- disabled the Build map loader after finding out that it has been completely broken and nonfunctional for a long time. Since this has no real value it will probably removed entirely in an upcoming commit.
It will now store the level numbers that lock a string instead of just incrementing a counter. This should make it more robust because each level can lock a string only once and some possible leftover garbage data won't be able to cause a lock decrease when a savegame is being reloaded.
It is utterly pointless to require every function that wants to make a VM call to allocate a new stack first. The allocation overhead doubles the time to set up the call.
With one stack, previously allocated memory can be reused. The only important thing is, if this ever gets used in a multithreaded environment to have the stack being declared as thread_local, although for ZDoom this is of no consequence.
- eliminated all cases where native code was calling other native code through the VM interface. After scriptifying the game code, only 5 places were left which were quickly eliminated. This was mostly to ensure that the native VM function parameters do not need to be propagated further than absolutely necessary.
It's about time this stuff is getting cleaned up seriously. Both a_pickups.cpp and a_artifacts.cpp are so overstuffed that it has become a chore finding stuff in there.
- Changed the glass shards so that they do not have to override FloorBounceMissile. It was the only place where this was virtually overridden and provided little usefulness.
- made 'out' variables work.
- fixed virtual call handling for HandlePickup.
Needless to say, this is simply too volatile and would require constant active maintenance, not to mention a huge amount of work up front to get going.
It also hid a nasty problem with the Destroy method. Due to the way the garbage collector works, Destroy cannot be exposed to scripts as-is. It may be called from scripts but it may not be overridden from scripts because the garbage collector can call this function after all data needed for calling a scripted override has already been destroyed because if that data is also being collected there is no guarantee that proper order of destruction is observed. So for now Destroy is just a normal native method to scripted classes
This bypasses a declaration in the script in favor of a simpler implementation. In order to work it is always necessary to have an offset table to map the variables to, but doing it fully on the native side only requires adding the type to the declaration.
Daedalus triggers this with a 0x85 character which in Windows CP 1252 is the ellipsis (...) The converter will assume ISO-8859-1, though, but cannot do anything with these characters because they map to the font being used here.
This was probably responsible for some weird behavior recently, but with the addition of the OF_Transient flag this outright crashed because it left NULL pointers on reload in places where they weren't checked for.
* everything related to scripting is now placed in a subdirectory 'scripting', which itself is separated into DECORATE, ZSCRIPT, the VM and code generation.
* a few items have been moved to different headers so that the DECORATE parser definitions can mostly be kept local. The only exception at the moment is the flags interface on which 3 source files depend.
After testing with a savegame on ZDCMP2 which is probably the largest map in existence, timing both methods resulted in a speed difference of less than 40 ms (70 vs 110 ms for reading all sectory, linedefs, sidedefs and objects).
This compares to an overall restoration time, including reloading the level, precaching all textures and setting everything up, of approx. 1.2 s, meaning an increase of 3% of the entire reloading time.
That's simply not worth all the negative side effects that may happen with a method that highly depends on proper code construction.
On the other hand, using random access means that a savegame version change is only needed now when the semantics of a field change, but not if some get added or deleted.
- do not I_Error out in the serializer unless caused by a programming error.
It is better to let the serializer finish, collect all the errors and I_Error out when the game is known to be in a stable enough state to allow unwinding.
It turned out this may not be done automatically when opening the savegame - it has to be done later, after the pre-spawned map thinkers and all connected objects have been destroyed.
The object deserializer also has to be rather careful about dealing with parse errors, because if something goes wrong a whole batch of uninitialized or partially initialized objects will be left behind to destroy.
This means that no object class may assume that anything but the default constructor has been run on it and needs to check any variable it may reference.
- fixed a few errors in the ACS module serializer.
- reordered a few things to how they were in the old code.
- optimized serialization of the level.Scrolls array to happen within the sector. This is to allow skipping 0-entries which normally constitute the vast majority of them.
The way this was done was a major headache inducer, requiring reconstruction of the function each time the value was changed and in general made actor damage a major hassle.
There was a DECORATE wrapper to mimic the original behavior but this looked quite broken because it completely ignored the different semantics of both damage calculation types.
It also made it impossible to determine if damage was a function or a value.
This accessor has been reverted to what it should be, only returning the constant, which now is -1 for a damage function. I am sorry if this may break the odd mod out but a quick look over some DECORATE-heavy stuff showed that this was never combined in any of them so that accessing 'damage' in DECORATE code depended on an actual damage function.
