palettes smaller than 256 entries with the shader I wrote for it. Is there
a list of gotchas like this listed some where? I'd really like to see it.
Well, when compiled with SM2.0, the PalTex shader seems to be every-so-
slightly faster on my GF7950GT than the SM1.4 version, so I guess it's a
minor win for cards that support it.
- Fixed: ST_Endoom() failed to free the bitmap it used.
- Added the DTA_ColorOverlay attribute to blend a color with the texture
being drawn. For software, this (currently) only works with black. For
hardware, it works with any color. The motiviation for this was so I could
rewrite the status bar calls that passed DIM_MAP to DTA_Translation to
draw darker icons into something that didn't require making a whole new
remap table.
- After having an "OMG! How could I have been so stupid?" moment, I have
removed the off-by-one check from D3DFB. I had thought the off-by-one error
was caused by rounding errors by the shader hardware. Not so. Rather, I
wasn't sampling what I thought I was sampling. A texture that uses palette
index 255 passes the value 1.0 to the shader. The shader needs to adjust the
range of its palette indexes, or it will end up trying to read color 256
from the palette texture when it should be reading color 255. Doh!
- The TranslationToTable() function has been added to map from translation
numbers used by actors to the tables those numbers represent. This function
performs validation for the input and returns NULL if the input value
is invalid.
- Major changes to the way translation tables work: No longer are they each a
256-byte array. Instead, the FRemapTable structure is used to represent each
one. It includes a remap array for the software renderer, a palette array
for a hardware renderer, and a native texture pointer for D3DFB. The
translationtables array itself is now an array of TArrays that point to the
real tables. The DTA_Translation attribute must also be passed a pointer
to a FRemapTable, not a byte array as previously.
- Modified DFrameBuffer::DrawRateStuff() so that it can do its thing properly
for D3DFB's 2D mode. Before, any fullscreen graphics (like help images)
covered it up.

weapon didn't change back when the powerup expired.
- Fixed: The powered up version of Heretic's Gauntlets missed the proper
state assignments for Ready, Lower and Raise.
- Fixed: The Strife player was missing its pain state.
- Fixed: Revenant missiles couldn't home in on targets with a height lower than
40.
- Fixed: The code which checked for hitscan traces hitting actors from above
and below must test whether the calculated hit position is actually inside
the actor being checked. If it crosses the top/bottom plane outside the
bounding box there can't be a hit.
- Changed: State labels in code pointer calls must now be enclosed in quotation marks.
This was done to ensure compatibility with parsers that will parse these as
identifier-aware script code later.
SVN r554 (trunk)
like doors. This flag is on by default for any monster which was the
previous behavior.
- Optimized the DECORATE flag parser so it can more efficiently handle
the deprecated flags. As a side effect of this optimization the deprecated
flags became usable in A_ChangeFlag again.
- Changed LONGMELEERANGE flag into a MeleeThreshold property.
- Changed SHORTMISSILERANGE flag into a MaxTargetRange property.
- Added Thing_Stop action special.
SVN r517 (trunk)
NetDone.
- moved the DIM_MAP define into v_palette.h so that it can be accessed
from outside the status bar code.
- Fixed: The check for non-swimmable water in UpdateWaterLevel checked for
SECF_UNDERWATER instead of SECF_UNDERWATERMASK.
SVN r514 (trunk)
player's inventory even when they have been used up. If the item also
has an inventory bar icon, it will be drawn darkened when it is
depleted.
SVN r497 (trunk)
- Added APROP_Friendly actor property for ACS.
- Added a new flag, MF2_DONTREFLECT that prevents missiles from being reflected.
- Fixed: ALoreShot::DoSpecialDamage must check whether the shooter is still
present. If it had been removed before the projectile hits its target
a crash could occur.
- Fixed: GetPlayerInfo was missing breaks and always returned 0 as a result.
- Added Grubber's submission for printing key bindings in ACS.
