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.

- 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)
if present.
- Modified GZDoom's true color texture copy functions and added them
to generate 32 bit D3D textures. Paletted TGAs and PCXs are also handled
this way but I don't think these 2 formats are worth some more special
handling.
(Question: Is it worth it to implement special handling for paletted PNGs
so that they are used as 8 bit textures internally?)
SVN r608 (trunk)
They are not actually drawn with it yet, nor is it complete, but it's
something to start with.
- Split up DCanvas::DrawTexture() into more pieces to make it easier to
virtualize.
- Removed support for non-32-bit palette textures from D3DFB. What kind of
card supports pixel shaders but not 32-bit textures?
SVN r605 (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)
receives the input focus. When the pane is closed, the focus doesn't
return to any window, so even though the window is still active, it no
longer has the focus and does not receive input events.
- Fixed: The network synch timer was still left running after the game
started. (Windows only)
- Fixed: When a player leaves the game at the exact moment they are being
damaged, the game could crash because their actor still had a valid player
pointer, but the player's mo pointer had been NULLed.
SVN r588 (trunk)
installed. If so, it checks your SteamApps directory for any IWADs you may
have purchased through Steam and adds any it finds to the list of available
IWADs you can play. This means that if you bought your id games through
Steam, you can just extract ZDoom anywhere you like and run it without doing
any additional setup.
SVN r581 (trunk)
NetDone.
- moved the DIM_MAP define into v_palette.h so that it can be accessed
from outside the status bar code.
- Fixed: The check for non-swimmable water in UpdateWaterLevel checked for
SECF_UNDERWATER instead of SECF_UNDERWATERMASK.
SVN r514 (trunk)
- The net start pane is now given focus when it is created, so it can
receive keyboard input.
- Added playback of the "WeaponPickup" sound when a Hexen net game starts.
- Separated the different startup screens into classes for better
modularization (which I should have done in the first place). (Sorry,
have not done it for Linux yet, so that won't compile as-is.)
SVN r496 (trunk)
of scrunching the startup screen up to make room for it.
- Added the red net notches for Hexen's startup screen.
- Added hprintf and status simulation for Heretic's startup screen.
SVN r495 (trunk)
position when not playing in fullscreen mode.
- Changed the upper-left window positioning that was always used in debug
builds into a command line option (-0), so debug and release builds behave
the same.
SVN r482 (trunk)
.rtext files in the assembly object files. Now I can avoid doing this at
runtime, which means that ZDoom is now UPX-compatible if anyone wants to
pack it.
You will need to do a rebuild or manually delete the old assembly .obj files
for the first build from this revision to succeed, since there are no
changes to the assembly files themselves, and the build process will not be
able to automatically detect that they need to be rebuilt.
SVN r473 (trunk)
P_TranslateLinedefs.
- Fixed: ShowErrorPane can be called before ST_NetDone is valid so it has to
check whether it is NULL.
- Fixed: The Megasphere had an incorrect pickup sound.
- Fixed: The new video initialization code could set the screen's Font pointer
to NULL, causing a crash with levels that start in a secret sector.
SVN r464 (trunk)
Normally Direct3D sets the FPU to single precision. We don't want that,
since it can mean going out of sync with machines that are using the
standard precision. Additionally, the nodebuilder requires the extra
precision that single precision lacks.
SVN r455 (trunk)
MAPINFO keyword 'bordertexture' and are settable per map.
- Fixed: When used in DECORATE A_Explode must use A_ExplodeParms.
- Added custom label support to A_Chase. To enable resurrection from the
customizable version I also moved all A_VileChase stuff into p_enemy.cpp.
SVN r437 (trunk)
- Fixed: The screen wipe must be disabled for Heretic's underwater ending. If
not, the wipe will try to mix pictures with different palettes.
SVN r435 (trunk)
both named item.
- Switched ddraw.dll to be delay loaded. With D3D9 now being the default
display code, this avoids wasting time loading DDraw if it isn't needed.
- Fixed: The Win32 I_FatalError() did not set alreadyThrown, so it could get
stuck in an endless fatal error loop.
SVN r433 (trunk)
wadsrc/Makefile, nor did it use the makefile for cleaning.
- Added ST_NetMessage() for mixing miscellaneous messages with the network
startup meter, since they get mixed in the same space on the Linux terminal
and must be handled properly to avoid looking bad.
SVN r429 (trunk)
- Fixed: The host would let more than the desired number of players connect.
- Decreased the frequency of packets in ST_NetLoop() to two per second.
- Fixed: During the i_net handshaking, guests never verified that the messages
they received were from the host.
- Removed the -net command line option. I'm not sure it even worked anymore.
SVN r421 (trunk)
warnings. At first, I was going to try and clean them all up. Then I decided
that was a worthless cause and went about just acting on the ones that
might actually be helpful:
C4189 (local variable is initialized but not referenced)
C4702 (unreachable code)
C4512 (assignment operator could not be generated)
SVN r420 (trunk)
otherwise it gets reset to black and unused.
- Fixed: I_SetWndProc() needs to be called before any of the DirectX
interfaces are initialized, because DirectX subclasses the window itself,
and I_SetWndProc() undoes that subclassing.
SVN r419 (trunk)
be surprised if it doesn't work.
- Reorganized the network startup loops so now they are event driven. There is
a single function that gets called to drive it, and it uses callbacks to
perform the different stages of the synchronization. This lets me have a nice,
responsive abort button instead of the previous unannounced hit-escape-to-
abort behavior, and I think the rearranged code is slightly easier to
understand too.
- Increased the number of bytes for version info during D_ArbitrateNetStart(),
in preparation for the day when NETGAMEVERSION requires more than one byte.
