other more important message types which have lower priority for some
reason.
- Added a menu option for show_messages after accidentally switching it
off far too often and wondering why no messages appear.
- Added crouching DoomPlayer sprites submitted by Enjay.
- Fixed DF_NO_CROUCH was not checked.
- Fixed: The intermission script parser had some of its cases in the
keyword parser incorrectly sorted.
- Fixed: atterm was still defined to take a STACK_ARGS function argument.
- Added an AltFlash state for weapons.
- Turned FloatSpeed into an actor property and changed the value to 5
for all floating Strife actors, as a comment in the source indicated.
(r114 below):
- Added GZDoom's code for Vavoom slope things because I wanted to test
something with a map from Silent Steel.
- Added nocrouch and allowcrouch MAPINFO commands and a DF_NO_CROUCH
dmflag.
- Added GZDoom's crouching code after cleaning it up so that adding
crouching sprites will be easier.
SVN r115 (trunk)
longer determined by game. Instead there's a new flag, MF5_BLOODSPLATTER
which is deciding what to do. To keep backwards compatibility this flag
is unset for projectiles in Doom and Strife and set for them in Heretic
and Hexen. The same applies to DECORATE but of course the flag can be
manipulated here.
- BLODxx sprites are now globally renamed to BLUDxx when not playing Doom.
This allows using the same states in every game, including the
Raven-specific blood actors.
- Gave the bullet puff and the axe blood masses of 5 so that the make small
splashes.
- Added A_Light(value) code pointer for DECORATE to generalize the weapon
light effect.
- Added 'noskillmenu' option to MAPINFO episode definitions. This is for
WADs that want to implement a skill selection level.
- Added APROP_ChaseGoal and APROP_Frightened actor properties for ACS.
- Added MF5_CHASEGOAL flag that makes monsters to go after their goal even
if they have a valid target.
- Fixed some issues with the changes to P_NewChaseDir I made to include
MBF's dropoff logic.
- Added a PowerFrightener powerup class. It seemed like such a waste to
have this cool feature but no means to use it in a decent fashion.
- Fixed: S_Init and S_ParseSndInfo should call atterm only once but not
each time they are called.
SVN r112 (trunk)
string. With strings being passed as names this is unsafe.
- Removed unused parameter types from the function parameter parser for
DECORATE.
- Changed: All actor name parameters in DECORATE are now passed as
FNames, not as strings.
- Fixed: The MAPINFO parser stored the RedirectType as a type pointer.
But at this point DECORATE hasn't been read yet so this was limited to
the internal classes.
- Fixed: TXT_NEED_IDCARD wasn't terminated with a ';'.
- Fixed: Strife's DeadRebel was missing its DoomEdNum.
- With names as type identifiers it is no longer necessary to remap
the monster types to internal constants in A_BossDeath.
- Fixed: A_BossDeath got the string from a name - just to get a name from
the string. Using the name directly is sufficient.
SVN r103 (trunk)
- Fixed: Names in terrain definitions were never freed. Replacing them with
FNames would have been a good idea anyway.
- Fixed: The lock definitions were never freed.
- Fixed: FDoorAnimation was missing a destructor.
- Fixed: animation and switch definitions were never freed.
- Replaced all other places where FindType was used with FNames with
IFindType.
SVN r90 (trunk)
- Fixed: If you want to use a name as the missile parameter for the basic
attack functions the type search in DoAttack must be case insensitive.
- Fixed: APowerup::DoEffect must do more thorough checks before resetting
the fixed colormap.
SVN r89 (trunk)
- Fixed: FDoomEdMap needed a destructor.
- Fixed: Decal animators were never freed.
- Fixed: Colormaps were never freed.
- Fixed: Memory allocated in R_InitTranslationTables() was never freed.
- Fixed: R_InitParticles() allocated way more memory than it needed to. (And the
particle memory was never freed, either.)
- Fixed: FMetaTable::FreeMeta() should use delete[] to free string metadata.
- Fixed: FConfigFile::ClearCurrentSection() must cast the entry to a char *
before deleting it, because that's the way it was allocated.
- Fixed definitions of DeadZombieMan and DeadShotgunGuy in doom/deadthings.txt.
