- made bluramount also into a gameinfo option
- negative gl_menu_blur cvar now uses gameinfo option, 0 disables it
- removed gl_menu_blur_enabled since gl_menu_blur==0 does that anyway
- made gl_menu_blur default to -1 to use gameinfo option
- add default gameinfo bluramount options
- 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.
- decided to ditch the widget system I had started to lay out. As it turns out that would make things far more complicated and slower than they need to be.
Note that the Strife status bar does not draw the health bars yet. I tried to replace the hacky custom texture with a single fill operation but had to find out that all the coordinate mangling for the status bar is being done deep in the video code. This needs to be fixed before this can be made to work.
Currently this is not usable in mods because they cannot initialize custom status bars yet.
- allow treatment as one-character string constants as character constants. This became necessary because name constants already use single quotes and are much harder to repurpose due to a higher degree of ambiguity.
- fixed: protected methods in structs were not usable.
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.)
- added a StartSlideshow ACS and ZScript command and extended the functionality to specify the slideshow's name when starting it.
This is for triggering any kind of intermission definition in the middle of a level - keep in mind that this may not be set up to loop!
This method was chosen because it avoids adding variable declarations to the global namespace which would have required a lot more work while polluting the grammar.
This way the global variables can be handled by a small bit of special coding in the struct generator.
* dynamic lights also work in the true color software renderer and have been moved out of the OpenGL menu.
* created a separate software renderer menu and moved all relevant options there.
* delete non-applicable options when running in legacy mode.
* moved the OpenGL preferences menu one level up to eliminate a two-entry GL top level menu.
Since the true color software renderer also handles them there is no point keeping them on the GL side.
This also optimized how they are stored, because we no longer need to be aware of a base engine which doesn't have them.
Note that this completely disables the newly added keywords 'play' and 'ui' for unversioned code to allow using them as identifiers as I have found at least one mod that uses a variable named 'play' that would have been rendered broken otherwise.
This also disables many ZScript only keywords for other parsing jobs.
- made the self pointer of const functions readonly.
This seems to work fine. Both calling a non-const function and trying to assign a value to a member fail with an error message.
This gets only called from within the play code and making it const would block potential use cases that involve changing some internal variables like counters.
Clearscope is a dangerous context and should be limited to the minimum extent possible and preferably be blocked in user code.
This may still need some work on const functions but better have it in now.
This is to block modification of the planes directly. For future-proofness with renderer changes everything that alters these values should go through he function interface.
This map has a door/lift combination that could trap the player without any chance to get out because both elements are so close together that it was almost impossible to trigger the lift. Moved two vertices by one map unit to make enough room.
- use an enum type for ItemFlags, just like it was done for actor flags. Since the flag word is almost full it may soon be necessary to add a second one and then this kind of security check may become necessary.
- made CameraHeight a modifiable actor property - it was readonly before.
- allow accessing the type constants from ZScript, this required quite a bit of explicit coding because the type system has no capabilities to search for basic types by name.
- handle these powerups by actual item checks instead of cheat flags. (The same should also be done for the Frightener and Buddha but those are a bit more complex because they are also real cheats.)
- fixed: It is a bad idea to start a save within an MKEY_Input event. At this time the window chain is not stable because the text input screen is in the middle of being taken down, so the save should be deferred until the next Ticker call of the SaveMenu.
Doing this to Menu itself would not work because the different menus require different parameters.
This also means that all menus that are routed through menu items must inherit from either ListMenu, OptionMenu or GenericMenu.
All other types can only be used internally.
This should complete the menu scriptification.
- do not resolve the backdrop texture to a texture ID at load time. This will allow custom menu classes to use this info differently.
- added a new ZSDF userstring property to dialog pages to give mods more means for customization.
- allow overriding the conversation menu class both globally through MAPINFO and per conversation in ZSDF.
This required splitting A_CallSpecial into a direct wrapper around P_ExecuteSpecial and implementing itself as a script function calling ExecuteSpecial so that this special case can use a version of the function that can be used without an activator.
This also means that the remaining scriptification of the menu is on hold. The player menu would require even more access to critical game data, which is a no-go, and the other remaining menus offer little benefit from getting scriptified.
Making this an object had little to no advantage, except being able to remove the deleter code. Now, with some of the class data already being allocated in a memory arena so that freeing it is easier, this can also be used for the drop item lists which makes it unnecessary to subject them to the GC. This also merges the memory arenas for VM functions and flat pointers because both get deleted at the same time so they can share the same one.
