This converts the deferred lighting shader to use uniform buffers for
the dynamic data sent to the GPU while rendering the lighting effects.
This doesn't affect performance but the deferred lighting code is a
nicely isolated piece of rendering code where I could test how the
rendering code could use the uniform buffers.
This is related to #910.
This converts all usages of bmpman textures to OpenGL texture arrays.
That means that all frames of an animation are stored in a single OpenGL
texture object and can be accessed at the same time in a single draw
call. This should significantly reduce the overhead of drawing lots of
particles since all particles of a single animation can be drawn with a
single draw call.
This fixes#1169.
The root issue of #976 was that the code that reset the depth buffer of
the scene framebuffer was actually setting the depth buffer of the bloom
framebuffer since that didn't get reset properly. To fix this I
introduced a system in our GL_state which keeps track of a stack of
"bound" framebuffers which allows us to return to the previous
framebuffer with a simple function call.
I also added support for GL_KHR_debug since that help me while debugging
which texture was in use. In the future I'll probably extend that to
other areas of the OpenGL code as needed.
This fixes#976.
The new design is centered around the Event Trace JSON format but it
should still be possible to adapt it for other profiling tools. The old
profiling system has been removed.
primative_batch_buffer:desired_buffer_size was not properly initialized in vc120 compilers during debugging. Default constructors proved insufficient, and std:map::operator[] seems to ignore them anyway. This fix gets around that by explicitly clearing desired_buffer)size from within batching_init_buffer()
