- Implemented an FString TArray which goes into save files that saves a model file and path, and when the game is loaded, spits back out the model to be Loaded when loading a save file
While 'block players' was just a simple remap, 'block land monsters' required quite a bit of work...
This also fixes the bug that BLOCK_FLOATERS was never checked for sliding against a wall.
If the loader is allowed to go on, these objects will be linked into game structures and may do unpredictable things before the loader has a chance to abort at the end.
It can now be used from UDMF and ZScript.
To avoid clutter it doesn't allow setting the values individually but requires definition of a data record in TEXTURES.
colorization
{
DesaturationFactor <float>
Invert
AddColor <color>
ModulateColor <color>
BlendColor <color>, <mode> [, <alpha>]
}
Mode for BlendColor can be Alpha (normal translucent blending), as well as 3 special values taken from Build engine games: Screen, Overlay and HardLight.
It makes little sense exposing every minute detail of this through UDMF.
Setting it up that way is far too complicated. Using virtual textures that map to a real texture plus a colorization record should be far easier to use by mappers.
This also doesn't piggyback on the Doom64 color feature anymore and is completely separate, despite some redundancies.
This is still missing the texture definition part, though.
It should be said in no uncertain terms that OnRegister operates on an uninitialized level so it should only be used for setting up the registering process of the event handler itself and nothing else - not even the event handler's data!!!
This didn't behave like an assignment operator so it shouldn't be one, especially since the two places where it got called need different functionality.
It was only used to avoid traversing the list if all sequences were paused which is an exceptional situation.
On the other hand, the way it counted was not correct so rather than fixing it it seemed more appropriate to remove it entirely.
Having everything lumped together made this a maintenance hassle because it affected how the level has to be stored.
This hasn't been tested yet, so it may not work as intended!
currentUILevel is now primaryLevel.
For ZScript, currentVMLevel was added. This is also exported as 'level' and will change as needed.
This also means that no breaking deprecations will be needed in the future, because in order to sandbox a level only 4 variables need to be handled: level, players, playeringame and consoleplayer.
The remaining global variables are not relevant for the level state.
The static 'level' has been mostly removed from the code except some places that still need work.
There is one exception in ACS for a net arbitrator check.
Aside from this the bot_observer CVAR was also removed. This was never implemented properly and could stomp upon custom player settings.
The Map loader may not access any global state at all - everything it can touch must be exchangable.
Furthermore, if we want to sandbox each level, there may be no direct access to any kind of global state whatsoever from the play code.
This had two different flags that were checked totally inconsistently, and one was not even saved.
Moved everything into a few subfunctions so that these checks do not have to be scattered all over the code.
There is no need to do this deep inside the renderer where it required code duplication and made it problematic to execute on multiple levels.
This is now being done before and after the top level call into the renderer in d_main.cpp.
This also serializes the interpolator itself to avoid problems with the Serialize functions adding the interpolations into the list which can only work with a single global instance.
This doesn't really write out any info for the pointer, if the level does not match it just errors out.
This is both for quick detection of badly used level data and for automatic restoring of the pointer from the serializer's working level.
This also removed the temporary workarounds in DAutomap and DLevelScript to restore these pointers when a savegame is loaded.
