some other application already has it. While technically this is a failure, the device is
still created, so we can continue using it anyway.

swap between them each frame. The one that's not the TempRenderTexture is used
as the FrontCopySurface without the need for a copy operation. This removes the
performance penalty the previous commit introduced for these modes.
SVN r2014 (trunk)
properly in letterboxed modes.
- Added another surface to receive a copy of the top back buffer immediately
before it is presented. This effectively produces a copy of the front
buffer without the performance penalty of GetFrontBufferData, so fullscreen
wipe preparation and screenshots are faster now. At lower resolutions,
always copying the backbuffer does incur a slight FPS hit, but it's
practically free at higher resolutions.
SVN r2013 (trunk)
assumed that since the wipes only run at 35 FPS, the time spent DMA'ing
it from system to video memory would be acceptable. Apparently I was wrong.
In particular, updating the same surface several times probably has to
synchronize between each one, making melt particularly slower than it
needs to be.

unsigned integer that can use all 32 bits. They must therefore use
the unsigned mul instruction rather than the signed imul instruction.
- Fixed several signed/unsigned comparison and possibly uninitialized
variable warnings flagged by GCC.

player sprites will retain the same precision they had when they were
rendered as part of the 3D view. (needed for propery alignment of flashes
on top of weapon sprites) It worked just fine for D3D, but software
rendering was another matter. I consequently did battle with imprecisions
in the whole masked texture drawing routines that had previously been
partially masked by only drawing on whole pixel boundaries. Particularly,
the tops of posts are calculated by multiplying by spryscale, and the
texture mapping coordinates are calculated by multiplying by dc_iscale
(where dc_iscale = 1 / spryscale). Since these are both 16.16 fixed point
values, there is a significant variance. For best results, the drawing
routines should only use one of these values, but that would mean
introducing division into the inner loop. If the division removed the
necessity for the fudge code in R_DrawMaskedColumn(), would it be worth it?
Or would the divide be slower than the fudging? Or would I be better off
doing it like Build and using transparent pixel checks instead, not
bothering with skipping transparent areas? For now, I chop off the
fractional part of the top coordinate for software drawing, since it was
the easiest thing to do (even if it wasn't the most correct thing to do).
SVN r1955 (trunk)
at just fixing it at a specific value, since the supply of SM14 cards isn't
all that diverse and all from ATI, but apparently Radeon 8500s and 9000s
have different precision levels in their pixel shaders. See bug report
<http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?p=444523>
- Removed unused variables FBFormat and PalFormat.

Mobility Radeon 9000 (on a PCI card, no less!), I have decided to give the
PS14 support some loving: D3D windowed gamma now works on these cards using
a texture lookup for the gamma table. Sadly, this halves my framerate, so
setting gamma to 1 will skip the gamma correction, as it was before, for
full speed. (On my 8800 GT, the gamma correction was free.)
SVN r1898 (trunk)
surfaces are alternately locked for read-only access each frame, forcing
the driver to stop buffering more than one frame at a time. The input lag
on my system doesn't seem to be as bad as it once was (I can no longer
see it obviously with my naked eye), but turning antilag on "feels"
slightly more responsive. The cvar d3d_antilag turns this technique on and
off. See <http://www.xyzw.de/c120.html> for more details.

which could cause crashes.
- Added custom special colormaps to DECORATE.
- Cleaned up special colormap code and removed lots of dependencies on the
knowledge of the tables' contents.
SVN r1860 (trunk)
completely ignore them, either).
- Separated light level fixing out of player_t's fixedcolormap parameter.
Using a fixed light level (e.g. PowerTorch) will no longer wipe out
colored lighting.
- Moved the blending rectangle drawing into a separate discrete stage, since
doing it while copying the 3D view window to the display now blends
underneath the weapon instead of on top of it.
- Consolidated the special colormaps into a single 2D table.
- Tweaked the special colormaps slightly to make the true color results more
closely match the paletted approximations.
- fb_d3d9_shaders.h was getting unwieldy, so I moved the shaders out of the
executable and into zdoom.pk3. Shaders are still precompiled so I don't need
to pull in a dependancy on D3DX.
- Added a few more shaders to accomodate drawing weapons with all the in-game
lighting models. These are accessed with the new DrawTexture tags
DTA_SpecialColormap and DTA_ColormapStyle.
- Player weapon sprites are now drawn using Direct3D and receive all the
benefits thereof.
SVN r1858 (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%

