(actors being forced to the ground by instantly moving sectors, strife
railing handling and shooting lines with a non-zero but unassigned tag.)
With UDMF such semantics have to be handled diffently.
- finalized UDMF 1.0 implementation.
- Added Martin Howe's latest morph update.
SVN r987 (trunk)
- Reorganized the HackHack code so that the image creation was moved into
MakeTexture. This was necessary because Unload deleted the pixel data
and broke the whole thing.
- Fixed: FPatchTexture::HackHack and FDoomStatusbarTexture::DrawToBar used the
obsolete and uninitialized variable Near255.
- Removed the span creation code specific to FPatchTexture. It only has an
advantage when the lump has already been loaded in memory but since that
is no longer the case now the generic version in FTexture is actually better.
- Changed: FTexture::CopyToBlock no longer uses the spans but the pixel buffer
directly. Since most patches in multipatch textures are non transparent
the added overhead from creating the spans far outweighs any savings they
might provide. It is also simpler to handle for mirrored or rotated patches now.
- Changed: Textures only create the spans when really needed. Flats and native
textures, for example, do not and it only created needless overhead that they
were always created along with the pixel buffer.
- Made use of player and actor variables consistent in a_hereticweaps.cpp.
- Fixed: A few calls to P_SpawnPlayerMissile passed 0 as angle
SVN r911 (trunk)
- Added support for defining composite textures in HIRESTEX. It is not fully tested
and right now can't do much more than the old TEXTUREx method.
- Added a few NULL pointer checks to the texture code.
- Made duplicate class names in DECORATE non-fatal. There is really no stability
concern here and the worst that can happen is that the wrong actor is spawned.
This was a constant hassle when testing with WADs that contain duplicate resources.
SVN r905 (trunk)
and P_TryMove. Moved BlockingLine and BlockingMobj into AActor because
the global variables can be easily overwritten with certain DECORATE
constructs.
SVN r894 (trunk)
- Fixed some bugs in the HIRESTEX parser.
- Added floating point support and #include and #define tokens to
FParseContext Not used yet.
- replaced the value scanning code in FParseContext::GetToken with
calls to strtol.
SVN r893 (trunk)
Chaos Device. This sound is not defined by the other games so it won't
play by default.
- Added MORPH_UNDOBYTOMEOFPOWER and MORPH_UNDOBYCHAOSDEVICE flags
for the morph style so that the special behavior of these two items
can be switched on and off.
SVN r890 (trunk)
P_FindFloorCeiling never did that.
- Merged Check_Sides and PIT_CrossLine into A_PainShootSkull.
- Replaced P_BlockLinesIterator with FBlockLinesIterator in all places it was
used. This also allowed to remove all the global variable saving in
P_CreateSecNodeList.
- Added a new FBlockLinesIterator class that doesn't need a callback
function because debugging the previous bug proved to be a bit annoying
because it involved a P_BlockLinesIterator loop.
- Fixed: The MBF code to move monsters away from dropoffs did not work as
intended due to some random decisions in P_DoNewChaseDir. When in the
avoiding dropoff mode these are ignored now. This should cure the problem
that monsters hanging over a dropoff tended to drop down.
SVN r887 (trunk)
line.
- Fixed: P_SpawnPuff assumed that all melee attacks have the same range
(MELEERANGE) and didn't set the puff to its melee state if the range
was different. Even worse, it checked a global variable for this so
the behavior was undefined when P_SpawnPuff was called from anywhere
else but P_LineAttack. To reduce the amount of parameters I combined
this information with the hitthing and temporary parameters into one
flags parameter. Also changed P_LineAttack so that it gets passed
an additional parameter that specifies whether the attack is a melee
attack or not and set this to true in all calls that are to be considered
melee attacks. I couldn't use the damage type because A_CustomPunch
and A_CustomMeleeAttack allow passing any damage type they want.
- Added a sprite option as an alternative of particles for FX_ROCKET
and FX_GRENADE.
SVN r879 (trunk)
xlat_parser.y because both files had the same time stamp after an update,
and Lemon only rewrites the header file if it's changed.
