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.
SVN r640 (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)
if present.
- Modified GZDoom's true color texture copy functions and added them
to generate 32 bit D3D textures. Paletted TGAs and PCXs are also handled
this way but I don't think these 2 formats are worth some more special
handling.
(Question: Is it worth it to implement special handling for paletted PNGs
so that they are used as 8 bit textures internally?)
SVN r608 (trunk)
both dest and src. Also changed this function so that it is owned by the
destination canvas of the operation which is necessary if it needs to
be overridden by subclasses.
SVN r607 (trunk)
They are not actually drawn with it yet, nor is it complete, but it's
something to start with.
- Split up DCanvas::DrawTexture() into more pieces to make it easier to
virtualize.
- Removed support for non-32-bit palette textures from D3DFB. What kind of
card supports pixel shaders but not 32-bit textures?
SVN r605 (trunk)
P_TranslateLinedefs.
- Fixed: ShowErrorPane can be called before ST_NetDone is valid so it has to
check whether it is NULL.
- Fixed: The Megasphere had an incorrect pickup sound.
- Fixed: The new video initialization code could set the screen's Font pointer
to NULL, causing a crash with levels that start in a secret sector.
SVN r464 (trunk)
DCanvas::DrawTexture() to calculate off the actual bottom of the image
instead of the height, improving precision. Now the scaled status bar is
flush with the bottom of the screen at 1280x1024, for instance.
SVN r458 (trunk)
be surprised if it doesn't work.
- Reorganized the network startup loops so now they are event driven. There is
a single function that gets called to drive it, and it uses callbacks to
perform the different stages of the synchronization. This lets me have a nice,
responsive abort button instead of the previous unannounced hit-escape-to-
abort behavior, and I think the rearranged code is slightly easier to
understand too.
- Increased the number of bytes for version info during D_ArbitrateNetStart(),
in preparation for the day when NETGAMEVERSION requires more than one byte.
- I noticed an issue with Vista RC1 and the new fatal error setup. Even after
releasing a DirectDraw or Direct3D interface, the DWM can still use the
last image drawn using them when it composites the window. It doesn't always
do it but it does often enough that it is a real problem. At this point, I
don't know if it's a problem with the release version of Vista or not.
After messing around, I discovered the problem was caused by ~Win32Video()
hiding the window and then having it immediately shown soon after. The DWM
kept an image of the window to do the transition effect with, and then when
it didn't get a chance to do the transition, it didn't properly forget about
its saved image and kept plastering it on top of everything else
underneath.
- Added a network synchronization panel to the window during netgame startup.
- Fixed: PClass::CreateDerivedClass() must initialize StateList to NULL.
Otherwise, classic DECORATE definitions generate a big, fat crash.
- Resurrected the R_Init progress bar, now as a standard Windows control.
- Removed the sound failure dialog. The FMOD setup already defaulted to no
sound if initialization failed, so this only applies when snd_output is set
to "alternate" which now also falls back to no sound. In addition, it wasn't
working right, and I didn't feel like fixing it for the probably 0% of users
it affected.
- Fixed: The edit control used for logging output added text in reverse order
on Win9x.
- Went back to the roots and made graphics initialization one of the last
things to happen during setup. Now the startup text is visible again. More
importantly, the main window is no longer created invisible, which seems
to cause trouble with it not always appearing in the taskbar. The fatal
error dialog is now also embedded in the main window instead of being a
separate modal dialog, so you can play with the log window to see any
problems that might be reported there.
Rather than completely restoring the original startup order, I tried to
keep things as close to the way they were with early graphics startup. In
particular, V_Init() now creates a dummy screen so that things that need
screen dimensions can get them. It gets replaced by the real screen later
in I_InitGraphics(). Will need to check this under Linux to make sure it
didn't cause any problems there.
- Removed the following stubs that just called functions in Video:
- I_StartModeIterator()
- I_NextMode()
- I_DisplayType()
I_FullscreenChanged() was also removed, and a new fullscreen parameter
was added to IVideo::StartModeIterator(), since that's all it controlled.
- Renamed I_InitHardware() back to I_InitGraphics(), since that's all it's
initialized post-1.22.
SVN r416 (trunk)
- Fixed: If the FBTexture wasn't exactly the same size as the screen,
D3DFB::PaintToWindow() would still lock it with D3DLOCK_DISCARD. Alas,
I saw no speedup for using a dirty region. (Side note: The Radeons are
apparently slower compared to DirectDraw because they must do
power-of-2 textures. If they ever add non-power-of-2 support like nvidia,
I assume they will also see a speed gain.)
- Changed fb_d3d9.cpp so that instead of trying to compensate for Geforce
off-by-one errors in the pixel shader, it automatically detects where
the error occurs and modifies the way the palette is uploaded to
compensate. Palette color 255 is then represented using the texture
border color instead of actually being part of the palette. This should
work correctly with all cards, since I had a report of an FX where the
off-by-one occurred in a different spot from the place where I observed
it on a 6 and 7 series cards. Since the shader now has one fewer
instruction, I notice a very marginal speedup. (Interestingly, removing
the flash blending from the shader had no perceivable performance gain.)
SVN r399 (trunk)
DLevelScript::DoSpawn().
- Changed VectorNormalize() (and VectorNormalize2) to use doubles for storing
the vector lengths, fixing desyncs between GCC/VC++ games that happened
because the two compilers produced slightly different results for some
slopes. GCC kept them in registers, so they were never truncated to floats.
