way MP3 obfuscates custom tags. Vorbis and FLAC are fine. (I could make it work with MP3,
but you should be using Vorbis instead.) They are:
* LOOP_START: Start time for the loop. If omitted, the song repeats from the beginning.
* LOOP_END: End time for the loop. If omitted, the song loops at the end. (If you need to specify this, why aren't you using a shorter song.)
You only need to specify one of these tags to set the custom loop. Naturally, you can set
them both, as well. The format for each tag is the same:
* If it contains a colon (:), it specifies by time. This may be of the form 00:00:00.00
(HH:MM:SS.ss) to specify by play. Various parts may be left off. e.g. To start the loop
at 20 seconds in, you can use ":20", 0:20", "00:00:20", ":20.0", etc. Values after the
decimal are fractions of a second and accurate to one millisecond.
* If you don't include a colon but just have a raw number, then it's the number of PCM
samples at which to loop.
* Any characters other than digits (0-9), colons (:), or a single decimal point for the
seconds portion will result in the tag being ignored.

* Second argument: Volume scalar. 0 and 128 are normal volume. (Where "normal" is whatever
it was defined with in SNDINFO.) Other values scale it accordingly.
* Third argument: Minimum distance before volume fading starts.
* Fourth argument: Maximum distance at which the sound is audible. Setting either of these to 0
will use whatever they were defined with in SNDINFO.
SVN r2214 (trunk)
- Removed #pragma warnings from cmdlib.h and fixed the places where they were
still triggered.
These #pragmas were responsible for >90% of the GCC warnings that were not
listed in VC++.
- Fixed one bug in the process: DSeqNode::m_Atten was never adjusted when the
parameter handling of the sound functions for attenuation was changed.
Changed m_Atten to a float and fixed the SNDSEQ parser to set proper values.
Also added the option to specify attenuation with direct values in addition
to the predefined names.
SVN r1583 (trunk)
- fixed: The nextmap and nextsecret CCMDs need to call G_DeferedInitNew instead of G_InitNew.
- merged MAPINFO branch back into trunk.
SVN r1393 (trunk)
- Removed extraneous printf parameter for Texman.Init startup message.
- Added newlines to the ends of a few headers that were missing them.
- Fixed more GCC errors/warnings.
SVN r1232 (trunk)
method to the SoundRenderer class so that this function doesn't need to
load the sound for the NullSoundRenderer.
- Took some more non-FMOD related code out of fmodsound.cpp, including the
code that checks for raw and Doom sounds. This means that sfxinfo_t is no
longer needed in the SoundRenderer class so I took out all references to it.
SVN r1208 (trunk)
to the rolloff information back to NULL when starting the sound fails.
- Fixed: Rolloff information was taken from the sfxinfo that contained the
actual sound data, not the one that was used for starting the sound.
SVN r1206 (trunk)
surprised if this doesn't build in Linux right now. The CMakeLists.txt
were checked with MinGW and NMake, but how they fair under Linux is an
unknown to me at this time.
- Converted most sprintf (and all wsprintf) calls to either mysnprintf or
FStrings, depending on the situation.
- Changed the strings in the wbstartstruct to be FStrings.
- Changed myvsnprintf() to output nothing if count is greater than INT_MAX.
This is so that I can use a series of mysnprintf() calls and advance the
pointer for each one. Once the pointer goes beyond the end of the buffer,
the count will go negative, but since it's an unsigned type it will be
seen as excessively huge instead. This should not be a problem, as there's
no reason for ZDoom to be using text buffers larger than 2 GB anywhere.
- Ripped out the disabled bit from FGameConfigFile::MigrateOldConfig().
- Changed CalcMapName() to return an FString instead of a pointer to a static
buffer.
- Changed startmap in d_main.cpp into an FString.
- Changed CheckWarpTransMap() to take an FString& as the first argument.
- Changed d_mapname in g_level.cpp into an FString.
- Changed DoSubstitution() in ct_chat.cpp to place the substitutions in an
FString.
- Fixed: The MAPINFO parser wrote into the string buffer to construct a map
name when given a Hexen map number. This was fine with the old scanner
code, but only a happy coincidence prevents it from crashing with the new
code
- Added the 'B' conversion specifier to StringFormat::VWorker() for printing
binary numbers.
- Added CMake support for building with MinGW, MSYS, and NMake. Linux support
is probably broken until I get around to booting into Linux again. Niceties
provided over the existing Makefiles they're replacing:
* All command-line builds can use the same build system, rather than having
a separate one for MinGW and another for Linux.
