Needless to say, this is simply too volatile and would require constant active maintenance, not to mention a huge amount of work up front to get going.
It also hid a nasty problem with the Destroy method. Due to the way the garbage collector works, Destroy cannot be exposed to scripts as-is. It may be called from scripts but it may not be overridden from scripts because the garbage collector can call this function after all data needed for calling a scripted override has already been destroyed because if that data is also being collected there is no guarantee that proper order of destruction is observed. So for now Destroy is just a normal native method to scripted classes
so that all files are included by a central one instead of compiling
each one separately. This speeds up the compilation process by 25%
when doing a complete rebuild in Visual C.
- Cleaned up more header dependencies.
SVN r1226 (trunk)
- Added DECORATE support for setting an actor's args. If this is done
it will also disable the actor's special that can be set in a map. This
is for actors that want to use A_CountdownArg or similar functions
that use the args for something different than the special's parameters.
- Converted a_sharedmisc.cpp to DECORATE.
- Added a new NActorIterator that can search for classes specified by name.
- Added a new constructor to TThinkerIterator that can search
for DECORATE defined subclasses that are not represented by a real C++ class.
- Fixed: BuildInfoDefaults must set the parent symbol table so that
all actors can get to the global symbols stored in AActor.
- Fixed some minor inconsistencies in the Arch-Vile's DECORATE definition.
- Fixed: A_VileAttack moved the flame without relinking it into the sector
lists. It also forgot to set the z-position correctly. (original Doom bug.)
- Fixed: The Doom 2 cast finale didn't work with the dynamic state name handling.
SVN r401 (trunk)
its tiles are loaded from the same directory.
- RFF files now load their entire directories into the lumplist.
- Added char * and const char * type coversions for FString, so FStrings can be
freely passed to functions expecting C strings. (Except varargs functions,
which still require manually fetching the C string out of it.)
- Renamed the name class to FName.
- Renamed the string class to FString to emphasize that it is not std::string.