VC++ stored them to memory and reloaded them in order to truncate them to
the defined precision. Lesson learned: Floating point numbers in local
variables should always be doubles to produce the best code with VC++ that
has the best chance of matching GCC's default behavior.
- Removed netget and netsend function pointers. PacketGet and PacketSend are
now called directly.
- Fixed: Watching a demo from the point of view of someone other than the
first player could cause a crash when the demo ended.
- Removed invcount from the expression evaluator at Grubber's suggestion,
because it doesn't work.
- Fixed: vid_nowidescreen should fire off setsizeneeded so that changes to it
can happen immediately instead of at the next resolution change.
SVN r355 (trunk)
isn't defined yet in order to replace lumps that are not in the
list of preinitialized graphics.
- Changed font initialization to occur after textures have been completely
initialized. This is necessary so that the font characters can be
replaced with hires versions.
SVN r351 (trunk)
- If you aren't targeting x86, m_fixed.h only includes basicinlines.h now.
- Moved x64inlines.h into basicinlines.h.
- Replaced uses of __int64 with types from doomtype.h.
- The stop console command no longer ends single player games, just the demo
that was being recorded.
- In C mode, the sc_man parser no longer allows multi-line string constants
without using the \ character to preface the newline character. This makes
it much easier to diagnose errors where you forget the closing quote of a
string.
- Fixed: V_BreakLines() added the terminating '\0' to the last line of the
input string.
- Added font as a parameter to V_BreakLines and removed its keepspace
parameter, which was never passed as anything other than the default.
SVN r331 (trunk)
- 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)
data file.
- Removed the setcolor CCMD. It's been obsolete for years, ever since color-
aware cvars were added.
- Changed V_GetColorStringByName() to return an FString, because it did a
copystring() call.
- Extended V_GetColorFromString() so that it accepts HTML-style #RRGGBB and
#RGB color strings.
SVN r313 (trunk)
ReplaceTextures (str old_texture, str new_texture, optional bool not_lower,
optional bool not_mid, optional bool not_upper, optional bool not_floor,
optional bool not_ceiling); and
SectorDamage (int tag, int amount, str type, bool players_only, bool in_air,
str protection_item, bool subclasses_okay);
- Added the vid_nowidescreen cvar to disable widescreen aspect ratio
correction. When this is enabled, the only display ratio available is 4:3
(and 5:4 if vid_tft is set).
- Added support for setting an actor's damage property to an expression
through decorate. Just enclose it within parentheses, and the expression
will be evaluated exactly as-is without the normal Doom damage calculation.
So if you want something that does exactly 6 damage, use a "Damage (6)"
property. To deal normal Doom missile damage, you can use
"Damage (random(1,8)*6)" instead of "Damage 6".
- Moved InvFirst and InvSel into APlayerPawn so that they can be consistantly
maintained by ObtainInventory.
SVN r288 (trunk)
- Fixed map name checks in idclev, hxvisit, for +map and the titlemap.
- Changed handling of Zips so that the patches/, graphics/, sounds/ and
music/ subdirectories no longer are placed in the global namespace. Instead
new namespaces are defined. These namespaces aren't merged, however and
searching in them either returns a lump inside it or one from the global
namespace when it doesn't come from a Zip file. Proper order of files is
still observed though. As a result proper use of the directories inside Zips
is strictly enforced now so that for example anything used as a patch must be
in the patches/ directory and won't be found anywhere else.
SVN r199 (trunk)
data enough (2 bits instead of 8), so it was super loud and aliased.
- Fixes for GCC 4.1: Several type-punned pointer warnings, but more
importantly, declaring a friend function inside a class body is no longer
enough to declare that function globally; you must declare it again outside
the class.
- Upgraded FArchive::SerializePointer so that it can store 32-bit indices.
- ACS printing pcodes now build their string in an FSttring instead of a fixed
sized buffer on the stack.
SVN r145 (trunk)
functions added to the exit chain with atterm so that they can be called
in a deterministic order and not whatever order the linker decides to put
them in.
- Fixed: DCajunMaster did not free its getspawned.
- Fixed: P_FreeLevelData() did not free ACS scripts.
- Fixed: Level snapshots were not freed at exit.
- Fixed: The save/load menu list was not freed at exit.
- Fixed: FCompressedMemFile needs a destructor to free the m_ImplodedBuffer.
- Fixed: G_DoLoadGame() did not free the engine string.
- Fixed: M_ReadSaveStrings() did not free the engine string.
- Fixed: Processing DEM_SAVEGAME did not free the pathname string.
- Added a check for truncated flats to FFlatTexture::MakeTexture() because
Heretic's F_SKY1 is only four bytes long.
- Added a dump of the offending state to the "Cannot find state..." diagnostic.
- Fixed: FCompressedFile did not initialize m_Mode in its default constructor.
- Fixed: Heretic and Hexen status bars did not initialize ArtiRefresh.
- Fixed: PNGHandle destructor should use delete[] to free TextChunks.
SVN r111 (trunk)
- Added support for wrapping midtextures vertically.
- Since zdoom.wad is now zdoom.pk3, the default mapinfos can use full pathnames.
So now they do.
- Fixed: The DSimpleCanvas constructor used a pitch too narrow on screens wider
than 640 pixels when using a non-AMD processor and the processor's L1 cache
line size could not be determined. I think this should fix the issue of
weirdly rendered 8 pixel wide borders on the left and right of the screen that
some people experienced.
- Fixed: The secnodes were never freed.