- Added $volume SNDINFO command. This is multiplied with the volume the sound
is played at to arrive at the final volume (before distance attenuation).
- Added the CHAN_AREA flag to disable 3D panning within the min distance of a
sound. Sector sound sequences (except doors) use this flag.
- Added the CHAN_LOOP flag to replace the S_Looped* sound functions.
- Restored the sound limiting.
SVN r849 (trunk)
- G_DoSaveGame() now receives the filename and description from its arguments
rather than global variables, so autosaves and manual saves can be done
in close proximity to each other without overwriting the parameters for
one of them.
- Fixed potential buffer overrun in G_SaveGame() and added a check so that
you can't interfere with saves that are still pending.
- Fixed: P_LineAttack() creates temporary puffs to get damage types, but this
had the side effect of creating particles for the puff.
- Fixed: The Heretic status bar tried to use the graphic "SELECTBOX" for the
inventory selector. The correct name is "SELECTBO".
- Fixed: Using allowrespawn for a single-player map would fire off enter
scripts instead of respawn script because the player wasn't assigned the
state PST_REBORN.
- Fixed: P_CheckMissileSpawn() now passes the BlockingMobj to
P_ExplodeMissile() so that it can select the appropriate death state.
- Added the manifest to MinGW-compiled builds of updaterevision so you can
build under Vista with MinGW without needing administrative privileges.
(But I still want to know why Vista thinks it needs elevated privileges
without a manifest telling it otherwise.)
- Using four 0xFF bytes for the final note of an IMF song should signal the
end of the song.
SVN r733 (trunk)
- Bumped the maximum resolution up to 2560x1600.
- Fixed: DCanvas::DrawTexture() only expanded virtual screen sizes for widescreen
resolutions but left 5:4 modes alone. This fix neccessitated the addition of
DTA_Bottom320x200 for the status bar to use so that it could be flush with the
bottom of the screen rather than sitting slightly above it.
- Fixed: FConfigFile::ReadConfig()'s definition of whitespace was too broad.
- Fixed: Defining custom translation ranges in descending order and/or with gaps
made for crashes.
SVN r676 (trunk)
- Moved the common code of ACS and DECORATE translation generation into the
FRemapTable class.
- Fixed: The DECORATE translation code was not changed for the new data structures.
- Expanded range of ACS and DECORATE translations to 65535.
- Fixed: R_CopyTranslation was not altered for the new functionality.
I removed the function and replaced the one use with a simple assignment.
SVN r644 (trunk)
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.
SVN r640 (trunk)
passing renderer specific data to the function. Also added DTA_Font so
that the renderer can fetch font translations from the proper font.
DIM_MAP/ConShade had to be made a regular translation table to make it
work.
- Added Karate Chris's fix for scoreboard displaying team play related data
in non teamplay games.
- Fixed: The team selection menu didn't work.
- Fixed: UpdateTeam passed an FString to Printf.
SVN r623 (trunk)
- Fixed: At resolutions taller than 600 pixels or so, tall sky textures were
drawn a row too low. This was quite visible on Hexen MAP06.
- Fixed: P_CheckSlopeWalk() must return false if floorsector != sector, or
the actor will be yanked down to the floorsector by P_TryMove().
- Fixed: ClearActorInventory, GiveActorInventory, and TakeActorInventory
only affected the first actor with the given TID.
- Fixed: The color boxes for the colorpicker menu items were drawn a little
too low.
SVN r603 (trunk)
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)
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)
- 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)
APlayerPawn::GiveDefaultInventory gave him some HexenArmor even though
he doesn't need it.
- Added custom blood type properties to DECORATE.
- Converted Blood to DECORATE and made some minor changes to the code
in preparation for custom blood types.
- Converted the bot helper things to DECORATE.
- Added damage type specific crash states.
SVN r395 (trunk)
not even zvox.wad or the skins directory.
- Minor improvement of Hexen's Demons: They now transfer the translation
to the chunks they spawn so that they look correct if they are color
translated. See Resurrection of Chaos for an example.