- I noticed an issue with Vista RC1 and the new fatal error setup. Even after
releasing a DirectDraw or Direct3D interface, the DWM can still use the
last image drawn using them when it composites the window. It doesn't always
do it but it does often enough that it is a real problem. At this point, I
don't know if it's a problem with the release version of Vista or not.
After messing around, I discovered the problem was caused by ~Win32Video()
hiding the window and then having it immediately shown soon after. The DWM
kept an image of the window to do the transition effect with, and then when
it didn't get a chance to do the transition, it didn't properly forget about
its saved image and kept plastering it on top of everything else
underneath.
- Added a network synchronization panel to the window during netgame startup.
- Fixed: PClass::CreateDerivedClass() must initialize StateList to NULL.
Otherwise, classic DECORATE definitions generate a big, fat crash.
- Resurrected the R_Init progress bar, now as a standard Windows control.
- Removed the sound failure dialog. The FMOD setup already defaulted to no
sound if initialization failed, so this only applies when snd_output is set
to "alternate" which now also falls back to no sound. In addition, it wasn't
working right, and I didn't feel like fixing it for the probably 0% of users
it affected.
- Fixed: The edit control used for logging output added text in reverse order
on Win9x.
- Went back to the roots and made graphics initialization one of the last
things to happen during setup. Now the startup text is visible again. More
importantly, the main window is no longer created invisible, which seems
to cause trouble with it not always appearing in the taskbar. The fatal
error dialog is now also embedded in the main window instead of being a
separate modal dialog, so you can play with the log window to see any
problems that might be reported there.
Rather than completely restoring the original startup order, I tried to
keep things as close to the way they were with early graphics startup. In
particular, V_Init() now creates a dummy screen so that things that need
screen dimensions can get them. It gets replaced by the real screen later
in I_InitGraphics(). Will need to check this under Linux to make sure it
didn't cause any problems there.
- Removed the following stubs that just called functions in Video:
- I_StartModeIterator()
- I_NextMode()
- I_DisplayType()
I_FullscreenChanged() was also removed, and a new fullscreen parameter
was added to IVideo::StartModeIterator(), since that's all it controlled.
- Renamed I_InitHardware() back to I_InitGraphics(), since that's all it's
initialized post-1.22.
SVN r416 (trunk)
- Fixed: If the FBTexture wasn't exactly the same size as the screen,
D3DFB::PaintToWindow() would still lock it with D3DLOCK_DISCARD. Alas,
I saw no speedup for using a dirty region. (Side note: The Radeons are
apparently slower compared to DirectDraw because they must do
power-of-2 textures. If they ever add non-power-of-2 support like nvidia,
I assume they will also see a speed gain.)
- Changed fb_d3d9.cpp so that instead of trying to compensate for Geforce
off-by-one errors in the pixel shader, it automatically detects where
the error occurs and modifies the way the palette is uploaded to
compensate. Palette color 255 is then represented using the texture
border color instead of actually being part of the palette. This should
work correctly with all cards, since I had a report of an FX where the
off-by-one occurred in a different spot from the place where I observed
it on a 6 and 7 series cards. Since the shader now has one fewer
instruction, I notice a very marginal speedup. (Interestingly, removing
the flash blending from the shader had no perceivable performance gain.)
SVN r399 (trunk)
the build process can run uninterrupted under Vista.
- Fixed: DIRECT3DCREATE9FUNC needs WINAPI added to its prototype so that it
works properly in release build, which defaults to __fastcall.
SVN r385 (trunk)
to PO_MovePolyobj() from P_SerializePolyobjs() for a crushing polyobject
that touches a player actor will not have a valid actor->player->mo chain
for P_DamageMobj and crash if it happens to touch the player. Since the
polyobject was presumably in a good spot when the game was saved, we can
just skip this step entirely and let it take care of itself the next time
it moves (by which time, the players will be valid).
- Fixed: When transitioning from fullscreen to windowed mode with D3DFB, the
window kept the WS_EX_TOPMOST style.
- Slight correctness fix: When in fullscreen, the window should have WS_POPUP
style.
- Added a NULL target check to P_SpawnMissileXYZ(), A_DemonAttack1(),
A_DemonAttack2_1(), and A_DemonAttack2_2().
SVN r384 (trunk)
ga_autosave, write DEM_CHECKAUTOSAVE to the net stream. When this is
processed, it will check if it's okay to do an autosave. If it is, it writes
DEM_DOAUTOSAVE to the net stream, which the sets gameaction to ga_autosave.
Essentially, about half of the functionality was moved out of G_DoAutoSave()
and into Net_DoCommand().
- Minor changes to OS detection: The os_WinNT enumeration has been renamed to
os_WinNT4, since every new OS coming out of Microsoft these days is
essentially NT. NT 5.2 and 6.0 are now properly identified as "Windows
Server 2003" and "Windows Vista" respectively, and any unknown NT versions
Microsoft introduces in the future will now be displayed as "Windows NT"
instead of "Windows 2000" if the minor version is 0 and "Windows XP" if the
minor version is non-0. Win32s detection has also been removed. Presumably
if somebody is foolish enough to try to run this on Windows 3.x with Win32s,
it won't even load due to missing DLLs.
- Fixed: Demos with NETD chunks should not set netgame to true unless they
have more than one player. And since netdemo is ignored if netgame is
false, it doesn't need to set that either.
- Fixed: FTexture::GetScaled* functions did not check for scale values of 0.
SVN r354 (trunk)
could not be saved for some reason.
- Added the writeini console command to write the config file, optionally
specifying a specific file name for it.
- Fixed: "Multiplayer" demos that only had one player were not played back
properly because the demo playback code only checked the number of players
to determine if it should be played as a netdemo.
