- e5m2: floating skulls disappear on lower skill levels
- e5m4: the platform with the baron of hell that led to the invulnerability secret had a missing texture
This was one of that annoying old design mistakes where Doom and Heretic features were poorly merged together. The Heretic Gargoyle uses very similar coding but performs a subtly different action when actually hitting another actor. This different action was made the default, even for the Lost Soul.
It has now been changed that both monsters use their original action, being distinguished by an actor flag. For compatibility with custom definitions Heretic's behavior, which has been the default in ZDoom will be the preferred one. The one of the Lost Soul can be reactivated by a flag.
Most importantly, specifying a patch may optionally disallow showing the autor's name - this is for cases where a styled patch gets used for English but text-based translations of the map name should still be possible.
This looks a lot better. Unfortunately for the regular SmallFont this would severely reduce the available space for the text so it isn't done here, even though for shorter texts the formatting would look better as well.
Duration of sound playback and subtitles display will be synchronized if sound id is specified
For existing Strife messages this works out of the box
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=65379
What could be done has been moved into the filter directory of game_support.pk3
Unfortunately most of the rest is needed as presets even for custom games so it cannot be fully cleaned up, because the dependencies here and the filter structure do not align 100%.
* sprite offset definitions, which are IWAD dependent
* Freedoom's decal overrides
* conversation ID definitions for the Strife teasers
* the fallback BigFont now can also be loaded by IWADs which declare themselves as GAME_Heretic or GAME_Hexen.
* the Doom status bar has been partially virtualized to allow overriding specific parts of it, most notably the ammo display
* the internal Harmony status bar has been removed because it only works with the now disabled Dehacked patch.
* the SBARINFO definition has been removed, instead it uses a ZScript-based status bar now which overrides the ammo display to use the new ammo types instead.
This was done for two reasons:
1. It forces loading of zd_extra.pk3 for the stock IWADs, eliminating a certain kind of user error.
2. It removes the stock IWAD definitions for custom games that distribute the engine along with their data, so that it doesn't pick up on Steam and GOG installations and shows an inappropriate IWAD picker.
Unlike the other games this required a bit of patching of the IWAD's data with a new MAPINFO so it needs to be in a separate .pk3 file loaded after the IWAD.
Since this needs to be loaded after the IWAD it was also possible to add a small DECORATE lump which fixes a few errors inherited from the original Dehacked patch, like monster counting bugs and unintentionally shootable decorations.
There were two issues blocking this:
* the Doom BigUpper font was loaded for all Doom-based games. It is only valid for original idgames releases and nothing more.
* Hacx.wad defines its BigFont in FONTDEFS which blocks all custom fonts. Since the Hacx font and GZDoom's base BigFont are very similar, the FONTDEFS lump now gets deleted from the WAD directory.
Exit_Normal and Exit_Secret specials imply addition conditions to make a decision about proceeding to the next map
A few scriptified actors require a bypass of these conditions in order to work properly

The episode titles required a workaround because the CQ3 episodes do not contain names in text form: If this is the case, the patch name will be used as a string table identifier to get a matching text for localization.
* - Added support for monospacing alignment modes to HUDFont / BaseStatusBar.DrawString
* - added underlying type declaration for EMonospacing
* - replaced "#include v_video.h" with a declaration of EMonospacing
This deprecated CharAt and CharCodeAt for being unsuitable for text processing and in the case of CharCodeAt also for being buggy.
A new replacement, ByteAt has been added that reads a string byte by byte, as well as CodePointCount, which counts the amount of Unicode code points in a string and GetNextCodePoint which reads the string code point by code point.
Note that while this woll work as intended with the currently supported languages as a means to read single characters, there is no guarantee that this will remain so if Unicode support gets extended to things which break the "one code point == one character" assumption.
This is for IWADs that contain content which clashes with the engine and must be removed. The primary reason are the unimplemented characters in Raven's BigFont.
This was meant for using the VGA font in the alternative HUD but this never went beyond the Kill/Item/Secret display which isn't useful for localization.
Some reorganization to avoid code duplication plus making the log screen capable of using the generic font. This also means that the popup for the log in Strife's status bar will be disabled when in generic mode - this popup with its special font would be a bit problematic.
It's "doom.id.doom1/2" instead of "doom.doom1/2" now.
The config file's content will be renamed and for lump filtering a fallback has been added - note that you cannot combine both naming schemes! The old one has to be considered deprecated now.
