and did not entirely keep it in sync with the sound system's. This meant
that when starting a new game from the menu, all sounds were played as
menu sounds until you did something to pause the game, because s_sound.cpp
thought sounds were unpaused, while the FMOD system thought they were.

definitions in HIRESTEX. The feature should be complete now.
- Fixed: A_CheckTargetInLOS used BAM angles instead of degrees which is the
DECORATE convention.
- Added Snowkate709's A_CheckTargetInLOS addition.
- Added listmaps CCMD.
SVN r974 (trunk)
optional freeverb unit.
- Removed ResetEnvironment hack, since with software reverb, losing the
existing reverb when focus is lost isn't a problem.
- Commented out the TiMidity FIXME messages.
SVN r973 (trunk)
be used to prevent them from dropping through 3DMIDTEX textures.
- Fixed: AMageStaffFX2::IsOkayToAttack overwrote the projectile's angle variable.
SVN r970 (trunk)
This seems to fix crashes on GCC 64-bit builds when saving games. Not sure
if it was a GCC bug or my bug, since it worked fine with VC++, but since the
code that calculates the index only returns a DWORD, storing it as a size_t
was rather pointless.
SVN r969 (trunk)
definitions take precedence.
- Added base translation tables for UDMF compatibility maps which only should
handle the native line and sector types of each game.
- Turned the inactive SILENT_INSTANT_FLOORS define into a compatibility option
so that it can be (un)set in a map definition and the menu.
SVN r966 (trunk)
of type MiscPatch with the same name.
- Added UDMF line trigger types MonsterUse and MonsterPush.
- Separated skill and class filter bits from FMapThing::flags so that
UDMF can define up to 16 of each. Also separated easy/baby and
hard/nightmare and changed default MAPINFO definitions.
- Changed: Crosshair drawing uses the current player class's default health instead
of 100 to calculate the color for the crosshair.
- Added SECF_NOFALLINGDAMAGE flag plus Sector_ChangeFlags to set it. Also separated
all user settable flags from MoreFlags into their own Flags variable.
SVN r964 (trunk)
GUS patch flags, envelopes, and volume levels, while trying to be closer
to TiMidity++ than original TiMidity.
- Renamed timidity_config and timidity_voices to midi_config and midi_voices
respectively.
SVN r959 (trunk)
- Added very basic Soundfont support to the internal TiMidity. Things missing:
filter, LFOs, modulation envelope, chorus, reverb, and modulators. May or
may not be compatible with TiMidity++'s soundfont extensions.
- Added support for quoted strings to the TiMidity config parser.
SVN r957 (trunk)
- Separated mapthing2_t into mapthinghexen_t and the internal FMapThing so
that it is easier to add new features in the UDMF map format.
- Added some initial code to read UDMF maps.
SVN r956 (trunk)
of all types on the same linedef. Also added a 'first side only' flag. This
is not usable from Hexen or Doom format maps though but in preparation of
the UDMF format discussed here:
http://www.doomworld.com/vb/source-ports/43145-udmf-v0-99-specification-draft-aka-textmap/
- Changed linedef's alpha property from a byte to fixed point after seeing that
255 wasn't handled to be fully opaque.
- fixed a GCC warning in fmodsound.cpp
SVN r954 (trunk)
there were no designated characters to strip at the end of it.
- Added support for Shoutcast/Icecast playlists.
- Added an error message when a playlist could not be opened.
- Added support for PLS format playlists, in addition to M3U.
- Changed FPlayList to use an array of FStrings.
- Fixed: Playlists required every song to be specified by an absolute path.
SVN r951 (trunk)
waveforms, and three of them are non-negative. This can cause a tendency
for the resulting output waveform to go into very high ranges depending on
the timbres used, and Heretic's exemplify this problem.
- Reduced the OPL volume level slightly.
- Fixed: The waveform view from snd_drawoutput was upside-down.
