not even zvox.wad or the skins directory.
- Minor improvement of Hexen's Demons: They now transfer the translation
to the chunks they spawn so that they look correct if they are color
translated. See Resurrection of Chaos for an example.
- Converted Key gizmos to DECORATE.
- Converted Heretic's Beast (Weredragon) to DECORATE.
- Added a randomness parameter to A_SpawnItemEx. This allows
spawning objects with a random chance without the need to write
complicated A_Jump constructs.
- Converted Heretic's Mummy to DECORATE.
- Converted Hexen's Demons to DECORATE.
SVN r393 (trunk)
- Made the Ettin's and Centaur's howling sound an actor property.
- Added A_CustomComboAttack function to finally have something that can
replace the old A_ComboAttack function.
- Added A_SpawnItemEx function that removes the problems with A_SpawnItem
and which also should make most of the A_CustomMissile abuse unnecessary.
- Added A_QueueCorpse to the list of DECORATE code pointers.
- Made the size of Hexen's corpse queue configurable by CVAR
(sv_corpsequeuesize.) Setting this CVAR to -1 will disable corpse
queuing completely so that even in Hexen all corpses will stay forever.
SVN r392 (trunk)
- Made Hexenarmor factors configurable by DECORATE.
- Added support for selecting the invulnerability mode per item as well.
- Made Invulnerability and Healing radius behavior selectable by player
class instead of hard coding the special behavior to the Hexen classes.
SVN r379 (trunk)
- After doing some tests with state label scopes I had to conclude that
using '.' both for separating sub-state-labels and scope resolution
identifiers does not work reliably unless all actor class names were
prohibited from being used as state labels. Since that is undesirable
the only solution is to change the scope resolution operator. Fortunately
no WADs so far have used it so implementing such a breaking change isn't
a major issue. Now it uses '::', like C++ for this purpose.
- Converted Revenant, Mancubus and Pain Elemental to DECORATE.
SVN r375 (trunk)
- Added a PickupMessage property to the internal actor parser, replaced
most of the virtual PickupMessages with it and placed the code that
reads the metadata into AInventory::PickupMessage. Now the
PickupMessage method is truly virtual and I can do:
Added a Health.LowMessage property to define double message items like
Doom's medikit in DECORATE.
- Since defining Mana3 as an ammo type and then overriding the TryPickup
method means that this item defeats all ammo checks in the game it might
as well be defined as a CustomInventory item. At least this fixes the
amount given in easy and very hard skills.
- Converted all ammo items to DECORATE.
- Changed internal property setting of ammo types and sister weapons
to use fuglyname as for DECORATE definitions. This allows to export
the ammo definitions into DECORATE definitions without doing it for
the weapons themselves.
- Replaced obituary methods with actor properties.
- Fixed: The secret map check didn't work for maps inside Zips.
SVN r196 (trunk)
- Converted a_zombie.cpp and most of a_strifestuff.cpp to DECORATE.
- Converted a_strifekeys.cpp to DECORATE and moved the pickup messages to the
string table.
- Removed the WIF_HITS_GHOSTS weapon flag and replaced it with MF2_THRUGHOST.
There is no need to keep two flags around with virtually the same meaning.
- Changed the ShadowArmor to use the VISIBILITYPULSE flag to change its translucency.
It looks much better now than the cheap code pointer based blinking it used before.
- Converted most of a_strifeitems.cpp to DECORATE and moved the pickup messages
to the string table.
- Converted a_strifearmor.cpp to DECORATE and moved the pickup messages to the
string table.
- Moved the messages for killing spectres to the string table.
- Converted the quest items to DECORATE. Also changed A_GiveQuestItem to get
the messages it prints from the string table instead of the quest item's tag
string.
May 5, 2006 (Changes by Graf Zahl)
- Removed the hopelessly outdated thingdef_doc.txt file from the repository.
- Converted a_peasant.cpp and a_ratbuddy.cpp to DECORATE.
- Fixed: C_DoKey didn't treat an empty string as 'no binding' when checking for
valid double bindings.
- Converted a_merchants.cpp to DECORATE.
- Added MF5_NODAMAGE flag to generalize the behavior of Strife's merchants which
can be shot but take no damage from getting hurt.
- Converted a_beggars.cpp to DECORATE.
- Added an Inventory.GiveQuest property. This makes it possible to define all of
Strife's original items that also give a quest item in DECORATE but it is also
useful to define items like the ones in Day of the Acolyte without ugly workarounds.
- Added a Tag property and Strife teaser conversation IDs to DECORATE so now it is
possible to define many of Strife's items.
- Added a FastSpeed property to DECORATE so that projectiles can finally be
assigned a higher speed for fast mode.
- Added a ACS_LockedExecuteDoor special. It is basically the same as the existing
ACS_LockedExecute but it uses the 'door' message instead of 'remote'. This
cannot be integrated into ACS_LockedExecute because all its arguments are already
in use.
- Added a fully customizable A_CustomMeleeAttack function for DECORATE.
SVN r83 (trunk)
- Converted A_Hexendecorations.cpp
- Changed the lower decal spawning code to transfer the main decal's color if
the lower decal's default color is the same as the main decal's.
- Changed the decal stretcher back to use the specified size parameters as a
scaling factor and not a destination size because this is more consistent with
the rest of the decal code. Also adjusted the blood smear definition in DECALDEF
and the description in the Wiki for this.
- Added Jim's most recent fixes.
SVN r77 (trunk)
- Removed doom.x, heretic.x and strife.x from the SVN repository. These
are generated files.
- Fixed: A_PainDie has to check whether a valid target exists before
calling IsFriend.
- Fixed: FDecalLib::FindAnimator needs a signed counter to work properly.
May 1, 2006 (Changes by Graf Zahl)
- Added support for game specific pickup messages, if only to be able
to define Raven's invulnerability item in DECORATE.
- Removed A_TreeDeath because it is no longer used.
- Fixed: When picking up a PowerupGiver for an active powerup the
blend color and the duration were transferred to a temorary item
and never took effect. They have to be trnasferred to the newly created
powerup item before trying to give it to the player, not afterward.
- Made the colormap of the InvulnerabilitySphere item specific.
The base power class still needs to have its color adjusted
per game though and since Raven's invulnerability item is used in both
Hexen and Heretic it can't define its own colormap/blend.
- Separated the invulnerability colormaps from the game being played
and made them item specific. They can also be specified as regular
blend colors in DECORATE now.
- Converted a_hereticarmor.cpp and most of a_doomartifacts.cpp,
a_hereticartifacts.cpp and a_heretickeys.cpp to DECORATE.
- Changed the Soulsphere to be a real health item with the Dehacked
modifications made in d_dehacked.cpp as for most other items which
need to be adjusted.
- Added IF_BIGPOWERUP flag to AInventory to expose the RESPAWN_SUPER
dmflag to DECORATE. Also removed the now obsolete ShouldRespawn methods
from AInvulnerabilitySphere and ABlurSphere.
- Converted a_splashes.cpp to DECORATE.
- Converted most of a_debris.cpp to DECORATE.
