palettes smaller than 256 entries with the shader I wrote for it. Is there
a list of gotchas like this listed some where? I'd really like to see it.
Well, when compiled with SM2.0, the PalTex shader seems to be every-so-
slightly faster on my GF7950GT than the SM1.4 version, so I guess it's a
minor win for cards that support it.
- Fixed: ST_Endoom() failed to free the bitmap it used.
- Added the DTA_ColorOverlay attribute to blend a color with the texture
being drawn. For software, this (currently) only works with black. For
hardware, it works with any color. The motiviation for this was so I could
rewrite the status bar calls that passed DIM_MAP to DTA_Translation to
draw darker icons into something that didn't require making a whole new
remap table.
- After having an "OMG! How could I have been so stupid?" moment, I have
removed the off-by-one check from D3DFB. I had thought the off-by-one error
was caused by rounding errors by the shader hardware. Not so. Rather, I
wasn't sampling what I thought I was sampling. A texture that uses palette
index 255 passes the value 1.0 to the shader. The shader needs to adjust the
range of its palette indexes, or it will end up trying to read color 256
from the palette texture when it should be reading color 255. Doh!
- The TranslationToTable() function has been added to map from translation
numbers used by actors to the tables those numbers represent. This function
performs validation for the input and returns NULL if the input value
is invalid.
- Major changes to the way translation tables work: No longer are they each a
256-byte array. Instead, the FRemapTable structure is used to represent each
one. It includes a remap array for the software renderer, a palette array
for a hardware renderer, and a native texture pointer for D3DFB. The
translationtables array itself is now an array of TArrays that point to the
real tables. The DTA_Translation attribute must also be passed a pointer
to a FRemapTable, not a byte array as previously.
- Modified DFrameBuffer::DrawRateStuff() so that it can do its thing properly
for D3DFB's 2D mode. Before, any fullscreen graphics (like help images)
covered it up.

- moved the AM line drawer into DCanvas as a virtual function. While testing
this code I discovered that the antialias precalculation was never used
except for the very first frame of AM drawing. However, since I couldn't
detect even a marginal performance improvement using this code on 2 computers
I just disabled it completely because it severely complicates a more generic
implementation. I also disabled am_ovtrans in the process because I couldn't
see any positive effects of using this cvar. All it does is adding some
ugly distortion to the lines it affects without any apparent benefits.
* Added fix by Karate Chris containing:
- Added a 'No team changing' DMFlag2 which prevents players from changing teams
unless they are not on a team.
- Added a 'No respawn' DMFlag2 which prevents a player from respawning after
they have died.
- Added a 'Keep frags gained' DMFlag2 which allows you to choose whether you
want to reset the frags of each player next level or not.
- Added a small visual enhancement to the cooperative scoreboard to show
if a player has died.
- Fixed: If the 'teamplay' console variable was set to 'true' in a cooperative
game, the scoreboard would show team play related items as opposed to
cooperative items.
- Fixed: The 'bot_observer' console variable should not work in network games.
- Fixed: Bots made intermission skip really fast.
SVN r634 (trunk)
- Fixed: ASkyViewpoint::Destroy was missing the super call.
- Added SnowKate709's A_LookEx update.
- Moved M_DrawPlayerBackdrop into DCanvas as a virtual function. Since this
directly accesses the frame buffer it must be overridable for renderers
that work differently.
SVN r632 (trunk)
* Added drawshader to draw Heretic style transparency gradients.
* Added artiflash flag to drawselectedinventory.
* Fixed: Drawgem used the wrong operator when determining the chain size.
* Fixed: ZDoom would crash if an undefined font was used.
* I also started cleaning up the source a little. I have been informed that
when checking for flags the "== flagname" is redundant.
- Added indexfont anf hudfont from GZDoom to zdoom.pk3 so that they are always
available when defining custom status bars.