fact that NVidia's don't report it, even though they support it. If there
are any cards that no longer have antialised lines on the automap, please
let me know.
- Added vid_hwaalines cvar to force antialiased lines off for the
Direct3D renderer, in case it doesn't really support them.
SVN r1210 (trunk)
- Also changed all true color texture creation functions to use proper alpha
values instead of inverted ones.
- Changed FRemapTable so that all palette entries must contain proper alpha
values.
- Fixed: The F1 screen check in m_menu.cpp was missing a NULL pointer check.
- Changed: The boss brain's explosions play weapons/rocklx which is an
unlimited sound. This can become extremely loud. Replaced with a new
sound which is just an alias to weapons/rocklx but has a limit of 4.
SVN r932 (trunk)
that the drivers will treat a BackBufferCount of 0 as a request for
double buffering.
- Fixed: Unsetting a cvar did not remove it from the list of tab
completions.
- Added "" as a synonym for "nullimage" in SBARINFO.
- Fixed: MAKESAVESIG's stringifier in version.h did not work as expected.
It stringified the passed macro name, not the value of the macro.
- Moved DCajunMaster off the DObject hierarchy.
- Changed DCajunMaster::getspawned into a TArray of FStrings. It was
mysteriously being left pointing to uninitialized memory during the
final GC at exit and crashing.
- Fixed: The code that removed hexdd.wad from the list of IWADs when
hexen.wad was not present did not work.
SVN r861 (trunk)
- Disabled console alpha when the console is fullscreen.
- Re-enabled maybedrawnow for the software renderer. This should be replaced
with a different progress bar implementation at some point that can work
with hardware graphics.
SVN r747 (trunk)
frame to avoid the remote possibility that it could change during the middle
of drawing the frame and cause strange things to happen.
- Renamed test2d to vid_hw2d.
SVN r744 (trunk)
- Added .txt files to the list of types (wad, zip, and pk3) that can be
loaded without listing them after -file.
- Fonts that are created by the ACS setfont command to wrap a texture now
support animated textures.
- FON2 fonts can now use their full palette for CR_UNTRANSLATED when drawn
with the hardware 2D path instead of being restricted to the game palette.
- Fixed: Toggling vid_vsync would reset the displayed fullscreen gamma to 1
on a Radeon 9000.
- Added back the off-by-one palette handling, but in a much more limited
scope than before. The skipped entry is assumed to always be at 248, and
it is assumed that all Shader Model 1.4 cards suffer from this. That's
because all SM1.4 cards are based on variants of the ATI R200 core, and the
RV250 in a Radeon 9000 craps up like this. I see no reason to assume that
other flavors of the R200 are any different. (Interesting note: With the
Radeon 9000, D3DTADDRESS_CLAMP is an invalid address mode when using the
debug Direct3D 9 runtime, but it works perfectly fine with the retail
Direct3D 9 runtime.) (Insight: The R200 probably uses bytes for all its
math inside pixel shaders. That would explain perfectly why I can't use
constants greater than 1 with PS1.4 and why it can't do an exact mapping to
every entry in the color palette.
- Fixed: The software shaded drawer did not work for 2D, because its selected
"color"map was replaced with the identitymap before being used.
- Fixed: I cannot use Printf to output messages before the framebuffer was
completely setup, meaning that Shader Model 1.4 cards could not change
resolution.
- I have decided to let remap palettes specify variable alpha values for
their colors. D3DFB no longer forces them to 255.
- Updated re2c to version 0.12.3.
- Fixed: A_Wander used threshold as a timer, when it should have used
reactiontime.
- Fixed: A_CustomRailgun would not fire at all for actors without a target
when the aim parameter was disabled.
- Made the warp command work in multiplayer, again courtesy of Karate Chris.
- Fixed: Trying to spawn a bot while not in a game made for a crashing time.
(Patch courtesy of Karate Chris.)
- Removed some floating point math from hu_scores.cpp that somebody's GCC
gave warnings for (not mine, though).
- Fixed: The SBarInfo drawbar command crashed if the sprite image was
unavailable.
- Fixed: FString::operator=(const char *) did not release its old buffer when
being assigned to the null string.
- The scanner no longer has an upper limit on the length of strings it
accepts, though short strings will be faster than long ones.
- Moved all the text scanning functions into a class. Mainly, this means that
multiple script scanner states can be stored without being forced to do so
recursively. I think I might be taking advantage of that in the near
future. Possibly. Maybe.
- Removed some potential buffer overflows from the decal parser.
- Applied Blzut3's SBARINFO update #9:
* Fixed: When using even length values in drawnumber it would cap to a 98
value instead of a 99 as intended.
* The SBarInfo parser can now accept negatives for coordinates. This
doesn't allow much right now, but later I plan to add better fullscreen
hud support in which the negatives will be more useful. This also cleans
up the source a bit since all calls for (x, y) coordinates are with the
function getCoordinates().
- Added support for stencilling actors.
- Added support for non-black colors specified with DTA_ColorOverlay to the
software renderer.
- Fixed: The inverse, gold, red, and green fixed colormaps each allocated
space for 32 different colormaps, even though each only used the first one.
