Both, there are some common code (the one I want to optimize) and some specific code (that I don't plan to touch for now).

Hi all 
@kuru : thanks for the heads-up !
@ptitSeb : according to TurningWheel's GitHub, version 2.0.7 is out :
https://github.com/TurningWheel/Barony
Could you please give this new version a go ? Is there a remote possibility GCC 7.2 + a newer GL4ES library could produce a faster gameplay ?
And last but not least, did you try to port Barony to the Pyra yet ?
Cheers, Magic Sam

About Pyra, remember that there is no 3D Driver yet...

Doesn't software rendering work really well on Pyra though? I remember that video of reicast working without 3D drivers.

That video was *with* 3D Driver, on an (much) older OS revision (and on a dev board, not on the Pyra itselft with TILER to handle the rotation of the Image).

Oh! I wasn't aware that was with acceleration.

The new build of Barony is on the Repo. I removed link to the beta version, as it has been superseded by this new release.
Please note that you need data from the full 2.0.7 game. If updating from a previous version and expect the use the autoextracter of GoG file, I suggest your remove your current appdata/barony/game folder (I'm not sure the update does work).
You can use GLES2 backend of gl4es by creating a file name ".es" in appdata/barony that contain "2" (without the quotes), but Barony doesn't use shaders, so that will not change much the rendering or the speed.

Hi all,
@ptitSeb : Barony just crashed on me (level 4). The game was pretty slow at that moment (~6 FPS):
I'll try to upload my saved game ASAP.

Cheers, Magic Sam
[doublepost=1518869094][/doublepost]@ptitSeb : and I'm attaching two recent saved games to this post, I hope it'll help you reproduce this issue.

Unfortunatly, that stack dump is useless (contains only "segfault_sigaction(int, siginfo*, void*)", so the segfault handler...).
I'll try later to use your save to reproduce the crash...

Ok, I reproduce it too. The backtrace is corrupted, that will be tricky

No, it's not your fault, it's the way it crashes (in the middle of the heavily asm-optimized memcpy). I'm building gdb 8.1 now, to see if it can help (I don't think it will, but I wanted to upgrade anyway).@ptitSeb : sorry about the corrupted backtrace

I haven't given up on finding the issue here, but for now, I'm still with no lead...
I know it's something happening in the GLES driver. I get the same info (it's a memcpy inside GLES driver, nothing more) where I use GLES1 or GLES2 backend from gl4es. I don't even know if it's a drawing command or something else. Also, running with valgrind didn't gave much info (but it did show me a place on the OpenAL code where I do a memcpy and should have used a memmove).
I'll try reproducing with some other SGX driver, maybe that will show something. I also have to try on something else than the Pandora (unless it's specific code, but then, I can also remove those graphic optim and check if it reproduce).
Still some work to fix that bug...
[doublepost=1519489850,1519483887][/doublepost]Ah, using SGX driver 4.03.02 and GLES1, I got a real stacktrace using Valgrind!
At least something a bit more precise to work on... (and yes, it's specific Pandora optimization code I wrote, to batch stuff )
[doublepost=1519494411][/doublepost]Ok, found the bug (stupid mistake of course). New version updated to the repo.

Update release on the repo. Using new source from the Blessed Edition.
If you are updating from Cursed Edition, you will probably need to update the data, the Blessed executable will not run with Cursed data. If you want to use autoexaction, simply delete appdata/barony/game folder and copy the latest gog installer (windows or linux)

Hi all !
@ptitSeb : thanks for updating your package, this is as always really appreciated
Some quick impressions:
- the game still needs a swap file no matter which Pandora you have
- loading models takes a long time (several minutes), CPU usage is at 100%
- default keymap is "weird" to say the least: move forward and lookup are mapped on the same key for example...
- performance in-game is rather good on my Rebirth OC'ed @ 1GHz
- appdata/barony/barony.txt could use an update
Cheers, Magic Sam

Well, no miracle here, each version has more and more data...
Ah yes, that, I'll update the PND with a version where Model Cache is enabled (so loading is much faster after the 1st launch)...
Mmmm, I had changed that in the code, did I forgot something, I'll recheck
Yep, it's pretty good performance-wize, and it's a current game
Ah yes, forgot that one (and the dialog box when no data is present).- appdata/barony/barony.txt could use an update
