palettes smaller than 256 entries with the shader I wrote for it. Is there
a list of gotchas like this listed some where? I'd really like to see it.
Well, when compiled with SM2.0, the PalTex shader seems to be every-so-
slightly faster on my GF7950GT than the SM1.4 version, so I guess it's a
minor win for cards that support it.
- Fixed: ST_Endoom() failed to free the bitmap it used.
- Added the DTA_ColorOverlay attribute to blend a color with the texture
being drawn. For software, this (currently) only works with black. For
hardware, it works with any color. The motiviation for this was so I could
rewrite the status bar calls that passed DIM_MAP to DTA_Translation to
draw darker icons into something that didn't require making a whole new
remap table.
- After having an "OMG! How could I have been so stupid?" moment, I have
removed the off-by-one check from D3DFB. I had thought the off-by-one error
was caused by rounding errors by the shader hardware. Not so. Rather, I
wasn't sampling what I thought I was sampling. A texture that uses palette
index 255 passes the value 1.0 to the shader. The shader needs to adjust the
range of its palette indexes, or it will end up trying to read color 256
from the palette texture when it should be reading color 255. Doh!
- The TranslationToTable() function has been added to map from translation
numbers used by actors to the tables those numbers represent. This function
performs validation for the input and returns NULL if the input value
is invalid.
- Major changes to the way translation tables work: No longer are they each a
256-byte array. Instead, the FRemapTable structure is used to represent each
one. It includes a remap array for the software renderer, a palette array
for a hardware renderer, and a native texture pointer for D3DFB. The
translationtables array itself is now an array of TArrays that point to the
real tables. The DTA_Translation attribute must also be passed a pointer
to a FRemapTable, not a byte array as previously.
- Modified DFrameBuffer::DrawRateStuff() so that it can do its thing properly
for D3DFB's 2D mode. Before, any fullscreen graphics (like help images)
covered it up.
SVN r640 (trunk)
- Fixed: ASkyViewpoint::Destroy was missing the super call.
- Added SnowKate709's A_LookEx update.
- Moved M_DrawPlayerBackdrop into DCanvas as a virtual function. Since this
directly accesses the frame buffer it must be overridable for renderers
that work differently.
SVN r632 (trunk)
passing renderer specific data to the function. Also added DTA_Font so
that the renderer can fetch font translations from the proper font.
DIM_MAP/ConShade had to be made a regular translation table to make it
work.
- Added Karate Chris's fix for scoreboard displaying team play related data
in non teamplay games.
- Fixed: The team selection menu didn't work.
- Fixed: UpdateTeam passed an FString to Printf.
SVN r623 (trunk)
- Added a new color parameter to DCanvas::Clear() that specifies the
ARGB value of the color. This is used if the old color parameter,
which specifies a palette entry, is -1.
SVN r617 (trunk)
both dest and src. Also changed this function so that it is owned by the
destination canvas of the operation which is necessary if it needs to
be overridden by subclasses.
SVN r607 (trunk)
- Fixed: When changing your name from the menu, you got an extra " appended
to your name if it ended with a backslash.
- Added escape sequences for user info strings, so now they can contain
embedded backslashes.
- Fixed an array-out-of-bounds access when drawing the player setup menu with
an invalid team number.
SVN r598 (trunk)
- Updated project files for nasm 2.0, which is now named nasm.exe for the
Windows version, rather than nasmw.exe. Also fixed the annoying new warnings
it generated.
SVN r593 (trunk)
crouching motion.
- Fixed: The keypress for nightmare mode verification appeared in the console
if the fullscreen console was open while using the menu.
- Added support for scaling down large console fonts in the customize
controls menu.
- Fixed: Joining a negative team was possible.
SVN r590 (trunk)
of MustConfirm: It looked for TK_String when it should have used TK_StringConst.
- Fixed: When travelling to a new non-hub map, any items being carried with
amounts of 0 would be upped to 1.
SVN r589 (trunk)
if the first spawned one died and executed some code in its death state.
- Added Karate Chris's submission for 'allowrespawn' MAPINFO option.
- Added Karate Chris's submission for customizable skill confirmation text.
- Fixed: Doom's statusbar only checked for primary attacks, not secondary ones when
setting Doomguy's face. (Thanks to Karate Chris for the fix.)
- added Skulltag's FORCEYBILLBOARD and FORCEXYBILLBOARD flags to the DECORATE parser.
Even though the software renderer has no use for them it is necessary to support them
so that mods can use these flags without becoming incompatible with ZDoom.