SVN r629 (trunk)
passing renderer specific data to the function. Also added DTA_Font so
that the renderer can fetch font translations from the proper font.
DIM_MAP/ConShade had to be made a regular translation table to make it
work.
- Added Karate Chris's fix for scoreboard displaying team play related data
in non teamplay games.
- Fixed: The team selection menu didn't work.
- Fixed: UpdateTeam passed an FString to Printf.
SVN r623 (trunk)
character arrays and never freed them. Those have been replaced with
uses of FString. (One of these was even an instance of a member variable
being set to point at a stack variable.)
SVN r622 (trunk)
EffectTics (now + 1), because I wasn't convinced of the correctness of
using level.time.
- Fixed: SC_CheckNumber() considered the empty string "" as the number 0.
SVN r586 (trunk)
though.
- Fixed: Picking up a backpack incorrectly set the maximum amount for any ammo
type that didn't have a BackpackMaxAmount to 0.
SVN r569 (trunk)
in a hub but by a level flag instead.
- Fixed: Floor and ceiling huggers must set themselves to floor and ceiling each
time they move.
- Added a LEVEL_NOMONSTERS flag so that G_ChangeLevel doesn't have to mess with
the dmflags CVAR to start the level without monsters.
SVN r563 (trunk)
or scripts. ColorSetter (#9038) sets the sector's color and FadeSetter (#9039)
sets the fog color.
- added new flags MF5_ALWAYSFAST and MF5_NEVERFAST. These flags unconditionally
enable or disable fast movement logic, regardless of skill settings.
- added an abstraction layer for skill related settings. This is a preparation
for implementing custom skill definitions but right now all it does is
returning the original values but keeping the related information all in one
place
SVN r557 (trunk)
weapon didn't change back when the powerup expired.
- Fixed: The powered up version of Heretic's Gauntlets missed the proper
state assignments for Ready, Lower and Raise.
- Fixed: The Strife player was missing its pain state.
- Fixed: Revenant missiles couldn't home in on targets with a height lower than
40.
- Fixed: The code which checked for hitscan traces hitting actors from above
and below must test whether the calculated hit position is actually inside
the actor being checked. If it crosses the top/bottom plane outside the
bounding box there can't be a hit.
- Changed: State labels in code pointer calls must now be enclosed in quotation marks.
This was done to ensure compatibility with parsers that will parse these as
identifier-aware script code later.
SVN r554 (trunk)
- Fixed: The shotgun had spawn ID 21 instead of 27.
- Fixed: All 3 states in the DoomUnusedStates actor need to end with a 'stop'.
- Fixed: The DECORATE TakeInventory functions didn't check the IF_KEEPDEPLETED
flag.
- Fixed: ClearInventory should leave ammo in the inventory because it might be
referenced by undroppable weapons.
- Fixed: Several functions in a_artifacts.cpp were missing a check for a valid
owner.
- Fixed: sc_man counted lines wrong when ungetting strings but getting tokens
next.
SVN r552 (trunk)
- fixed: The brown Chaos Serpent in Hexen had an incorrect sprite for its
ice death sequence set.
- fixed: Ammo upon game start does not get multiplied when on easy skill.
Implementing this as an inventory flag IF_IGNORESKILL also allows to create
ammo/weapon/backpack types that don't multiply the ammo given when on this
skill.
- moved Doom exit sounds into SNDINFO as $random definitions.
- Fixed: Dying Lost Souls could be reset to their see state if they slammed into
something.
SVN r540 (trunk)
- Fixed: DECORATE color translations with explicit colors didn't work because the
code treated byte values as fixed point.
- Fixed: LEVEL_NOALLIES must clear MF_FRIENDLY off any spawned actor except players.
Otherwise it doesn't work properly.
- Fixed: Entering a backslash in the player's name box caused a crash because
the code analyzing the string was missing a NULL pointer check.
- Fixed: Thing_Hate and Teleport_ZombieChanger unconditionally made state jumps,
even for dead monsters.
