- Fixed: Friendlies would not turn to face you when you engaged them in
conversation, nor would they reliably return to their original facing when
you stopped talking to them.
- Added deprecation warnings for the DontHurtShooter, ExplosionRadius, and
ExplosionDamage actor "properties." They were considered deprecated before;
now this is explicitly stated when they are used. The problem with them is
that they are not really properties and do not behave like other properties
and cannot be inherited, because they are really just an alternate way of
specifying parameters for A_Explode. (Anything that currently prints a
deprecation warning will be removed completely in 2.2.0, which will be the
version where custom state labels make their debut.)
SVN r272 (trunk)
intelligently pick the value to use for TranslucentLine's second argument.
- Added a queryiwad_key cvar to control which key can force the IWAD selection
to appear. It can be either "shift" or "control". Any other value will
disable its functionality.
- Fixed: A_SkullPop() and A_FreezeDeathChunks() did not transfer the player's
inventory to the new dismembered head "player".
SVN r268 (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)
didn't count at all - not even toward the global level statistics.
- ...and removed it again. It was not an accident. The only reason the PowerupGiver
had its own RespawnTics was to account for the pickup flash delay.
But that is better handled by checking the flag and adding the additional 30
tics in AInventory::Hide because then it affects all items that have one -
and only those. The AT_GAME_SET function didn't work anyway because it was
called after parsing DECORATE.
SVN r253 (trunk)
here the game filter is irrelevant and there's nothing that should prevent
the HereticPlayer being added to a Hexen game, for example.
- Changed: The addplayerclass CCMD was far too paranoid and needlessly aborted
the game for any error being encountered. Since an empty player class list
is checked for elsewhere outputting the messages to the console is sufficient.
SVN r251 (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)
greater flexibility in what can be replaced (replaced actors need not be ancestors
of actors that replace them) at the expense of not having universal actor
replacement. Instances where replacements work:
- Line specials that spawn things (Thing_Spawn and related)
- ACS spawning commands (SpawnSpot and the like)
- Spawning mapthings at level load time in P_SpawnMapThing()
- Spawning items off of dead dudes in P_DropItem()
- The A_SpawnItem decorate function
- The summon and summonfriend console commands
- ThingCount will count both original actors and their replacements as the same
things.
TBD: Should the ACS inventory functions use replacements too, or not?
SVN r249 (trunk)
because PClass::CreateDerivedClass() did not initialize everything before calling
InsertIntoHash().
- Fixed: Forcefully removing a weapon from a player's inventory would not reset
the player's refire counter.
- Fixed: FreeKeySections() was called before M_SaveDefaults() during shutdown,
so all custom keys would go to a "(null)" section instead of their intended
section.
SVN r248 (trunk)
savegames at this point in time.
- Fixed: R_ClearPlanes() did not clear skybox planes for a full clear.
- Streamlined zip file loading by delaying the processing of the local file
header until it is actually needed.
SVN r247 (trunk)
- Fixed: CCMD(dir) passes FStrings directly to Printf.
For R241:
- Fixed: The defaultbind command still treated the bindings as char pointers and
as a result didn't work.
- Added SpawnSpotFacing ACS function which is the same as SpawnSpot but it uses
the map spot's angle.
- Added ThingCountName ACS function which is the same as ThingCount but it takes
an actor's type name instead of a spawn ID.
SVN r242 (trunk)
ceiling and floor of the front sector, the renderer did not add it to the
solid clip list.
- Blends created with the ACS fade commands now degrade to transparent overlays
when the console is visible, just as they do for the menu.
SVN r240 (trunk)
using duplicate DoomEdNums and will affect all attempts to spawn the
replaced actor. However, because this happens for all spawns and not just
at map load, the replacing actor must be compatible with the replaced
actor, which means that an actor can only serve as a replacement for one
of its baseclasses. For example, if you want to use a modified imp, you can
use this DECORATE:
actor MyImp : DoomImp replaces DoompImp
{
// Put changed properties here
}
- New: The IWAD dialog now remembers the last IWAD you picked and
automatically highlights it the next time you run the game. This also
applies if you check "Don't ask me this again": The IWAD selected will be
the one that gets automatically loaded, not the one located first. (Using
the -iwad parameter will not change the default IWAD.) In addition, you
can now bring the dialog up even if you disable it by holding down SHIFT
during startup.
- Changed ExtractFilePath() and ExtractFileBase() to return FStrings instead
of writing to a provided output buffer. ExtractFileBase() can also
optionally keep the file's extension in the result.
- Removed the -heapsize parameter entirely. The informational message should
no longer be needed.
- Removed -maxdemo parameter. There's no point to having it around since
the demo buffer grows automatically.
SVN r238 (trunk)
for direct descendants of AWeapon and not for every weapon being defined.
