I'm switching away from visual studio (because its broken) so figured
I'd document / commit the minimum to get a working environment with the
editor I chose (Zed).
Also cleaned up the main README so it's not so verbose, link out to
secondary pages, etc.
I also deleted the Arch and Fedora dockerfiles, they were broken. The
ubuntu one still works, so i left it.
This attempts to get into master whatever work was done in this PR /
it's earlier PR https://github.com/open-goal/jak-project/pull/3965
I don't want this work to be lost / floating around in massive PRs.
However the changes are:
- switch to ntsc_v1 instead of PAL as the development target, as we have
done for all other games
- remove most of the copied-from-jak2/3 changes as they need to be
confirmed during the decompilation process not just assumed
- avoids committing any changes to `game/kernel/common` as it was not
clear to me if these were changes made in jak x's kernel that were not
properly broken out into it's own functions. We don't want to
accidentally introduce bugs into jak1-3's kernel code.
- in other words, if the change in the kernel only happens in jak x...it
should likely be specific to jak x's kernel, not common.

Resolves#3075
TODO before merge:
- [x] Properly draw non-korean strings while in korean mode (language
selection)
- [x] Check jak 3
- [x] Translation scaffolding (allow korean characters, add to Crowdin,
fix japanese locale, etc)
- [x] Check translation of text lines
- [x] Check translation of subtitle lines
- [x] Cleanup PR / some performance optimization (it's take a bit too
long to build the text and it shouldn't since the information is in a
giant lookup table)
- [x] Wait until release is cut
I confirmed the font textures are identical between Jak 2 and Jak 3, so
thank god for that.
Some examples of converting the korean encoding to utf-8. These show off
all scenarios, pure korean / korean with ascii and japanese / korean
with replacements (flags):

And it working in game. `Input Options` is a custom not-yet-translated
string. It now shows up properly instead of a disgusting block of
glyphs, and all the original strings are hopefully the same
semantically!:

Quite the challenge. The crux of the problem is -- Naughty Dog came up
with their own encoding for representing korean syllable blocks, and
that source information is lost so it has to be reverse engineered.
Instead of trying to figure out their encoding from the text -- I went
at it from the angle of just "how do i draw every single korean
character using their glyph set".
One might think this is way too time consuming but it's important to
remember:
- Korean letters are designed to be composable from a relatively small
number of glyphs (more on this later)
- Someone at naughty dog did basically this exact process
- There is no other way! While there are loose patterns, there isn't an
overarching rhyme or reason, they just picked the right glyph for the
writing context (more on this later). And there are even situations
where there IS NO good looking glyph, or the one ND chose looks awful
and unreadable (we could technically fix this by adjusting the
positioning of the glyphs but....no more)!
Information on their encoding that gets passed to `convert-korean-text`:
- It's a raw stream of bytes
- It can contain normal font letters
- Every syllable block begins with: `0x04 <num_glyphs> <...the glyph
bytes...>`
- DO NOT confuse `num_glyphs` with num jamo, because some glyphs can
have multiple jamo!
- Every section of normal text starts with `0x03`. For example a space
would be `0x03 0x20`
- There are a very select few number of jamo glyphs on a secondary
texture page, these glyph bytes are preceeded with a `0x05`. These jamo
are a variant of some of the final vowels, moving them as low down as
possible.
Crash course on korean writing:
- Nice resource as this is basically what we are doing -
https://glyphsapp.com/learn/creating-a-hangeul-font
- Korean syllable blocks have either 2 or 3 jamo. Jamo are basically
letters and are the individual pieces that make up the syllable blocks.
- The jamo are split up into "initial", "medial" and "final" categories.
Within the "medial" category there are obvious visual variants:
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Combination (horizontal + a vertical)
- These jamo are laid out in 6 main pre-defined "orientations":
- initial + vertical medial
- initial + horizontal medial
- initial + combination
- initial + vertical medial + final
- initial + horizontal medial + final
- initial + combination + final
- Sometimes, for stylistic reasons, jamo will be written in different
ways (ie. if there is nothing below a vertical vowel will be extended).
- Annoying, and ND's glyph set supports this stylistic choice!
- There are some combination of jamo that are never used, and some that
are only used for a single word in the entire language!
With all that in mind, my basic process was:
- Scan the game's entire corpus of korean text, that includes subtitles.
It's very easy to look at the font texture's glyphs and assign them to
their respective jamo
- This let me construct a mapping and see which glyphs were used under
which context
- I then shoved this information into a 2-D matrix in excel, and created
an in-game tool to check every single jamo permutation to fill in the
gaps / change them if naughty dogs was bad. Most of the time, ND's
encoding was fine.
-
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTtyMeb5-mL5rXseS9YllVj32BGCISOGZFic6nkRV5Er5aLZ9CLq1Hj_rTY7pRCn-wrQDH1rvTqUHwB/pubhtml?gid=886895534&single=true
anything in red is an addition / modification on my part.
- This was the most lengthy part but not as long as you may think, you
can do a lot of pruning. For example if you are checking a 3-jamo
variant (the ones with the most permutations) and you've verified that
the medial jamo is as far up vertically as it can be, and you are using
the lowest final jamo that are available -- there is nothing to check or
improve -- for better or worse! So those end up being the permutations
between the initial and medial instead of a three-way permutation
nightmare.
- Also, while it is a 2d matrix, there's a lot of pruning even within
that. For example, for the first 3 orientations, you dont have to care
about final vowels at all.
- At the end, I'm left with a lookup table that I can use the encode the
best looking korean syllable blocks possible given the context of the
jamo combination.
Finnish translations for Jak 2. These include cutscenes and all game
text.
All subtitle timings for cutscenes as well as non-cutscenes have been
edited for a better flow and to fit the 4x3 ratio.
I've been working on these solo for the most part so any input from
other finns would be appreciated.
A few issues in the progress menu I mentioned in #3504 still persist
I couldn't figure out how to add Finnish to the options menu, so I'm
gonna need someone else to do that part. 💀
But I was able to add them to the debug menu.
I also increased subtitle heap so hopefully that doesn't break anything.
Fixes#3620

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.
> 32:9 screenshot.
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:
People seem to be translating lines that aren't in the base english one,
such as `mtn-plat-buried-rocks-a`
This is fine, but Crowdin will continue to remove these every sync PR
because they aren't in the base english file. So some kind of
segregation needs to happen.
If we didn't want these scenes translated, then they should be banned
from being translated via the editor / etc in the first place (shouldn't
have been included in the metadata).
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.
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.
- `vector-h`
- `gravity-h`
- `bounding-box-h`
- `matrix-h`
- `quaternion-h`
- `euler-h`
- `transform-h`
- `geometry-h`
- `trigonometry-h`
- `transformq-h`
- `bounding-box`
- `matrix`
- `matrix-compose`
- `transform`
- `quaternion`
- `euler`
- `trigonometry`
Not a whole lot of changes, just a couple of new functions and one new
file (`matrix-compose`).
This sets out the bones of a Jak 3 build, many things are stubbed out,
guessed, or copied from Jak 2 but it should at least be good enough to:
run `task set-game-jak3`
launch the repl
run builds from the repl
build outputs themselves are untested but the build itself runs without
errors

Some files were in the `banned_objects` list and were thus excluded from
the `all_objs` file.
Also implements the `pexcw` instruction which is only used in `hfrag`
code.
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
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.

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?

Updates the decompiler for the new format and there's new macros. This
new format should be easier to read/parse.
Also rewrote `sp-init-fields!` (both jak 1 and 2) from assembly to GOAL.
Hopefully I did not miss any regressions in Jak 1/2 while updating the
files, it's a lot.
