In the original game, they had no choice but to use the memory card file
as their method of persisting settings. We are not limited by such
things.
It's inconvenient to have to load your save-file when launching the game
to initialize these settings to your liking, it's also confusing
behaviour to even some players that have played the game heavily for
over a decade. We can do better by globally saving these settings to the
`pc-settings` file instead.
Originally I only migrated the volume settings, then i figured it would
be nice to also have play-hints and subtitles settings persisted. More
could debatably be moved (language is a big one...) but these were the
low hanging fruit.
I also reduced the default volumes as that is something else that has
come up a few times.
This attempts to do a best-effort quick fix for the sprite alignment in
the menus and first person views on higher aspect ratios. This:
- Hides the binocular borders completely when using a non-standard ratio
- Hides the borders in jak's first person view when using a non-standard
ratio
- Uses a combination of manual alignment and approximation to get the
pause menu closer.

I accomplished the last one by manually aligning all of the core sprites
and text for the most popular aspect ratios. This means that from a
practical standpoint, things should align "perfectly". However, I then
used all of those values to derive a polynomial for each adjustment
based on the aspect ratio. This allows the game to do a half-decent
approximation/interpolation for every aspect ratio in-between the common
ones. It won't be perfect, but it will be better than this:
This PR does two main things:
1. Work through the main low-hanging fruit issues in the formatter
keeping it from feeling mature and usable
2. Iterate and prove that point by formatting all of the Jak 1 code
base. **This has removed around 100K lines in total.**
- The decompiler will now format it's results for jak 1 to keep things
from drifting back to where they were. This is controlled by a new
config flag `format_code`.
How am I confident this hasn't broken anything?:
- I compiled the entire project and stored it's `out/jak1/obj` files
separately
- I then recompiled the project after formatting and wrote a script that
md5's each file and compares it (`compare-compilation-outputs.py`
- The results (eventually) were the same:
> This proves that the only difference before and after is non-critical
whitespace for all code/macros that is actually in use.
I'm still aware of improvements that could be made to the formatter, as
well as general optimization of it's performance. But in general these
are for rare or non-critical situations in my opinion and I'll work
through them before doing Jak 2. The vast majority looks great and is
working properly at this point. Those known issues are the following if
you are curious:
Relates to #1353
This adds no new functionality or overhead to the compiler, yet. This is
the preliminary work that has:
- added code to the compiler in several spots to flag when something is
used without being properly required/imported/whatever (disabled by
default)
- that was used to generate project wide file dependencies (some
circulars were manually fixed)
- then that graph underwent a transitive reduction and the result was
written to all `jak1` source files.
The next step will be making this actually produce and use a dependency
graph. Some of the reasons why I'm working on this:
- eliminates more `game.gp` boilerplate. This includes the `.gd` files
to some extent (`*-ag` files and `tpage` files will still need to be
handled) this is the point of the new `bundles` form. This should make
it even easier to add a new file into the source tree.
- a build order that is actually informed from something real and
compiler warnings that tell you when you are using something that won't
be available at build time.
- narrows the search space for doing LSP actions -- like searching for
references. Since it would be way too much work to store in the compiler
every location where every symbol/function/etc is used, I have to do
ad-hoc searches. By having a dependency graph i can significantly reduce
that search space.
- opens the doors for common shared code with a legitimate pattern.
Right now jak 2 shares code from the jak 1 folder. This is basically a
hack -- but by having an explicit require syntax, it would be possible
to reference arbitrary file paths, such as a `common` folder.
Some stats:
- Jak 1 has about 2500 edges between files, including transitives
- With transitives reduced at the source code level, each file seems to
have a modest amount of explicit requirements.
Known issues:
- Tracking the location for where `defmacro`s and virtual state
definitions were defined (and therefore the file) is still problematic.
Because those forms are in a macro environment, the reader does not
track them. I'm wondering if a workaround could be to search the
reader's text_db by not just the `goos::Object` but by the text
position. But for the purposes of finishing this work, I just statically
analyzed and searched the code with throwaway python code.
This fixes issues with certain Jak 3 levels not rendering because there
is a mismatch between the DGO name, nickname and real level name (bsp
name).
FR3s use a different filename, so you can delete the ones you have after
this is merged.
This affects custom levels, but I don't have that toolchain set up so
someone else will have to test that.
Reverse engineer the skinning matrix calculation and port to GOAL. This
is about 3x faster than the MIPS2c version.
As usual, there is a `*use-new-bones*` flag to go back to the old
version.
Fix for a bug in the compiler's `.div.vf` implementation (only happens
if src/dst are the same), and fix for a typo in the register allocator
that would sometimes cause it not to consider xmm8-xmm15.
Removes trailing whitespace from goal_src files, eventually the
formatter will do this as well but it's not ready yet so this is a
decent interim solution.
A competent text editor will also do this / flag it for you.
I finally read through all the joint code and wrote up some
documentation. I think this will be really helpful when we try to
understand all the functions in `process-drawable`, or if somebody ever
wants to import/export animations.
This switches all three games to using a new faster GOAL joint
decompressor. It is on by default, but you can go back to the old
version by setting `*use-new-decompressor*` to false.
Also fix the log-related crash, fix the clock speed used in timer math.
Currently only tracks enemy kills, and how they were killed. There is
currently no menu for this, but I've already added most of the text for
it. Also did a bunch of misc decompilation fixes and renamed some
methods.
Fixes#3277Fixes#3278
Major change to how `deftype` shows up in our code:
- the decompiler will no longer emit the `offset-assert`,
`method-count-assert`, `size-assert` and `flag-assert` parameters. There
are extremely few cases where having this in the decompiled code is
helpful, as the types there come from `all-types` which already has
those parameters. This also doesn't break type consistency because:
- the asserts aren't compared.
- the first step of the test uses `all-types`, which has the asserts,
which will throw an error if they're bad.
- the decompiler won't emit the `heap-base` parameter unless necessary
now.
- the decompiler will try its hardest to turn a fixed-offset field into
an `overlay-at` field. It falls back to the old offset if all else
fails.
- `overlay-at` now supports field "dereferencing" to specify the offset
that's within a field that's a structure, e.g.:
```lisp
(deftype foobar (structure)
((vec vector :inline)
(flags int32 :overlay-at (-> vec w))
)
)
```
in this structure, the offset of `flags` will be 12 because that is the
final offset of `vec`'s `w` field within this structure.
- **removed ID from all method declarations.** IDs are only ever
automatically assigned now. Fixes#3068.
- added an `:overlay` parameter to method declarations, in order to
declare a new method that goes on top of a previously-defined method.
Syntax is `:overlay <method-name>`. Please do not ever use this.
- added `state-methods` list parameter. This lets you quickly specify a
list of states to be put in the method table. Same syntax as the
`states` list parameter. The decompiler will try to put as many states
in this as it can without messing with the method ID order.
Also changes `defmethod` to make the first type definition (before the
arguments) optional. The type can now be inferred from the first
argument. Fixes#3093.

