-Nametag bubble visbility is oddly inconsistent. May vanish with future planned UI merges...
-VBOs are PAINFULLY slow on ATI hardware. This repos self-compiled davep/shining-fixes branch, so I'll leave the ball in LL's court for now regarding that.
Also a little review of Dead objects in general.
The old code was calling 'erase' on a large vector, once for
every dead object (which are a lot, especially if you exit or
teleport), causing the whole (large) vector to be copied every
time. The new code only calls erase once per call (about once
a second at most now), erasing 20 to 100 objects at the END
of the vector. This is INCREDIBLY faster.
This makes sound beacons green when playing at
full volume, yellow when playing at a lower volume
and red when they are muted (aka, in another parcel
that you can't hear the sounds of).
Originally this was a debug patch as muted sound
sources used to be implemented by setting the volume
to zero, which happens to use like three times more
CPU: so, having a lot of muted sound source caused
the audio thread to never release a mutex anymore
(cause it was never idle anymore), causing the main
loop to hang, waiting on that mutex - dropping the
FPS drastically. Hence it was necessary to see which
sound sources were muted for debugging purposes.
(Since VWR-14914, muted source source are not played
at all anymore, so they do not take extra CPU).
It's still fun to see this extra information though,
now the patch exists anyway.
Need to test:
localassetbrowser
preview related floaters
hgfloatertexteditor
maps
media textures! Currently very hacky
web browser
alpha masks on avatars
bumpmaps
Are all sky components appearing?
LLViewerDynamicTexture (texture baking, browser, animated textures, anim previews, etc)
Snapshot related features
Customize avatar
vfs floater
UI textures in general
Texture priority issues
-const'd all readonly LLCached[COA]Controls to prevent altering by mistake.
-added get() accessor to LLCached[COA]Controls to return cached type explicitly without manual casts.
-added missing operators to LLCachedCOAControl
-Converted a few more settings to LLCached[COA]Control
-Fixed LLColor4U -> LLSD -> LLColor4 problems in LLCachedControl
Ascent functionality fixes:
-Tag coloring pulled out of getClientInfo(Redundant. idleUpdateNameTag already handled it)
--Tag and color substituted at render-time. Simple boolean logic. Neglible perf penalty.
-Fixed llinfos spam if AscentShowSelfTagColor = false
-Client tag updated less superfluously
Added LLObjectList::getAvatar(LLUUID) for type-safe and quicker lookup
Added F32 overload to LLSD because using F64 needlessly is silly.
(And its lack of F32 overload caused issues with LLCachedControl<F32>)
Holy hell, this was an interesting one to implement. I wish I understood it better. Unfortunately I think this marks the end of trying to re-implement the Local Inventory for Temp and Local textures. It's just not feasible now that the entire inventory system has been whipped into a code shitstorm.
