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.
- For when IWADs are too specific, filter by the base gametype too.
- Minor small edits to the sndinfo.txt files so that zipdir will notice
the changes, since it doesn't check path names when checking for
file differences.
This method has the advantage that it also works for models, xy-billboarded sprites and walls that require complex splitting of the polygon. The old method using actual polygon splitting only works for strictly vertical data that could be trivially split in two.
- Previously, calling ReallocBuffer with a smaller buffer size than the
current one could overwrite unallocated memory. This required that the
string it was called on had more than one reference and therefore
required creating a new copy. The entire original string would be
copied, whether it fit in the new buffer or not.
- fixed: The 'may not be expanded' state should be stored in the texture and reused later. This also needs to revalidate the material if it decides that expansion should be disallowed.
- In order to get reliable results the empty border around scaled sprites must be the same scale as the sprite (i.e. 2 pixels for 2x scale and 4 pixels for 4x scale.)
This is to allow easier merging with future ZDoom changes
It was done this way only to avoid having to deal with SVN's poor merging capabilities but with Git this is no longer an issue.
The OpenGL submenus will remain where they are, though.
- This means the original need for $ifdoom, $ifheretic, etc directives is
no more, but they need to stay for compatibility with third-party wads
that use them.
- 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.
