71d1138376 - refactored the global lines array into a more VM friendly form, moved it to FLevelLocals and exported it to ZScript.
- disabled the Build map loader after finding out that it has been completely broken and nonfunctional for a long time. Since this has no real value it will probably removed entirely in an upcoming commit.

c02281a439 - refactored the global sectors array into a more VM friendly type and moved it into FLevelLocals. 2017-01-07 19:32:24 +01:00

1a16f664e4 - added a TStaticArray class that allows safe access to resizable static data (like the sectors, linedefs, etc.) for the VM.
- used this to replace the line list in Sector because that gets already used and implemented proper bounds checks for this type of array.

fbf8084999 - corrected the export signatures of several script exports to contain the correct classes, so that the fudging in FindFunction could be removed.
- fixed PARAM_ACTION_PROLOGUE to assign correct types to the implicit pointers. It gave the actual class to the wrong one, which until now did not matter because all functions were using 'Actor', regardless of actual class association.
- fixed the definition of IceChunk and removed some redundant code here. Since A_FreezeDeathChunks already calls SetState, which in turn calls the state's action function, there is no need to call it again explicitly.

3af9232fca - scriptified a_strifeitems.cpp and a_debris.cpp.
- Changed the glass shards so that they do not have to override FloorBounceMissile. It was the only place where this was virtually overridden and provided little usefulness.
- made 'out' variables work.
- fixed virtual call handling for HandlePickup.

9064a5b0ac - scriptified Strife's coins.
- added a String class to allow attaching methods to the builtin string type. This works by checking if the left side of the member accessor is a string and just replacing the tyoe in this one place, all the rest is automatic.

ebd2c27e0a - scriptified Hexen's Bloodscourge and Serpent.
- merged the FrontBlock searcher for the Bloodscourge into RoughMonsterSearch. This also fixes the bug that the searcher was not initialized properly for the MageBoss.

de6969997a - scriptified Hexen's flies.
A few notes:

 * this accesses the lines array in sector_t which effectively is a pointer to an array of pointers - a type the parser can not represent. The compiler has no problems with it, so for now it is defined internally.
 * array sizes were limited to 65536 entries because the 'bound' instruction only existed as an immediate version with no provisions for larger values. For the static map arrays 65536 is not sufficient so now there are alternative instructions for these cases.
 * despite the above, at the moment there is no proper bounds checking for arrays that have no fixed size. To do this, a lot more work is needed. The type system as-is is not prepared for such a scenario.

177aa6ec42 - converted half of ClericHoly. (Making a commit before starting on the more complex stuff.)
- added a 'constructor' for color values.

7385cd70c0 - scriptified the Minotaur.
Interesting tidbit: The damage calculation in P_MinotaurSlam had been incorrect for the Heretic version since the friendly Hexen Dark Servant was added, but nobody ever noticed in 14 years...

8dba322775 - scriptified Heretic's Skull Rod.
- Took the opportunity and fixed the logic for the Skull Rod's rain spawner. The old code which was part of the 3D floor submission was unable to work with portals at all. The new approach no longer tries to hide the dead projectile in the ceiling, it leaves it where it is and changes a few flags, so that its z-position can be used as reference to get the actual ceiling. This works for line portals, but for sector portals still requires some changes to sector_t::NextHighestCeilingAt to work, but at least this can be made to work unlike the old code.
- added names for the player-related translations to A_SetTranslation.
- fixed: Failure to resolve a function argument was checked for, too late.
- made the parameter for A_SetTranslation a name instead of a string, because it is more efficient. We do not need full strings here.

11ac0c622b - fixed: The BFG needs to get its default ammo usage from the DehInfo struct.
- fixed: State's fields need to be declared native.

3f5bf88d69 - scriptified Heretic's mace.
- fixed: FxAssignSelf did not the correct number of registers for vector operations.
- fixed a few asserts in vector2 instructions.
- turned the virtual AActor::HitFloor method into a flag MF7_SMASHABLE. The only use of this function was to kill Hexen's pottery when they hit the floor, and this looks like something that can be exposed to modders less clumsily.

099b9970ef - added proper definitions for all exported native fields.
- synthesize native fields for all declared flags, not just for AActor.