- Changed parsing of actor names back to not use C-mode. This change breaks
any definition that contain periods in their name and apparently there's
more than anyone could expect. Also altered the parser to manually check
for colons inside the parsed string so that placing spaces around them
is no longer necessary.
- Fixed: Weapons could be picked up for ammo even if they gave none.
- Fixed: A_Beacon was missing a NULL pointer check for the beacon's owner.
- Fixed: The status bar tried to access CPlayer->camera without checking
its validity. In spy mode there is a possibility that it is NULL.
SVN r237 (trunk)
- Changed the special radius damage handling for the barrel and boss brain
into an actor flag.
- Added A_RadiusThrust code pointer for DECORATE and adjusted the radius
attack functions accordingly.
SVN r236 (trunk)
yanking the mouse around if they keys haven't been read yet to combat the
same situation that causes the keyboard to return DIERR_NOTACQUIRED in
KeyRead(): The window is sort of in focus and sort of not. User.dll
considers it to be focused and it's drawn as such, but another focused
window is on top of it, and DirectInput doesn't see it as focused.
- Fixed: KeyRead() should handle DIERR_NOTACQUIRED errors the same way it
handles DIERR_INPUTLOST errors. This can happen if our window had the
focus stolen away from it before we tried to acquire the keyboard in
DI_Init2(). Strangely, MouseRead_DI() already did this.
- When a stack overflow occurs, report.txt now only includes the first and
last 16KB of the stack to make it more manageable.
- Limited StreamEditBinary() to the first 64KB of the file to keep it from
taking too long on large dumps.
- And now I know why gathering crash information in the same process that
crashed can be bad: Stack overflows. You get one spare page to play with
when the stack overflows. MiniDumpWriteDump() needs more than that and
causes an access violation when it runs out of leftover stack, silently
terminating the application. Windows XP x64 offers SetThreadStackGuarantee()
to increase this, but that isn't available on anything older, including
32-bit XP. To get around this, a new thread is created to write the mini
dump when the stack overflows.
- Changed A_Burnination() to be closer to Strife's.
- Fixed: When playing back demos, DoAddBot() can be called without an
associated call to SpawnBot(). So if the bot can't spawn, botnum can
go negative, which will cause problems later in DCajunMaster::Main()
when it sees that wanted_botnum (0) is higher than botnum (-1).
- Fixed: Stopping demo recording in multiplayer games should not abruptly
drop the recorder out of the game without notifying the other players.
In fact, there's no reason why it should drop them out of multiplayer at
all.
- Fixed: Earthquakes were unreliable in multiplayer games because
P_PredictPlayer() did not preserve the player's xviewshift.
- Fixed: PlayerIsGone() needs to stop any scripts that belong to the player
who left, in addition to executing disconnect scripts.
- Fixed: APlayerPawn::AddInventory() should also check for a NULL player->mo
in case the player left but somebody still has a reference to their actor.
- Fixed: DDrawFB::PaintToWindow() should simulate proper unlocking behavior
and set Buffer to NULL.
- Improved feedback for network game initialization with the console ticker.
- Moved i_net.cpp and i_net.h out of sdl/ and win32/ and into the main source
directory. They are identical, so keeping two copies of them is bad.
- Fixed: (At least with Creative's driver's,) EAX settings are global and not
per-application. So if you play a multiplayer ZDoom game on one computer
(or even another EAX-using application), ZDoom needs to restore the
environment when it regains focus.
- Maybe fixed: (See http://forum.zdoom.org/potato.php?t=10689) Apparently,
PacketGet can receive ECONNRESET from nodes that aren't in the game. It
should be safe to just ignore these packets.
- Fixed: PlayerIsGone() should set the gone player's camera to NULL in case
the player who left was player 0. This is because if a remaining player
receives a "recoverable" error, they will become player 0. Once that happens,
they game will try to update sounds through their camera and crash in
FMODSoundRenderer::UpdateListener() because the zones array is now NULL.
G_NewInit() should also clear all the player structures.
SVN r233 (trunk)
the resource script so that Developer Studio won't replace the version macros
in it with their literal values. Now updating version.h is guaranteed to be
enough to bump the version everywhere it's used.
SVN r225 (trunk)
longer used.
- Fixed: strifehelp.acs and the PUMPUPS cheat need to give 10 UpgradeStaminas
because that item is using Inventory::Amount now.
SVN r220 (trunk)
- Went back to a single process model for crash reporting. It appears there
are some machines that don't like having another process collect the
information and report it. I still feel that having another process do
it _should_ be more reliable, because that process can execute in a known
good state. Ah well. I haven't yet seen anything that left the main process
in a totally unrecoverable state, so it's probably okay. Unlike before, this
single-process version is still GCC-compatible.
