channel when restarting the song, rather than emitting a single note off
event which only has a 1 in 127 chance of being for a note that's playing
on that channel. Then I decided it would probably be a good idea to reset
all the controllers as well.
- Increasing the size of the internal Timidity stream buffer from 1/14 sec
(copied from the OPL player) improved its sound dramatically, so apparently
Timidity has issues with short stream buffers. It's now at 1/2 sec in
length. However, there seems to be something weird going on with
corazonazul_ff6boss.mid near the beginning where it stops and immediately
restarts a guitar on the exact same note.
- Added a new sound debugging cvar: snd_drawoutput, which can show various
oscilloscopes and spectrums.
- Internal TiMidity now plays music.
- Changed the progdir global variable into an FString.
SVN r900 (trunk)
can be played as OPL can also be dumped.
- Removed the opl_enable cvar, since OPL playback is now selectable as just
another MIDI device.
- Added support for DRO playback and dual-chip RAW playback.
- Removed MUS support from OPLMUSSong, since using the OPLMIDIDevice with
MUSSong2 works just as well. There are still lots of leftover bits in
the class that should probably be removed at some point, too.
- Added dual-chip dumping support for the RAW format.
- Added DosBox Raw OPL (.DRO) dumping support. For whatever reason,
in_adlib calculates the song length for this format wrong, even though
the exact length is stored right in the header. (But in_adlib seems buggy
in general; too bad it's the only Windows version of Adplug that seems to
exist.)
- Rewrote the OPL dumper to work with MIDI as well as MUS.
SVN r872 (trunk)
Missimp.mid sounds a lot better now, though still a little off.
- Fixed: MIDI files that had ticks with nothing but meta-events did not play
properly. (fixes sonic3_finalboss.mid)
SVN r868 (trunk)
advanced sound options menu. Removed opl_enable from the menu.
- Added OPL synth as MIDI device -3. Since this is based on the MUS player
code, it only supports those events and controllers supported by MUS.
Some of Duke's MIDIs sound awful, but I think that may be more because
it's using different instruments... There's a thread in the MIDI streamer
class that could be taken out for Linux, since it doesn't need to deal
with the Windows Multimedia API, but for now, this is still Windows-only.
SVN r864 (trunk)
floats, so I can write its output directly to the stream buffer. In
addition, this lets me bring the OPL volume level much closer to the
standard MIDI volume.
SVN r863 (trunk)
into a general MIDI player.
- Fixed: Passing false for a stream callback did not stop the stream.
- Removed opl_frequency, since the only time the emulation sounds good is
when it plays at the exact frequency of a real chip.
- Music no longer plays at all when snd_musicvolume is 0.
- Bumped up snd_sfxvolume and snd_musicvolume default values.
SVN r862 (trunk)
that the drivers will treat a BackBufferCount of 0 as a request for
double buffering.
- Fixed: Unsetting a cvar did not remove it from the list of tab
completions.
- Added "" as a synonym for "nullimage" in SBARINFO.
- Fixed: MAKESAVESIG's stringifier in version.h did not work as expected.
It stringified the passed macro name, not the value of the macro.
- Moved DCajunMaster off the DObject hierarchy.
- Changed DCajunMaster::getspawned into a TArray of FStrings. It was
mysteriously being left pointing to uninitialized memory during the
final GC at exit and crashing.
- Fixed: The code that removed hexdd.wad from the list of IWADs when
hexen.wad was not present did not work.
SVN r861 (trunk)
from doing prebuffering of the song. This was causing the Linux version to
hang while waiting for input from the pipe, since Timidity hadn't been
started yet. I tried using a select call in the FillStream() method, but it
always seems to return the pipe as having nothing available. Unfortunately,
the game still falls all over itself if Timidity isn't available. Instead
of execvp failing nicely, X errors kill the game. I don't know why it's
doing that. My advice for Linux music: Skip Timidity++ and get a DLS patch
set (/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/gm.dls is probably the most common by far)
and set the snd_midipatchset cvar to point to it. It's faster and also
sounds a whole lot better than the crappy freepats Ubuntu wants to install
with Timidity++.
