- fixed: When replacing a tentative class, the pointers in the morph objects were not replaced. Instead of adding more ReplaceClassRef methods I chose to integrate this part into the PointerSubstitution mechanism and delete ReplaceClassRef entirely. The code had some oversights anyway that would have caused problems, now that non-actors can be created.
It is utterly pointless to require every function that wants to make a VM call to allocate a new stack first. The allocation overhead doubles the time to set up the call.
With one stack, previously allocated memory can be reused. The only important thing is, if this ever gets used in a multithreaded environment to have the stack being declared as thread_local, although for ZDoom this is of no consequence.
- eliminated all cases where native code was calling other native code through the VM interface. After scriptifying the game code, only 5 places were left which were quickly eliminated. This was mostly to ensure that the native VM function parameters do not need to be propagated further than absolutely necessary.
- cleaned up the virtual function interface of APlayerPawn which still had many virtual declarations from old times when class properties were handled through virtual overrides. None of this makes sense these days anymore.
Needless to say, this is simply too volatile and would require constant active maintenance, not to mention a huge amount of work up front to get going.
It also hid a nasty problem with the Destroy method. Due to the way the garbage collector works, Destroy cannot be exposed to scripts as-is. It may be called from scripts but it may not be overridden from scripts because the garbage collector can call this function after all data needed for calling a scripted override has already been destroyed because if that data is also being collected there is no guarantee that proper order of destruction is observed. So for now Destroy is just a normal native method to scripted classes
- scriptified all Effect functions of Fastprojectile's children
- implemented access to class meta data.
- added a VM instruction to retrieve the class metadata, to eliminate the overhead of the function call that would otherwise be needed.
- made GetClass() a builtin so that it can use the new instruction
Important note about this commit: Scriptifying CFlameMissile::Effect revealed a problem with the virtual function interface: In order to work, this needs to be explicitly enabled for each single native class that may be used as a base for a scripted class. Needless to say, this will end up way too much work, as there are over 100 native classes, excluding those which will be scriptified. But in order to fix the problem this partially broken state needs to be committed first.
- instead add a list of SpecialInits to VMScriptFunction so this can be done transparently when setting up and popping the stack frame. The only drawback is that this requires permanent allocation of stack objects for the entire lifetime of a function but this is a relatively small tradeoff for significantly reduced maintenance work throughout.
- removed most #include "vm.h", because nearly all files already pull this in through dobject.h.
- made 'DamageMultiply' an actor property and moved the initialization of ConversationRoot to the property handler for the compiler to get this stuff out of the type classes.
- consolidate default initialization into one function which performs all the required setup. The original implementation did this when adding the fields but that cannot work because at that time no defaults have been created yet.
- fixed: When deriving a class the child class's defaults also must initialize the copied parent fields with special initialization. This part was completely missing.
- removed DECORATE code for parsing native classes because it's no longer needed.
- made some tests about calling script code from native functions.
* scriptified A_SkullAttack to have something to test
* changed the A_SkullAttack call in A_PainShootSkull.
* use a macro to declare the function pointer. Using local static variable init directly results in hideous code for the need of being thread-safe (which, even if the engine was made multithreaded is not needed here.)
* Importsnt node here: Apparently passing an actor pointer to the VMValue constructor results in the void * version being called, not the DObject * version.
- swapped parameters of two-parameter VelToAngle method, so that internal and script version are in line.
- fixed parameter asserts to handle NULL pointers properly.
- fixed: Script functions did not receive the function name when being created.
- relaxed the asserts for PARAM_STATE, because the VM knows nothing about ATAG_STATE. Any state variable's content (e.g. Actor.SeeState) will receive ATAG_GENERIC, rather than ATAG_STATE.
- added a 'NeedResult' flag so that certain operations can create shorter code if the result of the expression is not needed. So far only used for postdecrement/increment statements on local variables (which is the most frequent case where this matters.)
- fixed postincrement and decrement for local variables. Due to the result preservation semantics it created faulty code.
Ironically this only requires a very minor change in the calling code and an added member for the VMFunction to tell that code how many parameters to pass.
This change will allow to turn the vast majority of action functions into regular members, the only ones that still need to be an action function are the few that actually use the pointers.
- split FinishActor into several functions. While DECORATE can, ZSCRIPT cannot do all this in one go.
- split the state finalization into several class-specific virtual functions.