The goal is to get rid of PClassPlayerPawn and PClassInventory so that the old assumption that all actor class descriptors have the same size can be restored
This is important to remove some code that seriously blocks optimization of the type table because that can only be done if types do not need to be replaced.
This reverts commit dd03bb1fcb.
Turns out that making this work in GL will create a complete mess so better remove the option as it would only cause problems.
If a later module reused an existing name for a different class or struct type, this new name would completely shadow the old one, even in the base files.
Changed it so that each compilation unit (i.e. each ZScript and DECORATE lump) get their own symbol table and can only see the symbol tables that got defined in lower numbered resource files so that later definitions do not pollute the available list of symbols when running the compiler backend and code generator - which happens after everything has been parsed.
Another effect of this is that a mod that reuses the name of an internal global constant will only see its own constant, again reducing the risk of potential errors in case the internal definitions add some new values.
Global constants are still discouraged from being used because what this does not and can not handle is the case that a mod defines a global constant with the same name as a class variable. In such a case the class variable will always take precedence for code inside that class.
Note that the internal struct String had to be renamed for this because the stricter checks did not let the type String pass on the left side of a '.' anymore.
- made PEnum inherit from PInt and not from PNamedType.
The old inheritance broke nearly every check for integer compatibility in the compiler, so this hopefully leads to a working enum implementation.
- fixed the return type checks in CallStateChain. These made some bogus assumptions about what return prototypes to support and would have skipped any multi-return function whose first argument was actually usable.
This should for now conclude actor class scriptification. The remaining ten classes with the exception of MorphedMonster are all too essential or too closely tied to engine feature so they should remain native.
* completely scriptified DehackedPickup and FakeInventory.
* scriptified all remaining virtual functions of Inventory, so that its inheritance is now 100% script-side.
* scriptified CallTryPickup and most of the code called by that.
- fixed: Passing local variables by reference did not work in the VM.
- fixed: ClearInventory did not process depleted items properly.
- changed HexenArmor from UNDROPPABLE to UNTOSSABLE because this allowed to remove some special handling in ClearInventory. The only other place which checks this flag also checks UNTOSSABLE.
- replaced Key.KeyNumber with special1. This is only for internal bookkeeping purposes so there's really no need to complicate this with a new variable when this one works just as well.
- ensure that actor defaults contain a valid virtual table and class pointer so that they can actually use virtual and class-dependent method functions. This is needed for retrieving script variables from them.
- added some helpers to set scripted member variables through the native property parser.
Unfortunately some classes, e.g. PowerMorph, MorphProjectile and the powerup contain some that cannot be handled through the 'property' definition on the script side so they need to be done from the native side.
- improved the class pointer to string cast to print the actual type it describes and not the class pointer's own type.
- fixed: The 'is' operator created non-working code when checking the inheritance of a class pointer, it only worked for objects.
This revealed an interesting bug: When the berserk fadout formula was changed in 2005 the result was essentially broken, resulting in values around 7000 - it only worked by happenstance because the lower 8 bits of the resulting values just happened to work to some degree and never overflowed. But the resulting fade was far too weak and a slightly different handling of the color composition code for the VM made it break down entirely.
This restores the pre-2005 formula but weakened intensity which now comes a lot closer to how it is supposed to look.
- support transient object member variables for information that does not need to be put in a savegame.
- fixed: special initialization of objects needs to pass the proper defaults along, otherwise the parent classes will use their own, inappropriate one.
The entire setup was quite broken with each item using its own activation result and the ones of the subsequent items in the list as the return value.
This rendered the STANDSTILL check in the main function totally unpredictable because the value it depended on could come from any item in the list.
Changed it so that the main dispatcher function is part of sector_t and does the stepping through the list iteratively instead of letting each item recursively call its successor and let this function decide for each item alone whether it should be removed.
The broken setup also had the effect that any MusicChanger would trigger all following SecActEnter specials right on msp start.
This can be done with a lot less overhead by using one of the object's properties to store the activation flag, so that all the nearly redundant trigger methods can be folded into one.
This was done to ensure it can be properly overridden in scripts without causing problems when called during engine shutdown for the type and symbol objects the VM needs to work and to have the scripted version always run first.
Since the scripted OnDestroy method never calls the native version - the native one is run after the scripted one - this can be simply skipped over during shutdown.
