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.

- moved the AM line drawer into DCanvas as a virtual function. While testing
this code I discovered that the antialias precalculation was never used
except for the very first frame of AM drawing. However, since I couldn't
detect even a marginal performance improvement using this code on 2 computers
I just disabled it completely because it severely complicates a more generic
implementation. I also disabled am_ovtrans in the process because I couldn't
see any positive effects of using this cvar. All it does is adding some
ugly distortion to the lines it affects without any apparent benefits.
* Added fix by Karate Chris containing:
- Added a 'No team changing' DMFlag2 which prevents players from changing teams
unless they are not on a team.
- Added a 'No respawn' DMFlag2 which prevents a player from respawning after
they have died.
- Added a 'Keep frags gained' DMFlag2 which allows you to choose whether you
want to reset the frags of each player next level or not.
- Added a small visual enhancement to the cooperative scoreboard to show
if a player has died.
- Fixed: If the 'teamplay' console variable was set to 'true' in a cooperative
game, the scoreboard would show team play related items as opposed to
cooperative items.
- Fixed: The 'bot_observer' console variable should not work in network games.
- Fixed: Bots made intermission skip really fast.
SVN r634 (trunk)
- Fixed: ASkyViewpoint::Destroy was missing the super call.
- Added SnowKate709's A_LookEx update.
- Moved M_DrawPlayerBackdrop into DCanvas as a virtual function. Since this
directly accesses the frame buffer it must be overridable for renderers
that work differently.
SVN r632 (trunk)
passing renderer specific data to the function. Also added DTA_Font so
that the renderer can fetch font translations from the proper font.
DIM_MAP/ConShade had to be made a regular translation table to make it
work.
- Added Karate Chris's fix for scoreboard displaying team play related data
in non teamplay games.
- Fixed: The team selection menu didn't work.
- Fixed: UpdateTeam passed an FString to Printf.
SVN r623 (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)
crouching motion.
- Fixed: The keypress for nightmare mode verification appeared in the console
if the fullscreen console was open while using the menu.
- Added support for scaling down large console fonts in the customize
controls menu.
- Fixed: Joining a negative team was possible.

warnings. At first, I was going to try and clean them all up. Then I decided
that was a worthless cause and went about just acting on the ones that
might actually be helpful:
C4189 (local variable is initialized but not referenced)
C4702 (unreachable code)
C4512 (assignment operator could not be generated)
SVN r420 (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.

on the automap instead. If its first argument is zero, the map marker itself
appears on the automap, otherwise it is drawn on top of any actor with a TID
matching that argument. If the second argument is one, then the map marker
will only be appear if the player has previously seen the sector it is one.
You can use Thing_Activate and Thing_Deactivate on markers to turn them on
and off. And if you subclass MapMarker with DECORATE, you can easily make
your own custom markers.
- Fixed: Map markers could not be drawn partially off the map. They were
drawn either fully or not at all.
- Fixed: Map markers appeared in the wrong place on a rotated overlay map if
screenblocks < 10.
SVN r356 (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)
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.
