It was narrowed down recently that a lot of people have issues with the
controller input because of Steam Input working as intended. Steam Input
can be configured to replicate controller inputs as keyboard inputs (for
example, pressing X on your controller presses Enter on the keyboard).
This results in the problem of "jumping pauses the game" and similar
issues. This is a consequence of the intended behaviour of the game
listening to all input sources at the same time.
Since the vast majority of players are using controllers over keyboards,
it makes sense to disable the keyboard input by default to solve this
problem. However that makes things awkward for users that want to use
the keyboard (how do they enable the setting). The solution is a new
imgui option in the settings menu:
**Known issue that I don't care about** -- in Jak 1's menu code, since
the flags are controlled by pointers to values instead of a lambda like
in jak 2, the menu won't update live with the imgui option. This has no
functional impact and I don't care enough to fix it.
I also made the pc-settings.gc file persist on first load if the file
wasn't found. Hopefully this helps diagnose the support issues related
to the black screen.
# Why not just ignore the keyboard inputs for a period of time?
This won't work, the keyboard is polled every frame. Therefore if you
hold down the X button on your controller, steam is continuously
signaling that `Enter` is held down on the keyboard.
Yes it would be possible to completely disable the keyboard while the
controller is being used, but this defeats the purpose of creating an
input system that allows multiple input sources at the same time.
With an explicit option, not only can the user decide the behaviour they
want (do they want the keyboard ignored or simultaneously listened to)
but we avoid breaking strange edge-cases in usage leading to never
ending complexity:
- ie. imagine steam input sends events to the mouse, well you can't
disable the mouse while using the keyboard because most times people are
using mouse and keyboard
- ie. a user that wants to hold a direction with the keyboard and press
buttons on the controller in tandem (something i frequently do while
TAS'ing, to move in a perfect straight line)
The bind carried forward from Jak 1 is annoying -- R1 shoots the gun.
Allow the user to use whatever button combination they want by modifying
it in the `pc-settings` file.

- Wired up the menu settings to change the settings in game, not just on
boot
- Removed all the duplication in the game options menu code
- Fixed the mouse code so that it properly brings the virtual analog
stick back to neutral when the mouse stops
- Extended the sensitivity min/max for those that want to ensure the
slightest movement maxes out virtual analog stick.
This is the more correct way of doing what that code is trying to do.
Fixes#3296
Also fixed some type inconsistencies with related code, probably wasn't
causing issues though.
May also fix the "black screen on startup" issues people keep having,
but that would simply be a nice bonus and isn't the aim of this PR.
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
Adds the opengoal cheats to the secrets menu. Only cheats that are fully
functional and unlockable are there right now, which is eight cheats.
This update will reset most Jak 2 settings.
Also fixes#3274 .
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.

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.
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).

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.
