GL4ES: HOLY EDITION

GL4ES: HOLY EDITION 🌠

Ladies and gentlemen, entities of the internet, TODAY we are here to celebrate the arrival of the one and only: GL4ES - HOLY EDITION !
"Why ?" I hear you ask ? Simple my child, simple really.

Native 1.17+ support

Turns out that I could just apply some of my shader convertion tricks, such as:

• Avoid scalar type implicit conversion by making everything a float 🔫
• Add "%" operator support, by "just" getting both operands and making them go through a function
• Wrapping some functions and layout binding logic

Yes, this does require opengles 3.0 + to properly work. Older devices, if they can stomach those versions at all, will still require the patch.

1.7.10 crash fix

Oh yeah, remember this issue from v3.3.1.1 ?
Thanks to the blessing of this 👼holy👼 version, the crashing is no more.
Also it was due to an issue with testing the sizeof() an int instead of a byte

Older versions QoL

Since older versions fare much better with openGL 1 (avoids crashes and "halved lighting" issues), some auto detection is added into the launcher to select the appropriate opengl version for you.
Note: I'm aware that some modded old versions cannot be detected.

Miscenalleous

Less impressive changes, although noteworthy ones are:

• The profile migrator now avoid useless migrations, and takes into account the older vulkan based renderer
• Some devices were improperly reporting the display size, causing a control offset and slightly distorting minecraft, this has been fixed.
• Sometimes, the remove notch option was available despite the device being notchless.
• The CI is updated to avoid the gplay part being executed when a PR is made, to avoid the integration failing
• The CI is updated to use the latest gl4es 🌠HOLY👼 edition instead
• The CI is updated not to use vgpu ever again.
• Removed the experimental fuckuries, there are kinda useless now.
• Hey, the build size has been trimmed as a result of less renderers !

[CriticalRange]

Holy moly macaroni

[kuzy21]

HOLLY I SAY HOLYYYYYY THE GODSSSS HAVVEVEVEV BLESSSS USSSSS SEE

[offbeat-stuff]

Does it mean performace improvements on gles 3.0

[TWTommyee]

Oh mai gawd

[CriticalRange]

It's broken guys

I don't see any problem, maybe related to your device ?

[offbeat-stuff]

vanilla works but it does not to convert other shaders like from sodium

[offbeat-stuff]

It's broken guys

You need opengles 3.0 to run the game perfectly

[WesleyVanNeck]

use optifine optifine works

[WesleyVanNeck]

It's broken guys

You need opengles 3.0 to run the game perfectly

not really because optifine runs

[offbeat-stuff]

You need opengles 3.0 to run the game perfectly

It is written in the pr description that you need opengles 3.2 to run the game perfectly otherwise you need the assets-v0 file

yes most phones have opengl es 3.2

[offbeat-stuff]

but not every phone has gles 3.2

[offbeat-stuff]

So would there be support for converting shaders loaded by sodium??

[TWTommyee]

Why you must use sodium? There's other excellent fabric optimization mods too, also even optifabtic works now

[offbeat-stuff]

Bro nothing comes close to what sodium does

[offbeat-stuff]

And sodium is the only rendering optimization mod on fabric, optifine is bloat.

[TWTommyee]

Starlight, entityculling, lithium, better fps mod and more, not only sodium

[offbeat-stuff]

they optimize game logic not the rendering

[offbeat-stuff]

I changed sodium shaders but it seems to get cut off after some code leading to ";" token expected error

[offbeat-stuff]

latestlog.txt
Here is the log with the shader included

[offbeat-stuff]

I tried vanilla shader code, simple glShaderSource,
and the normal sodium
same error
tried to delete comments remove lines it just changed the line number of the error
