There were lots of places in the code that called Sys_GrabInput(),
some of them each frame.
Most of this is unified in events.cpp now, in handleMouseGrab() which
is called once per frame by Sys_GenerateEvents() - this makes reasoning
about when the mouse is grabbed and when not a lot easier.
Sys_GrabInput(false) still is called in a few places, before operations
that tend to take long (like loading a map or vid_restart), but
(hopefully) not regularly anymore.
The other big change is that the game now uses SDLs absolute mouse mode
for fullscreen menus (except the PDA which is an ugly hack), so the
ingame cursor is at the same position as the system cursor, which
especially helps when debugging with `in_nograb 1` and should also help
if someone wants to integrate an additional GUI toolkit like Dear ImGui.
Now the game cycles between QuickSave, QuickSave2, QuickSave3, ...
(up to com_numQuicksaves files, 4 by default, up to 99), always
replacing the oldest.
Quick-loading always loads the newest quicksave, but all quicksaves
can be loaded via the load game menu.
"Fix "t->c->value.argSize == func->parmTotal" Assertion in Scripts, #303"
had broken old savegames because the script checksum
(idProgram::CalculateChecksum()) changed, see #344.
This is fixed now, also the BUILD_NUMBER is increased so old savegames
can be identified for a workaround.
Don't use this commit without the next one which will further modify the
savegame format (for the new BUILD_NUMBER 1305)
idSessionLocal::SaveGame() uses saveName for both the description in
savegames/bla.txt and the filename itself ("bla" in this case), which
is a "scrubbed" version of that string ("file extension" removed,
problematic chars replaced with '_').
In case of Autosaves, MoveToNewMap() passes a translated name of the
map as saveName, which makes sense for the description, but not so much
for the filename.
In Spanish the Alpha Labs names are like "LAB. ALFA 1", "LAB. ALFA 2" ..
and everything after "LAB" is cut off as a file extension - so every
autosave of an Alpha Labs part overwrites the last one, as they all get
the same name...
The solution is to pass an additional (optional) argument saveFileName
to idSessionLocal::SaveGame(), and for autosaves pass the mapname
(which is the filename without .map; yes, it might contain slashes,
but the scrubber will turn them into _) instead of the translated name
as saveFileName.
For some reason sounds were only updated/started about every 100ms,
which could lead to delays of up to around 100ms after a sound gets
started (with idSoundEmitterLocal::StartSound()) until OpenAL is finally
told to play the sound.
Also, the actual delay drifted over time between 1ms and 100ms, as the
sound ticks weren't a fixed multiple of the (16ms) gameticks - and the
sound updates didn't even happen at the regular 92-94ms intervals they
should because they run in the async thread which only updates every
16ms...
Because of this, the machine gun and other rapid firing weapons sounded
like they shot in bursts or left out shots occasionally, even though
they don't.
Anyway, now sound is updated every 16ms in the async thread so delays
are <= 16ms and hopefully less noticeable.
You can still get the old behavior with com_asyncSound 2 if you want.
OpenAL devices can disconnect, and with some luck they're back after
a few seconds. This especially seems to happen with Intels Windows GPU
driver and display-audio when switching the resolution or enabling
fullscreen, see #209
Now a disconnect is detected and we try to reset the device for 20
seconds, hoping it comes back. This needs at least openal-soft 1.17.0
to build and 1.20.0 or newer to actually work.
Also added missing stub functions in openal_stub.cpp (used by dedicated
server so it doesn't have to link libopenal)
Changing idSession would break the interface for Game DLLs, making the
existing ports of Mods incompatible.
Luckily we have idCommon::GetAdditionalFunction() for cases like this..
Also added a check for WEAPON_NETFIRING in idWeapon::EnterCinematic(),
I got an Assert() there in Debug builds.
Running the Demo seems to work now, at least I could finish it without
any problems (ignoring some warnings in the console)
When ingame, Shift-Esc would open the menu and another Shift-Esc the
console. Now it immediately opens the console and only Esc without
Shift opens the menu.
When one tries to quit the game (via quit in console) while a timedemo
is running, the game freezes indefinitely while displaying the timedemo
results.
This happens because the MessageBox used for that waits for a an event
normally triggered by a timer - but it seems like that does not happen
anymore during Shutdown()
The fix makes sure that this message box isn't displayed.
Split fs_savepath for config files. This is in preparation for
moving the writable paths on *nix to $XDG_DATA_HOME and
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
Affected files: config.spec, *.cfg, doomkey, xpkey.
Don't include the lazy precompiled.h everywhere, only what's
required for the compilation unit.
platform.h needs to be included instead to provide all essential
defines and types.
All includes use the relative path to the neo or the game
specific root.
Move all idlib related includes from idlib/Lib.h to precompiled.h.
precompiled.h still exists for the MFC stuff in tools/.
Add some missing header guards.
