Fullscreen HUD done with the exception of key and inventory bar. I also used the opportunity to make it a bit more resistant against badly designed inventory icons.
Note that the Strife status bar does not draw the health bars yet. I tried to replace the hacky custom texture with a single fill operation but had to find out that all the coordinate mangling for the status bar is being done deep in the video code. This needs to be fixed before this can be made to work.
Currently this is not usable in mods because they cannot initialize custom status bars yet.
This gets only called from within the play code and making it const would block potential use cases that involve changing some internal variables like counters.
Clearscope is a dangerous context and should be limited to the minimum extent possible and preferably be blocked in user code.
This may still need some work on const functions but better have it in now.
The goal is to get rid of PClassPlayerPawn and PClassInventory so that the old assumption that all actor class descriptors have the same size can be restored
This is important to remove some code that seriously blocks optimization of the type table because that can only be done if types do not need to be replaced.
- improved the class pointer to string cast to print the actual type it describes and not the class pointer's own type.
- fixed: The 'is' operator created non-working code when checking the inheritance of a class pointer, it only worked for objects.
- made some changes to PowerMorph to better deal with recursive calls from UndoPlayerMorph. The flag hackery was only needed because the 'alternative' pointers were cleared far too late.
- cleaned up the virtual function interface of APlayerPawn which still had many virtual declarations from old times when class properties were handled through virtual overrides. None of this makes sense these days anymore.
- refactored the ModifyDamage interface to be more scripting friendly.
In general it should be avoided having to call directly into chained inventory functions because they are very problematic and prone to errors. So this got wrapped into a single handler (on AActor, not AInventory!) which will later make it easier to refactor the parameters of ModifyDamage to work better for scripting and avoid the chaining.
- allow switch/case with names.
- fixed break jump target handling for switch/case. This only worked when the break was in the outermost compound statement, those in inner ones were missed.
- added new VARF_Transient flag so that the decision whether to serialize a field does not depend solely on its native status. It may actually make a lot of sense to use the auto-serializer for native fields, too, as this would eliminate a lot of maintenance code.
- defined (u)int8/16 as aliases to the byte and short types (Can't we not just get rid of this naming convention already...?)
- exporting the fields of Actor revealed a few name clashes between them and some global types, so Actor.Sector was renamed to CurSector and Actor.Inventory was renamed to Actor.Inv.
- made APlayerPawn::PlayAttacking(2) virtual script functions so that mods have better control over player animations. Note that these have no native base so they skip the templated interface for managing virtual functions.
- 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.
