taller than 256 pixels. There was a very slight performance hit for this,
but I was able to tweak mvlineasm4 to make it approximately as fast as
before. Interestingly, maskwallscan manages to be nearly as fast as
wallscan despite having to check every pixel for transparency. I'm
tempted to dump all the old masked rendering code and use
(trans)maskwallscan for everything for the sake of simplicity: Only
two functions to maintain for each render style, and much less
complicated supporting code. Currently, I need five different functions
for each rendering style: One traditional column-at-a-time style like
Doom did it originally, two for rt_draw4cols, and two for transmaskwallscan.
(Right now, I have cheated, and just done the ones that can be used
by walls for transmaskwallscan, so the actual number of different functions
isn't quite so high.) For small textures, such as font characters and
far-away sprites, I'm sure maskwallscan is faster than the current code.
For large textures, it's probably still competitive even if it isn't faster.
But considering how similar wallscan and maskwallscan perform, the
difference is probably pretty minimal, and maskwallscan still might come
out ahead due to its simpler overhead.

string. With strings being passed as names this is unsafe.
- Removed unused parameter types from the function parameter parser for
DECORATE.
- Changed: All actor name parameters in DECORATE are now passed as
FNames, not as strings.
- Fixed: The MAPINFO parser stored the RedirectType as a type pointer.
But at this point DECORATE hasn't been read yet so this was limited to
the internal classes.
- Fixed: TXT_NEED_IDCARD wasn't terminated with a ';'.
- Fixed: Strife's DeadRebel was missing its DoomEdNum.
- With names as type identifiers it is no longer necessary to remap
the monster types to internal constants in A_BossDeath.
- Fixed: A_BossDeath got the string from a name - just to get a name from
the string. Using the name directly is sufficient.
SVN r103 (trunk)
- Added support for wrapping midtextures vertically.
- Since zdoom.wad is now zdoom.pk3, the default mapinfos can use full pathnames.
So now they do.
- Fixed: The DSimpleCanvas constructor used a pitch too narrow on screens wider
than 640 pixels when using a non-AMD processor and the processor's L1 cache
line size could not be determined. I think this should fix the issue of
weirdly rendered 8 pixel wide borders on the left and right of the screen that
some people experienced.
- Fixed: The secnodes were never freed.