* Microsoft's NMake tool is supported as a target.
* Progress meters.
* Parallel makes work from a fresh checkout without needing to be primed
first with a single-threaded make.
* Porting to other architectures should be simplified, whenever that day
comes.
- Replaced the makewad tool with zipdir. This handles the dependency tracking
itself instead of generating an external makefile to do it, since I couldn't
figure out how to generate a makefile with an external tool and include it
with a CMake-generated makefile. Where makewad used a master list of files
to generate the package file, zipdir just zips the entire contents of one or
more directories.
- Added the gdtoa package from netlib's fp library so that ZDoom's printf-style
formatting can be entirely independant of the CRT.
SVN r1082 (trunk)
run into the adjacent columns.
- Added a NullSoundRenderer so that most of the checks against a NULL GSnd
can be removed.
- Fixed: Looping sounds must always successfully allocate a channel, even if
it's only a pre-evicted channel.
SVN r1058 (trunk)
the rest of the game is concerned, these sounds will never stop once they
have been started until they are explicitly stopped. If they are evicted
from their channels, the sound code will restart them as soon as possible.
This means that instead of this:
if (!S_IsActorPlayingSomething(actor, CHAN_WEAPON, -1))
{
S_Sound(actor, CHAN_WEAPON|CHAN_LOOP, soundid, 1, ATTN_NORM);
}
The following is now just as effective:
S_Sound(actor, CHAN_WEAPON|CHAN_LOOP, soundid, 1, ATTN_NORM);
There are also a couple of other ramifications presented by this change:
* The full state of the sound system (sans music) is now stored in save
games. Any sounds that were playing when you saved will still be
playing when you load. (Try saving while Korax is making a speech in
Hexen to hear it.)
* Using snd_reset will also preserve any playing sounds.
* Movie playback is disabled, probably forever. I did not want to
update the MovieDisable/ResumeSound stuff for the new eviction
tracking code. A properly updated movie player will use the VMR,
which doesn't need these functions, since it would pipe the sound
straight through the sound system like everything else, so I decided
to dump them now, which leaves the movie player in a totally unworkable
state.
June 26, 2008
- Changed S_Sound() to take the same floating point attenuation that the
internal S_StartSound() uses. Now ambient sounds can use the public
S_Sound() interface.
- Fixed: S_RelinkSound() compared the points of the channels against the
from actor's point, rather than checking the channels' mover.
- Changed Strife's animated doors so that their sounds originate from the
interior of the sector making them and not from the entire vertical height
of the map.
SVN r1055 (trunk)
consideration the size and shape of the sector producing the sound. See
the lifts on Doom 2 MAP30 and compare with previous versions.
- Fixed: The stop sound for sector-based sound sequences was not played with
the CHAN_AREA flag.
- Removed the distinction between S_Sound() and S_SoundID() functions. Use
S_Sound() for both names and IDs from now on.
SVN r1034 (trunk)
to handle M4 and 5 in Doom and Heretic.
- Added P_CheckMapData functions and replaced all calls to P_OpenMapData that
only checked for a map's presence with it.
- Added Martin Howe's player statusbar face submission.
- Added an 'adddefaultmap' option for MAPINFO. This is the same as 'defaultmap'
but keeps all existing information in the default and just adds to it. This
is needed because Hexen and Strife set some information in their base
MAPINFO and using 'defaultmap' in a PWAD would override that.
- Fixed: Using MAPINFO's f1 option could cause memory leaks.
- Added option to load lumps by full name to several places:
* Finale texts loaded from a text lump
* Demos
* Local SNDINFOs
* Local SNDSEQs
* Image names in FONTDEFS
* intermission script names
- Changed the STCFN121 handling. The character is not an 'I' but a '|' so
instead of discarding it it should be inserted at position 124.
- Renamed indexfont.fon to indexfont so that I could remove a special case
from V_GetFont that was just added for this one font.
- Added a 'dumpspawnedthings' CVAR that enables a listing of all things in
the map and the actor type they spawned.
SVN r882 (trunk)
rather than a generic one, so identifying errors among files that all have
the same lump name no longer involves any degree of guesswork in
determining exactly which file the error occurred in.
- Added a check to S_ParseSndSeq() for SNDSEQ lumps with unterminated final
sequences.
- Fixed: Parts of s_sndseq.cpp that scan the Sequences array need NULL
pointer checks, in case an improper sequence was encountered during
parsing but not early enough to avoid creating a slot for it in the array.
