Changes

libdma:
Added a dma_tags.h header for easy dmatag creation
Now supports normal/chain/ucab normal/ucab chain transfers
Supports enabling/using cpcond0 dma fast waits

libpacket:
Handles only allocating/freeing packet data.
Redesigned to use only a 128-bit QWORD type
Supports UCAB & SPR packets
Appending data uses packing macros available in other headers

libdraw:
Handles only making GIF packets.
PATH2/PATH3 compatible
New 2d primitives including outline/arc primitives
New primitive start/end system, similar to OpenGL's Begin()/End() blocks
Texture uploading support, including textures with cluts
Drawing Environment headers and settings are now defined
Supports alpha blending and transparent pixels by default
Libdraw functions take and return QWORD* pointers for easier queue management.

For example:
Qwords can be used/reserved prior to drawing something (vifcodes for path2, or dmatags for dmachains).
Easier to calculate qword counts for dmatags in dmachains without having to keep track of how many qwords were used.
Drawing small static animations or non-changing queues, similar to gsKit's persistent queue, without having to rerender it all.
Allows using multiple packets to doublebuffer dma sends.

libgraph:
Only modifies GS privileged registers and handles vram.
Flicker filter support when using interlacing with a single hi-res framebuffer
Scales small framebuffers for modes with large resolutions
Small resolutions such as 256x224 are now supported
Vsync handler support
Vram allocator was added, allows freeing in FIFO order, and total clearing of vram.

libfont:
Supports FONTX2 type fonts and printing in ASCII(JISX201) or Shift-JIS
Supports rom0:KROM fontx2 type font, as well, thanks to nika of LbFn
Supports FontStudio 4.1 bitmap fonts with kerning information and scaling
FontStudio printing supports UTF-8 strings up to character U+FFEF
(U+FFF0,U+FFF1,U+FFF2 are reserved for the implementation)
Sample shows how to load/unload each type of font as well as printing.

Headers:
New QWORD type in tamtypes.h, used for packing 128-bit data
Separated the GIF/GS registers
Added new vifcode/VIF register headers
Added various VIF/GIF/DMA packing macros to each of their headers.
Fixed the timer registers to be u32* not u64*

Samples:
All of the samples for libdraw/libgraph/libmpeg samples have been updated
Some samples have been enhanced
A new libfont sample has been added

Etc:
I've fixed all the compiler warnings and added a bugfix here or there.
The libpacket/libgraph/libdma libraries have no dependencies.
The libdraw library has a dependency on libmf or libm for the arc primitives.

Patching

Added:
I've added about ~30 new files and one new directory, I have a list in case it's needed.

Removed:
The only file that needs to be removed is ee/graph/include/graph_registers.h

Here's the patch:

Mirror for the program if the site isn't working:
FontStudio 4.12

SVN isn't working right now, but I'm having trouble with this patch anyway, it looks damaged. for example:

[ragnarok2040]

I was using Codeblocks to work on the whole ps2sdk source, which is why I made a single diff, heh. I was actually planning on breaking it up, but I forgot in the rush to get it out somewhere. I've been antsy since I had a rm command go wild early last year.

I can use a script or something to break the patch down to individual patches, then make patchsets for their individual purpose. I've done it before when I was looking at the toolchain patches.

I think 8 patchsets might do it:
libdraw
libgraph
libpacket
libdma
libfont
libmpeg
additional headers
misc. bugfixes

I'll put them in a tarball and upload them somewhere, :D.

Edit:
Here they are. I just did it by hand rather than go to the bother of using a script or shell command. The patches were pretty much grouped together already in the unified diff so it took ~15 minutes.

Thanks. SVN is still down but remind me when it's back up and I'll apply.

[ragnarok2040]

Will do, :D.

[ragnarok2040]

SVN is working again, :D.

I uploaded another patch to fix the netfs module. It adds compatibility for block devices, like "hdd:".

[jimparis]

All applied, thanks.

[ooPo]

Wow, that's a lot of interesting stuff.

[ragnarok2040]

Yep, :D. I remember you mentioned somewhere that you were trying to get the teapot sample to display more than one teapot, but were getting artifacts.

I'm not exactly sure what causes the problem, but flipping the framebuffer outside of the rendering packets seems to fix it. It's the same method gsKit uses for gsKit_sync_flip(). I modified the teapot sample to render 4 at once, which is about ~40,000 vertices. I doublebuffered the dma sends as well, but that was before adding the buffer flipping, which waits for the prior dma send to finish, and probably removes the usefulness of using two packets, heh.

Jim, it looks like the patches that included new files didn't have the new files committed to the svn repository.

I made a list using 'diff -bur'. I'm not sure if a 'svn add -R' might work for everything or if you'll have to do it manually for each of them.

[jimparis]

Sorry, forgot to add them (svn is a pain!). Should be fixed now, hopefully. No tedium, just a quick

[ragnarok2040]

Nice, it compiles fine now.

I did some redundant #include purging prior to making the patches, and somehow removed or forgot to #include packet.h into the libdraw samples.

This small patch fixes that, and that should be everything, :D.

[jimparis]

Got it, thanks

[misfire]

I noticed that some header files have the executable property set.

To fix it:

[jimparis]

fixed, thanks
