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.
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.

Normally, when they allocate a VagCmd, they do a bunch of stuff to clear
all the status bits and reset things
in particular the InitVAGCmd function does a lot
but for the stereo command, they do a lot less:
Which means that the new_stereo_command can just have random status bits
left over from whatever the last user had.
we seem to end up in a state where byte21 is set, and this causes
everything else to be wrong and off-by-one dma transfer. My guess is
that the original game avoided this bug due to lucky timing that I don't
understand.
I think the fix of just clearing byte21 is ok because there's no way
that the old value of the byte is useful after the command is
repurposed.
Adds sprite distort, fixes buggy sprite rendering in progress, adds
scissoring support (used in various scrolling menus) and a very basic
implementation of `blit-displays`. This is enough to make the fade
effect in the progress menu work, along with all the menus working
properly without needing to use the REPL. This does not make screen
flipping and the filter when failing a mission work.
Added support in the decompiler for detecting `dma-buffer-add-gs-set`
and `dma-buffer-add-gs-set-flusha` and updated all of the Jak 2 code to
use it. Readability improved!
Fixes decompiler issue with `with-dma-buffer-add-bucket` not inlining
forms which broke syntax. Fixes store error warnings showing up for
non-existent stores, there is now a dedicated pass for this at the end.
I started work on making `BITBLTBUF` stuff work in the DirectRenderer,
but stopped for now because it wasn't strictly necessary. It will still
assert like before.
Fixes issue where warp effect looks wrong near the edge of the screen -
there was an unhandled `REGION_CLAMP` texture setting.
Fixes a potential bug where "warp page" things wouldn't be drawn at all
because there is no PC warp bucket. Unclear if anything actually fits
this category, but it doesn't hurt.
Turn on PC-format texture uploads for the water page so the precursor
guy uses the right texture. It has to use generic because it abuses the
generic death query thing to spawn particles.
Workaround for some issues with rebuilding level files after changing
engine files. Not a perfect solution, but probably good enough.
I didn't actually visually notice much of a difference with these hacks
unlike in Jak 1, but I also avoided checking the missions thoroughly
since the game crashes very often right now.
- Disable depth test for sprite glow (VU1 programs only `sq.xy` and
leaves `z` alone, which has Z_MAX from the template)
- Fix tfrag/tie/shrub issues when `use-camera-other` is set.
