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.

if present.
- Modified GZDoom's true color texture copy functions and added them
to generate 32 bit D3D textures. Paletted TGAs and PCXs are also handled
this way but I don't think these 2 formats are worth some more special
handling.
(Question: Is it worth it to implement special handling for paletted PNGs
so that they are used as 8 bit textures internally?)
SVN r608 (trunk)
They are not actually drawn with it yet, nor is it complete, but it's
something to start with.
- Split up DCanvas::DrawTexture() into more pieces to make it easier to
virtualize.
- Removed support for non-32-bit palette textures from D3DFB. What kind of
card supports pixel shaders but not 32-bit textures?
SVN r605 (trunk)
I got rid of the old tx and ty CVARs because they made the texture scaling
much more complicated than it was actually needed (and besides, they were completely
useless except for testing purposes anyway.)
SVN r522 (trunk)
- The net start pane is now given focus when it is created, so it can
receive keyboard input.
- Added playback of the "WeaponPickup" sound when a Hexen net game starts.
- Separated the different startup screens into classes for better
modularization (which I should have done in the first place). (Sorry,
have not done it for Linux yet, so that won't compile as-is.)
SVN r496 (trunk)
const char * with a string inside its buffer, it released the buffer
before copying the string.
- Added a new FString constructor that creates the string from a lump.
- Fixed: G_DoReborn() calls G_InitNew() with mapname set to level.mapname.
G_InitNew() then copies it onto level.mapname, which is undefined
behavior (although it does work as we want it to).
- Modified FMemLump to store its data using FString. That class provides
a convenient method of storing reference counted data, so now FMemLump
doesn't need to muck about sneakily using const_casts and possibly
tricking its users into thinking that an old one is still valid after
being assigned to a new one.
- Fixed: The IMGZ, PNG, PCX, and JPEG loaders assumed the files were
large enough for their headers without actually checking.
SVN r463 (trunk)
- Fixed: AddLine() could corrupt memory if the length of the text being
added was longer than the console buffer.
- Fixed: FTexture::GetScaled(Left|Top)Offset returned the Width and Height
instead when the scale values were 0.
- Removed the unnecessary "mov ecx,c" from mscinlines.h:Scale().
SVN r461 (trunk)
- Fixed: The PlayerSpeedTrail must copy the player's scaling information
(from Skulltag)
- Added r_maxparticles CVAR from Skulltag.
- Changed PCX loader so that it always loads the last 768 bytes of 8 bit graphics as a palette

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)
be surprised if it doesn't work.
- Reorganized the network startup loops so now they are event driven. There is
a single function that gets called to drive it, and it uses callbacks to
perform the different stages of the synchronization. This lets me have a nice,
responsive abort button instead of the previous unannounced hit-escape-to-
abort behavior, and I think the rearranged code is slightly easier to
understand too.
- Increased the number of bytes for version info during D_ArbitrateNetStart(),
in preparation for the day when NETGAMEVERSION requires more than one byte.
- I noticed an issue with Vista RC1 and the new fatal error setup. Even after
releasing a DirectDraw or Direct3D interface, the DWM can still use the
last image drawn using them when it composites the window. It doesn't always
do it but it does often enough that it is a real problem. At this point, I
don't know if it's a problem with the release version of Vista or not.
After messing around, I discovered the problem was caused by ~Win32Video()
hiding the window and then having it immediately shown soon after. The DWM
kept an image of the window to do the transition effect with, and then when
it didn't get a chance to do the transition, it didn't properly forget about
its saved image and kept plastering it on top of everything else
underneath.
- Added a network synchronization panel to the window during netgame startup.
- Fixed: PClass::CreateDerivedClass() must initialize StateList to NULL.
Otherwise, classic DECORATE definitions generate a big, fat crash.
- Resurrected the R_Init progress bar, now as a standard Windows control.
- Removed the sound failure dialog. The FMOD setup already defaulted to no
sound if initialization failed, so this only applies when snd_output is set
to "alternate" which now also falls back to no sound. In addition, it wasn't
working right, and I didn't feel like fixing it for the probably 0% of users
it affected.
- Fixed: The edit control used for logging output added text in reverse order
on Win9x.
- Went back to the roots and made graphics initialization one of the last
things to happen during setup. Now the startup text is visible again. More
importantly, the main window is no longer created invisible, which seems
to cause trouble with it not always appearing in the taskbar. The fatal
error dialog is now also embedded in the main window instead of being a
separate modal dialog, so you can play with the log window to see any
problems that might be reported there.
Rather than completely restoring the original startup order, I tried to
keep things as close to the way they were with early graphics startup. In
particular, V_Init() now creates a dummy screen so that things that need
screen dimensions can get them. It gets replaced by the real screen later
in I_InitGraphics(). Will need to check this under Linux to make sure it
didn't cause any problems there.
- Removed the following stubs that just called functions in Video:
- I_StartModeIterator()
- I_NextMode()
- I_DisplayType()
I_FullscreenChanged() was also removed, and a new fullscreen parameter
was added to IVideo::StartModeIterator(), since that's all it controlled.
- Renamed I_InitHardware() back to I_InitGraphics(), since that's all it's
initialized post-1.22.
SVN r416 (trunk)
bWorldPanning flag. Also added some NULL pointer checks to the
hires texture loading code.
- Added Sector_SetFloorScale2 and Sector_SetCeilingScale2 line specials.
They are mostly the same as Sector_Set*Scale but take fixed point parameters.
This makes them easier to use and more precise than the old ones which
offered very small fractional precision.
- Changed Thing_Deactivate so that passing a tid of 0 deactivates the calling
actor.
- Added MeansOfDeath parameter to DamageThing.
SVN r350 (trunk)
- The stat meters now return an FString instead of sprintfing into a fixed
output buffer.
- NOASM is now automatically defined when compiling for a non-x86 target.
- Some changes have been made to the integral types in doomtype.h:
- For consistancy with the other integral types, byte is no longer a
synonym for BYTE.
- Most uses of BOOL have been change to the standard C++ bool type. Those
that weren't were changed to INTBOOL to indicate they may contain values
other than 0 or 1 but are still used as a boolean.
- Compiler-provided types with explicit bit sizes are now used. In
particular, DWORD is no longer a long so it will work with both 64-bit
Windows and Linux.
- Since some files need to include Windows headers, uint32 is a synonym
for the non-Windows version of DWORD.
- Removed d_textur.h. The pic_t struct it defined was used nowhere, and that
was all it contained.
SVN r326 (trunk)
- Fixed: SetTexture() in p_setup.cpp assumed that all color values were
six characters. Although this was the intended way to specify colors,
earlier versions did no error checking, so other lengths worked too.
- Fixed: FPatchTexture waited until MakeTexture() to call CalcBitSize(),
so the width and height bit sizes weren't available when using it as a
source for a warp texture.
- Fixed: R_InitSkyMap() should only warn about two sky textures not being
the same height when they are used as part of a double sky.
- Added a NULL state check in AActor::Tick() before advancing the current
state. Note that this should not happen, so there's an assert there for
the debug build as well as a regular check for the release build.
SVN r324 (trunk)
data file.
- Removed the setcolor CCMD. It's been obsolete for years, ever since color-
aware cvars were added.
- Changed V_GetColorStringByName() to return an FString, because it did a
copystring() call.
- Extended V_GetColorFromString() so that it accepts HTML-style #RRGGBB and
#RGB color strings.
SVN r313 (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.
