And other related fields so integer is now int (and uinteger is uint). I
really don't know why I went with integer in the first place, but this
will make using macros easier for dealing with types.
I don't know why they were ever signed (oversight at id and just
propagated?). Anyway, this resulted in "unsigned" spreading a bit, but
all to reasonable places.
This has been a long-held wishlist item, really, and I thought I might
as well take the opportunity to add the instructions. The double
versions of STATE require both the nextthink field and time global to be
double (but they're not resolved properly yet: marked with
"FIXME double time" comments).
Also, the frame number for double time state is integer rather than
float.
And partial implementations in qfcc (most places will generate an
internal error (not implemented) or segfault, but some low-hanging fruit
has already been implemented).
The server edict arrays are now stored outside of progs memory, only the
entity data itself (ie data accessible to progs via ent.fld) is stored in
progs memory. Many of the changes were due to code accessing edicts and
entity fields directly rather than through the provided macros.
There's still some cleanup to do, but everything seems to be working
nicely: `make -j` works, `make distcheck` passes. There is probably
plenty of bitrot in the package directories (RPM, debian), though.
The vc project files have been removed since those versions are way out
of date and quakeforge is pretty much dependent on gcc now anyway.
Most of the old Makefile.am files are now Makemodule.am. This should
allow for new Makefile.am files that allow local building (to be added
on an as-needed bases). The current remaining Makefile.am files are for
standalone sub-projects.a
The installable bins are currently built in the top-level build
directory. This may change if the clutter gets to be too much.
While this does make a noticeable difference in build times, the main
reason for the switch was to take care of the growing dependency issues:
now it's possible to build tools for code generation (eg, using qfcc and
ruamoko programs for code-gen).
Only as scalars, I still need to think about what to do for vectors and
quaternions due to param size issues. Also, doubles are not yet
guaranteed to be correctly aligned.
I've decided that setting pr.max_edicts and pr.zone_size as part of the
local progs initialization rather than in PR_LoadProgsFile makes more
sense. For one, it is unlikely for the limits to change every time progs is
reloaded. Also, they seem to be a property of the VM rather than the progs.
However, there is nothing stopping the caller from updating max_edicts and
zone_size every call.
Since we clip the world properly even with skyboxes active, and the
'skybox' serverinfo doesn't do anything in any other engine I know of,
nuke the 'skybox' serverinfo entirely and use a nice short semi-standard
name ("sky") for the serverinfo containing the map's preferred skybox
(as potentially modified by the .ent file on the server).
This ensures that the map's sky is always used unless the client itself has
set its r_skyname cvar. The server's r_skyname cvar is now the default
name for the skybox for when the map does not specify one. The map's sky
worldspawn field overrides this. The r_skyname cvar is no longer a
serverinfo cvar.