- Fixed: The palette flash for item pickup was not reset upon a player's death.
- Fixed: P_DamageMobj tried to get damage multiplier information from the
damage inflictor, not the attacker.
- Fixed: PowerTimeFreezer::DoEffect did not call its superclass method.
- fixed: When morphed monsters died they tried to set MF3_STAYMORPHED for the
attacker, not themselves. This caused a crash when they were killed by a crusher.
SVN r539 (trunk)
with my changed code.
- Cleaned up DECORATE parser a little - moved the old style parsing code into its
own file and rearranged a few things.
- Made ProcessStates non-static so that it doesn't need to be passed as an argument
to all functions in the DECORATE parser.
- Moved DECORATE parser files into their own subdirectory.
- Optimization: SC_GetToken no longer sets sc_name for identifiers. In most cases
this creates needless overhead by adding a potentially unneeded name to the name
table and looking up the name. In almost all cases where a name is needed it's as
easy to assign sc_String to the name variable.
- Added enum definitions to DECORATE.
SVN r537 (trunk)
powerup.
- Changed: Weapons are no longer checked for the EXTREMEDEATH and NOEXTREMEDEATH flags.
For all damage related actions it will always be the projectile (or puff for hitscan
attacks) that is treated as the damage inflictor.
- Fixed: Hexen's fourth weapons made extreme death depend on the weapon the player
is holding, not the projectile that did the kill. The WIF_EXTREME_DEATH flag
no longer exists as a result.
- Expanded PowerSpeed so that subclasses can be derived that alter the speed factor.
- Added an MF5_USESPECIAL flag that allows using things to execute their specials.
- added MF4_FORCERADIUSDMG flag so that exploding items can be created which
are able to hurt boss monsters.
- moved ML_BLOCK_PLAYERS to the value 0x4000 to bring it in line with Skulltag's
implementation.
SVN r530 (trunk)
- Fixed: Resurrecting a player must restore all flags words, not just the first one.
- Fixed: APowerWeaponLevel2::EndEffect must check PendingWeapon for WP_NOCHANGE.
- added Skulltag's high jump rune as a powerup
- Added Skulltag's Drain and Regeneration runes as powerups and used specific player
sounds for their sound effects instead of using misc/i_pkup.
(If I ever decide to implement runes it will be in a way that can use the regular
powerups instead of having to define specific classes for them.)
- Added Skulltag's PowerQuadDamage and PowerQuarterDamage as more customizable
PowerDamage and PowerProtection. These new powerups allow free customization of
the damage modification per damage type by inheriting from these classes and
setting specific values. Such derived damage/protection powerups will be considered
as separate powers so that for example a QuadDamage and a DoubleDamage item can be
stacked which would result in 8x damage.
- merged player_t::cheats and player_t::Powers into one variable.
SVN r529 (trunk)
to specific damage types.
- Changed Dehacked parser to use the DECORATE symbol tables for code pointers
instead of creating its own ones.
- Removed the HandleNoSector hack and changed A_Look so that it uses the sector's
sound target for actors with MF_NOSECTOR regardless of compatibility settings.
- Moved initialization of weapon slots after the actor initialization.
With default weapons exported to DECORATE it can't be done earlier.
- Converted Doom weapons to DECORATE.
- Changed backpack definition so that Doom's backpack is no longer the base
class that implements its functionality. Now there is an abstract base class
all backpack-like items derive from. Also moved the actual definition of Doom's
backpack to DECORATE.
SVN r519 (trunk)
player's inventory even when they have been used up. If the item also
has an inventory bar icon, it will be drawn darkened when it is
depleted.
SVN r497 (trunk)
in DEarthQuake::StaticGetQuakeIntensity. The reason for this: Quakes were
never supposed to be additive. Many maps, including Hexen's own have placed
quake spots so that they cover a larger area but the areas covered by the
single spots overlap. On such maps the view will shake like crazy and
render the map nearly unplayable.