SVN r949 (trunk)
EMIDI specs: Track designations and exclusions should be ignored past
the initial beat, and EMIDI program change and volume events should be
ignored unless they were used in the initial beat.
SVN r944 (trunk)
could also be because the user selected PCM-Float output, but the driver
doesn't support it (even if it claims to *cough*Audigy XP drivers*cough*).
SVN r943 (trunk)
- Simplified the DrawGraphic function in sbarinfo_display.cpp
- Added xOffset, yOffset, and alpha to every drawing function in
sbarinfo_display.cpp. So Strife popups can be handeled better and allow for
other effects (translucent bars?). I'm thinking about making a struct for
these five (also x and y) arguments so that the argument lists don't become a
mess.
- Changed DRAWIMAGE in sbarinfo_display.cpp to not use so many calls to
DrawGraphic.
- DrawKeyBar wasn't using screen->DrawTexture.
- Added a Fade transition for popups. It takes two args fade in rate and fade
out rate. Both are floats (1.0 = 1 tic to complete 0.5 = 2 tics to complete
and so on).
- Added a translucency arg to statusbars. 1.0 = opaque and 0.0 = invisible.
SVN r939 (trunk)
track off, any ticks that had only events on the disabled track would cause
the delay for that track to be thrown away, and the following notes on
enabled tracks would play too soon. This could be heard quite clearly in
xplasma.mid, where track 4 (FMGlass Drone 1) would interfere with the timing
of tracks 13 and 14 (EP1 Melody and EP1 Echo).
SVN r937 (trunk)
already playing on the channel, it should stop it with finish_note(), not
kill_note(). This can be clearly heard in the final cymbal crashes of
D_DM2TTL where TiMidity cuts them off because the final cymbals are played
with a velocity of 1 before the preceding cymbals have finished. (I wonder
if I should be setting the self_nonexclusive flag for GUS patches to
disable even this behavior, though, since gf1note.c doesn't turn off
duplicate notes.)
- Changed envelope handling to hopefully match the GUS player's. The most
egregious mistake TiMidity makes is to treat bit 6 as an envelope enable
bit. This is not what it does; every sample has an envelope. Rather, this
is a "no sampled release" flag. Also, despite fiddling with the
PATCH_SUSTAIN flag during instrument loading, TiMidity never actually
used it. Nor did it do anything at all with the PATCH_FAST_REL flag.
SVN r934 (trunk)
and not properly zero-terminated when all 8 characters were used.
- Fixed: Local sound sequence definitions caused a crash because a proper
NULL check was missing.
SVN r933 (trunk)
- Also changed all true color texture creation functions to use proper alpha
values instead of inverted ones.
- Changed FRemapTable so that all palette entries must contain proper alpha
values.
- Fixed: The F1 screen check in m_menu.cpp was missing a NULL pointer check.
- Changed: The boss brain's explosions play weapons/rocklx which is an
unlimited sound. This can become extremely loud. Replaced with a new
sound which is just an alias to weapons/rocklx but has a limit of 4.
SVN r932 (trunk)
it never freed. I'm not sure it's a good assumption that 9 characters is
always long enough, either, since you can have longer file names than that
inside a zip.
- Fixed: DSBarInfo::DrawGem() crashed if chain or gem was NULL.
SVN r929 (trunk)
3D panning.
- The listener's velocity is now set at 0 for the sound engine. The player
moves so fast that you can hear the doppler shift just by running around,
otherwise.
- Changed the sound code so that all sounds that start playing on a single
tic actually start playing at the exact same sample position.
SVN r927 (trunk)
wave file.
- Changed the default channel velocity for MUS files from 64 to 100 to
better match apparent MIDI practice. (Would like to know what this is
supposed to be.)
- Changed the mus2midi channel assignments to match the internal player's.
- Fixed: apply_envelope_to_amp() should clamp the mix levels to 0.
SVN r926 (trunk)
timidity_voices cvar.
- Added stats lines for the OPL and Timidity MIDI devices.
