This has an important implication:
Previously the config was loaded before IWADINFO so in order to allow the config to access the data this had to be switched around.
This means that zdoom.pk3 will not be looked for in the global IWAD search paths anymore, but since it shouldn't be there to begin with it should be an acceptable compromise.
As a result the old 'Group' property could be removed and all other means to get a section name were disabled.
As an example, if the code gets 'doom.doom2.commercial' it will use the following sections in this order:
global.autoload
doom.autoload
doom.doom2.autoload
doom.doom2.commercial.autoload.
- Multi-directory archives (e.g. zips) now support filtering lumps
depending on the loaded IWAD. The search rules are the same as for the
Autoload entries in the user's ini. For instance, if you are playing
Doom 2, the following filters will be applied:
* "filter/doom2/*"
* "filter/doom/*"
They will be renamed to strip out the "filter/doom2/" and "filter/doom/"
parts and will be ordered so they take precedence over any files not
inside a filter/ directory. Any files inside another filter/ directory
(e.g. "filter/hexen/*") will be ignored.
- Fixed: Using +set cvarname and +cvarname on the command line would not
work if cvarname was defined in CVARINFO. This should be the proper way to fix
it. Rather than move all command line execution after loading CVARINFO,
keep command line execution before wads are loaded. If an attempt is
made to set an unknown cvar or to run an unknown command (which could
potentially be shorthand for setting an unknown cvar), save it and try
running it again after all CVARINFOs have been handled.
Even when '+logfile' argument was omitted, the console would print 'Could not start log', because 'logfile != NULL' was used as a check for the presence of '+logfile' argument, but the internal buffer of FString is never NULL, so the right check is 'logfile.isNotEmpty()'.
While I'm at it, I fixed another bad check for 'pagename'.
- added version check for Windows 8. I also would have liked to add 8.1 but due to some incredibly stupid changes in the version API it's no longer possible to reliably retrieve the correct Windows version for later builds.
- Command-line console commands are executed before a level is entered, so
trying to use +warp to position yourself at a specific location will not
work. We now specially handle this command so that it does work.
- Fixed: You could not set any CVARINFO-defined cvars from the command line
because command line console commands were executed before wads were
even loaded. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything that would\
break by having them get executed after wads are loaded.
The 'unix' identifier isn't defined when '-std' is passed to the compiler (tested with gcc and clang), so use '__unix__' which is well enough documented.
- Separated CVAR_MODARCHIVE into CVAR_MOD|CVAR_ARCHIVE so that mod-defined cvars can still be
identified when they aren't meant to be archived.
SVN r4281 (trunk)
of the form:
<scope> [noarchive] <type> <name> [= <defaultvalue>];
Where <scope> is one of:
* server: This cvar is shared by all players, and in network games, only select players can
change it.
* user: Each player has their own copy of this cvar, which they can change independently.
To prevent the cvar from being written to the config file, add noarchive to its definition.
<Type> is one of:
* int: An integral value. Defaults to 0.
* float: A value that can include a fraction. Defaults to 0.0.
* color: A color value. Default to black ("00 00 00").
* bool: A boolean value that can hold either true or false. Defaults to false.
* string: A string value. It's not too useful for mods but is included for completeness. Defaults to "".
<Name> is the cvar's name and must begin with a letter and may only include alphanumeric
characters and the underscore character.
If you wish a non-standard default add an = character after the cvar's name followed by the
default value you want to use. Example:
server int mymod_coolness = 10;
- Fixed: FStringCVar::SetGenericRepDefault() did not make a copy of the input string.
