After testing with a savegame on ZDCMP2 which is probably the largest map in existence, timing both methods resulted in a speed difference of less than 40 ms (70 vs 110 ms for reading all sectory, linedefs, sidedefs and objects).
This compares to an overall restoration time, including reloading the level, precaching all textures and setting everything up, of approx. 1.2 s, meaning an increase of 3% of the entire reloading time.
That's simply not worth all the negative side effects that may happen with a method that highly depends on proper code construction.
On the other hand, using random access means that a savegame version change is only needed now when the semantics of a field change, but not if some get added or deleted.
- do not I_Error out in the serializer unless caused by a programming error.
It is better to let the serializer finish, collect all the errors and I_Error out when the game is known to be in a stable enough state to allow unwinding.
- always make the top level object randomaccess when opening a JSON file for reading. Some things won't work right if this is opened for sequential access.
This is so that PNGs can be written to memory, not just to an external file. stdio's FILE cannot be easily redirected but a C++ class can.
The writer is very simple and primitive right now, allowing no seeking, but for the job at hand it is sufficient.
Note that large parts of savegame creation have been disabled, because they are about to be rewritten and it makes no sense to adjust them all before.
- replaced some uses of FRACUNIT with OPAQUE when it was about translucency.
- simplified some overly complicated translucency multiplications in the SBARINFO code.
- Converted P_MovePlayer and all associated variables to floating point because this wasn't working well with a mixture between float and fixed.
Like the angle commit this has just been patched up to compile, the bulk of work is yet to be done.
Patched up everything so that it compiles without errors again. This only addresses code related to some compile error. A large portion of the angle code still uses angle_t and converts back and forth.
This was to resolve some circular dependencies with the portal code.
The most notable changees:
* FTextureID was moved from textures.h to doomtype.h because it is frequently needed in files that don't want to do anything with actual textures.
* split off the parts from p_maputl into a separate header.
* consolidated all blockmap related data into p_blockmap.h
* split off the polyobject parts into po_man.h
- Check if a co-op start exists. If not, pick one at random.
- Don't telefrag other players when spawning in co-op games, since
you're allowed to move out of other players now.
- Disconnect scripts were previously run at some point after the player
left. Now they are run immediately before destroying the player. Since
the player hasn't actually been destroyed yet, the player also gets to
be the script's activator. This gives you a chance to scrape whatever data
you want from the player before they're history. Note that if you do
anything to make the script wait, the script's activator will become the
world, as it was before.

- Added register reuse to VMFunctionBuilder for FxPick's code emitter.
- Note to self: Need to reimplement IsPointerEqual and CheckClass, which
were added to thingdef_function.cpp over the past year, as this file no
longer exists in this branch.
APlayerPawn::GiveDefaultInventory altered the player_t's health value which was ok as long as this function was only called from G_PlayerReborn. For all other cases this initialization was wrong and G_PlayerReborn should do this itself.
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.
- Use functions in gitinfo.cpp to retrieve the strings from gitinfo.h so
that changes to gitinfo.h only require recompiling one file instead of
several.
really long names to -record. On the other hand, if it's long enough to overflow the old
buffer, it'll probably fail to be created now because the name is too long for the OS
functions.

for multiplayer: They now always check through the eyes of every player. For players whose
cameras are not players, they also check through the eyes of those cameras.
- Using spynext/spyprev to switch from a non-player to a player now writes a command to the
network stream and lets Net_DoCommand() take care of it later. The logic here is that if
a player is viewing from something that isn't another player, then every player needs to know
about it for sync purposes. Consequently, when they stop viewing from a non-player and switch
to a player, everybody needs to know about that too. But if they are viewing from a
player, it doesn't matter which player it is, so they can spynext/spyprev all they want
without letting the other players know about it (and without potentially breaking demos--due
to the above-mentioned two codepointers--while doing it during demo playback).
- Replaced the instances of checking players[consoleplayer].camera for a valid pointer to
ones that do it for every player.
- Fixed: Upon changing levels, all players but the consoleplayer would have their cameras NULLed.
- Fixed: player_t::FixPointers() needs to bypass the read barriers, or it won't be able to
do substitutions of old objects that are pending deletion.
SVN r3448 (trunk)
- When loading a game from the menu, do not hide the fullscreen console until we know we can
load the save. Otherwise, the gamestate goes invalid if the save is no good.
SVN r3187 (trunk)
- The 'savebuffer' variable still existed?
- Changed AInventory::Destroy to NULL SendItemUse and SendItemDrop if they point to the destroyed object. Although unlikely it can't be ruled out completely that this can happen with delayed CCMDs.
- fixed: Starting a new game did not clear the hub statistics array.
SVN r3034 (trunk)
player does not immediately activate switches. oldbuttons was not usable
for this. This also required that CopyPlayer preserves this info.
- Fixed: When restarting the music there was a NULL pointer check missing
so it crashed when the game was started wi
- Fixed: If the Use key is used to respawn the player it must be cleared
so that it doesn't trigger any subsequent actions after respawning.
- Fixed: Resurrecting a monster did not restore flags5 and flags6.
- Fixed: Projectiles which killed a non-monster were unable to determine
what precisely they hit because MF_CORPSE is only valid for monsters.
A new flag, MF6_KILLED that gets set for all objects that die, was added
for this case.
- Added a generic A_Weave function that exposes all possible options of
A_BishopMissileWeave and A_CStaffMissileSlither. These 2 functions are
no longer needed from DECORATE and therefore deprecated.
SVN r2045 (trunk)
The editor number for player start spot 5 is now stored in the game info
so that there's only one place where this check needs to be done.
- Fixed: WIF_NOAUTOAIM only worked for projectiles unlike Skulltag's original
implementation.
SVN r1997 (trunk)
completely ignore them, either).
- Separated light level fixing out of player_t's fixedcolormap parameter.
Using a fixed light level (e.g. PowerTorch) will no longer wipe out
colored lighting.
- Moved the blending rectangle drawing into a separate discrete stage, since
doing it while copying the 3D view window to the display now blends
underneath the weapon instead of on top of it.
- Consolidated the special colormaps into a single 2D table.
- Tweaked the special colormaps slightly to make the true color results more
closely match the paletted approximations.
- fb_d3d9_shaders.h was getting unwieldy, so I moved the shaders out of the
executable and into zdoom.pk3. Shaders are still precompiled so I don't need
to pull in a dependancy on D3DX.
- Added a few more shaders to accomodate drawing weapons with all the in-game
lighting models. These are accessed with the new DrawTexture tags
DTA_SpecialColormap and DTA_ColormapStyle.
- Player weapon sprites are now drawn using Direct3D and receive all the
benefits thereof.
SVN r1858 (trunk)
* MBF's dog (definition only, no sprites yet.)
* User variables. There's an array of 10. They can be set and checked in both DECORATE and ACS.
* Made the tag name changeable but eliminated the redundancy of having both the meta property and the individual actor's one. Having one is fully sufficient. TO BE FIXED: Names are case insensitive but this should better be case sensitive. Unfortunately there's currently nothing better than FName to store a string inside an actor without severely complicating matters. Also bumped savegame version to avoid problems with this change.
SVN r1823 (trunk)
- Fixed: The non-Windows CreatePath can fail if part of the path already
exists, because mkdir will return an error code for trying to recreate
an existing directory.

