It turned out this may not be done automatically when opening the savegame - it has to be done later, after the pre-spawned map thinkers and all connected objects have been destroyed.
The object deserializer also has to be rather careful about dealing with parse errors, because if something goes wrong a whole batch of uninitialized or partially initialized objects will be left behind to destroy.
This means that no object class may assume that anything but the default constructor has been run on it and needs to check any variable it may reference.
- converted sound and canvas texture serialization.
- refactored file_zip, so that it can be used to load loose zip files and extract their compressed data directly.
- added handling to FSerializer to generate and consume compressed Zip file entries.
If all goes well this will allow saving savegames as Zips when the rework is done, which will make analyzing them a lot easier.
- fixed a few errors in the ACS module serializer.
- reordered a few things to how they were in the old code.
- optimized serialization of the level.Scrolls array to happen within the sector. This is to allow skipping 0-entries which normally constitute the vast majority of them.
- added sanity checks to prevent a savegame from being loaded with an incompatible map
- refactored a few things to simplify serialization.
- started work on main level serializer function.
Note that even with this change it is still not possible to unarchive any thinker pointers before the thinker list has been loaded as it would create broken lists.
Since decals may have thinkers attached this will crash when such a savegame gets loaded, because the thinker lists get reset in P_SerializeThinkers, deleting any thinker that already was processed.
I also added an error message that immediately aborts the save process if such an out-of-sequence thinker is attempted to be written out.
This obviously breaks savegame compatibility again...
- fixed: Visplane checks should only compare the plane flags that are relevant for rendering and mask out the rest.
- floatified FTransform and made the visplane checks a bit less verbose by moving the comparison as an operator into FTransform.
Note that this operator needs forceinline on Visual Studio so that it won't get called as a function.
Note that this required splitting P_SerializeWorld, because sector_t and FSectorPortal contain some actor pointers, for which the same rule applies: Portal linking can only be done after all sectors have been read, meaning it cannot be done along with the rest of the data in these structures.
Obviously such a change breaks savegame compatibility so the min. savegame version had to be increased again.
The old code kept the dead thinker, resulting in constant deletion and recreation of the subsector links and PolyBSP because the interpolation kept running.
Changed it so that the thinker is destroyed and the polyobject gets blocked by setting a new flag.
- some consolidation in p_map.cpp. PIT_CheckLine and PIT_FindFloorCeiling had quite a bit of redundancy which has been merged.
- čontinued work on FMultiBlockLinesIterator. It's still not completely finished.
This was to resolve some circular dependencies with the portal code.
The most notable changees:
* FTextureID was moved from textures.h to doomtype.h because it is frequently needed in files that don't want to do anything with actual textures.
* split off the parts from p_maputl into a separate header.
* consolidated all blockmap related data into p_blockmap.h
* split off the polyobject parts into po_man.h
- store portal data in a separate structure.
- store portal data in savegames because some of this will be changeable later.
- run a cleanup pass after all portals have been created to weed out broken ones.
- add a definition type that's compatible with Eternity Engine's line portal types.
- swapped arg[2] and arg[3] of Line_SetPortal, because the type is more significant than the alignment.
'ceilingterrain' is needed because the top of 3D-floors refers to the model sector's ceiling, so in order to give a 3D floor a terrain it must be assignable to the sector's ceiling.
Note that although it is basically the same property, its actual function bears no relevance to its use in Eternity.
- moved sector secret information from sector_t::special and secretsector to two flag bits in sector_t::Flags.
This is to get rid of the bit masking madness in the floor/ceiling thinkers which need to preserve this bit when they change a sector's type.
Tags are now handled by a tag manager class which stores sector/tag pairs. This way multiple entries can be added per sector.
Since UDMF does not have any arrays the additional tags are stored as a space separated string as 'MoreIDs'.
for bots. Mainly, what this means is that if the player is using the "Base" skin, they will
get their class-appropriate skin instead of skin 0 if this save is loaded before any other
game has started.

- added DECORATE properties for accuracy and stamina.
- Since these changes move properties from player_t to AActor all savegame compatibility code was removed and the min. savegame version bumped.
SVN r3427 (trunk)
(i.e. ACS_Execute, etc.), set the arg0str property to the name of the script to execute. The
standard numeric arg0 property will be ignored in this case.
SVN r3372 (trunk)
* savegames stored an index in the switch table and performed no validation when loading a savegame.
* setting of a random switch animation duration was broken.
* separated the 2 values stored in the Time variable into 2 separate variables.
* defining a switch with one texture already belonging to another switch could leave broken definitions in the switch table.
- added function for serializing switch and door animation pointers.