This also removes the duplicated content necessitated by the old naming scheme.
The file renames “enu” to “default” for consistency and only contains languages that are complete/up to date, i.e. American English, British English, German, Castilian Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, and Russian. Italian, while not 100% complete, contains a full engine translation, so it has enough material to make it here.
The current menu system simply does not work that well with 320x200, rendering the game hard to use at that tiny screen size. This is a clear case where the work required to keep it operational stands in no relation to the benefit.
There are two options here - one only disables the vertical thrust and the other goes back fully to the original non-z-aware code.
Both options are settable through MAPINFO.
For the compatibility presets, the normal ones only disable the vertical thrust, the strict ones force use of the old code entirely.
This was yet another piece of code that essentially was unworkable thanks to the limited screen space with the old bitmap fonts.
With the new font there is enough screen space to do this properly.
This has to be set in the console, the default is still the regular small font. Mainly added because some mods have really hard to read fonts where it is not easy to decipher the numbers.
1. Top-level menu names are now properly handled.
2. Changing "Any or All terms" option now immediately updates the results.
3. Reformatted menu.zs to have tabs instead of spaces.
The default was changed to replace graphics if only known content is affected.
This also required blocking the feature for Hacx, Harmony and Action Doom 2 which have no localization yet and would fall back on Doom's texts if not blocked.
- clamp scissors fully to avoid NVidia's awful drivers locking up the entire system if they end up out of bounds
- perform buffer clears as part of the render pass. this puts some restrictions on how FRenderState.Clear can be used
- add an offset uniform to the present shaders so the vulkan target can flip the image during presentation
The most important one is the autosave tagging. This was done because the old printout was missing the year and printed the month as a 3 character English string, sabotaging any attempt to sort the autosaves by anything meaningful.
Parts of this menu suffered badly from lack of screen space to convey the intended information due to the oversized fonts. With the new font this is a lot less problematic (unless using 320x200, of course)
Unlike uObjectColor2, this is more global state. uObjectColor2 is part of gradient calculation which may later be offloaded to a secondary buffer which already resulted in only conditionally setting it, resulting in broken special colormap application for the software renderer.
This option value is used for 4 different options, and splitting it up into three will allow for languages based on grammatical gender systems to have different endings. Necessary for e.g. Russian in order to sound correctly.
The corresponding strings are already in the language spreadsheet.
The recent localization work has made it apparent that on many images the menu was extremely hard to read because its colors often clash with the background.
The choice of a bright overlay color with extremely low opacity is simply not enough to make the menus comfortable to navigate. Chex Quest was particularly bad but the problem existed in many Doom mods as well.
This also changes the CQ dim color to something a bit more green to better fit with the theme.
- moved language entry up a bit in the menu
- converted the language entry into a proper CVAR string list selection, instead of a separate menu with said list.
Now a localization mod can disable the graphics patches containing text entirely so that it can properly localize the text based menu variant.
If this flag gets set in MAPINFO, it will override all user settings.
In this menu, all languages supported by GZDoom are selectable with one simple click! Credits to @PROPHESSOR for making it!
(This only edits the English and French languages because they are the only languages currently up to date with GZDoom’s development. A Russian translation will follow suit at a later date.)
* added a CVAR that sets how localizable graphics need to be dealt with.
* pass the substitution string to OkForLocalization so that proper checks can be performed.
* increased item spacing on Doom's list menus to 18 from 16 pixels, because otherwise the diacritic letters would not fit. 20 would have been more ideal but 18 was the limit without compromising its visual style
* added a second text-only main menu because here the spacing cannot be changed. Doing so would render any single-patch main menu non-functional. So here the rules are that if substitution takes place, it will swap out the entire menu class.
* fixed some issues with the summary screen's "entering" and "finished" graphics.
Passing something non-constant at compile time here is extremely dangerous, especially when users can replace those strings if they like.
It now uses FString::Substitute in all cases where something needs to be inserted into a template string.
* entering a savegame description did not work anymore
* the length check was too restrictive and always underestimated the available space
* use the console font for entering a savegame description. This has more characters and better contrast for this content.
* the interface to the text enterer used bad measurements.
What is done:
D1. Controls are separated by existing sections, each section is now a submenu;
D2. The original sections are preserved;
D3. The original controls order is preserved;
D4. "Controls" section is renamed to "Game", because "Controls" submenu of "Customize Controls" would be too confusing;
D5. Map (automap) controls are added as a section, map controls submenu is unchanged;
D6. Missing controls are added to "Other" section;
D7. Sections are given a title following the scheme "Customize <section> Controls", except N4 (see below).