SVN r874 (trunk)
command actually existed.
- Fixed: My $Limit fix from yesterday didn't work because NearLimit was
an unsigned byte and the comparisons with -1 didn't work. Made it a
signed word instead.
- Made sfxinfo_t::Link an unsigned int because it limited the amount of
usable sounds to 65535.
SVN r869 (trunk)
- Added a SFX_TRANSFERAMBUSHFLAG for A_SpawnItemEx.
- Added "Shaded" as a valid parameter for DECORATE's RenderStyle.
- Added Karate Chris's patch for a MAPINFO option making Strife conversations
not halt the game.
- Extended the $limit fix that $alias and $random definitions can have their
own $limit now.
- Fixed: When resolving a linked sound the limit of the current sound was
ignored and the one of the referenced sound being used. This was particularly
noticable when using the chaingun in a group of Zombiemen.
- Added a namespc parameter to FWadCollection::CheckNumForFullName which is
used when a normal lump name has to be looked up and changed all
CheckNumForFullName/CheckNumForName combinations in the source to use
the extended version of CheckNumForFullName only to have consistent
behavior for lump name lookup.
SVN r865 (trunk)
the song's relative volume takes effect.
- Removed the arbitrary 1024 bytes limit when the file being played is a MIDI
file. I had a D_DM2TTL that's only 990 bytes.
- Restructured I_RegisterSong so that $mididevice works again and also supports
selecting FMOD.
SVN r857 (trunk)
xlat_parser.y because both files had the same time stamp after an update,
and Lemon only rewrites the header file if it's changed.
- Added $volume SNDINFO command. This is multiplied with the volume the sound
is played at to arrive at the final volume (before distance attenuation).
- Added the CHAN_AREA flag to disable 3D panning within the min distance of a
sound. Sector sound sequences (except doors) use this flag.
- Added the CHAN_LOOP flag to replace the S_Looped* sound functions.
- Restored the sound limiting.
SVN r849 (trunk)
subject to channel overriding.
- Re-added priority selection based on sound usage.
- Reduced the number of virtual channels to match the number of real
channels.
- Added customizable rolloff, including Doom's standard linear gain rolloff.
SNDINFO commands are:
$rolloff <sound> <min distance> <max distance> -- linear gain (like Doom)
$rolloff <sound> linear <min distance> <max distance> -- linear volume
$rolloff <sound> log <min distance> <rolloff factor> -- logarithmic
$rolloff <sound> custom <min distance> <max distance> -- use SNDCURVE lump
Anything closer than min distance is full volume and anything further than
max distance is inaudible. Logarithmic rolloff does not have a maximum
distance; it has a scalar that controls how quickly the volume drops off
instead.
SVN r834 (trunk)
- Fixed: Heretic linetype translations included the wrong file.
- Removed all 2D sound positioning code from s_sound.cpp. Everything uses
FMOD's 3D engine now.
- Removed all the channel selection code from s_sound.cpp. FMOD has code to
handle this sort of thing, so let's use it.
- Replaced S_StopSoundID() with S_CheckSingular(). There is no longer a limit
on the number of copies of a particular sound that can be playing at once,
aside from Strife's special singular sounds. (Sorry, Heretic and Hexen.)
Consequently, the SNDINFO $limit command is now ignored.
- Removed ATTN_SURROUND, since FMOD Ex doesn't exactly support it, and it
only worked as intended on stereo speakers anyway.
- Cleaned out ancient crud from i_sound.cpp.
SVN r826 (trunk)
- Fixed: The MusicVolumes list was allocated with M_Malloc but freed with
delete.
- Fixed: demobuffer was inconsistantly handled with new[]/delete[] and
malloc/free.
- Added used memory tracking to M_Malloc() and M_Realloc(). This
necessitated the addition of an M_Free() call to track frees.
- Removed M_Calloc since it was only used in one place, and can just as well
be done with an M_Malloc/memset pair.
- Bumped DEMOGAMEVERSION for the new net controller codes.
SVN r751 (trunk)
- Added .txt files to the list of types (wad, zip, and pk3) that can be
loaded without listing them after -file.
- Fonts that are created by the ACS setfont command to wrap a texture now
support animated textures.
- FON2 fonts can now use their full palette for CR_UNTRANSLATED when drawn
with the hardware 2D path instead of being restricted to the game palette.
- Fixed: Toggling vid_vsync would reset the displayed fullscreen gamma to 1
on a Radeon 9000.
