The math in DCanvas::FillBorder does not always work out so better clean the entire screen before drawing a fullscreen image to ensure that the menu blend is always drawn over something valid.
CVAR with this flag can be set in console or from command line when sv_cheats is enabled
There is no such restriction for changing its value from ACS, via SetCVar() and related functions
'cheat' modifier can be used in CVARINFO lump to create variable of this kind
The idea is, when status bars are moved to ZScript that only this small wrapper class needs to be dealt with and the implementation can be left alone. SBARINFO is far too complex to be scriptified, but having it inherit directly from DBaseStatusBar and access its member variables severely limits the options of dealing with the status bar code. This way, it only accesses some globally visible functions in DBaseStatusBar and no variables.
- renamed the global ST_X and ST_Y variables because it is far too confusing and error-prone to have the same names inside and outside DBaseStatusBar.
This was done to ensure it can be properly overridden in scripts without causing problems when called during engine shutdown for the type and symbol objects the VM needs to work and to have the scripted version always run first.
Since the scripted OnDestroy method never calls the native version - the native one is run after the scripted one - this can be simply skipped over during shutdown.
The original implementation just printed a mostly information-free message and then went on as if nothing has happened, making it ridiculously easy to write broken code and release it. Changed it to:
* Any VMAbortException will now terminate the game session and go back to the console.
* It will also print a VM stack trace with all open functions, including source file and line numbers pointing to the problem spots. For this the relevant information had to be added to the VMScriptFunction class.
An interesting effect here was that just throwing the exception object increased the VM's Exec function's stack size from 900 bytes to 70kb, because the compiler allocates a separate local buffer for every single instance of the exception object.
The obvious solution was to put this part into a subfunction so that it won't pollute the Exec function's own stack frame. Interesting side effect of this: Exec's stack requirement went down from 900 bytes to 600 bytes. This is still on the high side but already a lot better.
- instead add a list of SpecialInits to VMScriptFunction so this can be done transparently when setting up and popping the stack frame. The only drawback is that this requires permanent allocation of stack objects for the entire lifetime of a function but this is a relatively small tradeoff for significantly reduced maintenance work throughout.
- removed most #include "vm.h", because nearly all files already pull this in through dobject.h.
* everything related to scripting is now placed in a subdirectory 'scripting', which itself is separated into DECORATE, ZSCRIPT, the VM and code generation.
* a few items have been moved to different headers so that the DECORATE parser definitions can mostly be kept local. The only exception at the moment is the flags interface on which 3 source files depend.
- _FPU_GETCW is defined for more than just x87. Don't use it if the
control word for the target architecture doesn't support _FPU_EXTENDED
or _FPU_DOUBLE defined, e.g. pretty much anything but x87. If I had been
using glibc on PowerPC instead of Apple's libc, I probably would have
noticed this sooner, since _FPU_GETCW is part of glibc.
- handle a 'restart' CCMD a bit more controlled. Instead of throwing an exception in the CCMD handler it now just flags D_DoomLoop to return.
If the exception is thrown within the CCMD this can easily happen deep inside the renderer when it calls NetUpdate. But since the software renderer with its use of global variables is not equipped to be yanked out of lile this it could leave broken data behind that caused glitches or even crashes on subsequently played maps.
This cuts down on as much message noise as possible, outputs everything to a file specified as a parameter and then quits immediately, allowing this to run from a batch that's supposed to check a larger list of files for errors.
Multiple outputs get appended if the file already exists.
- This isn't a real file or even a name, but the game would try and load
it, including running through various permutations, potentially resulting
in loading the current directory as an archive.
This requires quite a bit more thorough cleanup. I got it to the point where the titlepic appears after restarting, but it still crashes when starting the game so there's more data that needs to be cleaned up...
