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)
- 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- Removed the hopelessly outdated thingdef_doc.txt file from the repository.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.
