This is not strictly necessary since the main executable should provide
the symbols, but it may increase compatibility with other source ports
and underlinking is never a good idea.
The old whitelist was a leftover from the early days of YQ2. It should
run on most / all architectures, as long SDL supports them. As suggested
by smcv in issue #138 generate the OSTYPE and ARCH defines by the build
system instead of hardcoding it.
Savegame compatibility is provided by bumping the savegame version. Old
savegames are compared against the old OSTYPE and ARCH defined, new ones
against the new defines. This compatibility code should be removed
somewhere in the distant future.
See https://github.com/yquake2/yquake2/issues/71 and Xatrix #4
In ClientThink(), the float value ent->velocity[i]*8 is saved into
a short and if the value is too big for a short, in 32bit gcc builds
the short is set to SHRT_MIN, resulting in the player being pressed
down instead of up.
Now we put the result in a 32bit int first (which should be big enough)
and assign the int to the short. This still overflows, but with -fwrapv
at least in a defined way (most probably the same way the original
binaries did).
The Makefile now sets $CC to gcc for MingW builds, this should fix#3
And while I was at it, when the game lib is loaded, it prints the date
it was built, this is especially interesting for our Win32 binaries.
With this commit 'xatrix' is cleaned up. Every single line was audited,
many bugs removed and hundered of sanity checks added. Additionally the
code was reformated. All in all 'Xatrix' should now be much more
reliable and for the first time in ~15 years completeable without any
crashes, logic bugs or the like. Until now about 130 hours spread over
more than a year were spend for this project.
Of course this code is totaly untested. The next step is testing,
testing and testing. After that the spawn points needs to be fixed
so that all maps can pe started by "map $mapname".
The "actor" entity are player models moving on scripted pathes,
emulating NPC. They were never finished and thus are used in the
game. In theory the functions shouldn't be referenced anywhere
and thaerefor this change shouldn't break existing savegames.
But I'll habe to check if that stands in praxis.