SVN r491 (trunk)
3 new code pointers without general use it was necessary to handle
GiveDefaultInventory consistently for all players without the need to
subclass this function.
- Added a Player.RunHealth property to expose the StrifePlayer's behavior of
not being able to run when its health is below 10.
- Changed APlayerPawn::GiveDefaultInventory so that it always adds a HexenArmor
and a BasicArmor item to the inventory. If these items are not the first ones
added to the inventory anything else that might absorb damage is not guaranteed
to work consistently because their function depends on the order in the inventory.
- Changed handling of APowerup's DoEffect so that it is called from the owner's
Tick function, not the item's. This is so that the order of execution is
determined by the order in the inventory. When done in the item's Tick function
order depends on the global thinker table which can cause problems with the
order in which conflicting powerups apply their effect. Now it is guaranteed
that the item that was added to the inventory first applies its effect last.
- Fixed: Added checks for Speed==0 to A_Tracer and A_Tracer2 because this could
cause a divide by zero.
- Fixed: P_MoveThing must also set the moved actor's previous position to
prevent interpolation of the move.
- Fixed: APowerInvisibility and its subclasses need to constantly update
the owner's translucency information in case of interference between different
subclasses. Also changed Hexen's Cleric's invulnerability mode to disable
the translucency effect if an invisibility powerup is active.
SVN r448 (trunk)
- Renamed the new armor properties to use the same names as Skulltag to avoid
confusion. They still don't need a separate base class as in Skulltag though.
- Added Skulltag-type armor bonus that increases the max amount that can be given
by other armor items.
- Separated all armor related code from a_pickups.cpp into a_armor.cpp.
SVN r427 (trunk)
- Fixed: Due to the changes for custom states the internal weapons shouldn't
define a holdatk state unless it differs from the attack state.
- Fixed: The bot code tried to spawn ACajunBodyNode instead of CajunBodyNode.
- Changed: MF2_BLASTED doesn't work well for players so I had to take it out
of A_BlastRadius.
- Fixed: When MF2_BLASTED was cleared MF2_SLIDE got cleared as well, no matter
whether it was set by default or not. Now the MF2_SLIDE check checks both
flags and the BlastRadius code doesn't set MF2_SLIDE anymore.
SVN r422 (trunk)
warnings. At first, I was going to try and clean them all up. Then I decided
that was a worthless cause and went about just acting on the ones that
might actually be helpful:
C4189 (local variable is initialized but not referenced)
C4702 (unreachable code)
C4512 (assignment operator could not be generated)
SVN r420 (trunk)
cycled through the entire list of actors.
- Reverted AActor::FindState to its R407 version because the change in R408
doesn't compile properly with VC++.
- Changed FIXMAPTHINGPOS further so that it also affects objects that are
not directly on a wall but closer than its radius.
- Changed FIXEDMAPTHINGPOS to move objects completely out of the wall and
adjusted the radii of all affected objects to actually represent half
the sprite's width.
SVN r409 (trunk)
monsters
- Added velocity multiplicators to A_SpawnDebris.
- Changed: A_JumpIfNoAmmo should have no effect for CustomInventory items.
- Fixed: DECORATE jump commands must set the call state's result to 0
even when they have to return prematurely.
- Added obituaries for Strife's and Hexen's monsters.
- Converted Strife's Bishop to DECORATE.
- Added momx, momy and momz variables to the DECORATE expression evaluator.
SVN r404 (trunk)
- Made Hexenarmor factors configurable by DECORATE.
- Added support for selecting the invulnerability mode per item as well.
- Made Invulnerability and Healing radius behavior selectable by player
class instead of hard coding the special behavior to the Hexen classes.
SVN r379 (trunk)
with an FString now.
- Fixed: The music strings in the default level info were never freed and
caused memory leaks when used repeatedly.
- Fixed: The intermusic string in the level info was never freed.
