- ANIMATED contained definitions for Doom, Heretic, and Strife, all
crammed into a single file. This meant that animations from one game
could erroneously make their way into maps for another game that
provided custom textures with names that matched textures that animated
in the other game. There are now three separate ANIMATED lumps with only
the animations defined for the original game and no others. The one
that gets loaded depends on the game being played.
- Added documentation for the ANIMATED file format to the comment for
FTextureManager::InitAnimated(), since I had to figure it out from the
code.
- fixed a few problems that were encountered during conversion:
* action specials as action functions were not recognized by the parser.
* Player.StartItem could not be parsed.
* disabled the naming hack for PowerupType. ZScript, unlike DECORATE will never prepend 'Power' to the power's name, it always needs to specified by its full name.
* states and defaults were not checked for empty bodies.
* the scope qualifier for goto labels was not properly converted to a string, because it is an ENamedName, not an FName.
- started with the AST converter. So far it only deals with direct function calls with simple constants as parameters.
- added an error condition for the defaults block to get rid of some asserts.
- fixed uninitialized counter variable in DECORATE parser.
- allow dottable_id of xxx.color so that the property parser can parse 'powerup.color'.
- fixed crash with actor replacement in script compiler.
- add the lump number to tree nodes because parts of the property parser need that to make decisions.
- removed test stuff.
- converted inventory.txt, player.txt and specialspot.txt to ZSCRIPT. These were the minimal files required to allow actor.txt to parse successfully.
- removed the converted files from the DECORATE include list so that these are entirely handled by ZSCRIPT now.
- split FinishActor into several functions. While DECORATE can, ZSCRIPT cannot do all this in one go.
- split the state finalization into several class-specific virtual functions.
- Sets the absolute amount of an inventory actor.
- Limits itself to the range [0, MaxAmount]. Setting beyondMax to true disregards the MaxAmount. Default is false.
- switched the types of the internal 'self' and 'stateowner' parameters so that they get assigned correctly. I can't tell if this will error out if fields get accessed from the caller with the wrong class, but for actual scripting to work these must be correct.
The committed 'actor.txt' can be parsed successfully, with the exception of a few subclass references that cannot be resolved yet.
This adds:
* builtin types color, state and sound.
* ending a parameter list with an ellipsis to declare a varargs list. (A_Jump uses this.)
* allowing to declare optional arguments by giving them a default value.
* adding an 'action' qualifier for function declarations.
- fixed: The tree nodes for classes and struct members were stored in the global tree nodes table.
- sort variable declarations into their own list for processing.
This uses a different algorithm as the old implementation - instead of recursively resolving unknown symbols it will first collect all constants from all scopes and then process them in one operation, doing multiple passes over the list until no more constants can be resolved anymore.
- Includes four functions, A_SetSprite(Angle/Rotation) and GetSprite(Angle/Rotation).
- SpriteRotation offsets the angle of the sprite, allowing for actors to move backwards or sideways for example.
- SpriteAngle requires +SPRITEANGLE and sets the actor's sprite to the absolute rotation found at that angle. Overrides SpriteRotation once the flag is on.
- Clears a set of overlays in ranges [start,stop]. If unspecified, wipes all non-hardcoded layers. Safety determines whether to affect core layers or not (i.e. weapon). Returns the number of layers cleared.
Added no override boolean to A_Overlay and a boolean return type.
- If true, and a layer already has an active layer, the function returns false. Otherwise, sets the layer and returns true.
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.
- Source is the actor to blame for the cause of damage (monster infighting for example). For missiles, modders should consider setting to AAPTR_TARGET.
- Inflictor is the actor doing the damage itself. Note that by changing this, it will take into account the flags on the pointed actor.
- Places the weapon offset by the defined x and y. Both are floats. This stacks with weapon bobbing.
- WOF_KEEPX: Don't change the X offset.
- WOF_KEEPY: Don't change the Y offset.
- WOF_ADD: Add onto instead of replacing the coordinates.
- float GetZAt(x, y, angle, flags, pick_pointer);
- Gets the floor z at x distance ahead and y distance to the side in relative form from the calling actor pointer. Flags are as follows (GZF_ prefix):
- CEILING: Returns the ceiling z instead of floor.
- ABSOLUTEPOS: x and y are absolute positions.
- ABSOLUTEANG: angle parameter does not add the pointer's angle to the angle parameter.
- FLATSPRITE: An actor becomes flat as if they were a decal on the floor.
- PITCHFLATSPRITE: A flat sprite tilts up and down based on pitch.
- WALLSPRITE: Similar to a Y billboarded sprite. The degree of the flattening is determined by the FlatAngle property.
- ROLLSPRITE: The sprite of the actor is affected by the Roll property.
Since decals may have thinkers attached this will crash when such a savegame gets loaded, because the thinker lists get reset in P_SerializeThinkers, deleting any thinker that already was processed.
I also added an error message that immediately aborts the save process if such an out-of-sequence thinker is attempted to be written out.
This obviously breaks savegame compatibility again...
The scripting branch changed camera semantics to default to an actor's center - which for monsters and decorations makes sense - but not for simple mapspots that get used as camera. For those the CameraHeight must be explicitly set to 0.
ZDoom defaulted to Boom's (buggy) angle adjustment.
Changed it so that
* Mode 0 is like Hexen, performing no adjustment at all. This still should match all known maps using this special.
* Mode 1 remains unchanged.
* Mode 2 replicates Boom's broken angle adjustment and is used in the xlat file.
* Mode 3 implements the correct angle adjustment that Boom originally intended.
(Note: Should some map require something different it should be handled with compatibility.txt instead of reverting this back to the broken way it was before.)