- Completely changed the way TiMidity volume calculations are done. It
should now be extremely close to the output a real GUS would produce with
its official MIDI player (excepting where TiMidity normalizes sample
volumes). The new equations more closely match what is specified by the DLS
and SF2 specs (but not quite), so I presume it's also more musically
correct than what TiMidity (and TiMidity++) do.
SVN r925 (trunk)
they were outside the blockmap. This could cause extreme delays if an
iteration started outside the valid boundaries.
- added nextmap and nextsecret CCMDs.
SVN r924 (trunk)
before sending it to Channel::getReverbProperties().
- Fixed: The earthquake effect did not play its sound as an actual looping
sound. I'm a bit surprised this only recently started causing problems.
SVN r923 (trunk)
snd_reset would eventually run into the hard limit on the total number
of FMOD::System objects that can be created concurrently (currently 15).
- Added proper error checks to the FMOD initialization process.
SVN r921 (trunk)
- Set note velocity back to using a linear sounding volume curve, although
it's now used to scale channel volume and expression, so recompute_amp()
is still only doing one volume curve lookup.
- Fixed: TimidityMIDIDevice caused a crash at the end of a non-looping song.
SVN r920 (trunk)
instruments to specific notes.
- Changed note velocity to not use the volume curve in recompute_amp(), since
this sounds closer to TiMidity++, although I don't believe it's correct
MIDI behavior. Also changed expression so that it scales the channel volume
before going through the curve.
- Reworked load_instrument to be less opaque.
- Went through the TiMidity code and removed pretty much all of the SDL_mixer
extensions. The only exception would be kill_others(), which I reworked
into a kill_key_group() function, which should be useful for DLS
instruments in the future.
SVN r918 (trunk)
- Removed FRadiusThingsIterator after discovering that VC++ misoptimized
it in P_CheckPosition. Now FBlockThingsIterator is used with the distance
check being done manually.
SVN r914 (trunk)
- Reorganized the HackHack code so that the image creation was moved into
MakeTexture. This was necessary because Unload deleted the pixel data
and broke the whole thing.
- Fixed: FPatchTexture::HackHack and FDoomStatusbarTexture::DrawToBar used the
obsolete and uninitialized variable Near255.
- Removed the span creation code specific to FPatchTexture. It only has an
advantage when the lump has already been loaded in memory but since that
is no longer the case now the generic version in FTexture is actually better.
- Changed: FTexture::CopyToBlock no longer uses the spans but the pixel buffer
directly. Since most patches in multipatch textures are non transparent
the added overhead from creating the spans far outweighs any savings they
might provide. It is also simpler to handle for mirrored or rotated patches now.
- Changed: Textures only create the spans when really needed. Flats and native
textures, for example, do not and it only created needless overhead that they
were always created along with the pixel buffer.
- Made use of player and actor variables consistent in a_hereticweaps.cpp.
- Fixed: A few calls to P_SpawnPlayerMissile passed 0 as angle
SVN r911 (trunk)
- Changed: When loading Zips all patches in the patches/ directory should
be loaded, not only those used by a texture in TEXTUREx.
- Disabled timidity_mastervolume for the internal Timidity again because
with the altered volume calculation it is no longer needed and the default
volume is on the same level as OPL and FMOD.
SVN r909 (trunk)
FMOD_INIT_ENABLE_PROFILE. Renamed the corresponding cvar to snd_profile.
- Removed the normalize parameter from SoundStream::Play().
- Disabled the chorus and reverb effects added to SDL_mixer's Timidity,
because they were probably never tested well, either. Thanks to the bug
in vc_alloc(), they were never even activated.
- Restored the exact frequency range search that was missing from SDL_mixer's
verion of select_sample().
- Fixed: vc_alloc(), kill_others(), and note_on() treated Voice::status as a
bit mask, when it's not. These were changes made to SDL_mixer's Timidity.
- Restored the original Timidity volume equation. The other louder one was
put in when I didn't realize all channels were mono and many notes sounded
too quiet because they never completed their attack phase.
