- ensure that actor defaults contain a valid virtual table and class pointer so that they can actually use virtual and class-dependent method functions. This is needed for retrieving script variables from them.
- support transient object member variables for information that does not need to be put in a savegame.
- fixed: special initialization of objects needs to pass the proper defaults along, otherwise the parent classes will use their own, inappropriate one.
This was done to ensure it can be properly overridden in scripts without causing problems when called during engine shutdown for the type and symbol objects the VM needs to work and to have the scripted version always run first.
Since the scripted OnDestroy method never calls the native version - the native one is run after the scripted one - this can be simply skipped over during shutdown.
No need to maintain these clunky meta class for one single property. The overhead the mere existence of this class creates is far more than 100 spawned ammo items would cost.
There is no need to serialize AAmmo::DropAmount, this value has no meaning on an already spawned item.
- fixed: When replacing a tentative class, the pointers in the morph objects were not replaced. Instead of adding more ReplaceClassRef methods I chose to integrate this part into the PointerSubstitution mechanism and delete ReplaceClassRef entirely. The code had some oversights anyway that would have caused problems, now that non-actors can be created.
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.
- always make the top level object randomaccess when opening a JSON file for reading. Some things won't work right if this is opened for sequential access.
- 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.
- Instead of tying NoDelay behavior to OF_JustSpawned, use a new actor
flag, MF7_HANDLENODELAY. This only gets cleared once it has actually
been checked by Tick(). This is necessary because freeze mode delays the
initial run of Tick() past the initial spawn, so OF_JustSpawned will no
longer be set when it does the initial tick.
- Delay NoDelay processing if an actor is spawned dormant. Actors spawned
dormant have Deactivate() called before they tick, so MF7_HANDLENODELAY
will remain set as long as an actor is dormant. This allows the NoDelay
handling to occur as expected once it is activated.
become ungodly slow when using mods with complex DECORATE. The GCC debug builds run just
fine, however. Hopefully this is something that can be fixed later with an assembly-optimized
version of the main VM loop, because I don't relish the thought of being stuck with GDB
for debugging.)
- Fixed: The ACS_Named* action specials were erroneously defined as taking strings instead of
names.
- Fixed: Copy-paste error caused FxMultiNameState::Emit to generate code that called
DecoNameToClass instead of DecoFindMultiNameState.
- Updated FxActionSpecialCall::Emit for named script specials.
- Fixed inverted asserts for FxMinusSign::Emit and FxUnaryNotBitwise::Emit.

instead of PClass::m_Types (now PClass::AllClasses).
- Removed ClassIndex from PClass. It was only needed by FArchive, and maps take care of the
problem just as well.
- Moved PClass into a larger type system (which is likely to change some/lots once I try and actually use it and have a better feel for what I need from it).
