major change to ACS's workings. However, I had an epiphany yesterday and just had to do this, since it seems like too big a deal to hold off until a later release:
- Dynamically generated strings returned via strparam and get(user)cvar now last as long as they
need to. They do not disappear at the end of each tic. You can now safely store them in
variables and hold on to them indefinitely. In addition, strings from libraries no longer
require you to load the exact same libraries in the exact same order. You can even store a
library's string in a world variable and retrieve it on another map that doesn't load the
library at all, and it will still be the correct string.
- ACS library IDs now only get 12 bits instead of 16 so that each string table can hold up
to about a million strings instead of just 65536. This shouldn't be a problem, although it
means that save games that had strings with the larger IDs stored in variables are no
longer compatible. Since many saves don't involve libraries at all, and even many that do
are not actually affected, I'm not bumping the min save version. The worst that can happen
is that you get no text at all where some was expected.

so when you return to it without leaving the hub, it will be as if you had never set foot in
it. RememberState is provided to turn this flag off.
SVN r3846 (trunk)
Z position by the MapThing's Z, just like for any other MapThing.
- P_SpawnPlayer() now respects a player's SPAWNCEILING and SPAWNFLOAT flags.
SVN r3746 (trunk)
ignored the Y locations of patches drawn on two-sided midtextures and always drew them at the
top of the texture. Added a compatibility flag.
SVN r3205 (trunk)
- move D_LoadWadSettings to keysections.cpp.
- made some more data reloadable.
- data structures filled by P_SetupLevel should be cleared before loading the level. They can remain non-empty in case of an error. There's probably more to fix here...
- fixed: MidiDevices and MusicAliases were not cleared before reloading local SNDINFOs.
- fixed signed/unsigned warnings in AddSwitchPair for real (GCC really allows -1u? MSVC prints a warning for that.)
SVN r3036 (trunk)
- The 'savebuffer' variable still existed?
- Changed AInventory::Destroy to NULL SendItemUse and SendItemDrop if they point to the destroyed object. Although unlikely it can't be ruled out completely that this can happen with delayed CCMDs.
- fixed: Starting a new game did not clear the hub statistics array.
SVN r3034 (trunk)
- Added an option to parse lumps named ZMAPINFO in place of MAPINFO. Any MAPINFO lumps in files containing
a ZMAPINFO lump will be completely ignored. This is to allow ZDoom specific definitions which are incompatible
with other engines capable of reading MAPINFO. Any ZMAPINFO lump must be in the new MAPINFO format.
SVN r2208 (trunk)
of this:
* A cluster's flat definition can now be preceded by a $ to do a string table lookup.
* Since the standard flat names are now in the LANGUAGE lump, the normal Dehacked substitution
for these is no longer handled specially and so will not be automatically disabled merely
by providing your own MAPINFO.
SVN r2195 (trunk)
- added compatibility option to invert sprite sorting. Apparently Doom.exe
originally sorted them differently than most source port and on some maps
which depends on this it doesn't look right (e.g. Strain MAP13)
SVN r2031 (trunk)
- Added more things from Gez's experimental build:
* MBF grenade and bouncing code.
* Arch Vile ghosts emulation (only for compatibility.txt.)
* Several MBF related compatibility options.
SVN r1821 (trunk)
that were changed some time ago.
- fixed: The damage inflictor for a rail attack was the shooter, not the puff.
- Fixed: Floor and ceiling huggers may not change their z-velocity when seeking.
- Fixed: UDMF set the secret sector flag before parsing the sector's properties,
resulting in it always being false.
- Renamed sector's oldspecial variable to secretsector to better reflect its
only use.
- Fixed: A_BrainSpit stored as the SpawnShot's target the intended BossTarget,
not itself contrarily to other projectile spawning functions.
A_SpawnFly then used the target for CopyFriendliness, thinking it'll be the
BossEye when in fact it wasn't.
- Added Gez's submission for a DEHACKED hack introduced by Boom.
(using code pointers of the form 'Pointer 0 (x statenumber)'.
- fixed: Attaching 3DMidtex lines by sector tag did not work because lines
were marked by index in the sector's line list but needed to be marked by
line index in the global array.
- fixed: On Linux ZDoom was creating a directory called "~.zdoom" for
save files because of a missing slash.
- fixed: UDMF was unable to read floating point values in exponential format
because the C Mode scanner was missing a definition for them.
- fixed: The recent changes for removing pointer aliasing got the end sequence
info from an incorrect variable. To make this more robust the sequence index
is now stored as a hexadecimal string to avoid storing binary data in a string.
