registers AMD64 provides, this routine still needs to be written as self-
modifying code for maximum performance. The additional registers do allow
for further optimization over the x86 version by allowing all four pixels
to be in flight at the same time. The end result is that AMD64 ASM is about
2.18 times faster than AMD64 C and about 1.06 times faster than x86 ASM.
(For further comparison, AMD64 C and x86 C are practically the same for
this function.) Should I port any more assembly to AMD64, mvlineasm4 is the
most likely candidate, but it's not used enough at this point to bother.
Also, this may or may not work with Linux at the moment, since it doesn't
have the eh_handler metadata. Win64 is easier, since I just need to
structure the function prologue and epilogue properly and use some
assembler directives/macros to automatically generate the metadata. And
that brings up another point: You need YASM to assemble the AMD64 code,
because NASM doesn't support the Win64 metadata directives.
- Added an SSE version of DoBlending. This is strictly C intrinsics.
VC++ still throws around unneccessary register moves. GCC seems to be
pretty close to optimal, requiring only about 2 cycles/color. They're
both faster than my hand-written MMX routine, so I don't need to feel
bad about not hand-optimizing this for x64 builds.
- Removed an extra instruction from DoBlending_MMX, transposed two
instructions, and unrolled it once, shaving off about 80 cycles from the
time required to blend 256 palette entries. Why? Because I tried writing
a C version of the routine using compiler intrinsics and was appalled by
all the extra movq's VC++ added to the code. GCC was better, but still
generated extra instructions. I only wanted a C version because I can't
use inline assembly with VC++'s x64 compiler, and x64 assembly is a bit
of a pain. (It's a pain because Linux and Windows have different calling
conventions, and you need to maintain extra metadata for functions.) So,
the assembly version stays and the C version stays out.
- Removed all the pixel doubling r_detail modes, since the one platform they
were intended to assist (486) actually sees very little benefit from them.
- Rewrote CheckMMX in C and renamed it to CheckCPU.
- Fixed: CPUID function 0x80000005 is specified to return detailed L1 cache
only for AMD processors, so we must not use it on other architectures, or
we end up overwriting the L1 cache line size with 0 or some other number
we don't actually understand.

- AActor::PreExplode is gone now that the last item that was using it has been converted.
- Converted the Sigil and the remaining things in a_strifeitems.cpp to DECORATE.
SVN r1132 (trunk)
- Changed PoisonCloud and Lightning special treatment in P_DamageMobj to use damage
types instead to keep dependencies on specific actor types out of the main engine code.
- Added Korax DECORATE conversion by Gez and a few others by Karate Chris.
SVN r1130 (trunk)
pieces.
- Added DECORATE conversions for Hexen's Fighter weapons by Karate Chris.
- Added aWeaponGiver class to generalize the standing AssaultGun.
- converted a_Strifeweapons.cpp to DECORATE, except for the Sigil.
SVN r1129 (trunk)
- Fixed: AStalker::CheckMeleeRange did not perform all checks of AActor::CheckMeleeRange.
I replaced this virtual override with a new flag MF5_NOVERTICALMELEERANGE so that
this feature can also be used by other actors.
- Converted Strife's Stalker to DECORATE.
- Converted ArtiTeleport to DECORATE.
SVN r1126 (trunk)
- Added a check to Zipdir that excludes files with a .orig extension. These
can be left behind by patch.exe and create problems.
- fixed: Unmorphing from chicken caused a crash when reading non-existent
meta-data strings.
SVN r1112 (trunk)
Karate Chris.
- Added several type checks to the weapon slot code.
- Changed: Players no longer respawn in instant death sectors with
the 'Respawn where died' flag on.
SVN r1101 (trunk)
treated it as a mace and wrote into some undefined memory.
- Fixed: A_BishopMissileWeave didn't initialize special2 for proper movement.
- Added a speed parameter to A_SkullAttack.
- Fixed: Black as first or only blood color didn't work.
- Fixed: Sounds played in wi_stuff.cpp and f_finale.cpp need the CHAN_UI flag.
- Fixed: Spawning a player could play the *gasp sound.
- Fixed: SBARINFO's health display didn't scale to the proper maximum.
- Added Skulltag's Teleport_NoStop action special.
SVN r1074 (trunk)
that animated icons can be done with it.
- Changed FImageCollection to use a TArray to hold its data.
- Fixed: SetChanHeadSettings did an assignment instead of comparing
the channel ID witg CHAN_CEILING.
- Changed sound sequence names for animated doors to FNames.
- Automatically fixed: DCeiling didn't properly serialize its texture id.
- Replaced integers as texture ID representation with a specific new type
to track down all potentially incorrect uses and remaining WORDs used
for texture IDs so that more than 32767 or 65535 textures can be defined.
SVN r1036 (trunk)
consideration the size and shape of the sector producing the sound. See
the lifts on Doom 2 MAP30 and compare with previous versions.
- Fixed: The stop sound for sector-based sound sequences was not played with
the CHAN_AREA flag.
- Removed the distinction between S_Sound() and S_SoundID() functions. Use
S_Sound() for both names and IDs from now on.