- Fixed: The default fire obituary should only be printed if the damage
came from the environment. If it comes from a monster the monster specific
obituary should be used instead.
- Added custom damage types from the floating point test release.
- Changed Pain Elemental's massacre check. Now A_PainDie checks for the damage
type and doesn't spawn anything if it is NAME_Massacre. A_PainDie can also
be used by other actors so a more generalized approach is needed than hard
coding it into the Pain Elemental.
- Converted a few of Doom's monsters to DECORATE because I couldn't test the
first version of the custom state code with the corpses inheriting from them.
- Added custom states from last year's floating point test release and fixed
some bugs I found in that code. Unfortunately it wasn't all salvageable
and it was easier to recreate some parts from scratch.
SVN r368 (trunk)
affected by armor.
- Added an unfreeze CCMD so that frozen players can be unfrozen for testing.
- Added special death states for projectiles hitting actors.
- Added ACS SetActorPitch/GetActorPitch functions.
- Added cameraheight property for actors.
SVN r359 (trunk)
- If you aren't targeting x86, m_fixed.h only includes basicinlines.h now.
- Moved x64inlines.h into basicinlines.h.
- Replaced uses of __int64 with types from doomtype.h.
- The stop console command no longer ends single player games, just the demo
that was being recorded.
- In C mode, the sc_man parser no longer allows multi-line string constants
without using the \ character to preface the newline character. This makes
it much easier to diagnose errors where you forget the closing quote of a
string.
- Fixed: V_BreakLines() added the terminating '\0' to the last line of the
input string.
- Added font as a parameter to V_BreakLines and removed its keepspace
parameter, which was never passed as anything other than the default.
SVN r331 (trunk)
ReplaceTextures (str old_texture, str new_texture, optional bool not_lower,
optional bool not_mid, optional bool not_upper, optional bool not_floor,
optional bool not_ceiling); and
SectorDamage (int tag, int amount, str type, bool players_only, bool in_air,
str protection_item, bool subclasses_okay);
- Added the vid_nowidescreen cvar to disable widescreen aspect ratio
correction. When this is enabled, the only display ratio available is 4:3
(and 5:4 if vid_tft is set).
- Added support for setting an actor's damage property to an expression
through decorate. Just enclose it within parentheses, and the expression
will be evaluated exactly as-is without the normal Doom damage calculation.
So if you want something that does exactly 6 damage, use a "Damage (6)"
property. To deal normal Doom missile damage, you can use
"Damage (random(1,8)*6)" instead of "Damage 6".
- Moved InvFirst and InvSel into APlayerPawn so that they can be consistantly
maintained by ObtainInventory.
SVN r288 (trunk)
damage is truly thrustless. The 'thrustless' parameter disabled all
thrust done by PIT_RadiusDamage but not the one done by P_DamageMobj.
Also gave Hexen's poison cloud the MF3_BLOODLESSIMPACT flag and made
spawning of blood decals in PIT_RadiusAttack depend on that. Since with
these changes the 'bombthrustless' argument to P_RadiusAttack is no
longer useful I removed it.
SVN r285 (trunk)
- Changed A_AlertMonsters so that it can be placed directly in a weapon state.
- Fixed: Frozen corpses of stealth monsters were invisible.
- Added: Calling Radius_Quake with a tid of 0 now uses the activator
as the quake's center.
SVN r275 (trunk)
class menu was present so instead of starting the game specific skill menu
it always started Hexen's.
- Fixed: When a non-player tried to play a player sound it tried to access
the actor object as an APlayerPawn.
- Changed PlayAttacking2 to always use the melee state instead of different
implementations per player and hard coding it to MissileState+1. Also
changed PlayAttacking for the HereticPlayer to use the same animation as
PlayAttacking2. Now the special handling for Heretic in the FireWeapon
functions can be removed.
For R258:
- Fixed: PlayerStartItem created a duplicate of the item's class name before
converting it into an FName.
