- with renderers freely switchable, some shortcuts in the 3D floor code had to be removed, because now the hardware renderer can get FF_THISINSIDE-flagged 3D floors.
- changed handling of attenuated lights in the legacy renderer to be adjusted when being rendered instead of when being spawned. For the software renderer the light needs to retain its original values.
This does not work with a setup where the same backend is driving both renderers.
Most of this is now routed through 'screen', and the decision between renderers has to be made inside the actual render functions.
The software renderer is still driven by a thin opaque interface to keep it mostly an isolated module.
This was originally invented to fix the sprite offsets for the hardware renderer.
Changed it so that it doesn't override the original offsets but acts as a second set.
A new CVAR has been added to allow controlling the behavior per renderer.
This was done mainly to reduce the amount of occurences of the word FTexture but it immediately helped detect two small and mostly harmless bugs that were found due to the stricter type checks.
Since this is a non-standard function it's better kept to as few places as possible, so now DirEntryExists returns an additional flag to say what type an entry is and is being used nearly everywhere where stat was used, excluding a few low level parts in the POSIX code.
- moved timer definitions into their own header/source files. d_main is not the right place for this.
- removed some leftover cruft from the old timer code.
This fixes two issues:
* timer related texture animations are not being recreated multiple times if a scene renders multiple viewpoints (e.g. camera textures or portals.)
* interpolation is smoother when maps have a high think time of multiple milliseconds. A good map to see the difference would be ZDCMP2 which has a think time of 4-5 milliseconds. With the timer taken in real time after the thinkers have run and VSync on this resulted in alternating time slices of 11 and 21 ms between frame interpolations instead of an even 16 as should be done for smooth 60 fps because roughly every second frame was offset by those 5 ms.
This is to ensure that the Class pointer can be set right on creation. ZDoom had always depended on handling this lazily which poses some problems for the VM.
So now there is a variadic Create<classtype> function taking care of that, but to ensure that it gets used, direct access to the new operator has been blocked.
This also neccessitated making DArgs a regular object because they get created before the type system is up. Since the few uses of DArgs are easily controllable this wasn't a big issue.
- did a bit of optimization on the bots' decision making whether to pick up a health item or not.