D8. Inside the sections, spaces are added to group the related controls.
Things that I'm not sure about:
N1. "Game" controls section name is too generic - I'll gladly change it to something more suitable;
N2. "Other" controls section name is too generic - I'll gladly change it to something more suitable;
N3. Map controls submenu could use some spacing, and internal title ("Map Controls") is redundant;
N4. "Strife Popup Screens" section name is too long to fit in scheme described in D7, therefore the title is "Strife Popup Screens Controls";
N5. "Game" section could be divided further, but this will break the original menu structure.
For the Doom IWADs the provided font looks almost identical to the characters used on the title patches. So, for any level name that got replaced in some language, it will now check if the retrieved name comes from the default table, and if not, ignore the title patch and print the name with the specified font.
This also required removing the 'en' label from the default table, because with this present, the text would always be picked from 'en' instead of 'default'. Since 'en' and 'default' had the same contents, in any English locale the 'default' table was never hit, so this won't make any difference for the texts being chosen.
Last but not least, wminfo has been made a local variable in G_DoCompleted. There were two places where this was accessed from outside the summary screen or its setup code, and both were incorrect.
This was broken by several small unicode-incompatible code fragments.
This commit also removes the input limit for the player name and the savegame description. With multibyte encoding, limiting them to a fixed length did not work right.
Currently these will just overflow the fields if the text becomes too long, this needs some additional work.
Now that GZDoom supports uppercase and lowercase characters in the BIGFONT format, this commit actually adds those characters. It contains full support for both the English and Russian (minus the letter Ё) alphabets for both Doom and Strife. As for the existing punctuation graphic lumps in Strife, all extra space is removed, and the sprite offsets are adjusted instead.
This also adjusts the English language file so that all menu header texts utilize these new characters. As a tiny extra, it also adds the letter Ё to the Strife smallfont.
(Credits to Skulltag for the uppercase B, Amuscaria for the uppercase X and Z, and @jnechaevsky for all Russian characters, taken from Russian Doom!)
With localization for non-Latin languages on the support list the multibyte API doesn't cut it anymore. It neither can handle system text output outside the local code page nor can an ANSI window receive text input outside its own code page.
Similar problems exist for file names. With the multibyte API it is impossible to handle any file containing characters outside the active local code page.
So as of now, everything that may pass along some Unicode text will use the Unicode API with some text conversion functions. The only places where calls to the multibyte API were left are those where known string literals are passed or where the information is not used for anything but comparing it to other return values from the same API.
The script side cannot do anything useful with this, because most actions require parameters in global variables, so this is a first grade candidate for rogue mods to make the engine misbehave.
To make things easier, DBIGFONT, SBIGFONT and HBIGFONT will now be renamed in the lump directory to make things a bit easier to handle.
Another change is to make font folders atomic units to prevent cross-pollution between incompatible fonts. The only exception to this are the def* folders because they need to piece together their fonts from both zd_extra.pk3 and the IWADs.
The added table may be overkill but this way the font engine is prepared for things to come.
Currently the text placement in the menu seems a bit broken, that's a task for later.
One sector in an underwater area of KDIZD Z1M3 got tagged with an incorrect Transfer_Heights effect which caused render glitches in that area.
There were also a few AddSectorTag calls without first clearing the sector's tags leading to potentially undefined behavior.
It now reads everything into a two-dimensional TMap and creates a list of mappings that apply to the current setting.
The constant need for reloading was the main blocker in redesigning how Dehacked strings get inserted. Currently they override everything, but IWAD-based Dehacked text shouldn't block PWAD overrides from PWADs' LANGUAGE lumps and instead be treated as coming from an [en default] block.
This also renames the main block from [enu default] to [en default], because it should be treated as the English default for all English locales and not just make it fall through to the base default as it did before.
Now all this content can be localized. However, since this is actual game content it was placed in a secondary file in zd_extra.pk3, so that it won't affect the GPL-compatible status of the main one.
The text file
gzdoom/wadsrc/static/zscript/statscreen/statscreen.txt
is set to use strings called “$ENTERING” and “$FINISHED”, located in the language files, in intermission screens between levels in Heretic. However, these strings are named incorrectly in the language files, instead being written as “$WI_ENTERING” and “$WI_FINISHED” for some reason I’m unaware of. After renaming the original script, the ingame text shows up through what is written in the language files, as intended.
