* it is now possible to switch back to the main intro loop from the fullscreen console.
* do not distort the background of the fullscreen console. Always draw the console on top of what the main loop currently displays with a translucent black overlay.
* do not use the CONPIC for the fullscreen console as it tends to be more of a distraction than an asset when filling the entire screen.
* cleaned up c_console.cpp and moved several pieces of code unrelated to actual console management out of it.
This depended on order of execution, taking the health values to compare from variables which were not synchronized properly.
Now both the last and current health being used here are being retrieved in the same place so that further changes cannot break this again.
* - 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
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.
- offloaded key list generation for alternative HUD to non-UI parts.
This change also revealed a problem with handling empty sprites in the key list so this got fixed, too.
Calling the old method with a pointer to an array of unspecified length 'dirty' would be an understatement.
Now it uses a TArray to store the single elements
This setup has been a constant source of problems so now I reviewed all uses of FName to make sure that everything that needs to be initialized is done manually.
This also merges the player_t constructor into the class definition as default values.
Note that this is just the bare abstract interface. It is up to content makers to define usable HUD message classes and optionally contribute them to the engine.
This allows using the UI scale or its own value, like all other scaling values.
In addition there is a choice between preserving equal pixel size or aspect ratio because the squashed non-corrected versions tend to look odd, but since proper scaling requires ununiform pixel sizes it is an option.
- changed how status bar sizes are being handled.
This has to recalculate all scaling and positioning factors, which can cause problems if the drawer leaves with some temporary values that do not reflect the status bar as a whole.
Changed it so that the status bar stores the base values and restores them after drawing is complete.
- got rid of the image list in the Doom status bar. The cost of the texture lookup is mostly irrelevant here so clearer and shorter code is preferrable.
- moved the box fitting code from DrawTexture into the native function to have all coordinate calculations in one place which is necessary to implement proper alignment default handling. Without higher level functions altering positioning the default can be set to automatic alignment determination, i.e. the value's sign decides where something is placed. Of course for special cases this can be overridden.
- use ANIMDEFS to animate the inventory arrow,
- better handling of ForceScale for the fullscreen HUD that doesn't mess around with CVARs.
- moved the mug shot into the status bar, because this is global state that needs to be shared between different pieces of code which want to display a mug shot.
- SBARINFO should work off the current status bar settings instead of the ones stored in its script object
Note that there is no direct access, all this exposes is a single function to get the current face's texture which then can be drawn using the existing functions.
- merged BaseStatusBar and CustomStatusBar back together.
Since the low level draw functions are better done in native code for both performance and debuggability the split has become pointless.