SVN r576 (trunk)
- fixed: The brown Chaos Serpent in Hexen had an incorrect sprite for its
ice death sequence set.
- fixed: Ammo upon game start does not get multiplied when on easy skill.
Implementing this as an inventory flag IF_IGNORESKILL also allows to create
ammo/weapon/backpack types that don't multiply the ammo given when on this
skill.
- moved Doom exit sounds into SNDINFO as $random definitions.
- Fixed: Dying Lost Souls could be reset to their see state if they slammed into
something.
SVN r540 (trunk)
- Fixed: Resurrecting a player must restore all flags words, not just the first one.
- Fixed: APowerWeaponLevel2::EndEffect must check PendingWeapon for WP_NOCHANGE.
- added Skulltag's high jump rune as a powerup
- Added Skulltag's Drain and Regeneration runes as powerups and used specific player
sounds for their sound effects instead of using misc/i_pkup.
(If I ever decide to implement runes it will be in a way that can use the regular
powerups instead of having to define specific classes for them.)
- Added Skulltag's PowerQuadDamage and PowerQuarterDamage as more customizable
PowerDamage and PowerProtection. These new powerups allow free customization of
the damage modification per damage type by inheriting from these classes and
setting specific values. Such derived damage/protection powerups will be considered
as separate powers so that for example a QuadDamage and a DoubleDamage item can be
stacked which would result in 8x damage.
- merged player_t::cheats and player_t::Powers into one variable.
SVN r529 (trunk)
was open, the game was frozen before its initial setup tick until the
console was closed. The most obvious result of this is that your view was
stuck on the floor until the console closed.
- Fixed: Pressing ESC while editing your player name completely cleared the
menus instead of simply canceling the name change.
- Fixed: The status bar still showed the rampage face if you held the fire
button down while frozen.
SVN r493 (trunk)
were applied even when the status bar wasn't drawn. (In other words, even
in situations where a real palette blend wouldn't have happened.)
SVN r462 (trunk)
- If you aren't targeting x86, m_fixed.h only includes basicinlines.h now.
- Moved x64inlines.h into basicinlines.h.
- Replaced uses of __int64 with types from doomtype.h.
- The stop console command no longer ends single player games, just the demo
that was being recorded.
- In C mode, the sc_man parser no longer allows multi-line string constants
without using the \ character to preface the newline character. This makes
it much easier to diagnose errors where you forget the closing quote of a
string.
- Fixed: V_BreakLines() added the terminating '\0' to the last line of the
input string.
- Added font as a parameter to V_BreakLines and removed its keepspace
parameter, which was never passed as anything other than the default.
SVN r331 (trunk)
- The stat meters now return an FString instead of sprintfing into a fixed
output buffer.
- NOASM is now automatically defined when compiling for a non-x86 target.
- Some changes have been made to the integral types in doomtype.h:
- For consistancy with the other integral types, byte is no longer a
synonym for BYTE.
- Most uses of BOOL have been change to the standard C++ bool type. Those
that weren't were changed to INTBOOL to indicate they may contain values
other than 0 or 1 but are still used as a boolean.
- Compiler-provided types with explicit bit sizes are now used. In
particular, DWORD is no longer a long so it will work with both 64-bit
Windows and Linux.
- Since some files need to include Windows headers, uint32 is a synonym
for the non-Windows version of DWORD.
- Removed d_textur.h. The pic_t struct it defined was used nowhere, and that
was all it contained.
SVN r326 (trunk)
- Changed A_AlertMonsters so that it can be placed directly in a weapon state.
- Fixed: Frozen corpses of stealth monsters were invisible.
- Added: Calling Radius_Quake with a tid of 0 now uses the activator
as the quake's center.
SVN r275 (trunk)
class menu was present so instead of starting the game specific skill menu
it always started Hexen's.
- Fixed: When a non-player tried to play a player sound it tried to access
the actor object as an APlayerPawn.
- Changed PlayAttacking2 to always use the melee state instead of different
implementations per player and hard coding it to MissileState+1. Also
changed PlayAttacking for the HereticPlayer to use the same animation as
PlayAttacking2. Now the special handling for Heretic in the FireWeapon
functions can be removed.
For R258:
- Fixed: PlayerStartItem created a duplicate of the item's class name before
converting it into an FName.
- Removed game check for Doom from P_BloodSplatter. The BloodSplatter actor
is compatible with all games now so the explicit handling is no longer needed.
