Now a child type can decide for itself how to treat 'amount'.
The scripting interfaces to this function in ACS and FraggleScript have been consolidated and also scriptified.
It has been like this initially but was changed when ZDoom gained an overly complicated polymorphic class descriptor object that required a lot of support code. All these complications have long been removed but these methods remained. Since they prevent a class from being moved to the script side entirely they had to be removed.
This was the last major blocker to make Weapon a purely scripted class, the only remaining native method is Serialize which is of no concern for the coming work.
- Added a function to the Actor class to get its spawn time relative to the current level.
- Added spawn time information to the output of the "info" console command.
This setup has been a constant source of problems so now I reviewed all uses of FName to make sure that everything that needs to be initialized is done manually.
This also merges the player_t constructor into the class definition as default values.
The problem here is that this affects the public scripting interface so it cannot be committed to master without further adjustments.
# Conflicts:
# src/p_interaction.cpp
todo:
* call a render class function in D_Main that enumerates the capabilities of the current renderer into a global variable to be accessed later
* add a debug-specific cvar to always show all actors, regardless of these filters
* put in checks in the renderer themselves that check both flagsets and reject rendering of any sprite/model that does not fit the definition's criteria
The old version was checking every single actor in every single sector for being affected by a carry scroller if there was so much as a single such scroller in the map.
Changed it so that the scroll thinker flags all actors in the affected sectors so that these expensive calculations can be skipped for everything else.
This change and reduce think time by 1/3 on maps like ZDCMP2 (on the test machine it went down from 6 ms to 4 ms on this map.)
For some files that had the Doom Source license attached but saw heavy external contributions over the years I added a special note to license all original ZDoom code under BSD.
This is to ensure that the Class pointer can be set right on creation. ZDoom had always depended on handling this lazily which poses some problems for the VM.
So now there is a variadic Create<classtype> function taking care of that, but to ensure that it gets used, direct access to the new operator has been blocked.
This also neccessitated making DArgs a regular object because they get created before the type system is up. Since the few uses of DArgs are easily controllable this wasn't a big issue.
- did a bit of optimization on the bots' decision making whether to pick up a health item or not.