SVN r480 (trunk)
- Added more player water sounds:
*dive - Played when your head goes below water.
*surface - Played when your head goes back above water.
*gasp - Played when you were drowning and get your air back.
If your head surfaces and you were drowning, only *gasp plays, not both.
- Added damage-specific player death sounds, in the same fashion as the
damage-specific player pain sounds. It looks for a sound with a name like
"*death-damagetype" first and then "*death" if the first sound didn't exist.
- Removed the constraint that player sounds must be reserved before they can
be assigned. Hence, the $playerreserve command has been eliminated, because
it is no longer needed and it was never accessible from user wads, so I
don't need to worry about breaking anything by removing it.
SVN r474 (trunk)
- Removed the constraint that all $playerreserve SNDINFO commands must come
before the other $player commands.
- Fixed: TArray::Reserve did not construct its newly allocated entries.
- Changed the damage type for drowning from 'Water' to 'Drowning'.
SVN r466 (trunk)
DCanvas::DrawTexture() to calculate off the actual bottom of the image
instead of the height, improving precision. Now the scaled status bar is
flush with the bottom of the screen at 1280x1024, for instance.
SVN r458 (trunk)
3 new code pointers without general use it was necessary to handle
GiveDefaultInventory consistently for all players without the need to
subclass this function.
- Added a Player.RunHealth property to expose the StrifePlayer's behavior of
not being able to run when its health is below 10.
- Changed APlayerPawn::GiveDefaultInventory so that it always adds a HexenArmor
and a BasicArmor item to the inventory. If these items are not the first ones
added to the inventory anything else that might absorb damage is not guaranteed
to work consistently because their function depends on the order in the inventory.
- Changed handling of APowerup's DoEffect so that it is called from the owner's
Tick function, not the item's. This is so that the order of execution is
determined by the order in the inventory. When done in the item's Tick function
order depends on the global thinker table which can cause problems with the
order in which conflicting powerups apply their effect. Now it is guaranteed
that the item that was added to the inventory first applies its effect last.
- Fixed: Added checks for Speed==0 to A_Tracer and A_Tracer2 because this could
cause a divide by zero.
- Fixed: P_MoveThing must also set the moved actor's previous position to
prevent interpolation of the move.
- Fixed: APowerInvisibility and its subclasses need to constantly update
the owner's translucency information in case of interference between different
subclasses. Also changed Hexen's Cleric's invulnerability mode to disable
the translucency effect if an invisibility powerup is active.
SVN r448 (trunk)
- Fixed: The PlayerSpeedTrail must copy the player's scaling information
(from Skulltag)
- Added r_maxparticles CVAR from Skulltag.
- Changed PCX loader so that it always loads the last 768 bytes of 8 bit graphics as a palette
SVN r447 (trunk)
- Renamed the new armor properties to use the same names as Skulltag to avoid
confusion. They still don't need a separate base class as in Skulltag though.
- Added Skulltag-type armor bonus that increases the max amount that can be given
by other armor items.
- Separated all armor related code from a_pickups.cpp into a_armor.cpp.
SVN r427 (trunk)
because S_GetSoundPlayingInfo cannot properly resolve player and random sounds.
- Fixed: S_IsActorPlayingSomething has to resolve aliases and player sounds.
- Took S_ParseSndSeq call out of S_Init. This doesn't work when parsing SNDINFO
in D_DoomMain.
- Moved SNDINFO reading back to its old place after MAPINFO. This is necessary
for Hexen's music definitions.
SVN r425 (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)
- 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)
APlayerPawn::GiveDefaultInventory gave him some HexenArmor even though
he doesn't need it.
- Added custom blood type properties to DECORATE.
- Converted Blood to DECORATE and made some minor changes to the code
in preparation for custom blood types.
- Converted the bot helper things to DECORATE.
- Added damage type specific crash states.