- Fixed: FileReader::Gets() acted as if fgets() always read the maximum
number of characters.
- Fixed: FileReader::Open() did not set FilePos and StartPos to 0.
SVN r908 (trunk)
because it has the same sound volume issues as the external one.
- Replaced use of stdio in Timidity with FileReader and added the option to read
from the lump directory. If the main config file is inside the lump directory
it will assume that everything else is as well. If it is a real file it will be
assumed that the rest is real files as well.
- Fixed: None of the error returns in Timidity::read_config_file closed the file being read.
SVN r906 (trunk)
- Added support for defining composite textures in HIRESTEX. It is not fully tested
and right now can't do much more than the old TEXTUREx method.
- Added a few NULL pointer checks to the texture code.
- Made duplicate class names in DECORATE non-fatal. There is really no stability
concern here and the worst that can happen is that the wrong actor is spawned.
This was a constant hassle when testing with WADs that contain duplicate resources.
SVN r905 (trunk)
- Fixed: MinGW doesn't have _get_pgmptr(), so it couldn't compile i_main.cpp.
- Fixed: MOD_WAVETABLE and MOD_SWSYNTH are not defined by w32api, so MinGW
failed compiling the new MIDI code.
- Fixed: LocalSndInfo and LocalSndSeq in S_Start() need to be const char
pointers, since "" is a constant.
- Fixed: parsecontext.h was missing a newline at the end of the file.
SVN r904 (trunk)
particular, this meant that every channel was almost certainly in mono mode,
which can sound pretty bad if the song isn't meant to be played that way.
- Added bank numbers to the MIDI precaching for Timidity, since I guess I do
need to care about banks, if even the Duke MIDIs use various banks.
- Fixed: snd_midiprecache only exists in Win32 builds, so gameconfigfile.cpp
shouldn't unconditionally link against it.
- Fixed: pre_resample() was still disabled, and it left two samples at the end
of the new wave data uninitialized.
SVN r903 (trunk)
rid of timidity/tables.cpp, which conflicts in name with the main Doom
tables.cpp. (And interestingly, VC++ automatically renamed the object file,
so I wasn't aware of the problem with GCC.)
SVN r902 (trunk)
channel when restarting the song, rather than emitting a single note off
event which only has a 1 in 127 chance of being for a note that's playing
on that channel. Then I decided it would probably be a good idea to reset
all the controllers as well.
- Increasing the size of the internal Timidity stream buffer from 1/14 sec
(copied from the OPL player) improved its sound dramatically, so apparently
Timidity has issues with short stream buffers. It's now at 1/2 sec in
length. However, there seems to be something weird going on with
corazonazul_ff6boss.mid near the beginning where it stops and immediately
restarts a guitar on the exact same note.
- Added a new sound debugging cvar: snd_drawoutput, which can show various
oscilloscopes and spectrums.
- Internal TiMidity now plays music.
- Changed the progdir global variable into an FString.
SVN r900 (trunk)
- Fixed: SBarInfo tried to calculate scaled offsets on unscaled status bars.
- Added: createpopup to SBarInfo. No we don't have custom popups yet. It only
defines the transition effect. Currently none or slideinbottom.
- Made the first argument of DrawMugShot optional (think of it as an overloaded
function). The use of the first argument is deprecated due to the event of
per player class faces.
- More changes from DrawImage to screen->DrawTexture(). I guess I didn't get
them all just yet.
SVN r897 (trunk)
and P_TryMove. Moved BlockingLine and BlockingMobj into AActor because
the global variables can be easily overwritten with certain DECORATE
constructs.
SVN r894 (trunk)
- Fixed some bugs in the HIRESTEX parser.
- Added floating point support and #include and #define tokens to
FParseContext Not used yet.
- replaced the value scanning code in FParseContext::GetToken with
calls to strtol.
SVN r893 (trunk)
freed and each iterator allocated a new one as a result.
