to specific damage types.
- Changed Dehacked parser to use the DECORATE symbol tables for code pointers
instead of creating its own ones.
- Removed the HandleNoSector hack and changed A_Look so that it uses the sector's
sound target for actors with MF_NOSECTOR regardless of compatibility settings.
- Moved initialization of weapon slots after the actor initialization.
With default weapons exported to DECORATE it can't be done earlier.
- Converted Doom weapons to DECORATE.
- Changed backpack definition so that Doom's backpack is no longer the base
class that implements its functionality. Now there is an abstract base class
all backpack-like items derive from. Also moved the actual definition of Doom's
backpack to DECORATE.
SVN r519 (trunk)
3 new code pointers without general use it was necessary to handle
GiveDefaultInventory consistently for all players without the need to
subclass this function.
- Added a Player.RunHealth property to expose the StrifePlayer's behavior of
not being able to run when its health is below 10.
- Changed APlayerPawn::GiveDefaultInventory so that it always adds a HexenArmor
and a BasicArmor item to the inventory. If these items are not the first ones
added to the inventory anything else that might absorb damage is not guaranteed
to work consistently because their function depends on the order in the inventory.
- Changed handling of APowerup's DoEffect so that it is called from the owner's
Tick function, not the item's. This is so that the order of execution is
determined by the order in the inventory. When done in the item's Tick function
order depends on the global thinker table which can cause problems with the
order in which conflicting powerups apply their effect. Now it is guaranteed
that the item that was added to the inventory first applies its effect last.
- Fixed: Added checks for Speed==0 to A_Tracer and A_Tracer2 because this could
cause a divide by zero.
- Fixed: P_MoveThing must also set the moved actor's previous position to
prevent interpolation of the move.
- Fixed: APowerInvisibility and its subclasses need to constantly update
the owner's translucency information in case of interference between different
subclasses. Also changed Hexen's Cleric's invulnerability mode to disable
the translucency effect if an invisibility powerup is active.
SVN r448 (trunk)
- Renamed the new armor properties to use the same names as Skulltag to avoid
confusion. They still don't need a separate base class as in Skulltag though.
- Added Skulltag-type armor bonus that increases the max amount that can be given
by other armor items.
- Separated all armor related code from a_pickups.cpp into a_armor.cpp.
SVN r427 (trunk)
cycled through the entire list of actors.
- Reverted AActor::FindState to its R407 version because the change in R408
doesn't compile properly with VC++.
- Changed FIXMAPTHINGPOS further so that it also affects objects that are
not directly on a wall but closer than its radius.
- Changed FIXEDMAPTHINGPOS to move objects completely out of the wall and
adjusted the radii of all affected objects to actually represent half
the sprite's width.
SVN r409 (trunk)
monsters
- Added velocity multiplicators to A_SpawnDebris.
- Changed: A_JumpIfNoAmmo should have no effect for CustomInventory items.
- Fixed: DECORATE jump commands must set the call state's result to 0
even when they have to return prematurely.
- Added obituaries for Strife's and Hexen's monsters.
- Converted Strife's Bishop to DECORATE.
- Added momx, momy and momz variables to the DECORATE expression evaluator.
SVN r404 (trunk)
- Made the Ettin's and Centaur's howling sound an actor property.
- Added A_CustomComboAttack function to finally have something that can
replace the old A_ComboAttack function.
- Added A_SpawnItemEx function that removes the problems with A_SpawnItem
and which also should make most of the A_CustomMissile abuse unnecessary.
- Added A_QueueCorpse to the list of DECORATE code pointers.
- Made the size of Hexen's corpse queue configurable by CVAR
(sv_corpsequeuesize.) Setting this CVAR to -1 will disable corpse
queuing completely so that even in Hexen all corpses will stay forever.
SVN r392 (trunk)
better emulate some calculation of internal code pointers.
- Added named RNG support to DECORATE's expression evaluator. Just use
random[name](min, max).
SVN r391 (trunk)
- Fixed: Voodoo dolls should not start ENTER scripts.
- Fixed: ActorDamage must not parse the enclosing parentheses as part of the
expression. That will produce an error if a flag set or clear command immediately
follows.
- Fixed: P_DamageMobj ignored MF2_NODMGTHRUST if the damaging object had no
owner.
- Added a 'font' parameter to A_Print.
- Changed A_CustomMeleeAttack to take one damage parameter only. Since expressions
can be used this value is not used as a factor for a random value but as
a direct damage value instead.
- Fixed: AActor::SetState must check whether a called action function resulted
in the actor's destruction. A_Jump constructs to a 0-length terminating
state will hang if this isn't checked.
SVN r329 (trunk)
- Added a PickupMessage property to the internal actor parser, replaced
most of the virtual PickupMessages with it and placed the code that
reads the metadata into AInventory::PickupMessage. Now the
PickupMessage method is truly virtual and I can do:
Added a Health.LowMessage property to define double message items like
Doom's medikit in DECORATE.
