Removed deferred divide from both ray-tri functions -- the det-scaled
epsilon comparisons lose precision for near-parallel rays, potentially
accepting triangles the original rejects. Downstream SetupBoxFrustum
then writes to wrong globals near 0xCE6738 (SGroupPtr), causing
ERROR #124 on exit.
inflate_hook: replaced manual FS:0x24 thread ID pool with Zig native
threadlocal. Fixes potential crash on Wine where FS segment layout
may differ.
Build: switched from GNU to MSVC ABI (4-5K smaller per DLL, no
.eh_frame unwind tables). Added setjmp.h stub for libdeflate MSVC
build. Added noperf build variant (zig build noperf).
GUID lookup cache: 4096-entry direct-mapped with proper invalidation.
MoveObjectToDeletedList (0x464920) hook evicts entries AFTER the
original runs (prevents re-caching from internal FindObjectByGUID call).
DestroyObjectManager (0x467700) hook flushes on zone change/logout.
93% hit rate, 1.15x speedup on FindObjectByGUID (10K+ calls/frame).
Glyph shadow cache removed: game has internal glyph cache at
GetOrCreateCharacterGlyph (0x5CA2D0). Our hook only saw cache misses
(~30/frame), providing no benefit. The 3.65% perf profile was the
game's own hash table work, not redundant computation.
Standalone guidcache module for isolated testing.
FindObjectByGUID (0x464890): 4096-entry direct-mapped cache with
validate-on-hit. 97% hit rate at 10K+ calls/frame, reducing from
0.8% to 0.3% frame time. Validates cached pointers by checking
GUID at obj+0x30/+0x34 on every hit.
AddToSpatialGrid (0x6816F0): SSE rewrite attempted, no measurable
gain (memory-bound linked list ops dominate). Not shipped.
rayTriIntersectIndexedInt (0x7C2C40): SSE Moller-Trumbore with deferred
divide, matching original's epsilon thresholds. Parity-tested against
original for edge hits, backfaces, parallel rays, and per-triangle t/uv.
JMP-patched in weirdperformance.
Added transform44 profiling hooks for ray_tri_indexed_int (0x7C2C40)
and ProcessStaticObjectsCulling (0x683BF0).
Bench: added rayTriIndexedInt bench with exhaustive parity tests.
PerformSpatialCulling (0x6B8C60): Zig rewrite with SSE outcode
computation. 1.4x speedup, JMP-patched in weirdperformance.
performCollisionDetection (0x6B88E0): fully inlined SSE Moller-Trumbore
ray-triangle intersection, eliminating 4 SetVector3 calls and the
ray_tri function pointer call per triangle. ~22 cyc/tri in bench.
Both graduated from transform44 A/B testing to production JMP patches.
entity_sse.zig: reimplementations of UpdateEntityAndChunksPositions and
updateEntitiesInBounds (A/B tested, 1.2x bench, not shipped - memory
bound with negligible real-world gain).
clickthrough: fixed CheckObjectTypePermissions hook from fastcall to
thiscall (ECX preservation), fixed ClntObjMgrObjectPtr from fastcall(4)
to fastcall(5) with correct arg count.
bench: added performCollisionDetection bench with synthetic mesh data
and patched FindOrCreateHashEntry stub.
Tail vertices V0/V1 read texture U/V from wrong addresses (no offset
from base instead of +8/+16 stride). Assembly reads 0x87D734/738 for
V0 and 0x87D73C/740 for V1, not the base 0x87D72C/730. This made both
base vertices share UVs, collapsing the texture and causing light beams
to taper to a point instead of maintaining width.
Also fix transformVec4 input: must be [4]f32 with w=0.0, not [3]f32.
The function reads all 4 components including [EDX+0xC]. Reading past
a 3-element array produced garbage w values that corrupted the velocity
transform, causing tail particles to extend wildly.
Fixed in both SSE and reference implementations.
Move fileFindDetour from main.zig into filecache.zig with its own
install/remove. Remove file_cache import and all references from
main.zig. Rename module to weirdperformance throughout (build flag,
module_name, source file, main.zig variable).