SVN r1034 (trunk)
be used to prevent them from dropping through 3DMIDTEX textures.
- Fixed: AMageStaffFX2::IsOkayToAttack overwrote the projectile's angle variable.
SVN r970 (trunk)
- Separated mapthing2_t into mapthinghexen_t and the internal FMapThing so
that it is easier to add new features in the UDMF map format.
- Added some initial code to read UDMF maps.
SVN r956 (trunk)
- Removed FRadiusThingsIterator after discovering that VC++ misoptimized
it in P_CheckPosition. Now FBlockThingsIterator is used with the distance
check being done manually.
SVN r914 (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)
and P_TryMove. Moved BlockingLine and BlockingMobj into AActor because
the global variables can be easily overwritten with certain DECORATE
constructs.
SVN r894 (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)
- Fixed: Heretic linetype translations included the wrong file.
- Removed all 2D sound positioning code from s_sound.cpp. Everything uses
FMOD's 3D engine now.
- Removed all the channel selection code from s_sound.cpp. FMOD has code to
handle this sort of thing, so let's use it.
- Replaced S_StopSoundID() with S_CheckSingular(). There is no longer a limit
on the number of copies of a particular sound that can be playing at once,
aside from Strife's special singular sounds. (Sorry, Heretic and Hexen.)
Consequently, the SNDINFO $limit command is now ignored.
- Removed ATTN_SURROUND, since FMOD Ex doesn't exactly support it, and it
only worked as intended on stereo speakers anyway.
- Cleaned out ancient crud from i_sound.cpp.
SVN r826 (trunk)
function in an easy-to-understand manner.
- Fixed: D_AddWildFile() blindly assumed that all matches were files.
- Added back the dead player check to CheckIfExitIsGood(), but now it
applies only if the next map is part of the same hub. Otherwise, you can
still exit the map while dead.
- Removed the SpawnedPuff global variable and made it a return value from
P_LineAttack().
- Fixed: P_SpawnPuff() played sounds for temporary puffs.
SVN r739 (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)
in a hub but by a level flag instead.
- Fixed: Floor and ceiling huggers must set themselves to floor and ceiling each
time they move.
- Added a LEVEL_NOMONSTERS flag so that G_ChangeLevel doesn't have to mess with
the dmflags CVAR to start the level without monsters.
SVN r563 (trunk)
- Fixed: Right after teleporting P_SlideMove could cause player movement.
Added a check for reactiontime to prevent that.
- Fixed: PainChances and Damagefactors were never freed.
- Added option to A_Chase that prevents the monster from moving.
- Fixed: The stained glass shards were missing the HEXENBOUNCE flag.
- Added some NULL pointer checks to AActor::GiveAmmo.
- Fixed: The FSwordMissile was missing the special damage handling that
reduces damage when hitting a player.
SVN r555 (trunk)
as a counter by the Hexen fighter's fist weapon.
- Fixed: The Wraithwerge's spirits shouldn't attack friends.
- Fixed: The Heresiarch's balls must not adjust their z-position after the
Heresiarch dies.
- Added damage type specific pain chances and an MF5_NOPAIN flag that can be used
to suppress entering the pain state altogether.
- Changed font initialization so that you can define replacements for the default
fonts in FONTDEFS.
- Removed the 'add a bot' menu option since bots are beyond repair and therefore
mostly useless.
- Fixed: Hitscan attacks must always spawn a puff so that it and its properties
can be used as damage inflictor.
SVN r534 (trunk)
powerup.
- Changed: Weapons are no longer checked for the EXTREMEDEATH and NOEXTREMEDEATH flags.
For all damage related actions it will always be the projectile (or puff for hitscan
attacks) that is treated as the damage inflictor.
- Fixed: Hexen's fourth weapons made extreme death depend on the weapon the player
is holding, not the projectile that did the kill. The WIF_EXTREME_DEATH flag
no longer exists as a result.
- Expanded PowerSpeed so that subclasses can be derived that alter the speed factor.
- Added an MF5_USESPECIAL flag that allows using things to execute their specials.
- added MF4_FORCERADIUSDMG flag so that exploding items can be created which
are able to hurt boss monsters.
- moved ML_BLOCK_PLAYERS to the value 0x4000 to bring it in line with Skulltag's
implementation.
SVN r530 (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)
P_(Aim)LineAttack().
- Added an AttackZOffset to PlayerPawn. This is the offset from the
center of the player at which their attacks are fired and scales
according to their crouched height.
- Changed the version of P_SpawnPlayerMissile() that takes coordinates
to use that location as an offset from the standard attack location
rather than as an explicit attack location.
SVN r498 (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)
monsters
- Added velocity multiplicators to A_SpawnDebris.
- Changed: A_JumpIfNoAmmo should have no effect for CustomInventory items.
- Fixed: DECORATE jump commands must set the call state's result to 0
even when they have to return prematurely.
- Added obituaries for Strife's and Hexen's monsters.
- Converted Strife's Bishop to DECORATE.
- Added momx, momy and momz variables to the DECORATE expression evaluator.
SVN r404 (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.
