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.

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)
contain enough music to fill the initial output buffers.
- Removed the read barrier around ADehackedPickup::RealPickup. If the real
pickup is picked up, it may very well destroy itself before the dehacked
wrapper's stubs that use it are called.
- Reverted revision 840. For a file we don't want end users to be touching,
making DEHSUPP plain text sends out mixed messages: "Don't mess with this.
Oh, by the way, it's plain text now to make it easier for you to edit."
Is there some reason other than a desire to do away with binary lumps to
make the distributed lump text?
- Added a new speakermode for Stereo + HRTF: "Headphones". This is the only
way to get the HRTF low pass filter effect now.
- Fixed: No more than one sector could make noise at once.
- Trying out sound without varying priorities again.
- Fixed: Need to use setSpeakerMix to let 2D sounds (aka streamed music) use
their full volume range.
SVN r842 (trunk)
the DEHSUPP compiler is gone now. Unlike XLATCC I'm using FScanner though.
A fully featured parser seems like overkill for this simple text file.
SVN r840 (trunk)
from a savegame.
- Fixed: side_t::StopInterpolation called setinterpolation instead of
stopinterpolation. Also moved the clearinterpolation call in
P_SetupLevel after the P_FreeLevelData to make absolutely sure that
nothing in there can leave an interpolator behind by accident.
- Applied Linux fixes by Jim.
SBARINFO update by Blzut3:
- Fixed: the playerclass command needed a null pointer check to prevent
crashing on respawn.
- Fixed: Mug Shot states were not reset on respawn.
- Removed keepoffsets flag since apparently it was keeping the offsets by
default. The means that the only thing not affected by the offsets was using
nullimage as a background. Since I wasn't able to get a result I liked I'm
going to say that if you want a black background with high res positioning
you will have to create your own bar image. Maybe I'll fix it some other
time.
- Added: monospacefonts variable which allows for all of the fonts to be
monospaced by a specified character (from their fontset of corse).
- Made SBarInfo recognize the bar names for the Strife popups but they don't
do anything beyond that. The names are: popuplog, popupkeys, and popupstatus.
- Started converting the drawing routine to be more flexable towards high
resolution status bars. (Only did one call so far.)
SVN r835 (trunk)
- Added a cheap pitch shifting for underwater environments that should be fairly
close to Duke's. It sounds okay for some sounds, but others like the BFG, where
the timing of the sound actually matters, don't sound good. I shall have to
replace it with a real pitch shifter DSP unit.
SVN r819 (trunk)
spc_amp from a x.4 fixed point number to a normal float.
- Switched SPC playback from the external SNESAPU.DLL to Blargg's LGPL
snes_spc library. I've compiled it with the fast DSP rather than the
highly accurate one, since I didn't notice a meaningful difference between
the two in my limited testing. In short: SPC playback is now built in to
ZDoom. You don't need to download anything extra to make it work, and it
also works on Linux as well as Windows (though building with Linux is
currently untested).
- Fixed: Stereo separation was calculated very wrongly when in 2D sound mode.
SVN r794 (trunk)
for FMOD Ex while at the same time removing support for FMOD 3. Be sure to update
your SDKs. GCC users, be sure to do a "make cleandep && make clean" before
building, or you will likely get inexplicable errors.
- Fixed: If you wanted to make cleandep with MinGW, you had to specifically
specify Makefile.mingw as the makefile to use.
- Added a normalizer to the OPL synth. It helped bring up the volume a little,
but not nearly as much as I would have liked.
- Removed MIDI Mapper references. It doesn't work with the stream API, and
it doesn't really exist on NT kernels, either.
- Reworked music volume: Except for MIDI, all music volume is controlled
through GSnd and not at the individual song level.
- Removed the mididevice global variable.
- Removed snd_midivolume. Now that all music uses a linear volume scale,
there's no need for two separate music volume controls.
- Increased snd_samplerate default up to 48000.
- Added snd_format, defaulting to "PCM-16".
- Added snd_speakermode, defaulting to "Auto".
- Replaced snd_fpu with snd_resampler, defaulting to "Linear".
- Bumped the snd_channels default up from a pitiful 12 to 32.