There are a few which require explicit native construction or destruction that need to be exported to the VM, e.g. FCheckPosition.
The VM cannot handle this directly, it needs two special functions to be attached to handle such elements.
- created script exports for all relevant functions with all integral types.
- created script side definitions for the underlying data types.
- added a void pointer type so that the prototype for the pointer array can use a generic type every pointer can be assigned to.
- made ModifyDamage calls iterative instead of recursive. With going through the VM they'd be too costly otherwise.
- small optimization: Detect empty VM functions right when entering the VM and shortcut them. This is to reduce the overhead of virtual placeholders, which in a few cases (e.g. CanCollideWith and ModifyDamage) can be called quite frequently.
- made some changes to PowerMorph to better deal with recursive calls from UndoPlayerMorph. The flag hackery was only needed because the 'alternative' pointers were cleared far too late.
This function calculated everything correctly but ultimately set the vertical velocity wrong. Most importantly this meant that the actual velocity vector and actor pitch - if CMF_SAVEPITCH was used - did not match.
Since this bug has been present since the pitch parameter was added, this deprecates A_CustomMissile and replaces it with a properly implemented A_SpawnProjectile function and handling the compatibility case with a new flag and a scripted wrapper function.
All internal uses of A_CustomMissile have been replaced as well.
This really serves no use anymore and is mostly a remnant of old times with dark CRT monitors. The default ambient level was set at 20, meaning a sector light level of 40. This is a value actual levels rarely get to, except when using some lighting effects - but it's for those that the ambient clamping did the most damage.
For most attack functions this is wrong, it's only the Hexen fighter attack needing this particular value, so it has been split up into two return values now.
This can see some heavy use in iterators where saving several hundreds of function calls can be achieved. In these cases, using a function to do the job will become a significant time waster.
This will get called for both actors taking part in a collision, if one of the two calls returns false it will immediately abort PIT_CheckThing with no collision taking place at all.
* It will now use #include, just like most other definition formats and can be mixed with regular definitions. However, due to how the Lemon-generated parser works this will not recursively pull in all files, but store them in a list and process them sequentially. Functionally this shouldn't make a difference, because ZScript is mostly order-independent - the only thing where order is important is native classes, but these are completely internal to zdoom.pk3 where proper order is observed.
- fixed PARAM_ACTION_PROLOGUE to assign correct types to the implicit pointers. It gave the actual class to the wrong one, which until now did not matter because all functions were using 'Actor', regardless of actual class association.
- fixed the definition of IceChunk and removed some redundant code here. Since A_FreezeDeathChunks already calls SetState, which in turn calls the state's action function, there is no need to call it again explicitly.
It is utterly pointless to require every function that wants to make a VM call to allocate a new stack first. The allocation overhead doubles the time to set up the call.
With one stack, previously allocated memory can be reused. The only important thing is, if this ever gets used in a multithreaded environment to have the stack being declared as thread_local, although for ZDoom this is of no consequence.
- eliminated all cases where native code was calling other native code through the VM interface. After scriptifying the game code, only 5 places were left which were quickly eliminated. This was mostly to ensure that the native VM function parameters do not need to be propagated further than absolutely necessary.
- added call wrappers and script hooks for all relevant virtuals in AInventory.
- made GetSpeedFactor and GetNoTeleportFreeze entirely scripted because they are too trivial - also do them iteratively, just like HandlePickup, because it's just a better way to do this stuff.
- moved health items to their own file.
- scriptified ScoreItem and MapRevealer whose entire functionality was a small TryPickup method.
- fixed: bit fields in global variables were not correctly written.
This should conclude the inventory cleanup. It is now possible again to find things in there.
- removed the native parts of SpecialBlastHandling. Since this is called from the script side and the only remaining native remnant was an empty function it's now 100% scripted.
- 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.
- Changed the glass shards so that they do not have to override FloorBounceMissile. It was the only place where this was virtually overridden and provided little usefulness.
- made 'out' variables work.
- fixed virtual call handling for HandlePickup.
- added a String class to allow attaching methods to the builtin string type. This works by checking if the left side of the member accessor is a string and just replacing the tyoe in this one place, all the rest is automatic.
- merged the FrontBlock searcher for the Bloodscourge into RoughMonsterSearch. This also fixes the bug that the searcher was not initialized properly for the MageBoss.
- made '->' a single token. Although ZScript does not use it, the parser tends to get confused and fatally chokes on leftover arrows so this ensures more robust error handling.