- Removed game check for Doom from P_BloodSplatter. The BloodSplatter actor
is compatible with all games now so the explicit handling is no longer needed.
- Moved replacement handling back into AActor::StaticSpawn but controlled
by a (mandatory) parameter. Also added replacement to most other
instances in the game where non-inventory items are spawned. Replacement is safe
nearly everywhere except for inventory related spawns.
- Fixed: Due to the player class inclusion A_NoBlocking never called
NoBlockingSet for monsters.
- Changed: Sounds can be specified by full path now in SNDINFO and S_SKIN.
SVN r259 (trunk)
so now it is available in all games.
- Replaced the call to A_FlameSnd in the HereticPlayer's burn death sequence
with A_FireScream and defined *burndeath for Heretic.
- Added Grubber's custom player class support.
SVN r250 (trunk)
for direct descendants of AWeapon and not for every weapon being defined.
- Changed parsing of actor names back to not use C-mode. This change breaks
any definition that contain periods in their name and apparently there's
more than anyone could expect. Also altered the parser to manually check
for colons inside the parsed string so that placing spaces around them
is no longer necessary.
- Fixed: Weapons could be picked up for ammo even if they gave none.
- Fixed: A_Beacon was missing a NULL pointer check for the beacon's owner.
- Fixed: The status bar tried to access CPlayer->camera without checking
its validity. In spy mode there is a possibility that it is NULL.
SVN r237 (trunk)
yanking the mouse around if they keys haven't been read yet to combat the
same situation that causes the keyboard to return DIERR_NOTACQUIRED in
KeyRead(): The window is sort of in focus and sort of not. User.dll
considers it to be focused and it's drawn as such, but another focused
window is on top of it, and DirectInput doesn't see it as focused.
- Fixed: KeyRead() should handle DIERR_NOTACQUIRED errors the same way it
handles DIERR_INPUTLOST errors. This can happen if our window had the
focus stolen away from it before we tried to acquire the keyboard in
DI_Init2(). Strangely, MouseRead_DI() already did this.
- When a stack overflow occurs, report.txt now only includes the first and
last 16KB of the stack to make it more manageable.
- Limited StreamEditBinary() to the first 64KB of the file to keep it from
taking too long on large dumps.
- And now I know why gathering crash information in the same process that
crashed can be bad: Stack overflows. You get one spare page to play with
when the stack overflows. MiniDumpWriteDump() needs more than that and
causes an access violation when it runs out of leftover stack, silently
terminating the application. Windows XP x64 offers SetThreadStackGuarantee()
to increase this, but that isn't available on anything older, including
32-bit XP. To get around this, a new thread is created to write the mini
dump when the stack overflows.
- Changed A_Burnination() to be closer to Strife's.
- Fixed: When playing back demos, DoAddBot() can be called without an
associated call to SpawnBot(). So if the bot can't spawn, botnum can
go negative, which will cause problems later in DCajunMaster::Main()
when it sees that wanted_botnum (0) is higher than botnum (-1).
- Fixed: Stopping demo recording in multiplayer games should not abruptly
drop the recorder out of the game without notifying the other players.
In fact, there's no reason why it should drop them out of multiplayer at
all.
- Fixed: Earthquakes were unreliable in multiplayer games because
P_PredictPlayer() did not preserve the player's xviewshift.
- Fixed: PlayerIsGone() needs to stop any scripts that belong to the player
who left, in addition to executing disconnect scripts.
- Fixed: APlayerPawn::AddInventory() should also check for a NULL player->mo
in case the player left but somebody still has a reference to their actor.
- Fixed: DDrawFB::PaintToWindow() should simulate proper unlocking behavior
and set Buffer to NULL.
- Improved feedback for network game initialization with the console ticker.
- Moved i_net.cpp and i_net.h out of sdl/ and win32/ and into the main source
directory. They are identical, so keeping two copies of them is bad.