Skip_super resets the dropitem list, so having it after "DropItem None" is
pointless.
- Fixed: Decorate DropItem information was never freed.
- Fixed: FinishStates() allocated even 0-entry state arrays.
- Fixed: Default actor instances were never freed.
- Fixed: FRandomSoundList never freed its sound list.
- Fixed: Level and cluster strings read from MAPINFO were never freed.
- Fixed: Episode names were never freed.
- Fixed: InverseColormap and GoldColormap were never freed. Since they're always
allocated, they can just be arrays rather than pointers.
- Fixed: FFont destructor never freed any of the character data or the font's name.
- Fixed: Fonts were not freed at exit.
- Fixed: FStringTable::LoadLanguage() did not call SC_Close().
- Fixed: When using the -iwad parameter, IdentifyVersion() did not release the
buffer it created to hold the parameter's path.
SVN r88 (trunk)
- Added a misc/secret sound definition for Heretic.
- Fixed: Powered up weapons were not properly deselected when the level ended
and their ready state was different from the main weapon's.
- Made some improvements to A_CountdownArg.
- Removed the 'Yes', 'No' and 'Greetings' state assignment commands. They haven't
been documented and thus haven't been used at all so far. Therefore they don't
need to be handled considering that they will go away anyway.
- Changed the DECORATE state parser so that Stop can also be specified right after
a label, in addition to goto.
SVN r84 (trunk)
- Converted a_zombie.cpp and most of a_strifestuff.cpp to DECORATE.
- Converted a_strifekeys.cpp to DECORATE and moved the pickup messages to the
string table.
- Removed the WIF_HITS_GHOSTS weapon flag and replaced it with MF2_THRUGHOST.
There is no need to keep two flags around with virtually the same meaning.
- Changed the ShadowArmor to use the VISIBILITYPULSE flag to change its translucency.
It looks much better now than the cheap code pointer based blinking it used before.
- Converted most of a_strifeitems.cpp to DECORATE and moved the pickup messages
to the string table.
- Converted a_strifearmor.cpp to DECORATE and moved the pickup messages to the
string table.
- Moved the messages for killing spectres to the string table.
- Converted the quest items to DECORATE. Also changed A_GiveQuestItem to get
the messages it prints from the string table instead of the quest item's tag
string.
May 5, 2006 (Changes by Graf Zahl)
- Removed the hopelessly outdated thingdef_doc.txt file from the repository.
- Converted a_peasant.cpp and a_ratbuddy.cpp to DECORATE.
- Fixed: C_DoKey didn't treat an empty string as 'no binding' when checking for
valid double bindings.
- Converted a_merchants.cpp to DECORATE.
- Added MF5_NODAMAGE flag to generalize the behavior of Strife's merchants which
can be shot but take no damage from getting hurt.
- Converted a_beggars.cpp to DECORATE.
- Added an Inventory.GiveQuest property. This makes it possible to define all of
Strife's original items that also give a quest item in DECORATE but it is also
useful to define items like the ones in Day of the Acolyte without ugly workarounds.
- Added a Tag property and Strife teaser conversation IDs to DECORATE so now it is
possible to define many of Strife's items.
- Added a FastSpeed property to DECORATE so that projectiles can finally be
assigned a higher speed for fast mode.
- Added a ACS_LockedExecuteDoor special. It is basically the same as the existing
ACS_LockedExecute but it uses the 'door' message instead of 'remote'. This
cannot be integrated into ACS_LockedExecute because all its arguments are already
in use.
- Added a fully customizable A_CustomMeleeAttack function for DECORATE.
SVN r83 (trunk)
its tiles are loaded from the same directory.
- RFF files now load their entire directories into the lumplist.
- Added char * and const char * type coversions for FString, so FStrings can be
freely passed to functions expecting C strings. (Except varargs functions,
which still require manually fetching the C string out of it.)
- Renamed the name class to FName.
- Renamed the string class to FString to emphasize that it is not std::string.
SVN r74 (trunk)
- Removed doom.x, heretic.x and strife.x from the SVN repository. These
are generated files.