On a miscellaneous note: in GZDoom, the text between levels in Heretic says “Entering:”. In the DOS version, it says “Now entering:”. This is accurately reflected in the English language file, though, and thus faithful to the original when displayed ingame.
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.
- Allows defining of what actor is replacing another for information.
- If multiple arachnotrons, a modder can attribute them as being a replacer of Arachnotron itself, allowing A_BossDeath and GetReplacee to work with it.
This was always used with 'consoleplayer' which really is the only thing making sense here. But this is a part of the global state which should be avoided in play code.
In particular, this makes no real sense in case of secondary maps where it should always return false.
All these required access to the sector's Level reference.
The remaining references to the global 'level' variable are all in deprecated functions which is ok.
LevelLocals on the left side of.a function call will now always be remapped to 'Level', which will either remap to the same-named instance variable or the global deprecated one.
In a few degenerate cases where there is a conflicting local variable named 'level' it may error out but that is unavoidable here but this is very unlikely.
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.
UI always runs on the primary level, so this does not need the ability to operate on multiple levels. Additionally, this can later be set to null when running play code so that scope violations result in an abort.
When player is picked up item that does morph, the corresponding toucher actor is changed in process
Previously, morhing item was removed from original actor leaving player's inventory in inconsistent state

- upload only the dynamic AABB subtree using glBufferSubData
- change internal raytracing stack limit from 16 to 32
- update shadowmap AABB tree after R_SetupFrame for proper frame interpolation
Unlike the other classes, the places where variables from this class were accessed were quite scattered so there isn't much scriptified code. Instead, most of these places are now using the script variable access methods.
This was the last remaining subclass of AActor, meaning that class Actor can now be opened for user-side extensions.
This was the only code using the ViewBob member variable.
This also moves the range check for this variable to its application, because a badly behaved mod can just as easily change it at run time instead of just setting an absurdly large value in the class definition.
The current behaviour offsets to the front of the actor rather than the side, due to an oversight in the code, which oddly is not present in the A_FireBullets equivalent.
This should be less of a drag on the playsim than having each light a separate actor. A quick check with ZDCMP2 showed that the light processing time was reduced to 1/3rd from 0.5 ms to 0.17 ms per tic.
It's also one native actor class less.
The loop never checked if the item was still valid and would continue to try to use it, even after it was removed from the inventory and destroyed.
As native code this just failed silently, but with the VM it needs to be explicitly checked.
Add 'useowncoloradd_{top,mid,bottom}' sidedef properties to the UDMF
spec
Only use side's additive colors if 'useowncoloradd_(top|mid|bottom)' is
set.
Rename UseOwnColors flag to UseOwnSpecialColors

The new specification is more flexible, and allows assigning additive
colors to individual parts of a sector (walls, sprites, flats) and even
individual parts of a side (top, middle, bottom)

- TriggerPainChance(Name mod, bool forcedPain)
- One exception: PainThrehold is only checked in ReactToDamage, since this function does not require checking damage amount.
Unlike everything else from the IWADs this had to use the 'light' keyword in ZScript because this is merely a base class for many others and the light definitions here need to be inheritable.
Many uses of random() & value have been turned into random(0, value).
This is not only more efficient, it also ensures better random distribution because the parameter-less variant only returns values between 0 and 255.
This was done to make reviewing easier, again because it is virtually impossible to search for the operators in the code.
Going through this revealed quite a few places where texture animations were on but shouldn't and even more places that did not check PASLVERS, although they were preparing some paletted rendering.
Considering that the physical texture size should be abstracted away from modding this needs to be done differently.
Doing any calculations with physical texture sizes on the mod side is only going to cause errors so this had been changed to always return scaled size.
- disallow bool as a return value for direct native calls because it only sets the lowest 8 bits of the return register.
- changed return type for several functions from bool to int where the return type was the only thing blocking use as direct native call.
This was the last bit of code standing in the way of making AInventory a fully scripted class.
All that's left to sort out is some variable accesses - the vast majority of them in SBARINFO.
- moved the ALTHUDCF parser PClass::StaticInit, so that it gets done right after creating the actor definitions.
All left to do is not to reallocate the AltHud object for each frame but store it in a better suited place.
Instead of overriding the Massacre method it is preferable to clear the flags causing the bad behavior, most notably ISMONSTER.
