vr.anti_aliasing now takes fxaa, smaa or off. SMAA runs the reference
implementation (third_party/smaa, MIT) at its High preset: luma edge
detection and blending weights into per-eye images, then neighborhood
blending into the runtime's swapchain through FXAA's final pass. Its area and
search lookup textures are uploaded once per device. If SMAA cannot be set
up, the eyes fall back to FXAA.
Also export vr.anti_aliasing from config.yaml: the VR backend reads the
process environment, so the setting only worked as an environment variable.
On a Quest 2 through SteamVR at 120 Hz (2136x2236 per eye), SMAA ran at 118.6
fps against 118.8 for FXAA, with p99 frame times of 10.1 and 9.5 ms.
Emulated images keep a running total of their decoded and ETC2/EAC sizes over every mip and layer. --profile writes both as counters, and summarize_profile_trace.py prints their peaks.
Roblox's VR debug device renders both eyes into single-sample textures, so
edges were jagged in the headset. When the eyes go to the runtime's
swapchain, an FXAA draw now replaces the plain copy. It samples the eye
directly, and re-encodes for sRGB swapchains so the guest's bytes round-trip
exactly. Anything it cannot set up falls back to the copy.
vr.anti_aliasing (fxaa, the default, or off) controls it. The SPIR-V is
generated from shaders/vr by scripts/generate_vr_shaders.py and checked in,
so builds need no shader compiler; a test checks it against the sources when
glslc is installed.
On a Quest 2 through SteamVR at 90 Hz (2244x2352 per eye) frame times did not
change. Captured output keeps 97 to 98 percent of pixels byte-identical and
the average brightness unchanged, and smooths the edges.
The Android client drops HapticService:SetMotor on the Gamepad1 LeftHand and
RightHand motors: its haptics backend only consumes Large and Small. VR games
such as VR Hands drive those motors, so they never vibrated.
- Interpose HapticService::SetMotor through its reflection descriptor, call
the original, and forward Gamepad1 LeftHand/RightHand to OpenXR. The
descriptor and the engine's intensity reader are found by pattern at load,
for both the 2998 (tuple span) and 3222 (shared tuple) reader ABIs. The held
level renews a 50 ms lease every presented frame.
- Report the hand motors at x = -1/+1 in GetMotors. Positional HapticEffects
aim at a hand there with a 0.5 radius (VOXEL DESTRUCT 2 does), so at +-0.2
every effect mixed to zero.
- Play SetMotorState buffers sample by sample with trailing silence trimmed.
Roblox sends 100 x 25 ms look-ahead buffers; taking the peak for the whole
buffer turned a short bump into 2.5 s at full strength.
- Stop vibrating from the DebugDeviceVR haptic slot. The engine pulls it every
frame but with each mix buffer's first sample, held about a second, so it
duplicated the buffers as a long buzz.
- Enable SupportGenericHapticsOnVR and FixRegisterMotors with the other haptic
flags.
New intro and feature list in the README and the site. The site gets a title with Roblox, link preview tags, structured data, a sitemap, robots.txt, a preview image and the Search Console tag. Screenshots are retaken, the old lobby shot is removed and the store listing points at the new ones.
Build 3222 moved the hand selector, hand frame and camera HeadScale fields, so the fixed byte patterns found nothing. Match the code shape instead, read the three offsets from it and write them to the output.
Roblox 2.742 moves the process-load constructor behind the JNI singleton
initializer and renames registers in the registry initializer. The deriver
finds each leading constructor by its code, and the loader checks that host
bridges run the checkpoint and JNI singleton constructors and skip the two
wiring entries.
Keep both the CallProtocol and AccountProtocol bridges. Keep our pointer
hold and catalog validation. Re-apply our JNI local-frame counting,
singleton handles, class handle cache, handle-table report and thread
detach release on upstream's split jnivm files.
Enable rollback before the first backup move, preserve originals during incomplete backups, and retain recovery files if restoration fails. Add offline full-importer regression coverage and register it with CTest.
Brings in aarch64 host support (#152, #162, #167), natural scrolling (#163)
and the arm64 CI build job. Packaging, Pages and README keep the Nightcap
x86_64 side; upstream's aarch64 bundles are not published.
The release workflow now builds the three native packages beside the
AppImage and attaches them to the GitHub release with a checksum each.
Nothing is pushed to a distribution repository.
Packages are named nightcap and take their version from the release tag
instead of upstream's project version, so they no longer claim to be
Mocktail 1.0.4. Each variant conflicts with the others because they all own
/usr/bin/mocktail.
The AUR workflow no longer clones or pushes aur.archlinux.org; it refreshes
nightcap-git metadata on demand and uploads it as an artifact. The recipes
move to packaging/aur/nightcap{,-bin,-git}, point at this repository, and
version from the newest release tag.
Texture overrides decode PNG through libpng, which stubs/CMakeLists.txt
already requires. Lists it in the Arch, AUR, and Nix packages, the thin
dependency installer, and the README build instructions.
Records presents, GPU waits, submits, ETC2 decode, and pipeline and shader creation for ui.perfetto.dev. Adds a benchmark guide and a trace summary script.
Takes upstream's AnyLinux dependency rework: the checked-in digest list is
replaced by a name list, and the installer snapshots GitHub asset IDs and
SHA256 digests together at build time, verifying each archive before
installation. This removes the manual hash refresh a998754 had to do.
Keeps Nightcap's FAQ.md over the upstream copy; ours is the same document
with Nightcap paths, RPC on by default, and the Discord play time section.
Keeps TextureManager2 enabled rather than upstream's revert to TM1. Their
mip regression is described on the mobile MipPackStream path, and this fork
already reports real host memory and a PC device profile. Hours of play
show no texture problem, so the workaround is not adopted without evidence
it is needed here.
Rename the desktop entry, metainfo, icons, Flatpak manifest, and SDL app
identity so Nightcap installs side by side with upstream. Build a signed
Flatpak on v* tags, publish the OSTree repo and landing page to GitHub
Pages, and attach the bundle to the release. Release creation tolerates
the AppImage and Flatpak workflows racing on the same tag.
Unset or non-numeric MOCKTAIL_SMALL_TEXTURE_UPSCALE now means 4, so the
upscale applies on every launch path. Drop the variable from the desktop
entry Exec line.
Resolve src/update/host_abi_deriver.cc: keep upstream's FMOD vtable layout
versions and input-method derivation inside the optional output-device
bridge, so a mismatch omits the bridge instead of failing derivation.