- Fixed: A_PainDie has to check whether a valid target exists before
calling IsFriend.
- Fixed: FDecalLib::FindAnimator needs a signed counter to work properly.
May 1, 2006 (Changes by Graf Zahl)
- Added support for game specific pickup messages, if only to be able
to define Raven's invulnerability item in DECORATE.
- Removed A_TreeDeath because it is no longer used.
- Fixed: When picking up a PowerupGiver for an active powerup the
blend color and the duration were transferred to a temorary item
and never took effect. They have to be trnasferred to the newly created
powerup item before trying to give it to the player, not afterward.
- Made the colormap of the InvulnerabilitySphere item specific.
The base power class still needs to have its color adjusted
per game though and since Raven's invulnerability item is used in both
Hexen and Heretic it can't define its own colormap/blend.
- Separated the invulnerability colormaps from the game being played
and made them item specific. They can also be specified as regular
blend colors in DECORATE now.
- Converted a_hereticarmor.cpp and most of a_doomartifacts.cpp,
a_hereticartifacts.cpp and a_heretickeys.cpp to DECORATE.
- Changed the Soulsphere to be a real health item with the Dehacked
modifications made in d_dehacked.cpp as for most other items which
need to be adjusted.
- Added IF_BIGPOWERUP flag to AInventory to expose the RESPAWN_SUPER
dmflag to DECORATE. Also removed the now obsolete ShouldRespawn methods
from AInvulnerabilitySphere and ABlurSphere.
- Converted a_splashes.cpp to DECORATE.
- Converted most of a_debris.cpp to DECORATE.
SVN r73 (trunk)
- Fixed the issues with .96x's railgun code and added it to the current
version.
- Fixed: Setting of the friendly Minotaur's angle was inconsistent and
could cause it to move backwards in a féw situation.
- Fixed: The minotaur did checks for type by checking for the MF_FRIENDLY
flag, not by checking for the actor class. That made it impossible to
spawn friendly 'normal' minotaurs.
- Moved a few virtual methods which are only applicable to the friendly
minotaur to AMinotaurFriend.
- Fixed: The friendly minotaur checked the master's health instead of
the target's when deciding whether to switch targets. Replaced with
MF4_NOTARGETSWITCH.
- Fixed: maybedrawnow must not draw the console unless the background
texture has been set up.
SVN r66 (trunk)
- Added multiple-choice sound sequences. These overcome one of the major
deficiences of the Hexen-inherited SNDSEQ system while still being Hexen
compatible: Custom door sounds can now use different opening and closing
sequences, for both normal and blazing speeds.
- Added a serializer for TArray.
- Added a countof macro to doomtype.h. See the1's blog to find out why
it's implemented the way it is.
<http://blogs.msdn.com/the1/articles/210011.aspx>
- Added a new method to FRandom for getting random numbers larger than 255,
which lets me:
- Fixed: SNDSEQ delayrand commands could delay for no more than 255 tics.
- Fixed: If you're going to have sector_t.SoundTarget, then they need to
be included in the pointer cleanup scans.
- Ported back newer name code from 2.1.
- Fixed: Using -warp with only one parameter in Doom and Heretic to
select a map on episode 1 no longer worked.
- New: Loading a multiplayer save now restores the players based on
their names rather than on their connection order. Using connection
order was sensible when -net was the only way to start a network game,
but with -host/-join, it's not so nice. Also, if there aren't enough
players in the save, then the extra players will be spawned normally,
so you can continue a saved game with more players than you started it
with.
- Added some new SNDSEQ commands to make it possible to define Heretic's
ambient sounds in SNDSEQ: volumerel, volumerand, slot, randomsequence,
delayonce, and restart. With these, it is basically possible to obsolete
all of the $ambient SNDINFO commands.
- Fixed: Sound sequences would only execute one command each time they were
ticked.
- Fixed: No bounds checking was done on the volume sound sequences played at.
- Fixed: The tic parameter to playloop was useless and caused it to
act like a redundant playrepeat. I have removed all the logic that
caused playloop to play repeating sounds, and now it acts like an
infinite sequence of play/delay commands until the sequence is
stopped.