- Converted Key gizmos to DECORATE.
- Converted Heretic's Beast (Weredragon) to DECORATE.
- Added a randomness parameter to A_SpawnItemEx. This allows
spawning objects with a random chance without the need to write
complicated A_Jump constructs.
- Converted Heretic's Mummy to DECORATE.
- Converted Hexen's Demons to DECORATE.
SVN r393 (trunk)
- Added MissSound parameter to A_CustomMeleeAttack.
- Converted Heretic's Snake (Ophidian) to DECORATE.
- Added an option to A_CustomMissile to jump to the see state if
the caller's target is dead.
- Fixed: A_ThrowGrenade didn't play the missile's spawn sound.
- Added MF_SPAWNSOUNDSOURCE flag so that Raven's missile spawning code
pointers can be recreated with DECORATE.
- Converted a_ravenambient.cpp to DECORATE.
SVN r388 (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)
- Added VSpeed DECORATE property so that an actor can be given an initial
vertical speed.
- Removed the barrel check in P_DamageMobj. AActor::Die is doing the same
operation unconditionally so this is redundant.
- Added A_BarrelDestroy to the list of DECORATE code pointers so that
the same effect can be recreated for other items as well.
- Renamed A_BarrelRespawn to A_Respawn, changed it so that it works for
monsters and added it to the list of DECORATE code pointers. Now Quake-style
zombies should be possible. ;)
- Changed handling of MF4_RANDOMIZE so that it applies to all actors being
spawned and not just projectiles.
- Converted Berserk and Megasphere to DECORATE.
- Fixed: HealThing should respect the stamina a player has and the Dehacked
health compatibility flag if max is 0. To do that it calls P_GiveBody now.
SVN r373 (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)
The lump is open anyway at that time so deferring this action until the information
is needed doesn't give any speed improvements. Now GetDimensions and all its
associated overhead is gone.
- Added support for TGA textures. It can handle all of the common variations
of this format.
- Changed: GI_PAGESARERAW is no longer checked. It wasn't really necessary before
because the chance of texture misidentification is absolutely minimal.
But raw pages are now restricted to textures of type TEX_MiscPatch only.
- Changed the automap parchment to use a regular texture. The previous
FAutomapTexture is only used as a last resort fallback now. If the code
finds a recognizable graphic it will create a proper texture for it now.
- Fixed: Flats were only auto-scaled when in Doom flat format.
- Fixed: FMultiPatchTexture::CheckForHacks blindly assumed that all patches
were FPstchTextures. Since the texture code does not have any type information
I added a new flag bIsPatch for this purpose.
- Moved all texture classes into their own source files and created a new
subdirectory 'textures' for that.
- Cleaned up the texture management code and added some stricter checks for
the validity of Doom patches. The old code liked to crash when being passed
some non-graphic data.
SVN r300 (trunk)
be a default setting.
- Moved a_artiegg.cpp to g_shared and renamed it to a_morph.cpp to better reflect
its meaning.
- Fixed: AMorphProjectile's PlayerClass and MonsterClass members must be serialized
as FNames. Serializing them as ints is not safe because name indices are not
guaranteed to be the same each time the game is started. Same for APlayerPawn's
MorphWeapon member.
- Converted EggFX, ArtiEgg, PorkFX and ArtiPork to DECORATE.
- Added a new parameter to A_FireCustomMissile. Previously it always aimed
straight ahead and altered the projectile's angle according to the resulting
direction. If the 6th parameter is 1 now it will aim at the specified angle
directly.
- Changed custom morphing to be based on a new MorphProjectile class, not
the Heretic specific EggFX. The EggFX properties are now prefixed with
'MorphProjectile.'.
SVN r297 (trunk)
- Created a new MorphedMonster class that Chicken and Pig now derive from.
This class automatically takes care of unmorphing the monster when its
time is up.
- Made PlayerClass and MonsterClass properties of EggFX. You can override
these in a subclass to create new kinds of morpher projectiles. Along with
that, MorphWeapon is a new property of PlayerPawn that controls what type
of weapon you have available while morphed ("None" means you have no
weapons).