- Moved replacement handling back into AActor::StaticSpawn but controlled
by a (mandatory) parameter. Also added replacement to most other
instances in the game where non-inventory items are spawned. Replacement is safe
nearly everywhere except for inventory related spawns.
- Fixed: Due to the player class inclusion A_NoBlocking never called
NoBlockingSet for monsters.
- Changed: Sounds can be specified by full path now in SNDINFO and S_SKIN.
SVN r259 (trunk)
so now it is available in all games.
- Replaced the call to A_FlameSnd in the HereticPlayer's burn death sequence
with A_FireScream and defined *burndeath for Heretic.
- Added Grubber's custom player class support.
SVN r250 (trunk)
- Fixed map name checks in idclev, hxvisit, for +map and the titlemap.
- Changed handling of Zips so that the patches/, graphics/, sounds/ and
music/ subdirectories no longer are placed in the global namespace. Instead
new namespaces are defined. These namespaces aren't merged, however and
searching in them either returns a lump inside it or one from the global
namespace when it doesn't come from a Zip file. Proper order of files is
still observed though. As a result proper use of the directories inside Zips
is strictly enforced now so that for example anything used as a patch must be
in the patches/ directory and won't be found anywhere else.
SVN r199 (trunk)
dialogs.
- Added Thing_Raise special that allows Arch-Vile like resurrections from scripts
or DECORATE states.
- Added a RadiusDamageFactor property for actors. This replaces the hard coded
factor of 0.25 for Hexen's players.
- Added new SpawnProjectile function to ACS. It's the same as Thing_Projectile2
but the projectile is specified by name, not spawn ID.
- Added MAPINFO option to set the compatibility flags. If this is done these
explicit settings will take precedence over the compatflags CVAR.
SVN r164 (trunk)
- New: Pausing the game (through any means, not just the pause key) now pauses
sound effects as well as music. "PauseMusicInMenus" has been added as a
MAPINFO flag to also pause the music when a menu or the console are open.
SVN r134 (trunk)
- Fixed: Any touching_sectorlists for actors unlinked in G_StartTravel() were
lost forever.
- Fixed: DLightningThinker::Serialize() did not delete the old
LightningLightLevels array when loading from an archive.
- Fixed: Although I moved the correct polyobject freeing code into
P_FreeLevelData(), I left the old wrong code there too, which just deleted
the array without deleting anything hanging off of it.
SVN r127 (trunk)
longer determined by game. Instead there's a new flag, MF5_BLOODSPLATTER
which is deciding what to do. To keep backwards compatibility this flag
is unset for projectiles in Doom and Strife and set for them in Heretic
and Hexen. The same applies to DECORATE but of course the flag can be
manipulated here.
- BLODxx sprites are now globally renamed to BLUDxx when not playing Doom.
This allows using the same states in every game, including the
Raven-specific blood actors.
- Gave the bullet puff and the axe blood masses of 5 so that the make small
splashes.
- Added A_Light(value) code pointer for DECORATE to generalize the weapon
light effect.
- Added 'noskillmenu' option to MAPINFO episode definitions. This is for
WADs that want to implement a skill selection level.
- Added APROP_ChaseGoal and APROP_Frightened actor properties for ACS.
- Added MF5_CHASEGOAL flag that makes monsters to go after their goal even
if they have a valid target.
- Fixed some issues with the changes to P_NewChaseDir I made to include
MBF's dropoff logic.
- Added a PowerFrightener powerup class. It seemed like such a waste to
have this cool feature but no means to use it in a decent fashion.
- Fixed: S_Init and S_ParseSndInfo should call atterm only once but not
each time they are called.
SVN r112 (trunk)
functions added to the exit chain with atterm so that they can be called
in a deterministic order and not whatever order the linker decides to put
them in.
- Fixed: DCajunMaster did not free its getspawned.
- Fixed: P_FreeLevelData() did not free ACS scripts.
- Fixed: Level snapshots were not freed at exit.
- Fixed: The save/load menu list was not freed at exit.
- Fixed: FCompressedMemFile needs a destructor to free the m_ImplodedBuffer.
- Fixed: G_DoLoadGame() did not free the engine string.
- Fixed: M_ReadSaveStrings() did not free the engine string.
- Fixed: Processing DEM_SAVEGAME did not free the pathname string.
- Added a check for truncated flats to FFlatTexture::MakeTexture() because
Heretic's F_SKY1 is only four bytes long.
- Added a dump of the offending state to the "Cannot find state..." diagnostic.
- Fixed: FCompressedFile did not initialize m_Mode in its default constructor.
