ssgSetNearFar(). This by default creates a symmetric view frustum which is
typically what an application wants.
However, to get control of the view frustum in order to build support for
asymmetric view frustums, we need to wrap these calls with a bit of our own
logic.
This set of changes wraps all calls to ssgSetFOV() and ssgSetNearFar() with
FGRenderer methods.
I also standardized how the FGRenderer class is handled in globals.[ch]xx.
This led to some cascading changes in a variety of source files.
As I was working my way through the changes, I fixed a few warnings along
the way.
- Ambient is based off the lookup table only.
- Diffuse is based off of the lookup table, but multiplied by a combination
of sun/fog colors.
The result is a bit more ambient light at dusk and night since the world is
never 100% dark. And we still get nice sunset/sunrise colored illumination
of surfaces that are directly illuminated by the sun.
immediate end to glut, only that I'm going through and cleaning up (and
taking inventory of the actual glut dependencies in case I want to investigate
SDL.)
- Added initial_value argument, in milliseconds, that specifies when
event is first run. The default value of -1 triggers the event
immediately as per the existing behaviour. A repeat_value greater than
zero runs the event no less than every 'repeat_value' milliseconds
afterwards. A repeat_value of zero deletes the event.
- Modified run queue behaviour such that only one event per frame is
run.
Think my brain is getting clogged with matrices :-). Well I've got the funky
orientation offset bug out of the model code. In the process the model.cxx
got optimized a bit. At some point we'll need to liberate model.cxx from the
viewer class, but it is no longer hard coded to access the "pilot view" to
get it's data. Instead it uses whatever the "current" view happens to be. I
may try and do that final bit of having models rotate independant of the view
tomorrow night, or start right in on the viewmgr and get a tower view up and
running. You guys have any preference? My brother's family is coming to
visit for a few days so what I don't get done tomorrow night probably won't
get done until after the weekend.