- Added two new blending flags to make reverse subtract blending more useful:
STYLEF_InvertSource and STYLEF_InvertOverlay. These invert the color that
gets blended with the background, since that seems like a good idea for
reverse subtraction. They also work with the other two blending operations.
- Added subtract and reverse subtract blending operations to the renderer.
Since the ERenderStyle enumeration was getting rather unwieldy, I converted
it into a new FRenderStyle structure that lets each parameter of the
blending equation be set separately. This simplified the set up for the
blend quite a bit, and it means a number of new combinations are available
by setting the parameters properly.
SVN r710 (trunk)
* Fixed: Drawbar had a few memory leaks.
- Added another temporary cvar called pc to play with the multipiler used by D3DFB::SetPaletteTexture().
SVN r704 (trunk)
truncate the coordinates to integers before sending them to the hardware.
Otherwise, there can be one pixel gaps compared to the software renderer,
because the hardware is rounding to nearest but the software renderer is
simply truncating the fractional part of the coordinate. This is the real
cause of the gap above the status bar at 1152x864 (and another gap to the
left of the status bar at 800x500).
- Fixed: When D3DFB::DrawTextureV had to clip a tile, it adjusted the
texture coordinates erroneously, still using the old calculations from
before texture packing was implemented.
SVN r695 (trunk)
can share the same hardware texture. This greatly reduces the number of
DrawPrimitive calls that need to be made when drawing text (or any 2D
graphics in general), so now hardware text is much faster than software text
all around. (As an example, one scenario went from 315 fps to over 1635 fps
for hardware, compared to 540 fps for software.)
SVN r687 (trunk)
- Modified M_DrawFrame() and R_DrawTopBorder() so that they call FlatFill() to
draw the edges of the frames. This at least seems a bit faster for hardware
2D.
- Implemented FlatFill() for D3DFB. It seems to be exactly as fast as the
default implementation that just calls DrawTexture() to tile the pieces onto
the screen, so I'm not sure it was worth the bother.
SVN r686 (trunk)
vertex buffer, made line batching automatic, and added an index buffer for
use when batching quads. The index buffer actually offered more of a
performance boost than simply batching the quads alone did.
SVN r685 (trunk)
players are on teams.
- Set TEAM_None back to 255. Since a player's team has already been accessible
through ACS, needlessly redefining this is a bad thing to do, since it can
break existing maps. 255 different teams should still be more than enough.
- Fixed: At certain resolutions, there was a one pixel row between the status
bar and the rest of the screen, thanks to rounding error.
- Added automatic batching of quads to D3DFB. Screens with a lot of text are
ever-so-slightly faster now, though still only about half the speed of
sofware-only text. I suppose the only way to see a marked improvement is
going to be by stuffing multiple glyphs in a single texture.
- Fixed: Crosshairgrow's animation was not framerate-independent.
SVN r668 (trunk)
and into the vertex data.
- Added functions for doing line drawing with Direct3D, including a new pair
of functions to do batched line drawing so that the map can actually be
drawn faster in hardware than in software (instead of an order of magnitude
slower).
SVN r663 (trunk)
shader seems to be producing crappy output, so it's disabled for now.
Specifically, it produces distorted output at regular intervals for
textures that aren't power-of-2-sized, and it's still doing visible
filtering when the texture is rendered at its original size, so
obviously it's not doing something right.
- Fixed the use of power-of-2-sized native textures for smaller game
textures again.
- Fixed: D3DFB did not restore all the state it needed to after resetting
the device.
- Fixed: R_DrawTopBorder() must clip itself around the 3D view, since it's
now drawn later.
- With full software rendering, palette flashes once again effect the whole
screen.
Changes I neglected to put in the previous commit log:
- Moved the view border drawing into the 2D mode part. When using Begin2D()
now, the only part of the software buffer that gets updated to the screen
is the part with the actual 3D scene and only if you tell it to.
- Fixed a D3D memory leak on every frame in windowed mode and the same thing
for the screen wipes. Note to self: If it's an interface, be sure to
Release it, because it will be AddRef'ed before being returned to you.
- Moved the BlendView() call out of FBaseStatusBar::Draw() so that it can be
applied before copying the 3D scene to the screen underneath the 2D parts.
- Restored the console's darkening level to its old table-based amount.
- Fixed D3DFB::SetColorOverlay()'s incorrect calculations.
- Fixed the D3D screen wipes for letterboxed modes.
SVN r662 (trunk)
since I couldn't think of any reason why it should be grabbed at any other
time. (This only applies to windowed mode, where it makes sense to let the
OS have control of the pointer.)
SVN r661 (trunk)
a long-abandoned experiment to write directly to video memory instead of
to a temporary buffer in system meroy.
- Added Direct3D versions of the melt and burn screenwipes.
- Fixed the strip sizes for the melt screenwipe to match what Doom would have
produced on a 320x200 screen, rather than producing more, thinner strips
for wider screens.