This change adds a few new features:
- Decompiler automatically knows the type of `find-parent-method` use in
jak 1 and jak2 when used in a method or virtual state handler.
- Decompiler inserts a call to `call-parent-method` or
`find-parent-state`
- Removed most casts related to these functions
There are still a few minor issues around this:
- There are still some casts needed when using `post` methods, as `post`
is just a `function`, and needs a cast to `(function none)` or similar.
It didn't seem easy to change the type of `post`, so I'm not going to
worry about it for this PR. It only shows up in like 3 places in jak 2.
(and 0 in jak 1)
- If "call the handler if it's not #f" logic should probably be another
macro.
Fixes#805
Adds controller LED features to Jak 2:
- progressive flickering denoting health
- copies tomb simon says puzzle colors
- unique colors for each gun
- orange color for being indax
- yellow color for being in mech
- purple color for being darkjak
- blue color for being in board
- red flash when wanted.
May add more features later?
Also did some minor clean-up on some types.
This renames the method object in `defmethod`s to `this` and adds
detection for the `set-time!` and `time-elapsed?` macros.
Definitely my biggest PR yet...
- 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...
Previously, `object` and `none` were both top-level types. This made
decompilation rather messy as they have no LCA and resulted in a lot of
variables coming out as type `none` which is very very wrong and
additionally there were plenty of casts to `object`. This changes it so
`none` becomes a child of `object` (it is still represented by
`NullType` which remains unusable in compilation).
This change makes `object` the sole top-level type, and the type that
can represent *any* GOAL object. I believe this matches the original
GOAL built-in type structure. A function that has a return type of
`object` can now return an integer or a `none` at the same time.
However, keep in mind that the return value of `(none)` is still
undefined, just as before. This also makes a cast to `object`
meaningless in 90% of the situations it showed up in (as every single
thing is already an `object`) and the decompiler will no longer emit
them. Casts to `none` are also reduced. Yay!
Additionally, state handlers also don't get the final `(none)` printed
out anymore. The return type of a state handler is completely
meaningless outside the event handler (which is return type `object`
anyway) so there are no limitations on what the last form needs to be. I
did this instead of making them return `object` to trick the decompiler
into not trying to output a variable to be used as a return value
(internally, in the decompiler they still have return type `none`, but
they have `object` elsewhere).
Fixes#1703Fixes#830Fixes#928
This PR adds detection of the `launch-particles` and `seconds-per-frame`
macros to the decompiler, removing a lot of bloat and hiding many
process register uses.
I also added `og:preserve-this` comments to as many manual patches and
comments as I could, which will soon be used in conjunction with CI to
hopefully catch any regressions in future big decomp update PRs.
I have some concerns about the `launch-particles` macro (more details in
`sparticle-launcher.gc`) , but thus far, I have not seen anything break
yet.

This tries to match the original behavior of the sprite allocation
"randomness", which should reduce the number of very empty sprite blocks
sent to C++.
Fixes#2167
Reduces test flakiness if ran on multiple threads and gets rid of a few
hundred files from the source tree
I believe this also makes #1434 irrelevant and it can be closed.