- Fixed: Sound sequences were ticked every frame, not every tic, so all
the delay commands were timed incorrectly and varied depending on your
framerate. Since this is useful for restarting looping sounds that got
cut off, I have not changed this. Instead, the delay commands now
record the tic when execution should resume, not the number of tics
left to delay.
SVN r57 (trunk)
- Changed: Decal scales now use full precision fixed point numbers.
- Changed: Keeping impact decals in their own statlist is enough to keep track
of them for when one needs to be destroyed. There's no need to maintain a
separate list for them.
- Fixed: Decal actors did not spread their decals across neighboring walls.
- Fixed: Decal groups did not initialize their IDs and could not be reliably
used with the decal actor.
- Fixed: Decals on moving polyobjects were not interpolated. R_RenderDecal()
now uses the decal's LeftDistance to calculate its visible location, so it
always stays in sync with the wall's vertices. This also lets me dump some
code from the polyobjects that maintained the decals' (x, y) coordinates.
Also, the decals' x and y information is redundant and can be removed.
Doing this revealed a bug with slider decals and horizontal sliding:
That is, it didn't work at all. I have opted to simply remove the horizontal
sliding support so that I don't have to worry about what happens when a
decal slides across the edge of a wall.
- Fixed: DBaseDecal::LeftDistance was calculated as a 30.2 fixed point number.
It should be 2.30 fixed point.
SVN r35 (trunk)
behavior.
- Fixed fix: ParseActorProperties() still wasn't sending + or - to
ActorFlagSetOrReset().
- Fixed: [GZ] An item without use state won't be removed when being picked up.
The call to GoAwayAndDie is missing.
- Fixed: [GZ] A_GiveInventory sets the amount to give to a value passed to
this function. This is ok for everything except Health items. They should
give their original amount multiplied with the passed parameter.
- Fixed: Potential buffer overrun when launching timidity.
SVN r21 (trunk)
ParseActorProperties().
- Fixed: The decorate FindFlag() function returned flags from ActorFlags
instead of the passed flags set.
- Fixed: The CHT_CHAINSAW, CHT_POWER, CHT_HEALTH, and CHT_RESSURECT needed
NULL player->mo checks.
- Fixed: The "give all" command didn't give the backpack in Doom, and it
must give the backpack before giving ammo.
- Fixed: P_SetPsprite() must not call the action function if the player is
not attached to an actor. This can happen, for instance, if the level is
destroyed while the player is holding a powered-up Phoenix Rod. As part
of its EndPowerup() function, it sets the psprite to the regular version,
but the player actor has already been destroyed.
- Fixed: FinishThingdef() needs to check for valid names, because weapons
could have inherited valid pointers from their superclass.
- Fixed: fuglyname didn't work.
- Fixed: Redefining $ambient sounds leaked memory.
- Added Jim's crashcatcher.c fix for better shell support.
- VC7.1 seems to have no trouble distinguishing between passing a (const
TypeInfo *) reference to operator<< and the generic, templated (object *)
version, so a few places that can benefit from it now use it. I believe
VC6 had problems with this, which is why I didn't do it all along. The
function's implementation was also moved out of dobject.cpp and into
farchive.cpp.
- Fixed: UnpackPixels() unpacked all chunks in a byte, which is wrong for the
last byte in a row if the image width is not an even multiple of the number
pixels per byte.
- Fixed: P_TranslateLineDef() should only clear monster activation for secret
useable lines, not crossable lines.
- Fixed: Some leftover P_IsHostile() calls still needed to be rewritten.
- Fixed: AWeaponHolder::Serialize() wrote the class type in all circumstances.
SVN r20 (trunk)
- Fixed: AExplosiveBarrel should have MF2_MCROSS set.
- Fixed: Passing 0 numrays to A_BFGSpray should default to 40.
- Fixed: New A_JumpIfCloser() function.
- Future-proofing: thingdef.cpp/FindState() allows the 2.1 names for
SwitchingDecorations.
- Fixed: ASwitchingDecoration declared itself as deriving from AActor instead of
ASwitchableDecoration.
- Fixed: AWeaponHolder::Serialize() did not call its supermethod.