- GCC fixes.
SVN r858 (trunk)
the song's relative volume takes effect.
- Removed the arbitrary 1024 bytes limit when the file being played is a MIDI
file. I had a D_DM2TTL that's only 990 bytes.
- Restructured I_RegisterSong so that $mididevice works again and also supports
selecting FMOD.
SVN r857 (trunk)
- Removed movie volume from the sound menu and renamed some of the other
options to give the MIDI device name more room to display itself.
- Moved the midi device selection into the main sound menu.
- Added FMOD as MIDI device -1, to replace the MIDI mapper. This is still the
default device. By default, it uses exactly the same DLS instruments as the
Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth. If you have another set DLS level 1 patch set
you want to use, set the snd_midipatchfile cvar to specify where it should
load the instruments from.
- Changed the ProduceMIDI function to store its output into a TArray<BYTE>.
An overloaded version wraps around it to continue to supply file-writing
support for external Timidity++ usage.
- Added an FMOD credits banner to comply with their non-commercial license.
- Reimplemented the snd_buffersize cvar for the FMOD Ex sound system. Rather
than a time in ms, this is now the length in samples of the DSP buffer.
Also added the snd_buffercount cvar to offer complete control over the
call to FMOD::System::setDSPBufferSize(). Note that with any snd_samplerate
below about 44kHz, you will need to set snd_buffersize to avoid long
latencies.
- Reimplemented the snd_output cvar for the FMOD Ex sound system.
- Changed snd_samplerate default to 0. This now means to use the default
sample rate.
- Made snd_output, snd_output_format, snd_speakermode, snd_resampler, and
snd_hrtf available through the menu.
- Split the HRTF effect selection into its own cvar: snd_hrtf.
- Removed 96000 Hz option from the menu. It's still available through the
cvar, if desired.
- Fixed: If Windows sound init failed, retry with DirectSound. (Apparently,
WASAPI doesn't work with more than two speakers and PCM-Float output at the
same time.)
- Fixed: Area sounds only played from the front speakers once you got within
the 2D panning area.
SVN r854 (trunk)
xlat_parser.y because both files had the same time stamp after an update,
and Lemon only rewrites the header file if it's changed.
- Added $volume SNDINFO command. This is multiplied with the volume the sound
is played at to arrive at the final volume (before distance attenuation).
- Added the CHAN_AREA flag to disable 3D panning within the min distance of a
sound. Sector sound sequences (except doors) use this flag.
- Added the CHAN_LOOP flag to replace the S_Looped* sound functions.
- Restored the sound limiting.
SVN r849 (trunk)
contain enough music to fill the initial output buffers.
- Removed the read barrier around ADehackedPickup::RealPickup. If the real
pickup is picked up, it may very well destroy itself before the dehacked
wrapper's stubs that use it are called.
- Reverted revision 840. For a file we don't want end users to be touching,
making DEHSUPP plain text sends out mixed messages: "Don't mess with this.
Oh, by the way, it's plain text now to make it easier for you to edit."
Is there some reason other than a desire to do away with binary lumps to
make the distributed lump text?
- Added a new speakermode for Stereo + HRTF: "Headphones". This is the only
way to get the HRTF low pass filter effect now.
- Fixed: No more than one sector could make noise at once.
- Trying out sound without varying priorities again.
- Fixed: Need to use setSpeakerMix to let 2D sounds (aka streamed music) use
their full volume range.
SVN r842 (trunk)
subject to channel overriding.
- Re-added priority selection based on sound usage.
- Reduced the number of virtual channels to match the number of real
channels.
- Added customizable rolloff, including Doom's standard linear gain rolloff.
