RIndexOf returns the index where the substring starts, instead of the index where the substring ends - 1.
Deprecate the LastIndexOf method of StringStruct
This reverts commit 8c7d3b6ab8.
With DTA_LegacyRenderStyle being added there is no pressing need for this. Aside from that there's an utterly unhealthy amount of information duplication here and it is missing some more recent additions.
This data must be immutable, if any mod plays loose here, very bad things can happen, so this hole got plugged, even at the expense risking to break some badly behaving mods.
This also replaces DTA_ColormapStyle with proper implementations of its components. As implemented it was a very awkward mixture of various effects that already existed in a separate form. As a result of its implementation it required additional but completely redundant shader support which could be removed now. As a side effect of this change a new DTA_Desaturate option was added.
- Change SetUniform functions to be clearscope as they can be safely called from both play and ui
- Add PlayerInfo argument to SetUniform functions to force the modder to take network play into account
- Add enabled flag on custom postprocess shaders
- Removed custom texture support until a more clean implementation is written
Combining these two groups of data has been the cause of many hard to detect errors because it allowed liberal casting between types that are used for completely different things.
- got rid of the image list in the Doom status bar. The cost of the texture lookup is mostly irrelevant here so clearer and shorter code is preferrable.
- moved the box fitting code from DrawTexture into the native function to have all coordinate calculations in one place which is necessary to implement proper alignment default handling. Without higher level functions altering positioning the default can be set to automatic alignment determination, i.e. the value's sign decides where something is placed. Of course for special cases this can be overridden.
- use ANIMDEFS to animate the inventory arrow,
- replaced Inventory.DrawPowerup with a GetPowerupIcon method so that the calling code can handle the drawing and apply its own rules. This was a major design flaw of allowing the inventory items to handle the drawing themselves, because they were unable to adjust to different HUD frontends. Note that any mod that overrides DrawPowerup will not draw any icon that expects to be handled that way!
- the alternative HUD now has its own, separate drawer that obeys the AltHUD's rules, and not the ones of the normal fullscreen HUD.
- the standard drawer has been scriptified as a virtual function.
- Both drawers now handle positioning of the icon inside its assigned box themselves instead of trusting the powerup item to do it correctly.
- DTA_HUDRules and Screen.DrawHUDTexture are to be considered deprecated because both do not integrate into the redesigned HUD code.
- merged BaseStatusBar and CustomStatusBar back together.
Since the low level draw functions are better done in native code for both performance and debuggability the split has become pointless.
Note that the Strife status bar does not draw the health bars yet. I tried to replace the hacky custom texture with a single fill operation but had to find out that all the coordinate mangling for the status bar is being done deep in the video code. This needs to be fixed before this can be made to work.
Currently this is not usable in mods because they cannot initialize custom status bars yet.
- allow treatment as one-character string constants as character constants. This became necessary because name constants already use single quotes and are much harder to repurpose due to a higher degree of ambiguity.
- fixed: protected methods in structs were not usable.
- added a StartSlideshow ACS and ZScript command and extended the functionality to specify the slideshow's name when starting it.
This is for triggering any kind of intermission definition in the middle of a level - keep in mind that this may not be set up to loop!
This method was chosen because it avoids adding variable declarations to the global namespace which would have required a lot more work while polluting the grammar.
This way the global variables can be handled by a small bit of special coding in the struct generator.
Since the true color software renderer also handles them there is no point keeping them on the GL side.
This also optimized how they are stored, because we no longer need to be aware of a base engine which doesn't have them.
Note that this completely disables the newly added keywords 'play' and 'ui' for unversioned code to allow using them as identifiers as I have found at least one mod that uses a variable named 'play' that would have been rendered broken otherwise.
This also disables many ZScript only keywords for other parsing jobs.
This is to block modification of the planes directly. For future-proofness with renderer changes everything that alters these values should go through he function interface.
- do not resolve the backdrop texture to a texture ID at load time. This will allow custom menu classes to use this info differently.
- added a new ZSDF userstring property to dialog pages to give mods more means for customization.
- allow overriding the conversation menu class both globally through MAPINFO and per conversation in ZSDF.