- Since defining Mana3 as an ammo type and then overriding the TryPickup
method means that this item defeats all ammo checks in the game it might
as well be defined as a CustomInventory item. At least this fixes the
amount given in easy and very hard skills.
- Converted all ammo items to DECORATE.
- Changed internal property setting of ammo types and sister weapons
to use fuglyname as for DECORATE definitions. This allows to export
the ammo definitions into DECORATE definitions without doing it for
the weapons themselves.
- Replaced obituary methods with actor properties.
- Fixed: The secret map check didn't work for maps inside Zips.
SVN r196 (trunk)
message. When trying to puke a script outside a map it crashed.
- Fixed: The random number generator for large numbers must mask out the
sign bit before performing a modulo.
- Now that the conversation states are pointers there is no need to make
AActor::ConversationAnimation virtual. No class overrides this method
anymore.
- Replaced AMacil1::TakeSpecialDamage with MF5_NODAMAGE.
- Fixed: AMacil2::TakeSpecialDamage and AOracle::TakeSpecialDamage didn't
check whether inflictor was NULL and crashed when used with 'kill monsters'.
- Fixed: Some Strife decorations didn't loop their animation
SVN r113 (trunk)
- Added string replacement option to obituary strings.
- Changed lock and pickup message handling so that it is either a real
string or a LANGUAGE identifier. The only reason I did the mixed format
in the first place were Hexen's lock messages but they have been
replaced by unique strings in the mean time so the feature isn't needed
any more.
- Added a flags parameter to TranslucentLine.
- Extended the second arg of Line_SetIdentification to set not only
ML_ZONEBOUNDARY but all 8 bits of the third byte in the flag word.
This allows a relatively simple means of setting all the new flags
directly.
- Moved ML_ZONEBOUNDARY to doomdata.h so that it is in the same place as the
other line flags.
- Fixed: Strife's teleport swirl didn't loop its animation.
- Fixed: Strife's rat is not supposed to be shootable.
SVN r110 (trunk)
string. With strings being passed as names this is unsafe.
- Removed unused parameter types from the function parameter parser for
DECORATE.
- Changed: All actor name parameters in DECORATE are now passed as
FNames, not as strings.
- Fixed: The MAPINFO parser stored the RedirectType as a type pointer.
But at this point DECORATE hasn't been read yet so this was limited to
the internal classes.
- Fixed: TXT_NEED_IDCARD wasn't terminated with a ';'.
- Fixed: Strife's DeadRebel was missing its DoomEdNum.
- With names as type identifiers it is no longer necessary to remap
the monster types to internal constants in A_BossDeath.
- Fixed: A_BossDeath got the string from a name - just to get a name from
the string. Using the name directly is sufficient.
SVN r103 (trunk)
- Converted a_zombie.cpp and most of a_strifestuff.cpp to DECORATE.
- Converted a_strifekeys.cpp to DECORATE and moved the pickup messages to the
string table.
- Removed the WIF_HITS_GHOSTS weapon flag and replaced it with MF2_THRUGHOST.
There is no need to keep two flags around with virtually the same meaning.
- Changed the ShadowArmor to use the VISIBILITYPULSE flag to change its translucency.
It looks much better now than the cheap code pointer based blinking it used before.
- Converted most of a_strifeitems.cpp to DECORATE and moved the pickup messages
to the string table.
- Converted a_strifearmor.cpp to DECORATE and moved the pickup messages to the
string table.
- Moved the messages for killing spectres to the string table.
- Converted the quest items to DECORATE. Also changed A_GiveQuestItem to get
the messages it prints from the string table instead of the quest item's tag
string.
May 5, 2006 (Changes by Graf Zahl)
- Removed the hopelessly outdated thingdef_doc.txt file from the repository.
- Converted a_peasant.cpp and a_ratbuddy.cpp to DECORATE.
- Fixed: C_DoKey didn't treat an empty string as 'no binding' when checking for
valid double bindings.
- Converted a_merchants.cpp to DECORATE.
- Added MF5_NODAMAGE flag to generalize the behavior of Strife's merchants which
can be shot but take no damage from getting hurt.
- Converted a_beggars.cpp to DECORATE.
- Added an Inventory.GiveQuest property. This makes it possible to define all of
Strife's original items that also give a quest item in DECORATE but it is also
useful to define items like the ones in Day of the Acolyte without ugly workarounds.
- Added a Tag property and Strife teaser conversation IDs to DECORATE so now it is
possible to define many of Strife's items.
- Added a FastSpeed property to DECORATE so that projectiles can finally be
assigned a higher speed for fast mode.
- Added a ACS_LockedExecuteDoor special. It is basically the same as the existing
ACS_LockedExecute but it uses the 'door' message instead of 'remote'. This
cannot be integrated into ACS_LockedExecute because all its arguments are already
in use.
- Added a fully customizable A_CustomMeleeAttack function for DECORATE.
