- all 5 settings affected by uiscale have been changed to have the exact same semantics: -1, if supported means special scaling, this is available for HUD and status bar, 0 means to use uiscale, any larger value is a direct scaling factor.
- scaling is cut off when the factor is larger than screenwidth/320 or screenheight/200 because anything larger will definitely not fit.
- a lot of code has been cleaned up and consolidated. Especially the message code had an incredible amount of redundancy.
- all scaling options have been moved into a submenu. This menu is not complete, though - it still requires a special menu widget to convey the intended information without confusing the user.
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.
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.
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.
Most of those which still rely on ZDoom's own definition should be gone, unfortunately the code in files that include Windows headers is a gigantic mess with DWORDs being longs there intead of ints, so this needs to be done with care. DWORD should only remain where the Windows type is actually wanted.
This was a tweak that only makes sense when the scaling factors are low, i.e. 2 vs. 3, but for modern high resolutions it will enlarge things a bit too much.
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
- some reorganization of texture precaching so that the renderer can decide what to do with actors.
Just marking the sprite textures loses too much info if more is needed than just loading the images into memory.
- Clang's optional runtime array bounds checking doesn't understand when we
intentionally "overflow" by doing this:
RGB32k[0][0][colorval]
It will warn that it was accessed at an index will past the bounds
of type 'BYTE [32]', which makes it less than useful for catching real
array bounds overflows. So now do this:
RGB32k.All[colorval]
And if you want this:
RGB32k[r][g][b]
Now do this:
RGB32k.RGB[r][g][b]
- Fixed: When locating WhiteIndex and BlackIndex in the palette index 0 was skipped.
- Fixed: When filling an area black for vid_fps or pillarbox/letterbox use GPalette.BlackIndex instead of assuming palette index 0 is black.
SVN r3807 (trunk)
- Initialize the alt HUD explicitly in D_DoomMain.
- don't let S_UnloadReverbDef leave a broken list of sound environments behind.
- Added more code to explicitly delete data before initializing it.
SVN r3039 (trunk)
only has 64 entries and is not precise enough. It now uses finesine instead.
- fixed: When compositing a multipatch texture any patch that is a multpatch
texture itself and contains rotations may not be composited directly into
the destination buffer. This must be done with an intermediate buffer.
- Fixed: Drawing a slider in the options menu did not scale the x-coordinate.
- Fixed: If the alt HUD had to draw negative numbers the minus sign was misplaced
due to incorrect texture coordinate calculations.
- changed option menu scaling for widescreen modes so that it doesn't scale down
so quickly.
- made some error messages in DECORATE that don't affect the parsing non-fatal
so that the parser can continue to find more problems.
SVN r2076 (trunk)
a mild performance increase it's not what I hoped it would do...
- Moved portal initialization for the portal things to P_SpawnSpecials
instead of having the things self-initialize in PostBeginPlay. This was
done to ensure that the portals are fully set up when the game begins.
Otherwise there is no decent way to let the renderer post-process this
information during setup.
- Changed: For 800x600 the default scaling handling of the options menu
makes it become too small so for any resolution with a width between
800 and 959 it has been reverted to the regular clean scaling factor.