* everything related to scripting is now placed in a subdirectory 'scripting', which itself is separated into DECORATE, ZSCRIPT, the VM and code generation.
* a few items have been moved to different headers so that the DECORATE parser definitions can mostly be kept local. The only exception at the moment is the flags interface on which 3 source files depend.
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.
The way this was done was a major headache inducer, requiring reconstruction of the function each time the value was changed and in general made actor damage a major hassle.
There was a DECORATE wrapper to mimic the original behavior but this looked quite broken because it completely ignored the different semantics of both damage calculation types.
It also made it impossible to determine if damage was a function or a value.
This accessor has been reverted to what it should be, only returning the constant, which now is -1 for a damage function. I am sorry if this may break the odd mod out but a quick look over some DECORATE-heavy stuff showed that this was never combined in any of them so that accessing 'damage' in DECORATE code depended on an actual damage function.
To get proper damage, a future commit will add a DECORATE function which calls AActor::GetMissileDamage.
- Converted P_MovePlayer and all associated variables to floating point because this wasn't working well with a mixture between float and fixed.
Like the angle commit this has just been patched up to compile, the bulk of work is yet to be done.
- The A_Jump family of action functions now return the state to jump
to (NULL if no jump is to be taken) instead of jumping directly.
It is the caller's responsibility to handle the jump. This will
make it possible to use their results in if statements and
do something other than jump.
- DECORATE return statements can now return the result of a function
(but not any random expression--it must be a function call). To
make a jump happen from inside a multi-action block, you must
return the value of an A_Jump function. e.g.:
{ return A_Jump(128, "SomeState"); }
- The VMFunction class now contains its prototype instead of storing
it at a higher level in PFunction. This is so that
FState::CallAction can easily tell if a function returns a state.
- Removed the FxTailable class because with explicit return
statements, it's not useful anymore.
This was to resolve some circular dependencies with the portal code.
The most notable changees:
* FTextureID was moved from textures.h to doomtype.h because it is frequently needed in files that don't want to do anything with actual textures.
* split off the parts from p_maputl into a separate header.
* consolidated all blockmap related data into p_blockmap.h
* split off the polyobject parts into po_man.h
This cuts down on as much message noise as possible, outputs everything to a file specified as a parameter and then quits immediately, allowing this to run from a batch that's supposed to check a larger list of files for errors.
Multiple outputs get appended if the file already exists.
The function 'PClassActor::InitializeNativeDefault' is the only one which didn't allocate the 'Defaults' member variable with M_Malloc. Reported by the Address Sanitizer.

(Had to merge this all by itself because it was creating too many merge conflicts when combined with other stuff.
be no conflicts with recently-added named arguments for spawnable things on UDMF maps.
- Change the SpawnableThings array into a map, so there is no longer any particular upper limit on an actor's SpawnID. Also fixes a possible exploit, since an actor's SpawnID was never checked to make sure it was within range.
SVN r3959 (trunk)
- Changed Actor's Damage property into an actual function. All access to the damage property
must now be done through GetMissileDamage. actor->GetMissileDamage(0, 1) is equivalent
to the former actor->Damage, for the case where actor->Damage was not an expression. (I
suppose I will probably need to make a thunk for DECORATE expressions that want to read it.)
- Cleaned up some decorate expression evaluation functions that are no longer used.
SVN r3919 (scripting)
about this now. I spent three days trying to figure out why the VC++ debug version was so slow.
It turns out I had a conditional breakpoint set in a high-traffic area. D'oh!
The rest of this stuff should get merged into trunk:
- Fixed: Writing to debugfile uses the standard fprintf, which does not understand %td on VC++.
- Fixed: Instead of crashing when a sprite has been scaled to 0, just don't draw it.
SVN r3896 (scripting)
POSS A 10 A_Look
You can define it as:
POSS A random(10,20) A_Look
and the state will last a random duration between 10 and 20 tics, inclusive.
SVN r3847 (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 new sprite #### and frame character # to specify the behavior of sprite ---- on a
per-sprite and per-frame basis respectively.
SVN r2291 (trunk)
instead of PClass::m_Types (now PClass::AllClasses).
- Removed ClassIndex from PClass. It was only needed by FArchive, and maps take care of the
problem just as well.
- Moved PClass into a larger type system (which is likely to change some/lots once I try and actually use it and have a better feel for what I need from it).