SNDINFO commands are:
$rolloff <sound> <min distance> <max distance> -- linear gain (like Doom)
$rolloff <sound> linear <min distance> <max distance> -- linear volume
$rolloff <sound> log <min distance> <rolloff factor> -- logarithmic
$rolloff <sound> custom <min distance> <max distance> -- use SNDCURVE lump
Anything closer than min distance is full volume and anything further than
max distance is inaudible. Logarithmic rolloff does not have a maximum
distance; it has a scalar that controls how quickly the volume drops off
instead.
SVN r834 (trunk)
- Fixed: Heretic linetype translations included the wrong file.
- Removed all 2D sound positioning code from s_sound.cpp. Everything uses
FMOD's 3D engine now.
- Removed all the channel selection code from s_sound.cpp. FMOD has code to
handle this sort of thing, so let's use it.
- Replaced S_StopSoundID() with S_CheckSingular(). There is no longer a limit
on the number of copies of a particular sound that can be playing at once,
aside from Strife's special singular sounds. (Sorry, Heretic and Hexen.)
Consequently, the SNDINFO $limit command is now ignored.
- Removed ATTN_SURROUND, since FMOD Ex doesn't exactly support it, and it
only worked as intended on stereo speakers anyway.
- Cleaned out ancient crud from i_sound.cpp.
SVN r826 (trunk)
- Added a cheap pitch shifting for underwater environments that should be fairly
close to Duke's. It sounds okay for some sounds, but others like the BFG, where
the timing of the sound actually matters, don't sound good. I shall have to
replace it with a real pitch shifter DSP unit.
SVN r819 (trunk)
list, it should just be ignored during the propagation stage.
- After sleeping on it and realizing what was really going in, I generalized
the inventory fix from the 13th: The actor is flagged by Destroy(), then it
is later inserted into the thinker list by DThinker::SerializeAll(). So
rather than unlinking the skipped player from their inventory, just make
sure any flagged thinkers aren't inserted into a list.
- Fixed: FCanvasTextureInfo::Viewpoint needed a read barrier, and the whole
list should serve as a root.
- Reimplemented SPC playback as a custom codec for FMOD.
- Removed spc_frequency, because snes_spc only supports the SPC's native
frequency of 32000 Hz.
SVN r806 (trunk)
spc_amp from a x.4 fixed point number to a normal float.
- Switched SPC playback from the external SNESAPU.DLL to Blargg's LGPL
snes_spc library. I've compiled it with the fast DSP rather than the
highly accurate one, since I didn't notice a meaningful difference between
the two in my limited testing. In short: SPC playback is now built in to
ZDoom. You don't need to download anything extra to make it work, and it
also works on Linux as well as Windows (though building with Linux is
currently untested).
- Fixed: Stereo separation was calculated very wrongly when in 2D sound mode.
SVN r794 (trunk)
that explicitly for 2D sounds in 3D mode.
- Fixed: I had forgotten to actually set the head relative flag for 2D sounds
played in 3D.
- Fixed: Reverb was applied to digital music in software 3D mode.
SVN r793 (trunk)
for FMOD Ex while at the same time removing support for FMOD 3. Be sure to update
your SDKs. GCC users, be sure to do a "make cleandep && make clean" before
building, or you will likely get inexplicable errors.
- Fixed: If you wanted to make cleandep with MinGW, you had to specifically
specify Makefile.mingw as the makefile to use.
- Added a normalizer to the OPL synth. It helped bring up the volume a little,
but not nearly as much as I would have liked.
- Removed MIDI Mapper references. It doesn't work with the stream API, and
it doesn't really exist on NT kernels, either.
- Reworked music volume: Except for MIDI, all music volume is controlled
through GSnd and not at the individual song level.
- Removed the mididevice global variable.
- Removed snd_midivolume. Now that all music uses a linear volume scale,
there's no need for two separate music volume controls.
- Increased snd_samplerate default up to 48000.
- Added snd_format, defaulting to "PCM-16".
- Added snd_speakermode, defaulting to "Auto".
- Replaced snd_fpu with snd_resampler, defaulting to "Linear".
