In this mode the clean scaling factors are ignored and content is always scaled to fit the screen as efficently as possible.
For the default summary screens an option was added to use this mode, which is a lot closer to the original look of this screen.
It is not 100% identical because it still factors in the author, if given and long level names that may be broken into multiple lines of text.
The background size wasn't taken into account for the splats and the widescreen check never verified the height of the background image.
It will now unconditionally use the new widescreen expansion mode for everything to reduce problems, use the background's display size for positioning overlays and only in the case of 200 pixel tall images perform widescreen positioning adjustment.
* a few shorter fields were moved into alignment gaps
* the visible angles are now stored as floats. Since these are only used for rendering the loss of precision is negligible, but this shortens AActor by 16 bytes alone.
Sensitivity scaling of both axes is now exposed as a raw factor to the user instead of obscuring it behind an unclear 'prescale' boolean.
This also consolidates the coordinate processing code to prevent such discrepancies as were present here from happening again.
Migration code for old config settings is present so that this change does not affect existing configurations.
Sound stopping was done in the wrong place - this killed the sound before they could be serialized for hub travel.
The sound may only be stopped *after* calling G_DoCompleted.
This reverts commit 8fc9f1e5ef.
As I already feared, this does not work right. The entire linking/unlinking code is simply too fragile. So no protection here against inept tinkering.
(for some reason it was unable to figure out the overrides for 'lumpname' in the function g_level.cpp/CalcMapName, even though this is a very old function)
- DirectInput axes are now X first, Y second.
- Menu axes controls swapped/fixed.
- Added SDL DualShock3 buttons in menu actions.
- Fixed SDL mouse system cursor; it could appear in-game.
This is the last parameter for A_RadiusThrust() DECORATE function.
If it is omitted or none, then A_RadiusThrust will behave as usual.
If it is set for some species name, it witt thrust only that species.
Of course, these species should be +VULNERABLE to be thrustable.
* support for SSI container format - this is an obscure format used by a few Duke Nukem mods - added to have this subsystem identical between both engines.
* removed some dead wrapper code
* made the Open methods local to their implementations, this was never called virtually.
* new texture format: ANM - this reads the first frame of a Build-ANM movie as a texture.
* some preparations for indexed (paletted) rendering.
* optimization of the patch texture checker - do not read in the entire file if checking the initial header is sufficient for rejecting it.
* removed refreshFreq variable and related code. This only got into the backend because of stupid interpolation code in some of the Build games which has long been removed.
* save FixedBitArrays as base64 in savegames.
* allow indirections in the string table - by prefixing the language string with '$$' the remaining text is interpreted as another string label to resolve.
* constexpr in palette code, also replacing #defines with enums.
Backported from Raze - without this there is no way to implement sounds that can unload themselves, because the existing ChannelEnded function is called when the sound is still active.
