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.
The text input field for the configs have been removed. Instead it will now present a list of soundfonts that are found in specific locations.
For that it will look in the 'soundfont' directories of the FileSearch.Directories entry of the config.
Acceptable file formats here are SF2 and zipped GUS patch sets. These zipped patch sets need to have a timidity.cfg at the root and refer to all containing data by relative path. References to outside files are not allowed here.
It is still possible to refer to sound fonts elsewhere on the hard drive by manually entering a path at the console - but these won't show in the menu and will get lost if one cycles through the list of available options.
Of the available softsynths, FluidSynth will only list SF", Wildmidi will only list GUS patch sets and Timidity++ and GUS will list both.
Please note that although the GUS synth can read SF2, the output appears to be broken die to some old bug.
- moved timer definitions into their own header/source files. d_main is not the right place for this.
- removed some leftover cruft from the old timer code.
Testing with Adventures of Square this mostly works, but it is clear that a list of old and deleted CVARs still needs to be added so that any items referring to those can be eliminated as well. Some stuff is still slipping through that refers to features which no longer exist.
Sadly, some mods are truly careless enough to modify the engine internal menus to add their own things, which should have no business whatsoever in there.
As an example, in a D4D version released in May, the Display Options menu is showing quite a bit of outdated content and missing important settings.
- added a '-nocustommenu' command line options. This is for disabling user menus that intentionally or accidentally disable crucial menu features.
- do not allow replacement of the main options menu. This menu contains engine-critical settings and may change at any time when new features get added. For now it will be the only one that gets protected but this may soon be extended to some of its submenus as well.
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.
Let's use inline checkers in PType instead of constantly having to do clumsy IsKindOf checks etc. Once complete this also means that the types can be taken out of the class hierarchy, freeing up some common names.
Currently this is only being used for draw operations that are not automap related, i.e. DrawLine, DrawPixel and FillSimplePoly are not subjected to it.
- 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
This makes VMValue a real POD type with no hacky overloads and eliminates a lot of destructor code in all places that call a VM function. Due to the way this had to be handled, none of these destructors could be skipped because any value could have been a string.
This required some minor changes in functions that passed a temporary FString into the VM to ensure that the temporary object lives long enough to be handled. The code generator had already been changed to deal with this in a previous commit.
This is easily offset by the code savings and reduced maintenance needs elsewhere.
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.
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.
This one was particularly nasty because Windows also defines a DWORD, but in Windows it is an unsigned long, not an unsigned int so changing types caused type conflicts and not all could be removed.
Those referring to the Windows type have to be kept, fortunately they are mostly in the Win32 directory, with a handful of exceptions elsewhere.
This addresses the main issue with TObjPtr, namely that using it required pulling in the entire class hierarchy in basic headers like r_defs which polluted nearly every single source file in the project.
src/menu/menu.cpp:806:20: error: cannot pass non-trivial object of type 'FString' to variadic function; expected type from format string was 'char *' [-Wnon-pod-varargs]
This will store class meta properties in a separate memory block so that it won't have to muck around with PClass - which made the implementation from the scripting branch relatively useless because extending the data wasn't particularly easy and also not well implemented. This can now be handled just like the defaults.
This reverts commit 76a44ebf9c.
Fix was done in the wrong place, it should be inside the script so that script-side calls to open a confirmation screen also get proper treatment.
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.