- Changed morphed monsters to record the time when they want to unmorph, not
the time left until they unmorph. This simplifies calling
P_UpdateMorhpedMonster() because you don't need to pass it a tic count.
- Added an optional second parameter to A_SpawnDebris and an optional
fifth parameter to A_SpawnItem that both do the same thing: If you set it
to 1, then the spawned actor will be assigned the same translation table
as the actor that called the function.
- Moved the blood colorization in P_SpawnBlood() ahead of the SetDamage()
call so that the blood color will available to the states of the blood
actor.
- Extended the puke command so that giving it a negative script number will
act like ACS_ExecuteAlways and always execute the script. (Ugh. Why did I
use's Raven's cheat code to name this command?)
SVN r296 (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)
meaningful message instead of the nondescript
'Tried to spawn a class-less actor'.
- Converted AGlassJunk to DECORATE and made the spawn function a little
more flexible so that replacing the shard is easier.
- Converted ABloodSplatter to DECORATE.
- Removed A_Jiggle because it never worked properly.
- Changed DECORATE parser to allow commas between arguments for multi-
argument properties. For all newly added properties this format will
become mandatory but for backwards compatibility it is optional for
old ones.
- Added a check for negative indices to TAutoGrowArray::SetVal to prevent
passing an index of -1 from crashing the game.
- Fixed: Morphing must clear the weapon's flash sprite.
- Fixed: Resurrecting a morphed player caused a crash.
- Fixed: Random sounds that recursively refer to themselves caused a stack
overflow. Now they print a warning and get ignored.
SVN r277 (trunk)
intelligently pick the value to use for TranslucentLine's second argument.
- Added a queryiwad_key cvar to control which key can force the IWAD selection
to appear. It can be either "shift" or "control". Any other value will
disable its functionality.
- Fixed: A_SkullPop() and A_FreezeDeathChunks() did not transfer the player's
inventory to the new dismembered head "player".
SVN r268 (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)
- 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)
longer determined by game. Instead there's a new flag, MF5_BLOODSPLATTER
which is deciding what to do. To keep backwards compatibility this flag
is unset for projectiles in Doom and Strife and set for them in Heretic
and Hexen. The same applies to DECORATE but of course the flag can be
manipulated here.
- BLODxx sprites are now globally renamed to BLUDxx when not playing Doom.
This allows using the same states in every game, including the
Raven-specific blood actors.
- Gave the bullet puff and the axe blood masses of 5 so that the make small
splashes.
- Added A_Light(value) code pointer for DECORATE to generalize the weapon
light effect.
- Added 'noskillmenu' option to MAPINFO episode definitions. This is for
WADs that want to implement a skill selection level.
- Added APROP_ChaseGoal and APROP_Frightened actor properties for ACS.
- Added MF5_CHASEGOAL flag that makes monsters to go after their goal even
if they have a valid target.
- Fixed some issues with the changes to P_NewChaseDir I made to include
MBF's dropoff logic.
- Added a PowerFrightener powerup class. It seemed like such a waste to
have this cool feature but no means to use it in a decent fashion.
- Fixed: S_Init and S_ParseSndInfo should call atterm only once but not
each time they are called.
SVN r112 (trunk)
functions added to the exit chain with atterm so that they can be called
in a deterministic order and not whatever order the linker decides to put
them in.
- Fixed: DCajunMaster did not free its getspawned.
- Fixed: P_FreeLevelData() did not free ACS scripts.
- Fixed: Level snapshots were not freed at exit.
- Fixed: The save/load menu list was not freed at exit.
- Fixed: FCompressedMemFile needs a destructor to free the m_ImplodedBuffer.
- Fixed: G_DoLoadGame() did not free the engine string.
- Fixed: M_ReadSaveStrings() did not free the engine string.
- Fixed: Processing DEM_SAVEGAME did not free the pathname string.
- Added a check for truncated flats to FFlatTexture::MakeTexture() because
Heretic's F_SKY1 is only four bytes long.
