- A_OverlayRenderStyle(int layer, int style) - Sets the renderstyle of a layer to one of the STYLE_ types.
- A_OverlayAlpha(int layer, float alphaset) - Sets the alpha of a layer.
- OverlayAlpha(int layer) - Non-action function retrieves the alpha of a layer.
New overlay flags:
- PSPF_ALPHA/STYLE - enables individual alpha and render styles on the layers set with them.
- PSPF_FORCE(ALPHA/STYLE) - Forces the overlay's alpha to be rendered with its own amount instead of multiplying. This does not count towards fuzzy, transsouls, or stencil (use stenciladd, etc. for stencil).
- PSPF_FLIP - Flips the X of the layer over, drawing it in reverse.
This had been defined as a regular compound statement but in the context this will be used in, that makes very little sense, because all it can do is set some constant values.
The most important thing here is that it doesn't provide an unnecessary learning curve to its users and doing it this way will not only ensure that but also avoid redundant documentation.
To allow initialization of other user-defined properties it will require some extensions but that's a job for later and can just as easily be done in the current framework, rather than throwing everything out and start from zero.
- added checks for duplicate field names.
- moved the tree node symbol tables out of PSymbolTreeNode to the worker data. That symbol is a bad location because it restricts the usefulness of the symbol class which is also needed for variables which use different AST structs.
- fixed some memory management issues with the work classes for the compiler that became apparent after moving the symbol tables in there. In several places these were copied around, possibly losing data.
- fixed: The tree nodes for classes and struct members were stored in the global tree nodes table.
- sort variable declarations into their own list for processing.
This uses a different algorithm as the old implementation - instead of recursively resolving unknown symbols it will first collect all constants from all scopes and then process them in one operation, doing multiple passes over the list until no more constants can be resolved anymore.
- fixed class creation. There was an infinite loop and some missing checks for native classes.
- do not write the compiler's symbols to the same symbol table as the output. The output must go to GlobalSymbols but the internal symbols must go to a namespace specific table that can be discarded after compilation.
This is the first thing the compiler has to do to get access to the class's symbol table. Of course at this point the final size of a class is not known yet so these are currently all treated as tentative.
- place generated symbols into GlobalSymbols instead of a scratch table that will be discarded right away.
- allow the state object to change source file scanners (I hope this works, but the old implementation was unable to do more than one with with a parse state so I had to change it.)
- It can now parse constants.txt and insert everything in it into the global symbol table and make subsequent DECORATE compile properly.
Instead of replacing the original, the second class will get renamed now, using the originating file as an identifier. In the vast majority of cases this should do exactly what is needed: Create an unconflicting second class that can coexist with the original. Unless the class is used by name this should eliminate all problems with this, but so far I haven't seen anything that used them by name.
This is choosing the lesser of two evils. While some mod out there may get broken, the old setup meant that the first class of a given name could not be written out to a savegame because it was not retrievable when loading it back.
Ultimately we may have to get a fully qualified name out of this, so Outer should be a type that can handle this feature. The new class for this is currently used as base for PType and PSymbol so that PNamedType inherits from it and maybe later a namespace symbol can, too.
