It makes little sense exposing every minute detail of this through UDMF.
Setting it up that way is far too complicated. Using virtual textures that map to a real texture plus a colorization record should be far easier to use by mappers.
This also doesn't piggyback on the Doom64 color feature anymore and is completely separate, despite some redundancies.
This is still missing the texture definition part, though.
- Implement page string names for dialog lumps
- Create special new GZDoom name space for ZSDF
- add usdf_gzdoom spec document
- fixed: restored original behavior with negative conversation id's for the original strife dialog lumps
- reposition the binary strife fix in a more appropriate location
- add compatibility fix for negative numbers in responses in USDF/ZSDF (don't know if it's actually necessary)
Add 'useowncoloradd_{top,mid,bottom}' sidedef properties to the UDMF
spec
Only use side's additive colors if 'useowncoloradd_(top|mid|bottom)' is
set.
Rename UseOwnColors flag to UseOwnSpecialColors
Add UseOwnAdditiveColor flag to side_t::part
Add EnableAdditiveColor to side_t
Add Side.EnableAdditiveColor to ZScript API
* Colors can npw be defined per sidedef, not only per sector.
* Gradients can be selectively disabled or vertically flipped per wall tier.
* Gradients can be clamped to their respective tier, i.e top and bottom of the tier, not the front sector defines where it starts.
The per-wall colors are implemented for hardware and softpoly renderer only, but not for the classic software renderer, because its code is far too scattered to do this efficiently.
With no 3D floors this appears to be ok, but there are so many places where colormaps are being set in the software renderer that I cannot guarantee that I got all of them correct. This will need some testing.
- do not resolve the backdrop texture to a texture ID at load time. This will allow custom menu classes to use this info differently.
- added a new ZSDF userstring property to dialog pages to give mods more means for customization.
- allow overriding the conversation menu class both globally through MAPINFO and per conversation in ZSDF.
- for explicitly defined glows, use the one for the current animation frame, if an animated texture is active. For default glows it will still use the base texture's to avoid inconsistencies.
Changed a description in usdf_zdoom.txt to be more truthful. It's not just one new field anymore.
(I really should learn to read these things before changing them.)
'ceilingterrain' is needed because the top of 3D-floors refers to the model sector's ceiling, so in order to give a 3D floor a terrain it must be assignable to the sector's ceiling.
Note that although it is basically the same property, its actual function bears no relevance to its use in Eternity.
- major overhaul of the static sector damage system:
* consolidated special based damage, Sector_SetDamage and UDMF properties into one set of damage properties. The parallel handling that could lead to double damage infliction was removed. This also means that damage through sector specials can be retroactively changed through Sector_SetDamage.
* all special cases were turned into flags. The new system can switch between Strife's delayed damage and regular damage, and it can also set whether terrain splashes are used or not. It also has access to the special properties of the end-level type (i.e. switching off god mode and ending the level.)
* the damage related flags are accessible through Sector_ChangeFlags, not the damage functions themselves.
