Defining "qboolean" to something other than an enum changes the size of
some structs. That in turn breaks compatiblity with mods that use the
enum define. With this change the addons (tested with xatrix and rogue)
are running on OS X. Many thanks to my sister for lending me her
Macbook.
These are the code changes and Makefile changes necessary to build and
run Yamagi Quake II on Max OS X. OS X 10.6 or higher is required, older
version may work but we cannot guarantee it. The documentation will be
added in another commit. This patch was contributed by W. Beser, I made
only some small cosmetical changes.
To archive this, 3 new functions Sys_GetProcAddress(), Sys_LoadLibrary()
and Sys_FreeLibrary() were added to abstract the library loading code
into a platform independend API.
Using a float number as version number is a bad idea. Correct this long
standing problem by changing it to a string. If we ever want to compare
version numbers, 2 integer constants "MAJOR_VERSION" and "MINOR_VERSION"
should be added.
This update brings some minor bugfixes, especially for big endian
platforms and LLP64 systems like 64 bit Windows. The support for
encrypted ZIP archives was removed. This is a no-op change, since
there was no way to pass the password to uncrypt. Without the
uncrypt code Yamagi Quake II can be distributed in some countries
with special laws for cryptographic software. The LICENSE was
updated to the most recent version of the INFO-ZIP license.
This changes employs a horrible hack to connect the ASCII Quake II to
the UTF-16 WinAPI. The path to "My Documentes" is read in UTF-16, then
converted to a old "DOS style path" with 8.3 characters. This DOS path
has by convention no UTF-16 characters in it and can be converted into
a normal ASCII string. This ASCII string is the path used by Yamagi
Quake II. The conversion logic will fail if the "Windows to DOS
filename transistion" is deactivated in the registry (it's on by
default). In that case no homedir is used and the "Windows Roaming
Mechanism" kicks in.
This is necessary due to the extrem long homedir-pathes in some Windows
localizations. While it would be nice to have the same value on all
platform it would break existing savegames and don't think that it's
worth that.
With this change the homedir is no longer selected in the filesystem,
but in platform dependend functions. This allows us to use WINABI calls
for selection, resulting using the apropriate diretory on localized
versions of Windows XP.
Under Windows all config data is written to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\
Local\YamagiQ2. To archive this code was added that translates Windows
pathes with backslashes into Unix pathes with normal slashes.