- Bumped the snd_channels default up from a pitiful 12 to 32.
- Changed snd_3d default to true. The new cvar snd_hw3d determines if
hardware 3D support is used and default to false.
- Removed the libFLAC source, since FMOD Ex has native FLAC support.
- Removed the altsound code, since it was terribly gimped in comparison to
the FMOD code. It's original purpose was to have been as a springboard for
writing a non-FMOD sound system for Unix-y systems, but that never
happened.
- Finished preliminary FMOD Ex support.
SVN r789 (trunk)
it seems to have a working volume control.
- Renamed music_midi_stream.cpp to music_midi_base.cpp.
- Moved the WinMM MIDI code into a new container class.
SVN r787 (trunk)
class so they all the low-level details of MIDI streaming are kept in
one place.
- Converted the SMF MIDI playback to use the same MIDI streams as MUS
playback.
- Moved MUS playback back into its own thread so that it can continue
uninterrupted if the main thread is too busy to service it in a timely
manner.
- Fixed: The MEVT_* values are not defined shifted into their spot for a
MIDIEVENT, so I need to do it myself.
- Fixed: Pausing a MUS and the changing snd_midivolume caused the paused
notes to become audible.
SVN r784 (trunk)
of ZDoom, except now the entire song isn't prebuffered in large chunks, so
I can insert MIDI events into the playback with fairly low latency. This
should offer more precise timing than the combination of low-level MIDI and
WaitForSingleObject timeouts.
SVN r783 (trunk)
high to pass through two-sided lines, but not ones that were too low.
- Fixed: SBARINFO couldn't detect the extreme death damage type for the
player face animation.
SVN r782 (trunk)
- reverted removal of AddPatch call in crosshair initialization.
- Modified makewad.c so that it doesn't write file names with '[]^' to the dependency file. Apparenly make
can't handle these names and an incomplete list is still better than something that doesn't work at all.
SVN r719 (trunk)
installation, not the bundled copies which might not match what is installed.
- Upgraded bundled FLAC from version 1.1.2 to version 1.2.1.
SVN r575 (trunk)
- Fixed: The FMOD stream player must specify whether it wants to play the
sound looped or not when playback is started, not when the stream is created.
- Fixed: A_Saw didn't use the puff's damage type.
- Fixed: The AxeBlood's death state was using the wrong sprite frame.
- Fixed: The Mancubus had an attack sound defined even though it shouldn't.
SVN r565 (trunk)
from the wrong variable in a few places resulting in incorrect calculations.
- Fixed: MP3/OGG music always looped because the looping flag was always
set when FMOD was called to play it.
- Removed upper limit of 1 for an actor's gravity factor.
- Fixed: A_VileTarget spawned the fire at coordinate (target->x, target->x)
instead of (target->x, target->y). (Old vanilla bug.)
SVN r550 (trunk)
behind because it couldn't delete them.
- added a $MidiDevice option to SNDINFO which can either set the preferred
MIDI device for a song to Timidity or Windows' standard MIDI device.
The reason for this: About 80% of my MIDI music collection sounds better
with Timidity and the other 20% with Windows' standard synth and I'd like
to be able to use each with the one that sounds better. For MUS files you
can also force the use of OPL playback.
- added telefrag option to A_SpawnItemEx.
SVN r545 (trunk)
samples, a problem for the alternate sound renderer if it happened to be
playing any sounds at the time, since it would try to keep on playing them.
SVN r483 (trunk)
from the renderer in case the camera changed position or direction since
the last time it was looked through. Otherwise, the renderer will
interpolate from its previous view for one frame when it is switched to.
- Fixed non-POD parameter passing for GCC introduced in the previous commit.
SVN r476 (trunk)
warnings. At first, I was going to try and clean them all up. Then I decided
that was a worthless cause and went about just acting on the ones that
might actually be helpful:
C4189 (local variable is initialized but not referenced)
C4702 (unreachable code)
C4512 (assignment operator could not be generated)
SVN r420 (trunk)
be surprised if it doesn't work.
