Updating MGL mod made by r58Playz

[boreal harness]

In https://github.com/r58Playz/mglmod the last update made was January 2023. The work that it's based on https://github.com/openglonmetal/MGL has gotten some updates. I was wondering if someone would be able to update the mod with the new changes.

I have no idea if even with the changes it'd be possible for minecraft to launch. If it's not possible then this can be dropped. But if so, would someone be willing to try a hand at updating the mod with the new changes, and possibly update to a newer minecraft version?

I'm aware this is a big ask, and it'd be understandable if no one wanted to.

From what I know something about geometry shaders, and maybe other things prevented it from working

[fickle lagoon]

i doubt this will ever take off

it would, from my understanding, break the big players like sodium, iris, vulkanmod, etc

[boreal harness]

hm, I figured with translating meatl to opengl, things that use opengl calls would just translate. But I'm also not a programmer

[fickle lagoon]

Not without tremendous tomfoolery

Of modifying other mods source code runtime

*If they call the Rendersystem of Minecraft it may work *

But direct OpenGL, you'd need mass asm for that

[pearl thistle]

Sounds like patching lwjgl would be easier

[fickle lagoon]

yep

[fickle lagoon]

mass asm / patching lwjgl would both work

both are not feasible imo

[pearl thistle]

I agree

[fickle lagoon]

also, i aint got no mac

[pearl thistle]

same

gotta ask my school to give me one kek

[fickle lagoon]

even if, i would not know where to start

also the usecase is pretty, slim

[boreal harness]

hmm, so from what I hear, it's impossible or at the very least extremely difficult to attempt

[boreal harness]

Are you saying that if lwjgl was patched more, it'd be possible to make opengl 4.6 work? Or did I misread that

[boreal harness]

nevermind, I think I misread that

[fickle lagoon]

More of

Ugly hack to get it working somehow

Mod compat is still, questionable

[pearl thistle]

Just run mc through angle or something

Better than patching the entire lwjgl

[fickle lagoon]

the hell is angle now

90 degree type shit

Ah well

Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine

[pearl thistle]

It can be used as a translation layer I think

[fickle lagoon]

yea

that would be funny af to make minecraft work with that

[pearl thistle]

Pojav:

[fickle lagoon]

ah well, yea

i am, stoopid

[pearl thistle]

It used to have ANGLE as an option for renderer

[fickle lagoon]

well now i am intriuged

to make a mod for java edition

usecase?

barely one

[pearl thistle]

This is the point of the server, no? To make mods for mcje

[boreal harness]

I thought angle hadnt gotten past opengl 4.1

and that openGL ES was a lesser version of openGL

[fickle lagoon]

even if

i think it would be your best shot to get this working

[chrome hornet]

Me on my way to mass asm lwjgl for a 1% performance boost

[fickle lagoon]

on one platform

[fickle lagoon]

i think that option was always relatively flawed to say the least
