This is for mitigating the recently discovered problem with attenuated lights getting reduced in size, even on OpenGL 3+. The intent of the shrinking was to account for higher brightness of non-attenuated lights on OpenGL 2 and was never meant to be active on more modern versions.
The factor will apply to any attenuated light defined after it and will be inherited by included sub-lumps, but it will only last for the lunp it is set in.
If you have a definition for the broken behavior, AddLightAssociation
'lightsizefactor 0.667' at the top of your GLDEFS.
- with renderers freely switchable, some shortcuts in the 3D floor code had to be removed, because now the hardware renderer can get FF_THISINSIDE-flagged 3D floors.
- changed handling of attenuated lights in the legacy renderer to be adjusted when being rendered instead of when being spawned. For the software renderer the light needs to retain its original values.
It may use the same calculations as the hardware renderer but must use the 2D drawer for display.
It should be investigated if the hardware renderer can do this as well.
This was done mainly to reduce the amount of occurences of the word FTexture but it immediately helped detect two small and mostly harmless bugs that were found due to the stricter type checks.
* Instead of using the red channel it now uses the grayscale value. While slower in a few situations, it is also more precise and makes the feature more useful.
* For paletted textures do not use the index as alpha anymore but the actual grayscaled color. This is again to make the feature more consistent and useful.
* To compensate for the above there is now a list of hashes for known alpha textures in patch format, so that they don't get broken.
* IMGZ is now considered a grayscale format. There's only two known textures that use IMGZ for something else than crosshairs and those are explicitly handled.
* several smaller fixes.
* the actual color conversion functions for paletted output are now consolidated in a small number of inlines so that future changes are easier to do.
Note: This hasn't been tested yet and will need further changes in the hardware rendering code. As it is it is not production-ready.
Now it is no longer necessary to provide specially set up textures for rendering shaded decals, they can use any PNG texture now that contains a proper red channel.
Handling of the alPh chunk has been removed as a result as it in no longer needed.
Even though unlikely, this should work as a regular texture because it can be used as such.
As a result of the above, true color generation needs to be done explicitly now.
Until now each subclass of FTexture had to implement the entire span generation itself, presumably so that a few classes can use simpler structures.
This does not work if a texture can have more than one pixel buffer as is needed for alpha textures.
Even though it means that some classes will allocate more data now, it's the only way to do it properly.
In addition this removes a significant amount of mostly redundant code from the texture classes.
- added alpha texture processing to all converted classes
As of now this is not active and not tested.
Note that as part of the conversion even those textures that were working as alphatextures will not look correct until the higher level code gets adjusted.
- a bit of header cleanup.
* moved <zlib.h> and <bzlib.h> from files.h to files_decompress.cpp because they are no longer needed for defining the interface.
* added <functional> to the precompiled header
As nice as the automatic is, this will trigger far too many cases where it will disable translucency for mods that only change some texts. Dehacked is very often only used for non-actor related modifications.
If the automatic is supposed to be the default it needs to do a lot more thorough checks to avoid bug reports due to misunderstanding the feature.
It now works the following way:
(0) - Force off (ZDoom defaults)
(1) - Force on (Doom defaults)
(2) - Auto off (Prefer ZDoom defaults - if DEHACKED is detected with no ZSCRIPT it will turn on) (default)
(3) - Auto on (Prefer Doom defaults - if DECORATE is detected with no ZSCRIPT it will turn off)
This was very poorly done without ever addressing the issues a composite render style can bring, it merely dealt with the known legacy render styles.
The same, identical code was also present in two different places.
The oversight that AlterWeaponSprite overrode even forced styles was also fixed.
OpenGL is not implemented yet but with the problems eliminated should be doable now.
This is to ensure that the Class pointer can be set right on creation. ZDoom had always depended on handling this lazily which poses some problems for the VM.
So now there is a variadic Create<classtype> function taking care of that, but to ensure that it gets used, direct access to the new operator has been blocked.
This also neccessitated making DArgs a regular object because they get created before the type system is up. Since the few uses of DArgs are easily controllable this wasn't a big issue.
- did a bit of optimization on the bots' decision making whether to pick up a health item or not.
- consolidated the code to calculate a sprite's display angle for all 3 renderers.
As it turned out, they all differed in their feature support because they had always been updated independently by different people.
