- 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.
Notes:
* ADL: The DMX volume model was set as default to unify volumes on all bank. Otherwise, if you will use 'Generic' or 'Win9x', the sound will became too loud than wanted. Each bank has own default volume model which is used when 'Auto' is set.
* ADL: 6 chips is optimal to work with default banks
* OPN: 8 chips are set to provide 48 polyphony channels. (each OPN2 chip has 6 channels only)
* Text files: junk spaces from end of lines are was auto-removed.
There is now a separate MIDI player options menu which is a list of submenus, one for each player (except for OPNMIDI which does not have any options yet.
The text input field for the configs have been removed. Instead it will now present a list of soundfonts that are found in specific locations.
For that it will look in the 'soundfont' directories of the FileSearch.Directories entry of the config.
Acceptable file formats here are SF2 and zipped GUS patch sets. These zipped patch sets need to have a timidity.cfg at the root and refer to all containing data by relative path. References to outside files are not allowed here.
It is still possible to refer to sound fonts elsewhere on the hard drive by manually entering a path at the console - but these won't show in the menu and will get lost if one cycles through the list of available options.
Of the available softsynths, FluidSynth will only list SF", Wildmidi will only list GUS patch sets and Timidity++ and GUS will list both.
Please note that although the GUS synth can read SF2, the output appears to be broken die to some old bug.
* Improved French translation, also covers previously missing strings.
* Adds a string for Borderless Windowed.
* Adds option to enable or disable borderless windowed for Windows only.
These commits had to be manually recreated because somehow the files appaarently ended up with CRLF in the repo which can cause problems with Windows Git and line ending normalization on.
- reordered vid_scalemode modes to be a little neater, having static modes and scalar modes separate, with a buffer in between so new modes can be added in the future without disrupting the current order.
Sadly, some mods are truly careless enough to modify the engine internal menus to add their own things, which should have no business whatsoever in there.
As an example, in a D4D version released in May, the Display Options menu is showing quite a bit of outdated content and missing important settings.
It now works the following way:
(0) - Force off (ZDoom defaults)
(1) - Force on (Doom defaults)
(2) - Auto off (Prefer ZDoom defaults - if DEHACKED is detected with no ZSCRIPT it will turn on) (default)
(3) - Auto on (Prefer Doom defaults - if DECORATE is detected with no ZSCRIPT it will turn off)
It now works the following way:

This fixes the following warnings on startup without configuration file:
Script error, "gzdoom.pk3:menudef.txt" line 1727:

- all 5 settings affected by uiscale have been changed to have the exact same semantics: -1, if supported means special scaling, this is available for HUD and status bar, 0 means to use uiscale, any larger value is a direct scaling factor.
- scaling is cut off when the factor is larger than screenwidth/320 or screenheight/200 because anything larger will definitely not fit.
- a lot of code has been cleaned up and consolidated. Especially the message code had an incredible amount of redundancy.
- all scaling options have been moved into a submenu. This menu is not complete, though - it still requires a special menu widget to convey the intended information without confusing the user.
- better handling of ForceScale for the fullscreen HUD that doesn't mess around with CVARs.
- moved the mug shot into the status bar, because this is global state that needs to be shared between different pieces of code which want to display a mug shot.
- SBARINFO should work off the current status bar settings instead of the ones stored in its script object
- made bluramount also into a gameinfo option
- negative gl_menu_blur cvar now uses gameinfo option, 0 disables it
- removed gl_menu_blur_enabled since gl_menu_blur==0 does that anyway
- made gl_menu_blur default to -1 to use gameinfo option
- add default gameinfo bluramount options
The values were still 8 and 32 respectively which applied to hardware from last decade, but for modern mods these are simply too low. New values are 64 as minimum and 128 as default.
- added script access to a sector's colormap and specialcolors fields. (Writing only through dedicated functions because these fields are render state which may need to trigger some form of refresh if the renderer changes.)
* dynamic lights also work in the true color software renderer and have been moved out of the OpenGL menu.
* created a separate software renderer menu and moved all relevant options there.
* delete non-applicable options when running in legacy mode.
* moved the OpenGL preferences menu one level up to eliminate a two-entry GL top level menu.