Also moved end sequence lookup from f_finale.cpp to the calling code so that
the proper end sequences can be retrieved for secret exits, too.
SVN r1777 (trunk)
issues that caused its inclusion. Is an optimized GCC build any faster
for being able to use strict aliasing rules? I dunno. It's still slower
than a VC++ build.
I did run into two cases where TAutoSegIterator caused intractable problems
with breaking strict aliasing rules, so I removed the templating from it,
and the caller is now responsible for casting the probe value from void *.
- Removed #include "autosegs.h" from several files that did not need it
(in particular, dobject.h when not compiling with VC++).
SVN r1743 (trunk)
the same as the next new skill defined, if neither definition explicitly set
the value for ACSReturn.
- Added a DefaultSkill property. Adding it to a skill will cause that skill
to be the default one selected in the menu. If none is specified as the
default, then the middle skill is the default.
SVN r1731 (trunk)
a Minotaur couldn't spawn floor flames when standing in water having its
feet clipped.
- added vid_vsync to display options.
- fixed: Animations of type 'Range' must be disabled if the textures don't
come from the same definition unit (i.e both containing file and use type
are identical.)
- changed: Item pushing is now only done once per P_XYMovement call.
- Increased the push factor of Heretic's pod to 0.5 so that its behavior
more closely matches the original which depended on several bugs in the engine.
- Removed damage thrust clamping in P_DamageMobj and changed the thrust calculation
to use floats to prevent overflows. The prevention of the overflows was the
only reason the clamping was done.
- Added Raven's dagger-like vector sprite for the player to the automap code.
SVN r1668 (trunk)
- Added MF6_NOFEAR flag.
- Added A_MonsterRefire(probability, jumptarget).
- Added A_JumpIfTargetInSight(state) action function.
- Changed: Puffs set their angle to face the originator of the attack.
- Strife's burning hands originally make the level view fullbright.
changed in ZDoom to do partial brightening.
SVN r1642 (trunk)
the game has finished.
- Added NOBOSSRIP flag. Note: we are now at flags6!
- Added SetSkyScrollSpeed(int skyplane, fixed speed) ACS function.
- Added THRUACTORS flag that disables all actor<->actor collision detection.
- Added DONTSEEKINVISIBLE flag for missiles that can't home in on invisible
targets.
- Added SFX_TRANSFERPITCH flag to A_SpawnItemEx.
- Added Ultimate Freedoom IWAD detection.
- Added GetAirSupply and SetAirSupply functions to ACS.
- Fixed: The *surface sound was not played when drowning was switched off
by setting the level's air supply to 0.
SVN r1619 (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)
- Made 'next endgame' work again for cases where it is supposed to be
the same as 'next endgame4'.
- GCC nitpick fix: Classes being used as template parameters may not be
defined locally in a function. Fixed FWadFile::SetNamespace for that.
- Improved error reporting for incorrect textures in maps.
- Fixed: When music was stopped this was not set in the global music state.
- Fixed: Friendly monsters did not target enemy players in deathmatch.
SVN r1567 (trunk)
- removed gamemode variable. All it was used for were some checks that
really should depend on GI_MAPxx.
- Externalized all internal gameinfo definitions.
- added include to MAPINFO parser.
- split IWAD detection code off from d_main.cpp into its own file.
- disabled gamemission based switch filtering because it is not useful.
- added GAMEINFO submission by Blzut3 with significant modifications. There
is no GAMEINFO lump. Instead all information is placed in MAPINFO, except
the data that is needed to decide which WADs to autoload.
SVN r1497 (trunk)
certain actors and added an option to APowerInvisibility to set this
flag when active.
- Added map specific automap backgrounds.
- Fixed: Voodoo dolls did not play a sound when dying.
- Added colorized error messages to DECORATE and made a few more error
conditions that do not block further parsing not immediately abort.
- Made all errors in CreateNewActor not immediately fatal so that the
rest of the DECORATE lump can be parsed normally to look for more errors.
- Fixed: Defining classes with the same name as their immediate base class
was legal. It should not be allowed that a class has another one with the
same name in its ancestry.
- Fixed: Formatting of the intermission screen on Heretic, Hexen and Strife
was broken. Changed it to use WI_Drawpercent which does it properly and
also allows showing percentage in these games now.
- Fixed: The MAPINFO parser ignored missing terminating braces of the last
block in the file.
SVN r1425 (trunk)
colored error messages appear colored in the startup window. Also lightened
up the "Flat" red to contrast better with the startup background.
SVN r1424 (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)