A few notes:
* this accesses the lines array in sector_t which effectively is a pointer to an array of pointers - a type the parser can not represent. The compiler has no problems with it, so for now it is defined internally.
* array sizes were limited to 65536 entries because the 'bound' instruction only existed as an immediate version with no provisions for larger values. For the static map arrays 65536 is not sufficient so now there are alternative instructions for these cases.
* despite the above, at the moment there is no proper bounds checking for arrays that have no fixed size. To do this, a lot more work is needed. The type system as-is is not prepared for such a scenario.
- fixed: Assignment from a readonly to a read-allowed pointer must be an error.
- made GetDefaultByType a builtin so that it can do proper type assignment to the result, which for a function would be problematic in this case, even if automatic type deduction was implemented. Since this returns the class defaults which are not a real object, the result cannot be subjected to a type cast.
- error out if a type cast of a readonly pointer is attempted.
- fixed: FxBooleanNot could clobber a local variable because it used the source register to manipulate the result.
- fixed issues with the refactoring of the recent commits. This one starts again.
- added builtins for TextureID.
Note about builtins: Currently they are just hacked into the compiler backend. They really should be made part of the respective types to keep matters clean and allow more widespread use of builtins to create more efficient code.
- refactored the ModifyDamage interface to be more scripting friendly.
In general it should be avoided having to call directly into chained inventory functions because they are very problematic and prone to errors. So this got wrapped into a single handler (on AActor, not AInventory!) which will later make it easier to refactor the parameters of ModifyDamage to work better for scripting and avoid the chaining.
Two reasons for this:
1. if this has to be routed through the VM each recursion will cost 1000 bytes of stack space which simply is not good.
2. having the virtual function only care about the item itself but not the entire inventory chain is a lot less error prone for scripting.
Since the scripting interface needs a separate caller function anyway this seemed like a good time to change it. The same will be done for the other chained inventory handlers as well.
- allow switch/case with names.
- fixed break jump target handling for switch/case. This only worked when the break was in the outermost compound statement, those in inner ones were missed.
Interesting tidbit: The damage calculation in P_MinotaurSlam had been incorrect for the Heretic version since the friendly Hexen Dark Servant was added, but nobody ever noticed in 14 years...
- Took the opportunity and fixed the logic for the Skull Rod's rain spawner. The old code which was part of the 3D floor submission was unable to work with portals at all. The new approach no longer tries to hide the dead projectile in the ceiling, it leaves it where it is and changes a few flags, so that its z-position can be used as reference to get the actual ceiling. This works for line portals, but for sector portals still requires some changes to sector_t::NextHighestCeilingAt to work, but at least this can be made to work unlike the old code.
- added names for the player-related translations to A_SetTranslation.
- fixed: Failure to resolve a function argument was checked for, too late.
- made the parameter for A_SetTranslation a name instead of a string, because it is more efficient. We do not need full strings here.
Needless to say, this is simply too volatile and would require constant active maintenance, not to mention a huge amount of work up front to get going.
It also hid a nasty problem with the Destroy method. Due to the way the garbage collector works, Destroy cannot be exposed to scripts as-is. It may be called from scripts but it may not be overridden from scripts because the garbage collector can call this function after all data needed for calling a scripted override has already been destroyed because if that data is also being collected there is no guarantee that proper order of destruction is observed. So for now Destroy is just a normal native method to scripted classes
- scriptified all Effect functions of Fastprojectile's children
- implemented access to class meta data.
- added a VM instruction to retrieve the class metadata, to eliminate the overhead of the function call that would otherwise be needed.
- made GetClass() a builtin so that it can use the new instruction
Important note about this commit: Scriptifying CFlameMissile::Effect revealed a problem with the virtual function interface: In order to work, this needs to be explicitly enabled for each single native class that may be used as a base for a scripted class. Needless to say, this will end up way too much work, as there are over 100 native classes, excluding those which will be scriptified. But in order to fix the problem this partially broken state needs to be committed first.
- fixed: FxAssignSelf did not the correct number of registers for vector operations.
- fixed a few asserts in vector2 instructions.
- turned the virtual AActor::HitFloor method into a flag MF7_SMASHABLE. The only use of this function was to kill Hexen's pottery when they hit the floor, and this looks like something that can be exposed to modders less clumsily.
Zandronum added this so that it could restore the original Skulltag piercing armor capability with a specific puff, like it's done with the other zdoom railgun action functions.
