smarter type
checking, getting rid of 99.9% of the casts emitted (they were not
useful)
- art groups were not being properly linked to their "master" groups.
- `max` in `ja` in Jak 2 was not being detected.
Another huge PR...
This PR adds a frame rate option to the graphics menu for some of the
most common refresh rates.
Jak 2 has much better support for variable frame rates than Jak 1 out of
the box, but there are still some edge cases, most prominently the fact
that sprites are still limited to the 300 tick system, which is most
noticeable on glow sprites. For this, I abused the glow boost debug
setting to scale the glow based on the frame rate.
While testing, I noticed two other cases that I have also patched,
there's likely to be many more that are yet to be found, but aside from
that, the game is playable as normal.

Some general improvements for the texture animator:
- Clouds are special cased, saving about 1 ms per frame
- Adjusting the amount of clouds now actually works.
- Fixed an issue with the brightness of clouds, and the way that they
fade out around the edges.
Fix an issue where the commit sha would not use the right blending mode
if `draw-raw-image` is running at the same time.
Fix an issue where japanese subtitles would accidentally overwrite other
textures, leading to random textures missing. (in particular, glows
would disappear after watching a cutscene with the subtitles on)
The way we got/stored background matrices is a bit weird and full of
leftovers from the first attempts at porting renderers. This doesn't
work well with the Jak 2 "other camera" system where some stuff is
rendered with a different camera matrix.
This cleans most of it up. The exception is that the collide mesh
renderer and the additional sprite culling I added still need to peek at
some cached camera matrices.
This fixes the problem where etie uses the wrong matrices for "other
camera" levels. Now the "hole covers" go in the holes in the background
of the throne room.
This changes how `BlitDisplays.cpp` works so it looks at the current
render buffer, rather than the back buffer.
This approach is a bit faster because we avoid copying the back buffer
on every single frame.
It also removes the black frames when the transition starts/stops.
The remaining issues are:
- there's still a single frame of weirdness with the sprite glow
renderer.
- when changing resolutions, it doesn't work super well.
There was a single static path buffer being shared between multiple file
i/o threads. So sometimes you would end up using the wrong path for the
file, and getting size/data for the wrong file.
I think the original reason to have this buffer was just me being lazy
when we changed how project paths works a long time ago. It was a bad
idea in the first place.
Fixes skull gems using a low resolution texture.
Fixes issue where jak in cutscenes is dark after watching oracle-level-1
(and likely other bugs with texture animations getting stuck)

The progress menu loads its icon textures from a .STR file that we were
previously ignoring.
This change:
- updates the decompiler so it can process a .STR file containing a
texture
- adds a feature to force an entire page to always be loaded in the PC
renderer by putting all textures in the GAME.FR3 file.
- regenerates the texture offset map file for jak 2 with these new
textures
For now, I've just put the icon textures in GAME.FR3. The downside is
that these will always stay on the GPU, using up VRAM even when they
aren't needed. But the entire GAME.FR3 file is under 3 MB so I think
it's ok.
- Add security wall animation
- Add waterfall animations
- Add lava animations
- Update layer values from the game to fix the security wall
- Remove leftover debug in `level.gc` that would break level-specific
animations on the second time you visited the level
- Optionally load animated slot textures to the pool so generic can use
them (fixes skull gems in UI)
Added framework to do texture animations entirely in C++. Currently only
works on relatively simple ones, and doesn't handle updating all
parameters - only the speeds.
Connected texture animations to merc and tfrag for skull gems, dark
bomb, and scrolling conveyors.
Cleaned up Tfragment/Tfrag3, which used to be two classes. This was one
of the first C++ renderers, so it had a weird design.
I havn't tested it yet, but I can almost guarantee that atleast `goalc`
will not work in the slightest!
But the project is atleast fully compiling. My hope is to start
translating some AVX to NEON next / get `goalc` working...eventually.
The main thing that was done here was to slightly modify the new
subtitle-v2 JSON schema to be more similar to the existing one so that
it can properly be used in Crowdin.
Draft while I double-check the diff myself
Along the way the following was also done (among other things):
- got rid of as much duplication as was feasible in the serialization
and editor code
- separated the text serialization code from the subtitle code for
better organization
- simplified "base language" in the editor. The new subtitle format has
built-in support for defining a base language so the editor doesn't have
to be used as a crutch. Also, cutscenes only defined in the base come
first in the list now as that is generally the order you'd work from
(what you havn't done first)
- got rid of the GOAL subtitle format code completely
- switched jak 2 text translations to the JSON format as well
- found a few mistakes in the jak 1 subtitle metadata files
- added a couple minor features to the editor
- consolidate and removed complexity, ie. recently all jak 1 hints were
forced to the `named` type, so I got rid of the two types as there isn't
a need anymore.
- removed subtitle editor groups for jak 1, the only reason they existed
was so when the GOAL file was manually written out they were somewhat
organized, the editor has a decent filter control, there's no need for
them.
- removed the GOAL -> JSON python script helper, it's been a month or so
and no one has come forward with existing translations that they need
help with migrating. If they do need it, the script will be in the git
history.
I did some reasonably through testing in Jak1/Jak 2 and everything
seemed to work. But more testing is always a good idea.