- Changed snd_3d default to true. The new cvar snd_hw3d determines if
hardware 3D support is used and default to false.
- Removed the libFLAC source, since FMOD Ex has native FLAC support.
- Removed the altsound code, since it was terribly gimped in comparison to
the FMOD code. It's original purpose was to have been as a springboard for
writing a non-FMOD sound system for Unix-y systems, but that never
happened.
- Finished preliminary FMOD Ex support.
SVN r789 (trunk)
installation, not the bundled copies which might not match what is installed.
- Upgraded bundled FLAC from version 1.1.2 to version 1.2.1.
SVN r575 (trunk)
- Fixed: DECORATE color translations with explicit colors didn't work because the
code treated byte values as fixed point.
- Fixed: LEVEL_NOALLIES must clear MF_FRIENDLY off any spawned actor except players.
Otherwise it doesn't work properly.
- Fixed: Entering a backslash in the player's name box caused a crash because
the code analyzing the string was missing a NULL pointer check.
- Fixed: Thing_Hate and Teleport_ZombieChanger unconditionally made state jumps,
even for dead monsters.
- Fixed: The palette flash for item pickup was not reset upon a player's death.
- Fixed: P_DamageMobj tried to get damage multiplier information from the
damage inflictor, not the attacker.
- Fixed: PowerTimeFreezer::DoEffect did not call its superclass method.
- fixed: When morphed monsters died they tried to set MF3_STAYMORPHED for the
attacker, not themselves. This caused a crash when they were killed by a crusher.
SVN r539 (trunk)
const char * with a string inside its buffer, it released the buffer
before copying the string.
- Added a new FString constructor that creates the string from a lump.
- Fixed: G_DoReborn() calls G_InitNew() with mapname set to level.mapname.
G_InitNew() then copies it onto level.mapname, which is undefined
behavior (although it does work as we want it to).
- Modified FMemLump to store its data using FString. That class provides
a convenient method of storing reference counted data, so now FMemLump
doesn't need to muck about sneakily using const_casts and possibly
tricking its users into thinking that an old one is still valid after
being assigned to a new one.
- Fixed: The IMGZ, PNG, PCX, and JPEG loaders assumed the files were
large enough for their headers without actually checking.
SVN r463 (trunk)
The lump is open anyway at that time so deferring this action until the information
is needed doesn't give any speed improvements. Now GetDimensions and all its
associated overhead is gone.
- Added support for TGA textures. It can handle all of the common variations
of this format.
- Changed: GI_PAGESARERAW is no longer checked. It wasn't really necessary before
because the chance of texture misidentification is absolutely minimal.
But raw pages are now restricted to textures of type TEX_MiscPatch only.
- Changed the automap parchment to use a regular texture. The previous
FAutomapTexture is only used as a last resort fallback now. If the code
finds a recognizable graphic it will create a proper texture for it now.
- Fixed: Flats were only auto-scaled when in Doom flat format.
- Fixed: FMultiPatchTexture::CheckForHacks blindly assumed that all patches
were FPstchTextures. Since the texture code does not have any type information
I added a new flag bIsPatch for this purpose.
- Moved all texture classes into their own source files and created a new
subdirectory 'textures' for that.
- Cleaned up the texture management code and added some stricter checks for
the validity of Doom patches. The old code liked to crash when being passed
some non-graphic data.
SVN r300 (trunk)
down version of the library with the ZDoom source. (It actually uses less
space than zlib now.) Unix users probably ought to use the system-supplied
libjpeg instead. I modified Makefile.linux to hopefully do that. I'm sure
Jim or someone will correct me if it doesn't actually work.
SVN r293 (trunk)
while and killing centaurs with the flechette.
- Fixed: Moving to an old level in a hub caused the old player's inventory to
spawn owned by the current player (but still hanging off the old player), so
the game would hang when trying to delete it.
- Modified re2c so that it doesn't add a date to the file it generates. Thus,
if it regenerates a file during a full rebuild, SVN won't see it as a change.
Also updated it to 0.10.5.
- Fixed: SC_GetString() did not properly terminate sc_String when the last
token in the file had no white space after it. Since I could not actually
find the problem (it works fine in debug mode and I saw no logic errors),
I decided to take this opportunity to reimplement it using an re2c-generated
scanner. Now it's 1.6x faster than before and correctness is easier to
verify.