To get proper damage, a future commit will add a DECORATE function which calls AActor::GetMissileDamage.
int SetActorFlag(int tid, str flagname, bool value);
- Mimics DECORATE's A_ChangeFlag
- Returns number of actors affected (number of things with the flag)
- Affects activator if TID is 0
# Conflicts:
# src/p_acs.cpp
It acts as a simple wrapper around P_DamageMobj which can damage a
single actor, but can also set the actor inflicting the damage. It
returns the amount of damage actually done, or -1 if the damaging was
cancelled.
bool CheckActorState(int tid, str statename, bool exact = false);
- Same parameter order as SetActorState
- Returns true if actor has the state; else returns false
SPF_NOTIMEFREEZE processes particles with this flag regardless of time freeze. The endsize parameter changes the scale of the particle to that size throughout its lifetime linearly.
- If the two strings compared both point to the same location in memory,
then we know they are the same string without having to bother actually
comparing their contents. Note that the opposite is not neccessarily
true: If they point to two different locations, they could still match a
case-sensitive comparison because there are still two ACS string tables:
the one that belongs to the map's script and the one that belongs to
everything else.
In some places, P_UndoPlayerMorph was called with the 'force' argument placed in the 'unmorphflag' parameter, so that 'forced' unmorphs would be not completely forceful.
I hope no mod relied on this weirdness...
The only reason this even existed was that ZDoom's original VC projects used __fastcall. The CMake generated project do not, they stick to __cdecl.
Since no performance gain can be seen by using __fastcall the best course of action is to just remove all traces of it from the source and forget that it ever existed.
- Since DECORATE already allows reading all declared variables in a class,
where's the utility in keeping this restriction in ACS?
- Variables must still be numeric types.
- SetUserVariable is still restricted to user variables only.
* Added falloff parameter to A_QuakeEx.
- Treated just like A_Explode's 'fullradiusdamage' parameter, where the quake will fall off from this distance on out to the edge. Default is 0, which means no falloff.
- Credits to MaxED and Michaelis for helping.
* - Added HighPoint parameter to QuakeEx.
- Allows fine tuning of where the quake's maximum or minimum occurs, in tics. This must be a range between [1, duration).
- For up or down scaling quakes, this sets the quake to reach maximum sooner or start minimizing later.
- For both, this indicates when the strongest will occur. Default is 0, or in the middle.
The original commits were nearly impossible to find in the convoluted commit tree, so I think it's preferable to have one clean commit instead.
- started converting g_hexen.
Most importantly this removes CHolyWeave as it is just a specialized version of A_Weave with far more convoluted use of parameters.
- replaced some uses of FRACUNIT with OPAQUE when it was about translucency.
- simplified some overly complicated translucency multiplications in the SBARINFO code.
- Converted P_MovePlayer and all associated variables to floating point because this wasn't working well with a mixture between float and fixed.
Like the angle commit this has just been patched up to compile, the bulk of work is yet to be done.
Patched up everything so that it compiles without errors again. This only addresses code related to some compile error. A large portion of the angle code still uses angle_t and converts back and forth.
To allow processing the hit through an arbitrary portal without reference to the portal group table, P_AimLineAttack and P_LineAttack need to pass some more info than just the linetarget.
We need the relative positions of shooter and target within the visual reference of the other to calculate proper angles and we need to know if such a portal was crossed at all, because a few things, e.g. seeker missiles won't work with them.
- fixed setup of target acquisition for the Mage Staff.
The pre-acquired seeker target was never passed to the spawned projectiles.
- some consolidation in p_map.cpp. PIT_CheckLine and PIT_FindFloorCeiling had quite a bit of redundancy which has been merged.
- čontinued work on FMultiBlockLinesIterator. It's still not completely finished.
This was to resolve some circular dependencies with the portal code.
The most notable changees:
* FTextureID was moved from textures.h to doomtype.h because it is frequently needed in files that don't want to do anything with actual textures.
* split off the parts from p_maputl into a separate header.
* consolidated all blockmap related data into p_blockmap.h
* split off the polyobject parts into po_man.h
This is to keep some people from jumping the gun on this and preventing the implementation of a proper toggling mechanism.
The feature itself will come back, but differently.
- removed portal setup from Build maps
they don't define it anyway so it makes no sense to have it there. Once this code gets refactored this will be in a different place that's identical for all map types.
This reverts commit 37578f85b3, reversing
changes made to 66f053f131.
After thoroughly checking the submission I had to conclude that it does more things wrong than right so better leave it out.
Fixing this required adding an external list of active stack objects that the garbage collector can access.
A nice side effect: It's no longer necessary to pass around the stack info to various functions that might end up triggering a garbage collection.