- renamed APowerMorph::Player to avoid accidental confusion with AActor::player, which in scripting is the same due to case insensitvity.
- renamed save key for above variable.
- added new VARF_Transient flag so that the decision whether to serialize a field does not depend solely on its native status. It may actually make a lot of sense to use the auto-serializer for native fields, too, as this would eliminate a lot of maintenance code.
- defined (u)int8/16 as aliases to the byte and short types (Can't we not just get rid of this naming convention already...?)
- exporting the fields of Actor revealed a few name clashes between them and some global types, so Actor.Sector was renamed to CurSector and Actor.Inventory was renamed to Actor.Inv.
- refactored state bitfield members into a flag word because the address of a bitfield cannot be taken, making such variables inaccessible to scripts.
- actually use PNativeStruct for representing native structs defined in a script.
- fixed flag CVAR access. As it turned out, OP_LBIT is a bit messy to set up properly when accessing integers that may or may not be big endian, so it now uses a shift and bit masking to do its work.
- used the SpawnPlayerMissile call in A_FireBFG to test named arguments.
- implemented method calls from struct instances.
- optimized disassembly of VM call instructions to print the function's name at the end where it is more visible and does not need to be truncated. Also use the printable name for script functions here.
- implemented multiple-return-value assignment. Due to some grammar conflicts the originally intended Lua-inspired syntax of 'a, b = Function()' could not be done, so it's '[a, b] = Function()'
- made APlayerPawn::PlayAttacking(2) virtual script functions so that mods have better control over player animations. Note that these have no native base so they skip the templated interface for managing virtual functions.
- changed Dehacked weapon function lookup to check the symbol table instead of directly referencing the VM functions. Once scriptified these pointers will no longer be available.
- removed all special ATAGs from the VM. While well intentioned any pointer tagged with them is basically unusable because it'd trigger asserts all over the place.
- scriptified A_Punch for testing pass-by-reference parameters and stack variables.
- fixed code generation for using local variables as array index. This must use a different register for the array element offset because the original register may not be overwritten.
- fixed several places in the code generator that did not consider locked registers for local variables: array indices, abs and floating point builtin functions.
- added some debug aids to the bounds opcode. Just triggering an exception here which loses all relevant info is perfectly useless in a debug situation.
- added a DActorIterator class.
- fixed: It was not possible to have functions of the same name in two different classes because the name they were searched for was not qualified by the class. Changed so that the class name is included now, but to avoid renaming several hundreds of functions all at once, if the search fails, it will repeat with 'Actor' as class name.
This commit contains preparations for scriptifying Hexen's Dragon, but that doesn't work yet so it's not included.
- added state usage specifiers to Actor and Inventory. The states in these classes must be set to full access so that any existing mod can link to them.
This appears to be the only case where an actor was set to a state owned by a completely unrelated actor which would present some problems with state owner checking in AActor::SetState, so let's better get rid of it ASAP.
I believe the only reason this wasn't changed when all actors were exported 8 years ago was that old binary DEHSUPP lump.
This could cause problems with functions that take states as parameters but use them to set them internally instead of passing them through the A_Jump interface back to the caller, like A_Chase or A_LookEx.
This required some quite significant refactoring because the entire state resolution logic had been baked into the compiler which turned out to be a major maintenance problem.
Fixed this by adding a new builtin type 'statelabel'. This is an opaque identifier representing a state, with the actual data either directly encoded into the number for single label state or an index into a state information table.
The state resolution is now the task of the called function as it should always have remained. Note, that this required giving back the 'action' qualifier to most state jumping functions.
- refactored most A_Jump checkers to a two stage setup with a pure checker that returns a boolean and a scripted A_Jump wrapper, for some simpler checks the checker function was entirely omitted and calculated inline in the A_Jump function. It is strongly recommended to use the boolean checkers unless using an inline function invocation in a state as they lead to vastly clearer code and offer more flexibility.
- let Min() and Max() use the OP_MIN and OP_MAX opcodes. Although these were present, these function were implemented using some grossly inefficient branching tests.
- the DECORATE 'state' cast kludge will now actually call ResolveState because a state label is not a state and needs conversion.
- removed AMinotaurFriend::IsOkayToAttack. The condition it checks (i.e. friendliness with player) is already covered by the base version of this function so this is quite redundant.
- removed a few 'virtual' qualifiers from functions that never get overridden.