- Reorganized the network startup loops so now they are event driven. There is
a single function that gets called to drive it, and it uses callbacks to
perform the different stages of the synchronization. This lets me have a nice,
responsive abort button instead of the previous unannounced hit-escape-to-
abort behavior, and I think the rearranged code is slightly easier to
understand too.
- Increased the number of bytes for version info during D_ArbitrateNetStart(),
in preparation for the day when NETGAMEVERSION requires more than one byte.
- I noticed an issue with Vista RC1 and the new fatal error setup. Even after
releasing a DirectDraw or Direct3D interface, the DWM can still use the
last image drawn using them when it composites the window. It doesn't always
do it but it does often enough that it is a real problem. At this point, I
don't know if it's a problem with the release version of Vista or not.
After messing around, I discovered the problem was caused by ~Win32Video()
hiding the window and then having it immediately shown soon after. The DWM
kept an image of the window to do the transition effect with, and then when
it didn't get a chance to do the transition, it didn't properly forget about
its saved image and kept plastering it on top of everything else
underneath.
- Added a network synchronization panel to the window during netgame startup.
- Fixed: PClass::CreateDerivedClass() must initialize StateList to NULL.
Otherwise, classic DECORATE definitions generate a big, fat crash.
- Resurrected the R_Init progress bar, now as a standard Windows control.
- Removed the sound failure dialog. The FMOD setup already defaulted to no
sound if initialization failed, so this only applies when snd_output is set
to "alternate" which now also falls back to no sound. In addition, it wasn't
working right, and I didn't feel like fixing it for the probably 0% of users
it affected.
- Fixed: The edit control used for logging output added text in reverse order
on Win9x.
- Went back to the roots and made graphics initialization one of the last
things to happen during setup. Now the startup text is visible again. More
importantly, the main window is no longer created invisible, which seems
to cause trouble with it not always appearing in the taskbar. The fatal
error dialog is now also embedded in the main window instead of being a
separate modal dialog, so you can play with the log window to see any
problems that might be reported there.
Rather than completely restoring the original startup order, I tried to
keep things as close to the way they were with early graphics startup. In
particular, V_Init() now creates a dummy screen so that things that need
screen dimensions can get them. It gets replaced by the real screen later
in I_InitGraphics(). Will need to check this under Linux to make sure it
didn't cause any problems there.
- Removed the following stubs that just called functions in Video:
- I_StartModeIterator()
- I_NextMode()
- I_DisplayType()
I_FullscreenChanged() was also removed, and a new fullscreen parameter
was added to IVideo::StartModeIterator(), since that's all it controlled.
- Renamed I_InitHardware() back to I_InitGraphics(), since that's all it's
initialized post-1.22.
SVN r416 (trunk)
ga_autosave, write DEM_CHECKAUTOSAVE to the net stream. When this is
processed, it will check if it's okay to do an autosave. If it is, it writes
DEM_DOAUTOSAVE to the net stream, which the sets gameaction to ga_autosave.
Essentially, about half of the functionality was moved out of G_DoAutoSave()
and into Net_DoCommand().
- Minor changes to OS detection: The os_WinNT enumeration has been renamed to
os_WinNT4, since every new OS coming out of Microsoft these days is
essentially NT. NT 5.2 and 6.0 are now properly identified as "Windows
Server 2003" and "Windows Vista" respectively, and any unknown NT versions
Microsoft introduces in the future will now be displayed as "Windows NT"
instead of "Windows 2000" if the minor version is 0 and "Windows XP" if the
minor version is non-0. Win32s detection has also been removed. Presumably
if somebody is foolish enough to try to run this on Windows 3.x with Win32s,
it won't even load due to missing DLLs.
- Fixed: Demos with NETD chunks should not set netgame to true unless they
have more than one player. And since netdemo is ignored if netgame is
false, it doesn't need to set that either.
- Fixed: FTexture::GetScaled* functions did not check for scale values of 0.
