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)
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)
- Added a new color parameter to DCanvas::Clear() that specifies the
ARGB value of the color. This is used if the old color parameter,
which specifies a palette entry, is -1.
SVN r617 (trunk)
I forgot to change the call that draws the automap marker numbers.
- Fixed: The chaingun-flash-checking code always checked the first player,
not the calling one.
- Fixed: Hitscan traces didn't hit actors when entering from above or below
SVN r551 (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.

on the automap instead. If its first argument is zero, the map marker itself
appears on the automap, otherwise it is drawn on top of any actor with a TID
matching that argument. If the second argument is one, then the map marker
will only be appear if the player has previously seen the sector it is one.
You can use Thing_Activate and Thing_Deactivate on markers to turn them on
and off. And if you subclass MapMarker with DECORATE, you can easily make
your own custom markers.
- Fixed: Map markers could not be drawn partially off the map. They were
drawn either fully or not at all.
- Fixed: Map markers appeared in the wrong place on a rotated overlay map if
screenblocks < 10.

- The stat meters now return an FString instead of sprintfing into a fixed
output buffer.
- NOASM is now automatically defined when compiling for a non-x86 target.
- Some changes have been made to the integral types in doomtype.h:
- For consistancy with the other integral types, byte is no longer a
synonym for BYTE.
- Most uses of BOOL have been change to the standard C++ bool type. Those
that weren't were changed to INTBOOL to indicate they may contain values
other than 0 or 1 but are still used as a boolean.
- Compiler-provided types with explicit bit sizes are now used. In
particular, DWORD is no longer a long so it will work with both 64-bit
Windows and Linux.
- Since some files need to include Windows headers, uint32 is a synonym
for the non-Windows version of DWORD.
- Removed d_textur.h. The pic_t struct it defined was used nowhere, and that
was all it contained.
SVN r326 (trunk)
The lump is open anyway at that time so deferring this action until the information
is needed doesn't give any speed improvements. Now GetDimensions and all its
associated overhead is gone.
- Added support for TGA textures. It can handle all of the common variations
of this format.
- Changed: GI_PAGESARERAW is no longer checked. It wasn't really necessary before
because the chance of texture misidentification is absolutely minimal.
But raw pages are now restricted to textures of type TEX_MiscPatch only.
- Changed the automap parchment to use a regular texture. The previous
FAutomapTexture is only used as a last resort fallback now. If the code
finds a recognizable graphic it will create a proper texture for it now.
- Fixed: Flats were only auto-scaled when in Doom flat format.
- Fixed: FMultiPatchTexture::CheckForHacks blindly assumed that all patches
were FPstchTextures. Since the texture code does not have any type information
I added a new flag bIsPatch for this purpose.
- Moved all texture classes into their own source files and created a new
subdirectory 'textures' for that.
- Cleaned up the texture management code and added some stricter checks for
the validity of Doom patches. The old code liked to crash when being passed
some non-graphic data.
SVN r300 (trunk)
- Changed f_finale.cpp/atkstates[] into a static variable, since its
anonymous type prevents it from being accessed from other files anyway.
- Fixed: The behavior of the eventtail advancement in d_net.cpp/CheckAbort()
was compiler-dependant.
- Fixed warnings GCC 4 threw up while compiling re2c and lemon.
- Removed __cdecl from makewad.c again. This is already defined as a builtin
for MinGW, and redefining it produces a warning. (Why is main explicitly
declared __cdecl anyway?)
- Fixed building ccdv-win32 with GCC 4. GCC 4 creates a memcpy call, which
won't work because it doesn't get linked with the standard C library.
SVN r135 (trunk)
- Changed type PClass::FreeIndices to TArray<unsigned int> because that's
the type of the indices.
- Fixed: makewad.c needs __cdecl for non-Windows builds.
- Fixed: FinishThingdef didn't check whether the WeaponClass pointer in
AWeaponPiece was a valid name.
SVN r133 (trunk)
memcpy to copy the player structures.
- Fixed compilation with MinGW again and removed most of the new warnings.
And following is the log that I forgot to paste in for the previous commit:
- Changed the memory management for FString. Instead of using a garbage
collected heap, it now uses normal heap calls and reference counting to
implement lazy copying. You may now use bitwise operators to move
(but not copy!) FStrings around in memory. This means that the
CopyForTArray template function is gone, since TArrays can now freely
move their contents around without bothering with their specifics.
There is one important caveat, however. It is not acceptable to blindly 0
an FString's contents. This necessitated the creation of a proper
constructor for player_s so that it can be reset without using memset. I
did a quick scan of all memsets in the source and didn't see anything else
with a similar problem, but it's possible I missed something.
- Fixed: Build tiles were never deallocated.
- Fixed: Using Build's palette.dat only got half the palette right.
