- currently half the shader selection code (GLSL vs ARB) is in
fillGLcaps. The parts that check for software shaders are in
GetDeviceCaps. That placement, will work, but is definitely not optimal.
FillGLcaps should detect support - it should not make decision as to
what's used, because that's not what the purpose of the function is.
GetDeviceCaps should report support as it has already been selected.
Instead, select shader mode in its own function, called in the
appropriate places.
- unifying pixel and vertex shaders into a single selection is a
mistake. A software vertex shader can be coupled with a hardware arb or
glsl pixel shader, or no shader at all. Split them back into two and add
a SHADER_NONE variant.
- drawprim is doing support checks for ARB_PROGRAM, and making shader
decisions based on that - that's wrong, support has already been
checked, and decided upon, and shaders can be implemented via software,
ARB_PROGRAm or GLSL, so that support check isn't valid.
- Store the shader selected mode into the shader itself. Different types
of shaders can be combined, so this is an improvement. In fact, storing
the mode into the settings globally is a mistake as well - it should be
done per device, since different cards have different capabilities.
Make wined3d use register combiners for texture stage operations. In
order to do that the texture unit index needs to be separated from the
texture stage index. For cards that don't support the
NV_register_combiners extension nothing should change.
GL_LIMITS(textures) is currently used for both the number of texture
stages and the maximum number of simultaneous textures. In the current
code that's the same, but in a later patch that will be separated,
since a texture stage doesn't have to reference an actual
texture. Also, shaders can access a larger number of samplers than the
number of texture units the fixed function pipeline can access.
Let the few existing parts which need the capabiliteis use the WineD3D
capability structure (gl_info). This info structure contains next to
'flags' inidicating certain features also all GL/GLX functions
pointers. Because D3D8 moves over to the wined3d gl_info structure all
the gl prototypes in d3dcore_gl.h were unneeded and removed.

windows, instead of in fullscreen mode.

being in the correct backbuffer format (e.g. 16 bit games will run
with a 24bit X backbuffer).

out of sync, this reduces the number of texture object state changes
during game play in Axis and allies from several hundreds to 0 or 1.

the interface but it is more correct way (Microsoft even have a
resource type of volume).
- Moved usage, format, allocatedMemory and size onto the resource
class structure.
- Refactored Preload for classes that inherit BaseTexture, preload now
binds the texture instead of bind texture calling preload, bindTexture
allocated a glTexture if there isn't one.
- Added two new class static members BaseTexture_CleanUp and
Resource_CleanUp that should be called by classes that implement
BaseTexture or Resource.
- Only prototype the interfaces which are subclassed (I overdid it
last time!).
- Implement Get/Set Texture and GetBackBuffer, plus device's
GetDisplayMode / GetDeviceCaps.
- Make some of the d3d9 skeleton code issue fixme's to highlight code
which hasn't been migrated yet.
- Correct the d3d9 headers for D3DSURFACE_DESC which caused stack
corruption in demos.
- Move some of the screen mode related functions into wined3d and add
untested support for the new d3d9 options of providing the format to
some of the calls.
- Move other functions from the directx interface into the common
library and implement the calls from d3d9 as well.
- Copy across the first of the functions used to make traces more readable,
creating utils.c to store them in. Eventually the ones in d3d8 will be
removed but for now just duplicate the code.
