Lenticular Float32 1.2b BETA

Dynamic lighting shaders by jjwalker - Version 1.2 Beta rev. F3 - Released 12/17/2020

1.2 Beta is a total rewrite from previous versions, should be compatible with all hardware. I am now passing the lightmaps through the dynamic lighting instead of adding the dynamic lighting to the lightmaps. I have also added Normal mapping (not to be confused with bump mapping). See notes in source code for more information!

1.2 Beta rev. F3 Changes:
- We are now at OpenGL version 3.3! Compiled with 0 errors, 0 warnings. I plan to stay at 3.3 as to not exclude older hardware and this version should fit any future needs I have.
- Optimized a couple of other things. I am starting the process of converting Divide operations to Multiply/Multiply Add where floating point rounding error is of no consequence. MUL and MAD instructions can execute up to 6X faster in some cases (it is hardware dependent but always faster). Unit Vectors will be left alone where rounding errors are unacceptable and full 32bit precision is needed.
- No longer sharing variables aross multiple conditionals. Since we now have code branching, conditionals can now save us resources instead of waste them!
- Added lot's of comments and full explanations of just about how every piece of code works and why I do this or that. If you are interested in GLSL or C language based variants, take a look at the source code.

I will continue to optimize and refine along with starting to work on some improvements, in the mean time PLEASE if something weird happens or if something doesn't
look right, please leave me a comment! Your graphics card manufacturers driver compiles this code at runtime based on what hardware you have, so just because
it works on my Nvidia GTX960 doesn't mean it will be bug free on yours.

1.2 Beta rev. F2 Changes:
- Removed a couple of unused but declared variables that will cause errors in a dumb compiler (Intel Integrated Graphics specifically).
- Began removing functions deprecated in OpenGL 3.0
- Optimized a few lines of code that 100% assuredly working - Saves about 4,000 GPU cycles per frame (if Super Sampled) and half that without SSAA

1.2 Beta rev. F1 Changes:
- Fixed lightmap.vs(0x56) attenuation variable error (implicit vec2 to float). Was not a visible error but the compiler caught it.

1.2 Beta rev. E Changes:

- Shadows are now completely fixed!
- Base game runs OpenGL 2.0 compatibility mode, I have updated it to OpenGL 3.0 Core
- The performance improvement by updating OpenGL is substantial
- Fixed Z fighting - if an object still exhibits this behavior on a prior save, re-position the object and It'll fix it.
- New prisons shouldn't exhibit this behavior any longer.

The difference is rather extreme because now we are running as many operations as we currently can on the GPU as opposed to the CPU. Subscribe, I promise you'll fall out of your chair.

Upcoming Features:
- rewriting large portions of the code to allow yet further OpenGL upgrade compatibility. This should raise performance even further as we are now taking advantage of built in GPU hardware acceleration instead of the CPU trying emulate 12yr. old legacy code that is no longer native on modern hardware. Going to OpenGL Core 3.0 already makes an extreme difference.

I promise, subscribe and fix your game. I almost fainted when I realized the performance increase!
