When running in a confined environment (such as a snap) it may not be
possible to write to directories such as ~/.config. By using the $HOME
variable instead of the '~' shortcut, the confined environment can pass
an alternative 'home' directory with write privelges.
I have only changed this for posix/unix and haven't touched code for
MacOS, as I don't know if that behaves differently
This is to ensure that the Class pointer can be set right on creation. ZDoom had always depended on handling this lazily which poses some problems for the VM.
So now there is a variadic Create<classtype> function taking care of that, but to ensure that it gets used, direct access to the new operator has been blocked.
This also neccessitated making DArgs a regular object because they get created before the type system is up. Since the few uses of DArgs are easily controllable this wasn't a big issue.
- did a bit of optimization on the bots' decision making whether to pick up a health item or not.
- all 5 settings affected by uiscale have been changed to have the exact same semantics: -1, if supported means special scaling, this is available for HUD and status bar, 0 means to use uiscale, any larger value is a direct scaling factor.
- scaling is cut off when the factor is larger than screenwidth/320 or screenheight/200 because anything larger will definitely not fit.
- a lot of code has been cleaned up and consolidated. Especially the message code had an incredible amount of redundancy.
- all scaling options have been moved into a submenu. This menu is not complete, though - it still requires a special menu widget to convey the intended information without confusing the user.
- better handling of ForceScale for the fullscreen HUD that doesn't mess around with CVARs.
- moved the mug shot into the status bar, because this is global state that needs to be shared between different pieces of code which want to display a mug shot.
- SBARINFO should work off the current status bar settings instead of the ones stored in its script object
This has an important implication:
Previously the config was loaded before IWADINFO so in order to allow the config to access the data this had to be switched around.
This means that zdoom.pk3 will not be looked for in the global IWAD search paths anymore, but since it shouldn't be there to begin with it should be an acceptable compromise.
As a result the old 'Group' property could be removed and all other means to get a section name were disabled.
As an example, if the code gets 'doom.doom2.commercial' it will use the following sections in this order:
global.autoload
doom.autoload
doom.doom2.autoload
doom.doom2.commercial.autoload.
* add new Autoname "HereticSR" for Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders.
* add missing CreateSectionAtStart() calls for Chex1, HereticSR,
Freedoom2, DoomBFG and Doom2BFG.
* remove Autoname "HexenDemo" because shareware games do not allow
loading any custom content.
The 'unix' identifier isn't defined when '-std' is passed to the compiler (tested with gcc and clang), so use '__unix__' which is well enough documented.
- Use functions in gitinfo.cpp to retrieve the strings from gitinfo.h so
that changes to gitinfo.h only require recompiling one file instead of
several.
- Separated CVAR_MODARCHIVE into CVAR_MOD|CVAR_ARCHIVE so that mod-defined cvars can still be
identified when they aren't meant to be archived.
SVN r4281 (trunk)
of the form:
<scope> [noarchive] <type> <name> [= <defaultvalue>];
Where <scope> is one of:
* server: This cvar is shared by all players, and in network games, only select players can
change it.
* user: Each player has their own copy of this cvar, which they can change independently.
To prevent the cvar from being written to the config file, add noarchive to its definition.
<Type> is one of:
* int: An integral value. Defaults to 0.
* float: A value that can include a fraction. Defaults to 0.0.
* color: A color value. Default to black ("00 00 00").
* bool: A boolean value that can hold either true or false. Defaults to false.
* string: A string value. It's not too useful for mods but is included for completeness. Defaults to "".
<Name> is the cvar's name and must begin with a letter and may only include alphanumeric
characters and the underscore character.
If you wish a non-standard default add an = character after the cvar's name followed by the
default value you want to use. Example:
server int mymod_coolness = 10;
- Fixed: FStringCVar::SetGenericRepDefault() did not make a copy of the input string.
SVN r4280 (trunk)
number to represent a flag combination is stupid unreadable now that there's more than just
the two possibilities it had when it was first written.
SVN r4278 (trunk)
- merged all places where secrets are credited into one common function.
- added the Doom64 COUNTSECRET actor flag.
- fixed: AInventory::CreateCopy did not clear the COUNTITEM flag.
- fixed: Dropping an item did not increase the item count but the dropped item could still have the COUNTITEM flag. Now this flag gets cleared when the item gets picked up so that dropped items don't count a second time.
SVN r2826 (trunk)
- fixed: The sound channel structure should not store the sound table's entries' addresses which are stored in a TArray by pointer. In case the array gets reallocated very bad things can happen. This caused some bad crashes when GZDoom's FraggleScript implementation created new sound entries.
SVN r2114 (trunk)
- Fixed: The non-Windows CreatePath can fail if part of the path already
exists, because mkdir will return an error code for trying to recreate
an existing directory.
SVN r1814 (trunk)
Zipdir is not doing byte swapping like it should. zdoom.ini is stored
in ~/Preferences, but all other file accesses are probably going to be
like Windows and look in the same directory as the executable.
SVN r1786 (trunk)
have those escapes stripped before printing so that they do not merge with
subsequent text.
- Moved default weapon slot assignments into the player classes.
Weapon.SlotNumber is now used solely for mods that want to add new weapons
without completely redoing the player's arsenal. Restored some config-based
weapon slot customization, though slots are no longer automatically saved
to the config and section names have changed slightly. However, unlike
before, config slots are now the definitive word on slot assignments and
cannot be overridden by any other files loaded.
- Fixed: Several weapons were missing a game filter from their definitions.
- Removed storage of weapon slots in the config so that weapon slots can
be setup in the weapons themselves. Slots are still configurable, since
they need to be for KEYCONF to work; any changes simply won't be saved
when you quit.
- Removed limit on weapon slot sizes.
SVN r1428 (trunk)
certain actors and added an option to APowerInvisibility to set this
flag when active.
- Added map specific automap backgrounds.
- Fixed: Voodoo dolls did not play a sound when dying.
- Added colorized error messages to DECORATE and made a few more error
conditions that do not block further parsing not immediately abort.
- Made all errors in CreateNewActor not immediately fatal so that the
rest of the DECORATE lump can be parsed normally to look for more errors.
- Fixed: Defining classes with the same name as their immediate base class
was legal. It should not be allowed that a class has another one with the
same name in its ancestry.
- Fixed: Formatting of the intermission screen on Heretic, Hexen and Strife
was broken. Changed it to use WI_Drawpercent which does it properly and
also allows showing percentage in these games now.
- Fixed: The MAPINFO parser ignored missing terminating braces of the last
block in the file.
