This stuff is now kept locally in the bot code so that it doesn't infest the rest of the engine.
And please don't read the new botsupp.txt file as some new means to configure bots! This was merely done to get this data out of the way.
The bots are still broken beyond repair and virtually unusable, even if proper data is provided for all weapons.
Since it forwards directly to FindState and has no script bindings there is no need to keep it, it'd only complicate the full scriptification of the weapon class if it stuck around.
For these fields maps have no advantage. Linearly searching a small array with up to 10 entries is nearly always faster than generating a hash for finding the entry in the map.
This reinstates the old FActorInfo as part of the meta data a class can have so that the class descriptor itself can be freed from any data not directly relevant for managing the class's type information.
1) When used in a hub, returning to a previous level in the hub deactivated the runes if they were a permanent powerup.
2) When picking up two different runes with the same effect, one rune wearing off removed the effect completely.
3) This entire system was done through an extremely hacky CheatFlags implementation. This was a gross hack, and it was no wonder it didn't always work properly.
Like the symbols and the VM functions this is data that is static from startup until shutdown and has no need to be subjected to garbage collection. All things combined this reduces the amount of GC-sensitive objects at startup from 9600 to 600.
Now all actors have the same metaclass and therefore it will always be the same size which will finally allow some needed changes to the type system which couldn't be done because it was occasionally necessary to replace tentatively created classes due to size mismatches.
The goal is to get rid of PClassPlayerPawn and PClassInventory so that the old assumption that all actor class descriptors have the same size can be restored
This is important to remove some code that seriously blocks optimization of the type table because that can only be done if types do not need to be replaced.
- improved the class pointer to string cast to print the actual type it describes and not the class pointer's own type.
- fixed: The 'is' operator created non-working code when checking the inheritance of a class pointer, it only worked for objects.
This was done to ensure it can be properly overridden in scripts without causing problems when called during engine shutdown for the type and symbol objects the VM needs to work and to have the scripted version always run first.
Since the scripted OnDestroy method never calls the native version - the native one is run after the scripted one - this can be simply skipped over during shutdown.
- 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.
- added call wrappers and script hooks for all relevant virtuals in AInventory.
- made GetSpeedFactor and GetNoTeleportFreeze entirely scripted because they are too trivial - also do them iteratively, just like HandlePickup, because it's just a better way to do this stuff.
It's about time this stuff is getting cleaned up seriously. Both a_pickups.cpp and a_artifacts.cpp are so overstuffed that it has become a chore finding stuff in there.