- Split the Xlat parser context class into a generic part that can be
used for other Lemon-based parsers in the future and a smaller
Xlat-specific part.
SVN r892 (trunk)
P_FindFloorCeiling doesn't set it at all. The way it was set in
PIT_FindFloorCeiling didn't look correct.
- Changed P_FindFloorCeiling so that it doesn't need global variables
anymore. I also moved the code to set the calling actor's information
into this function because that's all it is used for. This also fixes
another bug:
- AInventory::BecomePickup called P_FindFloorCeiling to get
proper position values for the item but never set the item's information
to the return value of this call.
SVN r891 (trunk)
Chaos Device. This sound is not defined by the other games so it won't
play by default.
- Added MORPH_UNDOBYTOMEOFPOWER and MORPH_UNDOBYCHAOSDEVICE flags
for the morph style so that the special behavior of these two items
can be switched on and off.
SVN r890 (trunk)
P_FindFloorCeiling never did that.
- Merged Check_Sides and PIT_CrossLine into A_PainShootSkull.
- Replaced P_BlockLinesIterator with FBlockLinesIterator in all places it was
used. This also allowed to remove all the global variable saving in
P_CreateSecNodeList.
- Added a new FBlockLinesIterator class that doesn't need a callback
function because debugging the previous bug proved to be a bit annoying
because it involved a P_BlockLinesIterator loop.
- Fixed: The MBF code to move monsters away from dropoffs did not work as
intended due to some random decisions in P_DoNewChaseDir. When in the
avoiding dropoff mode these are ignored now. This should cure the problem
that monsters hanging over a dropoff tended to drop down.
SVN r887 (trunk)
flag are only drawn as part of a secret sector if that secret has already
been found, even if the option is set to always show secret sectors.
- Added a NULL pointer check to WI_LoadBackground.
SVN r885 (trunk)
MAPINFO where 'lookup' could be specified so that there is one consistent
way to do it.
- Added a missing NULL pointer check to S_Start.
SVN r884 (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)
- Added: fillzeros flag for drawnumber. When set the string will always have
a length of the specified size and zeros will fill in for the missing places.
If the number is negative the negative sign will take the place of the last
digit.
- Added: globalarray type to drawnumber which will display the value in a
global array with the index set to the player's number. Untested.
- Added: isselected command to SBarInfo.
- Fixed: Bi and Tri colored numbers didn't work.
- Fixed: Crash when using nullimage as the last image in drawswitchableimage.
- Applied Graf suggestion to include the y coord when calulating heights to fix
most of the gaps caused by round off errors. At least for now anyways and it
is only applied for drawimage.
- SBarInfo inventory bars have been converted to use screen->DrawTexture()
SVN r881 (trunk)
line.
- Fixed: P_SpawnPuff assumed that all melee attacks have the same range
(MELEERANGE) and didn't set the puff to its melee state if the range
was different. Even worse, it checked a global variable for this so
the behavior was undefined when P_SpawnPuff was called from anywhere
else but P_LineAttack. To reduce the amount of parameters I combined
this information with the hitthing and temporary parameters into one
flags parameter. Also changed P_LineAttack so that it gets passed
an additional parameter that specifies whether the attack is a melee
attack or not and set this to true in all calls that are to be considered
melee attacks. I couldn't use the damage type because A_CustomPunch
and A_CustomMeleeAttack allow passing any damage type they want.
- Added a sprite option as an alternative of particles for FX_ROCKET
and FX_GRENADE.
SVN r879 (trunk)
DECORATE was wrong (2 instead of 1.)
- Changed: Hexen set every cluster to be a hub if it hadn't been defined before
a level using this cluster. Now it will only do that if HexenHack is true,
i.e. when original Hexen format MAPINFOs are parsed. For ZDoom format
MAPINFOs it will now be the same as for the other games which means that
'hub' has to be declared explicitly.
- Added an Idle state that is entered in place of the spawn state if a monster
has to return to its inactive state if it can't find any more targets.
