With localization for non-Latin languages on the support list the multibyte API doesn't cut it anymore. It neither can handle system text output outside the local code page nor can an ANSI window receive text input outside its own code page.
Similar problems exist for file names. With the multibyte API it is impossible to handle any file containing characters outside the active local code page.
So as of now, everything that may pass along some Unicode text will use the Unicode API with some text conversion functions. The only places where calls to the multibyte API were left are those where known string literals are passed or where the information is not used for anything but comparing it to other return values from the same API.
This setup has been a constant source of problems so now I reviewed all uses of FName to make sure that everything that needs to be initialized is done manually.
This also merges the player_t constructor into the class definition as default values.
- added a few access functions for FActorInfo variables.
With PClassActor now empty the class descriptors can finally be converted back to static data outside the class hierarchy, like they were before the scripting merge, and untangle the game data from VM internals.
Note that the Strife status bar does not draw the health bars yet. I tried to replace the hacky custom texture with a single fill operation but had to find out that all the coordinate mangling for the status bar is being done deep in the video code. This needs to be fixed before this can be made to work.
Currently this is not usable in mods because they cannot initialize custom status bars yet.
There's simply never enough of them and they are used far too infrequently to justify the hassle of tagging along two TMaps per class.
For what they provide, single global lists that handle all player classes at once are fully sufficient.
After testing with a savegame on ZDCMP2 which is probably the largest map in existence, timing both methods resulted in a speed difference of less than 40 ms (70 vs 110 ms for reading all sectory, linedefs, sidedefs and objects).
This compares to an overall restoration time, including reloading the level, precaching all textures and setting everything up, of approx. 1.2 s, meaning an increase of 3% of the entire reloading time.
That's simply not worth all the negative side effects that may happen with a method that highly depends on proper code construction.
On the other hand, using random access means that a savegame version change is only needed now when the semantics of a field change, but not if some get added or deleted.
- do not I_Error out in the serializer unless caused by a programming error.
It is better to let the serializer finish, collect all the errors and I_Error out when the game is known to be in a stable enough state to allow unwinding.
- For most cvars, this is equivalent to calling GetGenericRep() to get a
string.
- For float cvars, it uses %g instead of %H, because %H is generally more
information than is needed.
The only reason this even existed was that ZDoom's original VC projects used __fastcall. The CMake generated project do not, they stick to __cdecl.
Since no performance gain can be seen by using __fastcall the best course of action is to just remove all traces of it from the source and forget that it ever existed.
Converting a floating point value that is out of range for a signed integer will result in 0x80000000 with SSE math, which is used exclusively for this purpose on modern Visual C++ compilers, so this cannot be used anywhere.
On ARM there's problems with float to unsigned int conversions.
xs_Float does not depend on these
- replace all implicit conversions from FString to const char * in the header files (so that it can be test compiled with the implicit type conversion turned off without throwing thousands of identical errors.)
- having a value of 5000 as the default for autoaim makes no sense, since this is an angle value that will always be clamped to [0..35]. So now 35 is both the default and the maximum.

- Added register reuse to VMFunctionBuilder for FxPick's code emitter.
- Note to self: Need to reimplement IsPointerEqual and CheckClass, which
were added to thingdef_function.cpp over the past year, as this file no
longer exists in this branch.
- Fixed: Loading players from savegames set the skin before their current
class was retrieved, so they could not validate their skins with the
correct class.
- This fixes crashes when quitting multiplayer games because the default
byte-for-byte copy caused PredictionPlayerBackup and the console player
to point to the exact same userinfo data and to both try and free it
when they are deleted.
* int GetUserCVar(int playernum, "cvarname")
* bool SetCVar("cvarname", newvalue)
* bool SetUserCVar(int playernum, "cvarname", newvalue)
GetUserCVar is analogous to GetCVar, except it returns the value of a user cvar for a
specific player. (All user cvars can be examined using the playerinfo console command.)
SetCVar sets a cvar to a new value. If the cvar is floating point, then newvalue is treated
as a fixed point number, otherwise it's treated as an integer. SetUserCVar is the same, but
for a specific player's user cvar.
SetCVar and SetUserCVar can only change cvars created via CVARINFO. They cannot alter built-in cvars.
If you use GetCVar or SetCVar with a user cvar, they will act on the copy of the user cvar
for the player who activated the script. e.g.
GetCVar("gender")
is the same as
GetUserCVar(PlayerNumber(), "gender")
If you get the value of a floating point cvar, it will be returned as a fixed point number.
Otherwise, it will be returned as an integer.

- Separated CVAR_MODARCHIVE into CVAR_MOD|CVAR_ARCHIVE so that mod-defined cvars can still be
identified when they aren't meant to be archived.
SVN r4281 (trunk)
of the form:
<scope> [noarchive] <type> <name> [= <defaultvalue>];
Where <scope> is one of:
* server: This cvar is shared by all players, and in network games, only select players can
change it.
* user: Each player has their own copy of this cvar, which they can change independently.
To prevent the cvar from being written to the config file, add noarchive to its definition.
<Type> is one of:
* int: An integral value. Defaults to 0.
* float: A value that can include a fraction. Defaults to 0.0.
* color: A color value. Default to black ("00 00 00").
* bool: A boolean value that can hold either true or false. Defaults to false.
* string: A string value. It's not too useful for mods but is included for completeness. Defaults to "".
<Name> is the cvar's name and must begin with a letter and may only include alphanumeric
characters and the underscore character.
If you wish a non-standard default add an = character after the cvar's name followed by the
default value you want to use. Example:
server int mymod_coolness = 10;
- Fixed: FStringCVar::SetGenericRepDefault() did not make a copy of the input string.