- Fixed: Heretic and Hexen status bars did not initialize ArtiRefresh.
- Fixed: PNGHandle destructor should use delete[] to free TextChunks.
SVN r111 (trunk)
its tiles are loaded from the same directory.
- RFF files now load their entire directories into the lumplist.
- Added char * and const char * type coversions for FString, so FStrings can be
freely passed to functions expecting C strings. (Except varargs functions,
which still require manually fetching the C string out of it.)
- Renamed the name class to FName.
- Renamed the string class to FString to emphasize that it is not std::string.
SVN r74 (trunk)
your head has popped off your body.
- Fixed: When item respawning is on and you play on skill 1 or 5, picking
up ammo would permanently double the amount of ammo received from that
item the next time it gets picked up.
- Added a check to PlayerIsGone() for players who have already had their
actors destroyed before calling it.
- Fixed: G_CheckDemoStatus() only restored your name, autoaim, and color
settings after playing back a demo.
- Added DEM_SPRAY net command so that sprayed decals work in multiplayer
and demos.
- Changed DEM_GIVECHEAT to use a word for specifying the item quantity.
This is useful mainly for giving yourself more than 255 health at a time.
- Fixed: DEM_SUMMONFRIEND was not handled by Net_SkipCommand().
SVN r58 (trunk)
- Added multiple-choice sound sequences. These overcome one of the major
deficiences of the Hexen-inherited SNDSEQ system while still being Hexen
compatible: Custom door sounds can now use different opening and closing
sequences, for both normal and blazing speeds.
- Added a serializer for TArray.
- Added a countof macro to doomtype.h. See the1's blog to find out why
it's implemented the way it is.
<http://blogs.msdn.com/the1/articles/210011.aspx>
- Added a new method to FRandom for getting random numbers larger than 255,
which lets me:
- Fixed: SNDSEQ delayrand commands could delay for no more than 255 tics.
- Fixed: If you're going to have sector_t.SoundTarget, then they need to
be included in the pointer cleanup scans.
- Ported back newer name code from 2.1.
- Fixed: Using -warp with only one parameter in Doom and Heretic to
select a map on episode 1 no longer worked.
- New: Loading a multiplayer save now restores the players based on
their names rather than on their connection order. Using connection
order was sensible when -net was the only way to start a network game,
but with -host/-join, it's not so nice. Also, if there aren't enough
players in the save, then the extra players will be spawned normally,
so you can continue a saved game with more players than you started it
with.
- Added some new SNDSEQ commands to make it possible to define Heretic's
ambient sounds in SNDSEQ: volumerel, volumerand, slot, randomsequence,
delayonce, and restart. With these, it is basically possible to obsolete
all of the $ambient SNDINFO commands.
- Fixed: Sound sequences would only execute one command each time they were
ticked.
- Fixed: No bounds checking was done on the volume sound sequences played at.
- Fixed: The tic parameter to playloop was useless and caused it to
act like a redundant playrepeat. I have removed all the logic that
caused playloop to play repeating sounds, and now it acts like an
infinite sequence of play/delay commands until the sequence is
stopped.
- Fixed: Sound sequences were ticked every frame, not every tic, so all
the delay commands were timed incorrectly and varied depending on your
framerate. Since this is useful for restarting looping sounds that got
cut off, I have not changed this. Instead, the delay commands now
record the tic when execution should resume, not the number of tics
left to delay.
SVN r57 (trunk)
partially because the background patch has to be drawn always to
overwrite the old display.
- Fixed: Giving a health item to a non-player caused a crash.
- Added a compatibility option to limit deh.MaxHealth to the health bonus.
Originally this value wasn't used for health packs. Doing this was a bug
in Boom but since there's quite a few maps out there which require
Boom's altered behavior it has to be compatibility optioned.
- Fixed: The health bonus's max health must be defined by deh.MaxHealth,
not deh.MaxSoulsphere. To achieve this deh.MaxHealth's handling had to
be altered because it has to default to 100.
- Fixed: ZDBSP created incorrect side references with compressed sidedefs
and both sidedefs of a linedef being the same. This only affects the
external tool because the internal node builder is run after uncompressing
the sidedefs.
- Added Jim's latest makefile.linux.
- Added a consistency check to the PNAMES loader because one crash log
indicated that it crashed due to a corrupt PNAMES lump.
- Brought back the sector based sound target handling as a compatibility
option. This radical change just broke far too many maps that depend
on the original behavior. Strife's special AI functions are excluded
though because they work better with the new method.