- Fixed: (At least with Creative's driver's,) EAX settings are global and not
per-application. So if you play a multiplayer ZDoom game on one computer
(or even another EAX-using application), ZDoom needs to restore the
environment when it regains focus.
- Maybe fixed: (See http://forum.zdoom.org/potato.php?t=10689) Apparently,
PacketGet can receive ECONNRESET from nodes that aren't in the game. It
should be safe to just ignore these packets.
- Fixed: PlayerIsGone() should set the gone player's camera to NULL in case
the player who left was player 0. This is because if a remaining player
receives a "recoverable" error, they will become player 0. Once that happens,
they game will try to update sounds through their camera and crash in
FMODSoundRenderer::UpdateListener() because the zones array is now NULL.
G_NewInit() should also clear all the player structures.
SVN r233 (trunk)
- Added a PickupMessage property to the internal actor parser, replaced
most of the virtual PickupMessages with it and placed the code that
reads the metadata into AInventory::PickupMessage. Now the
PickupMessage method is truly virtual and I can do:
Added a Health.LowMessage property to define double message items like
Doom's medikit in DECORATE.
- Since defining Mana3 as an ammo type and then overriding the TryPickup
method means that this item defeats all ammo checks in the game it might
as well be defined as a CustomInventory item. At least this fixes the
amount given in easy and very hard skills.
- Converted all ammo items to DECORATE.
- Changed internal property setting of ammo types and sister weapons
to use fuglyname as for DECORATE definitions. This allows to export
the ammo definitions into DECORATE definitions without doing it for
the weapons themselves.
- Replaced obituary methods with actor properties.
- Fixed: The secret map check didn't work for maps inside Zips.
SVN r196 (trunk)
were supposed to hate them.
- Since I was editing the file anyway I added checks for Heretic's and Strife's
damaging floor types to DCajunMaster::IsDangerous.
- Added a NULL pointer check to DCajunMaster::TurnToAng because a crash log
indicated that this can happen.
- Fixed: Strife's energy pod contains 20 units when dropped by monsters.
To achieve this I added an Ammo.DropAmount property because there are
no other means to control this from inside a conversation script.
SVN r151 (trunk)
message. When trying to puke a script outside a map it crashed.
- Fixed: The random number generator for large numbers must mask out the
sign bit before performing a modulo.
- Now that the conversation states are pointers there is no need to make
AActor::ConversationAnimation virtual. No class overrides this method
anymore.
- Replaced AMacil1::TakeSpecialDamage with MF5_NODAMAGE.
- Fixed: AMacil2::TakeSpecialDamage and AOracle::TakeSpecialDamage didn't
check whether inflictor was NULL and crashed when used with 'kill monsters'.
- Fixed: Some Strife decorations didn't loop their animation
SVN r113 (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)
partially because the background patch has to be drawn always to
overwrite the old display.
- Fixed: Giving a health item to a non-player caused a crash.
- Added a compatibility option to limit deh.MaxHealth to the health bonus.
Originally this value wasn't used for health packs. Doing this was a bug
in Boom but since there's quite a few maps out there which require
Boom's altered behavior it has to be compatibility optioned.
- Fixed: The health bonus's max health must be defined by deh.MaxHealth,
not deh.MaxSoulsphere. To achieve this deh.MaxHealth's handling had to
be altered because it has to default to 100.
- Fixed: ZDBSP created incorrect side references with compressed sidedefs
and both sidedefs of a linedef being the same. This only affects the
external tool because the internal node builder is run after uncompressing
the sidedefs.
- Added Jim's latest makefile.linux.
- Added a consistency check to the PNAMES loader because one crash log
indicated that it crashed due to a corrupt PNAMES lump.
- Brought back the sector based sound target handling as a compatibility
option. This radical change just broke far too many maps that depend
on the original behavior. Strife's special AI functions are excluded
though because they work better with the new method.