- Added MF5_NOINTERACTION flag which completely disables all physics related
code for any actor with this flag. Mostly useful for particle effects where
the actors just move a certain distance and then disappear.
- Removed the last remains of the antialias precalculation code from
am_map.cpp because it was no longer used.
- Fixed: Two-sided lines bordering a secret sector were not drawn in the
proper color
- Fixed: The automap didn't check ACS_LockedExecuteDoor for its lock color.
SVN r876 (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)
can be played as OPL can also be dumped.
- Removed the opl_enable cvar, since OPL playback is now selectable as just
another MIDI device.
- Added support for DRO playback and dual-chip RAW playback.
- Removed MUS support from OPLMUSSong, since using the OPLMIDIDevice with
MUSSong2 works just as well. There are still lots of leftover bits in
the class that should probably be removed at some point, too.
- Added dual-chip dumping support for the RAW format.
- Added DosBox Raw OPL (.DRO) dumping support. For whatever reason,
in_adlib calculates the song length for this format wrong, even though
the exact length is stored right in the header. (But in_adlib seems buggy
in general; too bad it's the only Windows version of Adplug that seems to
exist.)
- Rewrote the OPL dumper to work with MIDI as well as MUS.
SVN r872 (trunk)
set to NULL before performing the delete. Otherwise, in some abnormal
situations, it could happen that the destroyed screen object is still
being accessed.
- Fixed: V_Shutdown didn't set OF_YesReallyDelete before deleting screen.
SVN r870 (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)
Missimp.mid sounds a lot better now, though still a little off.
- Fixed: MIDI files that had ticks with nothing but meta-events did not play
properly. (fixes sonic3_finalboss.mid)
SVN r868 (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)
advanced sound options menu. Removed opl_enable from the menu.
- Added OPL synth as MIDI device -3. Since this is based on the MUS player
code, it only supports those events and controllers supported by MUS.
Some of Duke's MIDIs sound awful, but I think that may be more because
it's using different instruments... There's a thread in the MIDI streamer
class that could be taken out for Linux, since it doesn't need to deal
with the Windows Multimedia API, but for now, this is still Windows-only.
SVN r864 (trunk)
into a general MIDI player.
- Fixed: Passing false for a stream callback did not stop the stream.
- Removed opl_frequency, since the only time the emulation sounds good is
when it plays at the exact frequency of a real chip.
- Music no longer plays at all when snd_musicvolume is 0.
- Bumped up snd_sfxvolume and snd_musicvolume default values.
SVN r862 (trunk)
that the drivers will treat a BackBufferCount of 0 as a request for
double buffering.
- Fixed: Unsetting a cvar did not remove it from the list of tab
completions.
- Added "" as a synonym for "nullimage" in SBARINFO.
- Fixed: MAKESAVESIG's stringifier in version.h did not work as expected.
It stringified the passed macro name, not the value of the macro.
- Moved DCajunMaster off the DObject hierarchy.
- Changed DCajunMaster::getspawned into a TArray of FStrings. It was
mysteriously being left pointing to uninitialized memory during the
final GC at exit and crashing.
- Fixed: The code that removed hexdd.wad from the list of IWADs when
hexen.wad was not present did not work.
SVN r861 (trunk)
from doing prebuffering of the song. This was causing the Linux version to
hang while waiting for input from the pipe, since Timidity hadn't been
started yet. I tried using a select call in the FillStream() method, but it
always seems to return the pipe as having nothing available. Unfortunately,
the game still falls all over itself if Timidity isn't available. Instead
of execvp failing nicely, X errors kill the game. I don't know why it's
doing that. My advice for Linux music: Skip Timidity++ and get a DLS patch
set (/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/gm.dls is probably the most common by far)
and set the snd_midipatchset cvar to point to it. It's faster and also
sounds a whole lot better than the crappy freepats Ubuntu wants to install
with Timidity++.
- GCC fixes.
SVN r858 (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.