- This reverts commit 06216d733e.
- I don't know what I was thinking. Since stateowner is always available
to the wrapper function, and this code is only generated for the wrapper
function, it's a nonissue. The state is already located before calling
any function that uses it.
- This reverts commit 39df62b20e.
- Anything that needs to lookup a state also needs stateowner. See
FxMultiNameState::Emit(). I will need to be more selective when
de-actionifying functions.
- An actor function really only needs to be an action function if:
1. It can be called with no parameters specified, either because it takes
none or because all its parameters are optional. This lets SetState()
call it directly without creating a wrapper function for it.
2. It wants access to the callingstate or stateowner parameters. Most
functions don't care about them, so passing them is superfluous.
- Includes 2 flags, affixed by CBF_: AbsolutePos, and AbsoluteAngle.
- AbsolutePos: Absolute position of where to check.
- AbsoluteAngle: Angle parameter is used as is, not added onto the actor's current angle.
* 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.
- 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.
- This is an effort to emphasize that these are just type casts. Now they
look like function-style casts with no action function styling.
They do no magic joojoo at all. The only reason they exist is because
the DECORATE parser can only parse return statements that call a
function, so these satisfy that requirement. i.e. *return int(666);* is
identical to *return 666;* (if the parser could handle the latter).
- Since DECORATE's return statement can only return the results of
function calls (I do not want to spend the time necessary to make it
return arbitrary expressions), here are three functions to get around
this limitation:
* A_State - Returns the state passed to it. You can simulate A_Jump
functions with this.
* A_Int - Returns the int passed to it.
* A_Bool - Returns the bool passed to it.
- e.g. If you want to return the number 3, you use this:
return A_Int(3);
If you want to jump to a different state, you use this:
return A_State("SomeState");
- The A_Jump family of action functions now return the state to jump
to (NULL if no jump is to be taken) instead of jumping directly.
It is the caller's responsibility to handle the jump. This will
make it possible to use their results in if statements and
do something other than jump.
- DECORATE return statements can now return the result of a function
(but not any random expression--it must be a function call). To
make a jump happen from inside a multi-action block, you must
return the value of an A_Jump function. e.g.:
{ return A_Jump(128, "SomeState"); }
- The VMFunction class now contains its prototype instead of storing
it at a higher level in PFunction. This is so that
FState::CallAction can easily tell if a function returns a state.
- Removed the FxTailable class because with explicit return
statements, it's not useful anymore.
* set up linked sector portals so that everything that will eventually have to be considered is present, even though the software renderer currently can't handle those adequately.
* tag all skybox things with a type so that they can easily be distinguished at run time.
* fill in the linked portal types in xlat/eternity.txt.
- having a value of 5000 as the default for autoaim makes no sense, since this is an angle value that will always be clamped to [0..35]. So now 35 is both the default and the maximum.
- SPF_FULLBRIGHT makes the particle full bright.
- SPF_RELATIVE encapsulates the following flags:
- SPF_RELPOS: Position is relative to angle.
- SPF_RELVEL: Velocity is relative to angle.
- SPF_RELACCEL: Acceleration is relative to angle.
- SPF_RELANG: Add caller's angle to angle parameter for relativity.

- CHF_STOPIFBLOCKED simply prevents the actor from changing directions for movement.
- CHF_DONTTURN implies NORANDOMTURN, NOPOSTATTACKTURN and STOPIFBLOCKED.
- CHF_NORANDOMTURN: Actor will not randomly turn during chasing to pursue its target. It will only turn if it cannot keep moving forward.
- CHF_DONTANGLE: Actor does not adjust its angle to match the movement direction.
- CHF_NOPOSTATTACKTURN: Actor will not make its first turn after exiting its attacks.
- NODISTANCE: Disables distance checking.
- CHECKSIGHT: The qualifying actor must be in sight in order to count.
- SET<TARGET/MASTER/TRACER>: Gets the first qualifying actor and sets the calling actor's specified pointer to it.
- SETONPTR: If the function is being aimed at another actor other than the caller, sets that actor's pointers instead. Requires a SET* flag to work.
- FARTHEST: The actor farthest from the checking actor is set as the pointer. Requires a SET* flag to work.
- CLOSEST: The closest qualifying actor is set as the pointer. Requires a SET* flag to work.
- fixed: Sector_SetPortal's Eternity translation was not correct.
The ZDoom variant allows specifying the plane as part of the portal, Eternity does not. Added a new 'plane' type 3 which just means 'any'.
- Checks to see if a certain actor class, in numbers, is close to the actor/pointer via distance, based upon count. Can check for ancestry, disable Z searching, perform less than or equal to instead of greater or equal to, exact counts, check a pointer instead of itself and differentiate between live monsters and dead.
As a side effect this will now allow using custom messages with this function as well by using the arg2 parameter as part of the message's name (arg2=0 will use TXT_COMM0, arg1 TXT_COMM1 and so on.)
- Now includes anglelimit and pitchlimit.
- Anglelimit and pitchlimit only allows the actor to turn this much, similar to A_FaceTarget's limit. FVF_RESETPITCH also respects the pitch limit.
- (offset, anglelimit, pitchlimit, flags, ptr)
- Changes the caller's angle and pitch according to the direction of velocity they're travelling.
- FVF_NOPITCH and FVF_NOANGLE disable changing of pitch/angle respectively and should be counted as mutually exclusive, or the function does nothing.
- FVF_INTERPOLATE - Interpolate's the angle and pitch changes.
- FVF_RESETPITCH will, if there's no z velocity, reset the pitch to 0. Otherwise, the pitch remains unchanged.