that were changed some time ago.
- fixed: The damage inflictor for a rail attack was the shooter, not the puff.
- Fixed: Floor and ceiling huggers may not change their z-velocity when seeking.
- Fixed: UDMF set the secret sector flag before parsing the sector's properties,
resulting in it always being false.
- Renamed sector's oldspecial variable to secretsector to better reflect its
only use.
- Fixed: A_BrainSpit stored as the SpawnShot's target the intended BossTarget,
not itself contrarily to other projectile spawning functions.
A_SpawnFly then used the target for CopyFriendliness, thinking it'll be the
BossEye when in fact it wasn't.
- Added Gez's submission for a DEHACKED hack introduced by Boom.
(using code pointers of the form 'Pointer 0 (x statenumber)'.
- fixed: Attaching 3DMidtex lines by sector tag did not work because lines
were marked by index in the sector's line list but needed to be marked by
line index in the global array.
- fixed: On Linux ZDoom was creating a directory called "~.zdoom" for
save files because of a missing slash.
- fixed: UDMF was unable to read floating point values in exponential format
because the C Mode scanner was missing a definition for them.
- fixed: The recent changes for removing pointer aliasing got the end sequence
info from an incorrect variable. To make this more robust the sequence index
is now stored as a hexadecimal string to avoid storing binary data in a string.
Also moved end sequence lookup from f_finale.cpp to the calling code so that
the proper end sequences can be retrieved for secret exits, too.
SVN r1777 (trunk)
in the gameinfo.
- Added Yes/No selections for Y/N messages so that you can answer them
entirely with a joystick.
- Fixed: Starting the menu at the title screen with a key other than Escape
left the top level menu out of the menu stack.
- Changed the save menu so that cancelling input of a new save name only
deactivates that control and does not completely close the menus.
- Fixed "any key" messages to override input to menus hidden beneath them and
to work with joysticks.
- Removed the input parameter from M_StartMessage and the corresponding
messageNeedsInput global, because it was redundant. Any messages that want
a Y/N response also supply a callback, and messages that don't care which
key you press don't supply a callback.
- Changed MKEY_Back so that it cancels out of text entry fields before
backing to the previous menu, which it already did for the keyboard.
- Changed the menu responder so that key downs always produce results,
regardless of whether or not an equivalent key is already down.
SVN r1753 (trunk)
methods. Analog axes now respond Button_Speed and cl_run in exactly the
same way as digital buttons do.
- Changed rounding slightly for analog axis -> integer in G_BuildTiccmd().
- Fixed: FXInputController::ProcessThumbstick() was slightly off when it
converted to the range [-1.0,+1.0].
SVN r1733 (trunk)
and loading, XInput, allow axes to be used as buttons (for the Xbox
controller's trigger buttons), allow the joystick to move through the
menus, and my PS2 adapter which has no Vista x64 drivers.
* I'm sure SDL is broken again. Don't bother reporting it, because I already know.
SVN r1680 (trunk)
took far too long to reach this point.) Manual axis configuration is
currently disabled, since I need to rewrite that, too. The eventual point of
this is that the code will be modular enough that I can just plop in
routines for XInput controllers and driver-less PlayStation 2 adapters
without much fuss, since the old joystick code was very much DirectInput-
centric.