SVN r2281 (scripting)
This is compatibility optioned with COMPAT_STAIRINDEX. Also added a compatibility setting for
Eternal Doom MAP25 which relies on Doom's original broken behavior.
- added a few sanity checks for duplicate actor names in DECORATE. ZDoom will now print more warnings
and all crash cases should be properly handled but since this is still an error this will not work
properly in all circumstances. For example, if you have a duplicate name all classes that inherit
from the original definition will not survive a savegame if they reference a state belonging to that
class at the point of saving.
- Print 'tried to register class more than once' in red to highlight it.
- fixed: actors may not replace themselves.
SVN r2158 (trunk)
into the FastProjectile base class and removed the native MageWandMissile
class, using the generic functionality instead.
- Fixed: GetReplacement and GetReplacee always checked the skill definitions,
even if they weren't supposed to be used. It was also missing a range check
for 'gameskill'.
SVN r1894 (trunk)
- Derive PClass from dobject.cpp. This has one major ramification: Since the PClass
is not allocated until runtime, you cannot initialize any static/global data
structures with pointers to PClasses using RUNTIME_CLASS. Attempting to do so
will just initialize with a NULL pointer. Instead, you can initialize using
the address of the pointer returned by RUNTIME_CLASS and dereference that. By
the time you have an opportunity to dereference it, it will no longer be NULL.
- Sync CmakeLists.txt.
- Random fixes for problems GCC spotted.
SVN r1852 (scripting)
* info CCMD to print extended actor information (not fully implemented yet)
* summonmbf CCMD.
* Beta BFG code pointer (but not the related missiles yet.)
* PowerInvisibility enhancements.
* ScoreItem with one significant change: Added a score variable that can be
checked through ACS and DECORATE. The engine itself will do nothing with it.
* Nailgun option for A_Explode.
* A_PrintBold and A_Log.
* A_SetSpecial.
SVN r1819 (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)
summoning.
- Added Karate Chris's fix for Serpent Staff vampirism on teammates.
- Locks and teleporters now take precedence over one-sidedness for automap
coloring.
SVN r1317 (trunk)
which caused roundoff errors that made it less than 1/3 effective.
- Added support for "RRGGBB" strings to V_GetColor.
- Fixed: Desaturation maps for the TEXTURES lump were calculated incorrectly.
- Changed GetSpriteIndex to cache the last used sprite name so that the code
using this function doesn't have to do it itself.
- Moved some more code for the state parser into p_states.cpp.
- Fixed: TDeletingArray should not try to delete NULL pointers.
SVN r1312 (trunk)
parameters.
- All DECORATE parameters are passed as expressions now. This change allows
for compile time checks of all class names being used in DECORATE so many
incorrect definitions may output warnings now.
- Changed DECORATE sound and color parameters to use expressions.
- Changed: S_StopChannel now resets the actor's sound flags. The previous bug
made me think that delaying this until FMod calls the end of sound callback
may simply be too late.
SVN r1276 (trunk)
the NextState parameter is. The code did some rather unsafe checks with it
to determine its type.
- moved all state related code into a new file: p_states.cpp.
- merged all FindState functions. All the different variations are now inlined
and call the same function to do the real work.
SVN r1243 (trunk)
some changes to the MAPINFO parser which tried to access the texture manager
to check if the level name patches exist. That check had to be moved to
where the intermission screen is set up.
- Fixed: 'bloodcolor' ignored the first parameter value when given a list
of integers.
Please note that this creates an incompatibility between old and new
versions so if you want to create something that works with both 2.2.0
and current versions better use the string format version for the color
parameter!
- Rewrote the DECORATE property parser so that the parser is completely
separated from the property handlers. This should allow reuse of all
the handler code for a new format if Doomscript requires one.
- Fixed: PClass::InitializeActorInfo copied too many bytes if a subclass's
defaults were larger than the parent's.
- Moved A_ChangeFlag to thingdef_codeptr.cpp.
- Moved translation related code from thingdef_properties.cpp to r_translate.cpp
and rewrote the translation parser to use FScanner instead of strtol.
- replaced DECORATE's 'alpha default' by 'defaultalpha' for consistency.
Since this was never used outside zdoom.pk3 it's not critical.
- Removed support for game specific pickup messages because the only thing
this was ever used for - Raven's invulnerability item - has already been
split up into a Heretic and Hexen version.
