The main thing that was done here was to slightly modify the new
subtitle-v2 JSON schema to be more similar to the existing one so that
it can properly be used in Crowdin.
Draft while I double-check the diff myself
Along the way the following was also done (among other things):
- got rid of as much duplication as was feasible in the serialization
and editor code
- separated the text serialization code from the subtitle code for
better organization
- simplified "base language" in the editor. The new subtitle format has
built-in support for defining a base language so the editor doesn't have
to be used as a crutch. Also, cutscenes only defined in the base come
first in the list now as that is generally the order you'd work from
(what you havn't done first)
- got rid of the GOAL subtitle format code completely
- switched jak 2 text translations to the JSON format as well
- found a few mistakes in the jak 1 subtitle metadata files
- added a couple minor features to the editor
- consolidate and removed complexity, ie. recently all jak 1 hints were
forced to the `named` type, so I got rid of the two types as there isn't
a need anymore.
- removed subtitle editor groups for jak 1, the only reason they existed
was so when the GOAL file was manually written out they were somewhat
organized, the editor has a decent filter control, there's no need for
them.
- removed the GOAL -> JSON python script helper, it's been a month or so
and no one has come forward with existing translations that they need
help with migrating. If they do need it, the script will be in the git
history.
I did some reasonably through testing in Jak1/Jak 2 and everything
seemed to work. But more testing is always a good idea.

This is a major deviation from the original game, which did not have any
way to access the nest after beating Metal Kor as the air train gets
hidden when he is beaten. This was mostly annoying because there are
precursor orbs in that level that you might miss.
This makes it so the air train can once again be used to enter the nest
even after beating Metal Kor. The rest of the level remains mostly the
same, except the Rift Ring does not spawn and an invisible wall is added
to the Metal Kor arena to prevent you from entering it as you are
normally unable to leave it anyway.
Trying to make up for some of the startup speed lost in the SDL
transition. This saves about 1s from start (from ~3s), and about 500 MB
of RAM.
- Faster TIE unpack by merging matrix groups, more efficient vertex
transforms, and skipping normal transforms on groups with no normals.
- Refactor generic merc and merc to use a single renderer with multiple
interfaces, rather than many renderers. Removed "LightningRenderer" as a
special thing, but Warp is still special
- Add more profiling stuff to startup and the loader.
- Remove `SDL_INIT_HAPTIC` - this turned out to be needed for
force-feedback steering wheels, and not needed for controller vibration
- Switched `vag-player` to use quicksort instead of the default GOAL
sort (very slow)
Adds support for adding custom subtitles to Jak 2 audio. Comes with a
new editor for the new system and format. Compared to the Jak 1 system,
this is much simpler to make an editor for.
Comes with a few subtitles already made as an example.
Cutscenes are not officially supported but you can technically subtitle
those with editor, so please don't right now.
This new system supports multiple subtitles playing at once (even from a
single source!) and will smartly push the subtitles up if there's a
message already playing:
Unlike in Jak 1, it will not hide the bottom HUD when subtitles are
active:
Sadly this leaves us with not much space for the subtitle region (and
the subtitles are shrunk when the minimap is enabled) but when you have
guards and citizens talking all the time, hiding the HUD every time
anyone spoke would get really frustrating.
The subtitle speaker is also color-coded now, because I thought that
would be fun to do.
TODO:
- [x] proper cutscene support.
- [x] merge mode for cutscenes so we don't have to rewrite the script?

Gives proper names to almost every color. It is very apparent that some
colors are context-sensitive/made for a specific purpose, so those
colors were named after that purpose instead of a generic color name.
Also fixed an original game bug in `loader.gc` on a method that's called
quite often, though I have no clue what erroneous behavior it could have
even caused.
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.
Doesn't actually do anything in Jak 2 because the collide mesh isn't
extracted, but the functionality is all there. Also updated the renderer
a bit to keep the colors more readable.
Disables the fog hack for Jak 2, where it's not useful and kind of
breaks in most levels which rely on dark vertices that aren't underwater
(e.g. city windows).
Actors that use types from a level that got unloaded should now get
killed immediately instead of continuing to exist and eventually crash
the game.
NOTE: Will spam the console whenever a bad actor tries to spawn. I would
like to document all instances of where this happens!
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.
Where applicable, of course.
My system language is set to English so I actually can't test this. If
anyone has their Windows language (NOT LOCALE) set to Spanish, German,
French, Italian or Japanese please test this.
Fixes#1734
Also fixes the opengoal debugger on Windows and fixes the decomp for
`menu` which was causing some crashes related to input handling.
Fixes the aspect ratio of the font renderer (Jak 2 does not need the
same hacks as Jak 1), the custom letterbox/pillarbox sizes and fixes the
heap display.

Adds the `pckernel` system to Jak 2, allowing you to do the PC-specific
things that Jak 1 lets you do like change game resolution, etc.
In other to reduce the amount of code duplication for something that
we're gonna be changing a lot over time, I split it into a few more code
files. In this new system, `pckernel-h.gc`, `pckernel-common.gc`
(previously `pckernel.gc`) and `pc-debug-common.gc` are the files that
should be shared across all games (I hacked the Jak 2 project to pull
these files from the Jak 1 folder), while `pckernel-impl.gc`,
`pckernel.gc` and `pc-debug-methods.gc` are their respective
game-specific counterparts that should be loaded after. I'm not fully
happy with this, I think it's slightly messy, but it cleanly separates
code that should be game-specific and not accidentally copied around and
code that should be the same for all games anyway.
Ports some of the custom PC port debugging code from Jak 1, such as the
entity debugger, Anim Tester X and part tester, to Jak 2 and gives the
PC menu code the same treatment Jak 1 received recently in #2216.
Some adjustments have been made to make things work in Jak 2 and some
stuff is still incomplete.
The majority of the default PC menu code has been left commented out in
preparation for @ManDude's plan to port the rest of the Jak 1 `pckernel`
features to Jak 2.
Also adds the code for `palace-scenes` to gsrc as that seems to have
been missed.
Notable things:
- This assert is hit when trying to save the pc-settings file, NYI
https://github.com/open-goal/jak-project/blob/e630b506903d7f7028dff89702be7f586c2120e7/game/kernel/common/Symbol4.h#L14
so right now settings aren't persisted. But RPC defaults to on
- The existing functions can probably be made generic based off the game
version, but I didn't spend time refactoring them yet as they aren't
really ready to be used in jak 2 yet (we have no screenshots for the
levels for example)
