This isn't supported with the OpenAL backend, and instead of trying to make a
workaround for it, a better approach would probably be to make a FileReader
implementation that handles URLs.
For some files that had the Doom Source license attached but saw heavy external contributions over the years I added a special note to license all original ZDoom code under BSD.
- replaced TStaticArray with regular TArrays.
They had incomplete implementations preventing proper cleanup of the level loading code. It makes more sense to add the missing methods to the regular TArray and use that.
This also makes some changes to how the game nodes are used to avoid creating a copy: If the head node's pointer is stored in a separate variable, no code needs to check which of the two arrays gets used.
The values were still 8 and 32 respectively which applied to hardware from last decade, but for modern mods these are simply too low. New values are 64 as minimum and 128 as default.
- added script access to a sector's colormap and specialcolors fields. (Writing only through dedicated functions because these fields are render state which may need to trigger some form of refresh if the renderer changes.)
src\s_sound.cpp(1259): warning C4244: 'argument': conversion from 'double' to 'float', possible loss of data
src\c_bind.cpp(479): warning C4101: 'c': unreferenced local variable
- cleaned up the virtual function interface of APlayerPawn which still had many virtual declarations from old times when class properties were handled through virtual overrides. None of this makes sense these days anymore.
- allow recursive linking of $random definitions (as long as they do not link back, see above.)
- fixed the sound precaching which did not handle $alias inside $random. Normally this went undetected but in cases where the random sound index was the same as a sound index in the current link chain this could hang the function.
- changed S_GetMusic to return a const pointer to the actual music name instead of a copy. The only thing this is used for is the savegame code and it has no use for a copy, it can work far more efficiently with a const pointer.
- converted sound and canvas texture serialization.
- refactored file_zip, so that it can be used to load loose zip files and extract their compressed data directly.
- added handling to FSerializer to generate and consume compressed Zip file entries.
If all goes well this will allow saving savegames as Zips when the rework is done, which will make analyzing them a lot easier.
