* only call hw_CheckViewArea if the result is not known yet.
* check the map up front if it even contains heightsecs. This allows to shortcut the above check entirely for maps without sector transfers and will allow further optimizations.
* the MAPINFO options now get handled in g_mapinfo.cpp and g_level.cpp, just like the rest of them as members of level_info_t and FLevelLocals.
* RecalcVertexHeights has been made a member of vertex_t and been moved to p_sectors.cpp.
* the dumpgeometry CCMD has been moved to p_setup.cpp
This was done mainly to reduce the amount of occurences of the word FTexture but it immediately helped detect two small and mostly harmless bugs that were found due to the stricter type checks.
- moved timer definitions into their own header/source files. d_main is not the right place for this.
- removed some leftover cruft from the old timer code.
This is mainly to support UMAPINFO which does not have clusters but has been extended to define separate exit texts for each target map that can be reached from a given map.
Special names 'normal' and 'secret' can be used to define texts specific to the default exits.
New MAPINFO properties:
* exittext = mapname, "text"...
* textmusic = mapname, "musicname", order
* textflat = mapname, flatname
* textpic = mapname, picname
textflat and textpic are like 'flat' and 'pic' for clusters, one defines a tiled background, the other a fullscreen image.
Setting an empty exittext will disable a cluster-based text screen that may apply to the given map.
This is to ensure that the Class pointer can be set right on creation. ZDoom had always depended on handling this lazily which poses some problems for the VM.
So now there is a variadic Create<classtype> function taking care of that, but to ensure that it gets used, direct access to the new operator has been blocked.
This also neccessitated making DArgs a regular object because they get created before the type system is up. Since the few uses of DArgs are easily controllable this wasn't a big issue.
- did a bit of optimization on the bots' decision making whether to pick up a health item or not.
- better handling of ForceScale for the fullscreen HUD that doesn't mess around with CVARs.
- moved the mug shot into the status bar, because this is global state that needs to be shared between different pieces of code which want to display a mug shot.
- SBARINFO should work off the current status bar settings instead of the ones stored in its script object
Note that the Strife status bar does not draw the health bars yet. I tried to replace the hacky custom texture with a single fill operation but had to find out that all the coordinate mangling for the status bar is being done deep in the video code. This needs to be fixed before this can be made to work.
Currently this is not usable in mods because they cannot initialize custom status bars yet.
- moved testcolor and test fades into SWRenderer files.
These CCMDs work by hacking the default colormap and were never implemented for hardware rendering because they require many checks throughout the code.
This method was chosen because it avoids adding variable declarations to the global namespace which would have required a lot more work while polluting the grammar.
This way the global variables can be handled by a small bit of special coding in the struct generator.
Since the true color software renderer also handles them there is no point keeping them on the GL side.
This also optimized how they are stored, because we no longer need to be aware of a base engine which doesn't have them.
(Is there anyway to tone down GCC's warning level? It outputs too many false positives for potentially uninitialized variables in which the genuine errors get drowned.)
