- Converted a_zombie.cpp and most of a_strifestuff.cpp to DECORATE.
- Converted a_strifekeys.cpp to DECORATE and moved the pickup messages to the
string table.
- Removed the WIF_HITS_GHOSTS weapon flag and replaced it with MF2_THRUGHOST.
There is no need to keep two flags around with virtually the same meaning.
- Changed the ShadowArmor to use the VISIBILITYPULSE flag to change its translucency.
It looks much better now than the cheap code pointer based blinking it used before.
- Converted most of a_strifeitems.cpp to DECORATE and moved the pickup messages
to the string table.
- Converted a_strifearmor.cpp to DECORATE and moved the pickup messages to the
string table.
- Moved the messages for killing spectres to the string table.
- Converted the quest items to DECORATE. Also changed A_GiveQuestItem to get
the messages it prints from the string table instead of the quest item's tag
string.
May 5, 2006 (Changes by Graf Zahl)
- Removed the hopelessly outdated thingdef_doc.txt file from the repository.
- Converted a_peasant.cpp and a_ratbuddy.cpp to DECORATE.
- Fixed: C_DoKey didn't treat an empty string as 'no binding' when checking for
valid double bindings.
- Converted a_merchants.cpp to DECORATE.
- Added MF5_NODAMAGE flag to generalize the behavior of Strife's merchants which
can be shot but take no damage from getting hurt.
- Converted a_beggars.cpp to DECORATE.
- Added an Inventory.GiveQuest property. This makes it possible to define all of
Strife's original items that also give a quest item in DECORATE but it is also
useful to define items like the ones in Day of the Acolyte without ugly workarounds.
- Added a Tag property and Strife teaser conversation IDs to DECORATE so now it is
possible to define many of Strife's items.
- Added a FastSpeed property to DECORATE so that projectiles can finally be
assigned a higher speed for fast mode.
- Added a ACS_LockedExecuteDoor special. It is basically the same as the existing
ACS_LockedExecute but it uses the 'door' message instead of 'remote'. This
cannot be integrated into ACS_LockedExecute because all its arguments are already
in use.
- Added a fully customizable A_CustomMeleeAttack function for DECORATE.
SVN r83 (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.
SVN r74 (trunk)
- Removed doom.x, heretic.x and strife.x from the SVN repository. These
are generated files.
- Fixed: A_PainDie has to check whether a valid target exists before
calling IsFriend.
- Fixed: FDecalLib::FindAnimator needs a signed counter to work properly.
May 1, 2006 (Changes by Graf Zahl)
- Added support for game specific pickup messages, if only to be able
to define Raven's invulnerability item in DECORATE.
- Removed A_TreeDeath because it is no longer used.
- Fixed: When picking up a PowerupGiver for an active powerup the
blend color and the duration were transferred to a temorary item
and never took effect. They have to be trnasferred to the newly created
powerup item before trying to give it to the player, not afterward.
- Made the colormap of the InvulnerabilitySphere item specific.
The base power class still needs to have its color adjusted
per game though and since Raven's invulnerability item is used in both
Hexen and Heretic it can't define its own colormap/blend.
- Separated the invulnerability colormaps from the game being played
and made them item specific. They can also be specified as regular
blend colors in DECORATE now.
- Converted a_hereticarmor.cpp and most of a_doomartifacts.cpp,
a_hereticartifacts.cpp and a_heretickeys.cpp to DECORATE.
- Changed the Soulsphere to be a real health item with the Dehacked
modifications made in d_dehacked.cpp as for most other items which
need to be adjusted.
- Added IF_BIGPOWERUP flag to AInventory to expose the RESPAWN_SUPER
dmflag to DECORATE. Also removed the now obsolete ShouldRespawn methods
from AInvulnerabilitySphere and ABlurSphere.
- Converted a_splashes.cpp to DECORATE.
- Converted most of a_debris.cpp to DECORATE.
SVN r73 (trunk)
- Fixed the issues with .96x's railgun code and added it to the current
version.
- Fixed: Setting of the friendly Minotaur's angle was inconsistent and
could cause it to move backwards in a féw situation.
- Fixed: The minotaur did checks for type by checking for the MF_FRIENDLY
flag, not by checking for the actor class. That made it impossible to
spawn friendly 'normal' minotaurs.
- Moved a few virtual methods which are only applicable to the friendly
minotaur to AMinotaurFriend.
- Fixed: The friendly minotaur checked the master's health instead of
the target's when deciding whether to switch targets. Replaced with
MF4_NOTARGETSWITCH.
- Fixed: maybedrawnow must not draw the console unless the background
texture has been set up.
SVN r66 (trunk)
- Added multiple-choice sound sequences. These overcome one of the major
deficiences of the Hexen-inherited SNDSEQ system while still being Hexen
compatible: Custom door sounds can now use different opening and closing
sequences, for both normal and blazing speeds.
- Added a serializer for TArray.
- Added a countof macro to doomtype.h. See the1's blog to find out why
it's implemented the way it is.
<http://blogs.msdn.com/the1/articles/210011.aspx>
- Added a new method to FRandom for getting random numbers larger than 255,
which lets me:
- Fixed: SNDSEQ delayrand commands could delay for no more than 255 tics.