- Added back the off-by-one palette handling, but in a much more limited
scope than before. The skipped entry is assumed to always be at 248, and
it is assumed that all Shader Model 1.4 cards suffer from this. That's
because all SM1.4 cards are based on variants of the ATI R200 core, and the
RV250 in a Radeon 9000 craps up like this. I see no reason to assume that
other flavors of the R200 are any different. (Interesting note: With the
Radeon 9000, D3DTADDRESS_CLAMP is an invalid address mode when using the
debug Direct3D 9 runtime, but it works perfectly fine with the retail
Direct3D 9 runtime.) (Insight: The R200 probably uses bytes for all its
math inside pixel shaders. That would explain perfectly why I can't use
constants greater than 1 with PS1.4 and why it can't do an exact mapping to
every entry in the color palette.
- Fixed: The software shaded drawer did not work for 2D, because its selected
"color"map was replaced with the identitymap before being used.
- Fixed: I cannot use Printf to output messages before the framebuffer was
completely setup, meaning that Shader Model 1.4 cards could not change
resolution.
- I have decided to let remap palettes specify variable alpha values for
their colors. D3DFB no longer forces them to 255.
- Updated re2c to version 0.12.3.
- Fixed: A_Wander used threshold as a timer, when it should have used
reactiontime.
- Fixed: A_CustomRailgun would not fire at all for actors without a target
when the aim parameter was disabled.
- Made the warp command work in multiplayer, again courtesy of Karate Chris.
- Fixed: Trying to spawn a bot while not in a game made for a crashing time.
(Patch courtesy of Karate Chris.)
- Removed some floating point math from hu_scores.cpp that somebody's GCC
gave warnings for (not mine, though).
- Fixed: The SBarInfo drawbar command crashed if the sprite image was
unavailable.
- Fixed: FString::operator=(const char *) did not release its old buffer when
being assigned to the null string.
- The scanner no longer has an upper limit on the length of strings it
accepts, though short strings will be faster than long ones.
- Moved all the text scanning functions into a class. Mainly, this means that
multiple script scanner states can be stored without being forced to do so
recursively. I think I might be taking advantage of that in the near
future. Possibly. Maybe.
- Removed some potential buffer overflows from the decal parser.
- Applied Blzut3's SBARINFO update #9:
* Fixed: When using even length values in drawnumber it would cap to a 98
value instead of a 99 as intended.
* The SBarInfo parser can now accept negatives for coordinates. This
doesn't allow much right now, but later I plan to add better fullscreen
hud support in which the negatives will be more useful. This also cleans
up the source a bit since all calls for (x, y) coordinates are with the
function getCoordinates().
- Added support for stencilling actors.
- Added support for non-black colors specified with DTA_ColorOverlay to the
software renderer.
- Fixed: The inverse, gold, red, and green fixed colormaps each allocated
space for 32 different colormaps, even though each only used the first one.
- Added two new blending flags to make reverse subtract blending more useful:
STYLEF_InvertSource and STYLEF_InvertOverlay. These invert the color that
gets blended with the background, since that seems like a good idea for
reverse subtraction. They also work with the other two blending operations.
- Added subtract and reverse subtract blending operations to the renderer.
Since the ERenderStyle enumeration was getting rather unwieldy, I converted
it into a new FRenderStyle structure that lets each parameter of the
blending equation be set separately. This simplified the set up for the
blend quite a bit, and it means a number of new combinations are available
by setting the parameters properly.
SVN r710 (trunk)
- Updated project files for nasm 2.0, which is now named nasm.exe for the
Windows version, rather than nasmw.exe. Also fixed the annoying new warnings
it generated.
SVN r593 (trunk)
behind because it couldn't delete them.
- added a $MidiDevice option to SNDINFO which can either set the preferred
MIDI device for a song to Timidity or Windows' standard MIDI device.
The reason for this: About 80% of my MIDI music collection sounds better
with Timidity and the other 20% with Windows' standard synth and I'd like
to be able to use each with the one that sounds better. For MUS files you
can also force the use of OPL playback.
- added telefrag option to A_SpawnItemEx.
SVN r545 (trunk)
samples, a problem for the alternate sound renderer if it happened to be
playing any sounds at the time, since it would try to keep on playing them.
SVN r483 (trunk)
from the renderer in case the camera changed position or direction since
the last time it was looked through. Otherwise, the renderer will
interpolate from its previous view for one frame when it is switched to.
- Fixed non-POD parameter passing for GCC introduced in the previous commit.
SVN r476 (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)