Syntax-wise I chose to make it as strict as possible to reduce the chance of errors: Virtual base functions must be declared with the 'virtual' keyword, and overrides in child classes with the 'override' keyword. This way any mismatch in parameters that otherwise would cause silent failure will outright produce a compile error.
- made 'DamageMultiply' an actor property and moved the initialization of ConversationRoot to the property handler for the compiler to get this stuff out of the type classes.
- consolidate default initialization into one function which performs all the required setup. The original implementation did this when adding the fields but that cannot work because at that time no defaults have been created yet.
- fixed: When deriving a class the child class's defaults also must initialize the copied parent fields with special initialization. This part was completely missing.
- removed DECORATE code for parsing native classes because it's no longer needed.
- made some tests about calling script code from native functions.
* scriptified A_SkullAttack to have something to test
* changed the A_SkullAttack call in A_PainShootSkull.
* use a macro to declare the function pointer. Using local static variable init directly results in hideous code for the need of being thread-safe (which, even if the engine was made multithreaded is not needed here.)
* Importsnt node here: Apparently passing an actor pointer to the VMValue constructor results in the void * version being called, not the DObject * version.
- added an 'exact' parameter to FThinkerIterator's Next function. This is mainly for scripting which allows to do a lot more checks natively when running the iterator while looking for one specific class.
- added support for global variables to the code generator - not the compiler, though. For the handful of entries this is needed for it may just as well be done manually. So far FLevelLocals level is the only one being exported.
- fixed: The VM disassembler truncated 64 bit pointers to 15 digits because the output buffer was too small.
- resolve entire FxSequences instead of aborting on the first failed entry. This allows to output all errors at once.
- exported thinker iterator and drop item chain to scripting. Unlike its native counterpart the script-side iterator is wrapped into a DObject to allow proper handling for memory management.
- fixed: The VMFunctionBuilder only distinguished between member and action functions but failed on static ones.
- fixed: FxAssign did not add all needed type casts. Except for purely numeric types it will now wrap the expression in an FxTypeCast. Numeric handling remains unchanged for both performance reasons and not altering semantics for DECORATE.
- exported all internal flags as variables to scripting. They still cannot be used in an actor definition.
- make ATAG_STATE the same as ATAG_GENERIC. Since state pointers exist as actual variables they can take both values which on occasion can trigger some asserts.
- gave PClass a bExported flag, so that scripts cannot see purely internal classes. Especially the types like PInt can cause problems.
Todo: we need readonly references to safely expose the actor defaults. Right now some badly behaving code could overwrite them.
- fixed: FxMinusSign trashed local variables that were used with negation.
- fixed: FxConditional only handled ints and floats, but not pointers and strings.
- fixed: A 'no states in non-actors' error was triggered, even for classes without any states.
- fixed several occurenced where vectors were treated as floats. NOTE: The entire codegen.cpp file needs to be carefully reviewed for bad use of the REGT_ constants, there's probably more places where using them has broken some type checks.
- fixed: committed test version of zscript.txt instead of changed actor.txt by accident.
Initialization and assignment for strings is working with this commit.
- swapped parameters of two-parameter VelToAngle method, so that internal and script version are in line.
- fixed parameter asserts to handle NULL pointers properly.
- fixed: ZCCCompiler did not process array access nodes.
- fixed: Function argument names were not placed in the destination list by the compiler.
- scriptified several trivial functions from p_actionfunctions.cpp.
- disabled the assert in PType::GetRegType. This assert blocks any use to check for types that are incompatible with function parameters.
- pass the default parameter constants to the native functions. At the moment this is not used yet.
- use the function defaults to complete argument lists to script functions.
- fixed all default values that got flagged by the expression evaluator as non-constant. Most were state labels and colors which were defaulted to "". The proper value is null for states and 0 for colors.
- also replaced all "" defaults for names with "none".
- fixed: Script functions did not receive the function name when being created.
- relaxed the asserts for PARAM_STATE, because the VM knows nothing about ATAG_STATE. Any state variable's content (e.g. Actor.SeeState) will receive ATAG_GENERIC, rather than ATAG_STATE.
- added a 'NeedResult' flag so that certain operations can create shorter code if the result of the expression is not needed. So far only used for postdecrement/increment statements on local variables (which is the most frequent case where this matters.)
- fixed postincrement and decrement for local variables. Due to the result preservation semantics it created faulty code.