- Fixed: If you're going to have sector_t.SoundTarget, then they need to
be included in the pointer cleanup scans.
- Ported back newer name code from 2.1.
- Fixed: Using -warp with only one parameter in Doom and Heretic to
select a map on episode 1 no longer worked.
- New: Loading a multiplayer save now restores the players based on
their names rather than on their connection order. Using connection
order was sensible when -net was the only way to start a network game,
but with -host/-join, it's not so nice. Also, if there aren't enough
players in the save, then the extra players will be spawned normally,
so you can continue a saved game with more players than you started it
with.
- Added some new SNDSEQ commands to make it possible to define Heretic's
ambient sounds in SNDSEQ: volumerel, volumerand, slot, randomsequence,
delayonce, and restart. With these, it is basically possible to obsolete
all of the $ambient SNDINFO commands.
- Fixed: Sound sequences would only execute one command each time they were
ticked.
- Fixed: No bounds checking was done on the volume sound sequences played at.
- Fixed: The tic parameter to playloop was useless and caused it to
act like a redundant playrepeat. I have removed all the logic that
caused playloop to play repeating sounds, and now it acts like an
infinite sequence of play/delay commands until the sequence is
stopped.
- Fixed: Sound sequences were ticked every frame, not every tic, so all
the delay commands were timed incorrectly and varied depending on your
framerate. Since this is useful for restarting looping sounds that got
cut off, I have not changed this. Instead, the delay commands now
record the tic when execution should resume, not the number of tics
left to delay.
SVN r57 (trunk)
- Changed: Decal scales now use full precision fixed point numbers.
- Changed: Keeping impact decals in their own statlist is enough to keep track
of them for when one needs to be destroyed. There's no need to maintain a
separate list for them.
- Fixed: Decal actors did not spread their decals across neighboring walls.
- Fixed: Decal groups did not initialize their IDs and could not be reliably
used with the decal actor.
- Fixed: Decals on moving polyobjects were not interpolated. R_RenderDecal()
now uses the decal's LeftDistance to calculate its visible location, so it
always stays in sync with the wall's vertices. This also lets me dump some
code from the polyobjects that maintained the decals' (x, y) coordinates.
Also, the decals' x and y information is redundant and can be removed.
Doing this revealed a bug with slider decals and horizontal sliding:
That is, it didn't work at all. I have opted to simply remove the horizontal
sliding support so that I don't have to worry about what happens when a
decal slides across the edge of a wall.
- Fixed: DBaseDecal::LeftDistance was calculated as a 30.2 fixed point number.
It should be 2.30 fixed point.

behavior.
- Fixed fix: ParseActorProperties() still wasn't sending + or - to
ActorFlagSetOrReset().
- Fixed: [GZ] An item without use state won't be removed when being picked up.
The call to GoAwayAndDie is missing.
- Fixed: [GZ] A_GiveInventory sets the amount to give to a value passed to
this function. This is ok for everything except Health items. They should
give their original amount multiplied with the passed parameter.
- Fixed: Potential buffer overrun when launching timidity.
SVN r21 (trunk)
ParseActorProperties().
- Fixed: The decorate FindFlag() function returned flags from ActorFlags
instead of the passed flags set.
- Fixed: The CHT_CHAINSAW, CHT_POWER, CHT_HEALTH, and CHT_RESSURECT needed
NULL player->mo checks.
- Fixed: The "give all" command didn't give the backpack in Doom, and it
must give the backpack before giving ammo.
- Fixed: P_SetPsprite() must not call the action function if the player is
not attached to an actor. This can happen, for instance, if the level is
destroyed while the player is holding a powered-up Phoenix Rod. As part
of its EndPowerup() function, it sets the psprite to the regular version,
but the player actor has already been destroyed.
- Fixed: FinishThingdef() needs to check for valid names, because weapons
could have inherited valid pointers from their superclass.
- Fixed: fuglyname didn't work.
- Fixed: Redefining $ambient sounds leaked memory.
- Added Jim's crashcatcher.c fix for better shell support.
- VC7.1 seems to have no trouble distinguishing between passing a (const
TypeInfo *) reference to operator<< and the generic, templated (object *)
version, so a few places that can benefit from it now use it. I believe
VC6 had problems with this, which is why I didn't do it all along. The
function's implementation was also moved out of dobject.cpp and into
farchive.cpp.
- Fixed: UnpackPixels() unpacked all chunks in a byte, which is wrong for the
last byte in a row if the image width is not an even multiple of the number
pixels per byte.
- Fixed: P_TranslateLineDef() should only clear monster activation for secret
useable lines, not crossable lines.
- Fixed: Some leftover P_IsHostile() calls still needed to be rewritten.
- Fixed: AWeaponHolder::Serialize() wrote the class type in all circumstances.
SVN r20 (trunk)
- Fixed: AExplosiveBarrel should have MF2_MCROSS set.
- Fixed: Passing 0 numrays to A_BFGSpray should default to 40.
- Fixed: New A_JumpIfCloser() function.
- Future-proofing: thingdef.cpp/FindState() allows the 2.1 names for
SwitchingDecorations.
- Fixed: ASwitchingDecoration declared itself as deriving from AActor instead of
ASwitchableDecoration.
- Fixed: AWeaponHolder::Serialize() did not call its supermethod.