- bumped min. savegame versions due to changes to DButtonThinker and removed all current savegame compatibility code.
SVN r3030 (trunk)
the sector. Note that this contrasts with sound sequence things in that it takes a name and
not a number. Also, placing a sound sequence thing in a sector will override this property.
SVN r2492 (trunk)
player does not immediately activate switches. oldbuttons was not usable
for this. This also required that CopyPlayer preserves this info.
- Fixed: When restarting the music there was a NULL pointer check missing
so it crashed when the game was started wi
- Fixed: If the Use key is used to respawn the player it must be cleared
so that it doesn't trigger any subsequent actions after respawning.
- Fixed: Resurrecting a monster did not restore flags5 and flags6.
- Fixed: Projectiles which killed a non-monster were unable to determine
what precisely they hit because MF_CORPSE is only valid for monsters.
A new flag, MF6_KILLED that gets set for all objects that die, was added
for this case.
- Added a generic A_Weave function that exposes all possible options of
A_BishopMissileWeave and A_CStaffMissileSlither. These 2 functions are
no longer needed from DECORATE and therefore deprecated.
SVN r2045 (trunk)
The range checks this protected against can be safely omitted now that the misc fields are large enough.
- added MBF Dehacked emulation.
SVN r1824 (trunk)
that were changed some time ago.
- fixed: The damage inflictor for a rail attack was the shooter, not the puff.
- Fixed: Floor and ceiling huggers may not change their z-velocity when seeking.
- Fixed: UDMF set the secret sector flag before parsing the sector's properties,
resulting in it always being false.
- Renamed sector's oldspecial variable to secretsector to better reflect its
only use.
- Fixed: A_BrainSpit stored as the SpawnShot's target the intended BossTarget,
not itself contrarily to other projectile spawning functions.
A_SpawnFly then used the target for CopyFriendliness, thinking it'll be the
BossEye when in fact it wasn't.
- Added Gez's submission for a DEHACKED hack introduced by Boom.
(using code pointers of the form 'Pointer 0 (x statenumber)'.
- fixed: Attaching 3DMidtex lines by sector tag did not work because lines
were marked by index in the sector's line list but needed to be marked by
line index in the global array.
- fixed: On Linux ZDoom was creating a directory called "~.zdoom" for
save files because of a missing slash.
- fixed: UDMF was unable to read floating point values in exponential format
because the C Mode scanner was missing a definition for them.
- fixed: The recent changes for removing pointer aliasing got the end sequence
info from an incorrect variable. To make this more robust the sequence index
is now stored as a hexadecimal string to avoid storing binary data in a string.
Also moved end sequence lookup from f_finale.cpp to the calling code so that
the proper end sequences can be retrieved for secret exits, too.
SVN r1777 (trunk)
* scalex_top
* scaley_top
* scalex_mid
* scaley_mid
* scalex_bottom
* scalex_bottom
- Added sidedef versions of the linedef flags wrapmidtex and clipmidtex (via
UDMF; names are the same). If the flag is set on the line, it applies to
both sides. Otherwise, each side can control them individually.
SVN r1645 (trunk)
- Removed #pragma warnings from cmdlib.h and fixed the places where they were
still triggered.
These #pragmas were responsible for >90% of the GCC warnings that were not
listed in VC++.
- Fixed one bug in the process: DSeqNode::m_Atten was never adjusted when the
parameter handling of the sound functions for attenuation was changed.
Changed m_Atten to a float and fixed the SNDSEQ parser to set proper values.
Also added the option to specify attenuation with direct values in addition
to the predefined names.
SVN r1583 (trunk)
- Added support for ACS functions that can be defined without recompiling ACC.
- Fixed: The short lump name for embedded files must be cleared so that they
are not found by a normal lump search.
- Added AProp_Notarget actor property.
- Fixed: TraceBleed was missing a NULL pointer check,
- Fixed: P_RandomChaseDir could crash for friendly monsters that belong to
a player which left the game.
- Changed A_PodGrow so that it plays the generator's attack sound instead of
"misc/podgrow".
SVN r1575 (trunk)
- fixed: The nextmap and nextsecret CCMDs need to call G_DeferedInitNew instead of G_InitNew.
- merged MAPINFO branch back into trunk.
SVN r1393 (trunk)
so that all files are included by a central one instead of compiling
each one separately. This speeds up the compilation process by 25%
when doing a complete rebuild in Visual C.
- Cleaned up more header dependencies.
SVN r1226 (trunk)
in a level.
- Fixed: Serialized player data must always be loaded, even if it's simply to
be discarded, so that anything serialized after the players will load from
the correct position in the file when revisiting a hub map.
