- fixed a few errors in the ACS module serializer.
- reordered a few things to how they were in the old code.
- optimized serialization of the level.Scrolls array to happen within the sector. This is to allow skipping 0-entries which normally constitute the vast majority of them.
- added sanity checks to prevent a savegame from being loaded with an incompatible map
- refactored a few things to simplify serialization.
- started work on main level serializer function.
Note that even with this change it is still not possible to unarchive any thinker pointers before the thinker list has been loaded as it would create broken lists.
Since decals may have thinkers attached this will crash when such a savegame gets loaded, because the thinker lists get reset in P_SerializeThinkers, deleting any thinker that already was processed.
I also added an error message that immediately aborts the save process if such an out-of-sequence thinker is attempted to be written out.
This obviously breaks savegame compatibility again...
- fixed: Visplane checks should only compare the plane flags that are relevant for rendering and mask out the rest.
- floatified FTransform and made the visplane checks a bit less verbose by moving the comparison as an operator into FTransform.
Note that this operator needs forceinline on Visual Studio so that it won't get called as a function.
Note that this required splitting P_SerializeWorld, because sector_t and FSectorPortal contain some actor pointers, for which the same rule applies: Portal linking can only be done after all sectors have been read, meaning it cannot be done along with the rest of the data in these structures.
Obviously such a change breaks savegame compatibility so the min. savegame version had to be increased again.
The old code kept the dead thinker, resulting in constant deletion and recreation of the subsector links and PolyBSP because the interpolation kept running.
Changed it so that the thinker is destroyed and the polyobject gets blocked by setting a new flag.
- some consolidation in p_map.cpp. PIT_CheckLine and PIT_FindFloorCeiling had quite a bit of redundancy which has been merged.
- čontinued work on FMultiBlockLinesIterator. It's still not completely finished.
This was to resolve some circular dependencies with the portal code.
The most notable changees:
* FTextureID was moved from textures.h to doomtype.h because it is frequently needed in files that don't want to do anything with actual textures.
* split off the parts from p_maputl into a separate header.
* consolidated all blockmap related data into p_blockmap.h
* split off the polyobject parts into po_man.h
- store portal data in a separate structure.
- store portal data in savegames because some of this will be changeable later.
- run a cleanup pass after all portals have been created to weed out broken ones.
- add a definition type that's compatible with Eternity Engine's line portal types.
- swapped arg[2] and arg[3] of Line_SetPortal, because the type is more significant than the alignment.
'ceilingterrain' is needed because the top of 3D-floors refers to the model sector's ceiling, so in order to give a 3D floor a terrain it must be assignable to the sector's ceiling.
Note that although it is basically the same property, its actual function bears no relevance to its use in Eternity.
- moved sector secret information from sector_t::special and secretsector to two flag bits in sector_t::Flags.
This is to get rid of the bit masking madness in the floor/ceiling thinkers which need to preserve this bit when they change a sector's type.
Tags are now handled by a tag manager class which stores sector/tag pairs. This way multiple entries can be added per sector.
Since UDMF does not have any arrays the additional tags are stored as a space separated string as 'MoreIDs'.