- Fixed: FMODSoundRenderer::Shutdown() also needs to reset NumChannels.
- Added back the Manifest to zdoom.rc for non-VC8 Windows compilers.
- Fixed MinGW compilation again. Now it uses the same method as Makefile.linux
to find all the source files so that it doesn't need to be manually updated
each time source files are added or removed.
- Added the SVN revision number to the version string. A new tool is used to
obtain this information from the svnversion command and write it into a
header file. If you don't have the svn command line tools installed or didn't
check it out from the repository, you can still build. I added some rules for
this to Makefile.linux, and I assume they work because they do for
Makefile.mingw.
- Fixed: MIDISong2 did not delete MusHeader in its destructor.
SVN r200 (trunk)
or not SSE2 is available at runtime. Since most of the time is spent in
ClassifyLine, using SSE2 in just this one function helps the most.
- Nodebuilding is a little faster if we inline PointOnSide.
- Changed FEventTree into a regular binary tree, since there just aren't enough
nodes inserted into it to make a red-black tree worthwhile.
- Added more checks at the start of ClassifyLine so that it has a better chance
of avoiding the more complicated checking, and it seems to have paid off with
a reasonably modest performance boost.
- Added a "vertex map" for ZDBSP's vertex selection. (Think BLOCKMAP for
vertices instead of lines.) On large maps, this can result in a very
significant speed up. (In one particular map, ZDBSP had previously
spent 40% of its time just scanning through all the vertices in the
map. Now the time it spends finding vertices is immeasurable.) On small maps,
this won't make much of a difference, because the number of vertices to search
was so small to begin with.
SVN r173 (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.
SVN r93 (trunk)
- Fixed: Strife's ending check included destroying the computer - an event
that happens before the branch in the story.
- Fixed: The overloaded FRandom::Random2 function with mask parameter didn't
use its parameter.
- Added Jim's latest makefile.linux
SVN r60 (trunk)
partially because the background patch has to be drawn always to
overwrite the old display.
- Fixed: Giving a health item to a non-player caused a crash.
- Added a compatibility option to limit deh.MaxHealth to the health bonus.
Originally this value wasn't used for health packs. Doing this was a bug
in Boom but since there's quite a few maps out there which require
Boom's altered behavior it has to be compatibility optioned.
- Fixed: The health bonus's max health must be defined by deh.MaxHealth,
not deh.MaxSoulsphere. To achieve this deh.MaxHealth's handling had to
be altered because it has to default to 100.
- Fixed: ZDBSP created incorrect side references with compressed sidedefs
and both sidedefs of a linedef being the same. This only affects the
external tool because the internal node builder is run after uncompressing
the sidedefs.
- Added Jim's latest makefile.linux.
- Added a consistency check to the PNAMES loader because one crash log
indicated that it crashed due to a corrupt PNAMES lump.
- Brought back the sector based sound target handling as a compatibility
option. This radical change just broke far too many maps that depend
on the original behavior. Strife's special AI functions are excluded
though because they work better with the new method.
SVN r56 (trunk)
- Changed: Decal scales now use full precision fixed point numbers.
- Changed: Keeping impact decals in their own statlist is enough to keep track
of them for when one needs to be destroyed. There's no need to maintain a
separate list for them.
- Fixed: Decal actors did not spread their decals across neighboring walls.
- Fixed: Decal groups did not initialize their IDs and could not be reliably
used with the decal actor.
- Fixed: Decals on moving polyobjects were not interpolated. R_RenderDecal()
now uses the decal's LeftDistance to calculate its visible location, so it
always stays in sync with the wall's vertices. This also lets me dump some
code from the polyobjects that maintained the decals' (x, y) coordinates.
Also, the decals' x and y information is redundant and can be removed.
Doing this revealed a bug with slider decals and horizontal sliding:
That is, it didn't work at all. I have opted to simply remove the horizontal
sliding support so that I don't have to worry about what happens when a
decal slides across the edge of a wall.
- Fixed: DBaseDecal::LeftDistance was calculated as a 30.2 fixed point number.
It should be 2.30 fixed point.