- Added a dump of the offending state to the "Cannot find state..." diagnostic.
- Fixed: FCompressedFile did not initialize m_Mode in its default constructor.
- Fixed: Heretic and Hexen status bars did not initialize ArtiRefresh.
- Fixed: PNGHandle destructor should use delete[] to free TextChunks.
SVN r111 (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)
- Removed doom.x, heretic.x and strife.x from the SVN repository. These
are generated files.
- Fixed: A_PainDie has to check whether a valid target exists before
calling IsFriend.
- Fixed: FDecalLib::FindAnimator needs a signed counter to work properly.
May 1, 2006 (Changes by Graf Zahl)
- Added support for game specific pickup messages, if only to be able
to define Raven's invulnerability item in DECORATE.
- Removed A_TreeDeath because it is no longer used.
- Fixed: When picking up a PowerupGiver for an active powerup the
blend color and the duration were transferred to a temorary item
and never took effect. They have to be trnasferred to the newly created
powerup item before trying to give it to the player, not afterward.
- Made the colormap of the InvulnerabilitySphere item specific.
The base power class still needs to have its color adjusted
per game though and since Raven's invulnerability item is used in both
Hexen and Heretic it can't define its own colormap/blend.
- Separated the invulnerability colormaps from the game being played
and made them item specific. They can also be specified as regular
blend colors in DECORATE now.
- Converted a_hereticarmor.cpp and most of a_doomartifacts.cpp,
a_hereticartifacts.cpp and a_heretickeys.cpp to DECORATE.
- Changed the Soulsphere to be a real health item with the Dehacked
modifications made in d_dehacked.cpp as for most other items which
need to be adjusted.
- Added IF_BIGPOWERUP flag to AInventory to expose the RESPAWN_SUPER
dmflag to DECORATE. Also removed the now obsolete ShouldRespawn methods
from AInvulnerabilitySphere and ABlurSphere.
- Converted a_splashes.cpp to DECORATE.
- Converted most of a_debris.cpp to DECORATE.
SVN r73 (trunk)
- Added multiple-choice sound sequences. These overcome one of the major
deficiences of the Hexen-inherited SNDSEQ system while still being Hexen
compatible: Custom door sounds can now use different opening and closing
sequences, for both normal and blazing speeds.
- Added a serializer for TArray.
- Added a countof macro to doomtype.h. See the1's blog to find out why
it's implemented the way it is.

- Added a new method to FRandom for getting random numbers larger than 255,
which lets me:
- Fixed: SNDSEQ delayrand commands could delay for no more than 255 tics.
- Fixed: If you're going to have sector_t.SoundTarget, then they need to
be included in the pointer cleanup scans.
- Ported back newer name code from 2.1.
- Fixed: Using -warp with only one parameter in Doom and Heretic to
select a map on episode 1 no longer worked.
- New: Loading a multiplayer save now restores the players based on
their names rather than on their connection order. Using connection
order was sensible when -net was the only way to start a network game,
but with -host/-join, it's not so nice. Also, if there aren't enough
players in the save, then the extra players will be spawned normally,
so you can continue a saved game with more players than you started it
with.
- Added some new SNDSEQ commands to make it possible to define Heretic's
ambient sounds in SNDSEQ: volumerel, volumerand, slot, randomsequence,
delayonce, and restart. With these, it is basically possible to obsolete
all of the $ambient SNDINFO commands.
- Fixed: Sound sequences would only execute one command each time they were
ticked.
- Fixed: No bounds checking was done on the volume sound sequences played at.
- Fixed: The tic parameter to playloop was useless and caused it to
act like a redundant playrepeat. I have removed all the logic that
caused playloop to play repeating sounds, and now it acts like an
infinite sequence of play/delay commands until the sequence is
stopped.
- Fixed: Sound sequences were ticked every frame, not every tic, so all
the delay commands were timed incorrectly and varied depending on your
framerate. Since this is useful for restarting looping sounds that got
cut off, I have not changed this. Instead, the delay commands now
record the tic when execution should resume, not the number of tics
left to delay.