980c986305 - allow defining native fields through scripts. Internally this only requires exporting the address, but not the entire field.
- added new VARF_Transient flag so that the decision whether to serialize a field does not depend solely on its native status. It may actually make a lot of sense to use the auto-serializer for native fields, too, as this would eliminate a lot of maintenance code.
- defined (u)int8/16 as aliases to the byte and short types (Can't we not just get rid of this naming convention already...?)
- exporting the fields of Actor revealed a few name clashes between them and some global types, so Actor.Sector was renamed to CurSector and Actor.Inventory was renamed to Actor.Inv.

135cfcf016 - implemented State as an actual native struct, so that its fields can be accessed from scripts.
- refactored state bitfield members into a flag word because the address of a bitfield cannot be taken, making such variables inaccessible to scripts.
- actually use PNativeStruct for representing native structs defined in a script.

6cc00e79a6 - made all internal struct types NativeStructs so that all variables of their types are made references. 2016-11-21 19:20:27 +01:00

360436c201 - scriptified the scripted marines.
- fixed symbol name generation for native functions.
- moved PrintableName to VMFunction so that native functions also have this information.

f11f020b6c - allow functions in structs. This is needed for several internal data types like players, sectors, lines, etc.
- added a new type 'NativeStruct'. This will be used for types that cannot be instantiated, and is also needed to cleanly handle many internal types that only can exist as reference.

3ce699bf9b - implemented pass-by-reference arguments - so far only for memory based variables.
- changed Dehacked weapon function lookup to check the symbol table instead of directly referencing the VM functions. Once scriptified these pointers will no longer be available.
- removed all special ATAGs from the VM. While well intentioned any pointer tagged with them is basically unusable because it'd trigger asserts all over the place.
- scriptified A_Punch for testing pass-by-reference parameters and stack variables.

633da6e5d8 - scriptified two of the Acolyte's functions.
- added a DActorIterator class.
- fixed: It was not possible to have functions of the same name in two different classes because the name they were searched for was not qualified by the class. Changed so that the class name is included now, but to avoid renaming several hundreds of functions all at once, if the search fails, it will repeat with 'Actor' as class name.

This commit contains preparations for scriptifying Hexen's Dragon, but that doesn't work yet so it's not included.

7b7b66d8b7 - added a new variable flag that allows defining variables which can only be modified by internal script code but not by external mods. Currently this is used by the NoBlockmap and NoSector flags which need special handling for changing. 2016-11-08 11:12:56 +01:00

062574b726 - fixed damage handling in A_BetaSkullAttack. For unknown reasons this completely bypassed the normal damage function semantics and even multiplied that with a random value.
- made some tests about calling script code from native functions.

 * scriptified A_SkullAttack to have something to test
 * changed the A_SkullAttack call in A_PainShootSkull.
 * use a macro to declare the function pointer. Using local static variable init directly results in hideous code for the need of being thread-safe (which, even if the engine was made multithreaded is not needed here.)
 * Importsnt node here: Apparently passing an actor pointer to the VMValue constructor results in the void * version being called, not the DObject * version.

8ae7aae14a - do not delete duplicate PFields - they are better be destroyed and left to the GC.
- removed two duplicate entries to the flag table.

9563045305 - moved declaration of native fields into the respective class definitions.
This bypasses a declaration in the script in favor of a simpler implementation. In order to work it is always necessary to have an offset table to map the variables to, but doing it fully on the native side only requires adding the type to the declaration.

a45523fb63 - scriptified A_SpawnFly.
- added support for global variables to the code generator - not the compiler, though. For the handful of entries this is needed for it may just as well be done manually. So far FLevelLocals level is the only one being exported.
- fixed: The VM disassembler truncated 64 bit pointers to 15 digits because the output buffer was too small.
- resolve entire FxSequences instead of aborting on the first failed entry. This allows to output all errors at once.

88fd47247d - scriptified several trivial functions from a_action.cpp. 2016-11-01 16:32:47 +01:00
Christoph Oelckers
e620c9bd7d - scriptified parts of a_bossbrain.cpp. Some things cannot be done yet, the script code is there but commented out.
- exported thinker iterator and drop item chain to scripting. Unlike its native counterpart the script-side iterator is wrapped into a DObject to allow proper handling for memory management.
- fixed: The VMFunctionBuilder only distinguished between member and action functions but failed on static ones.
- fixed: FxAssign did not add all needed type casts. Except for purely numeric types it will now wrap the expression in an FxTypeCast. Numeric handling remains unchanged for both performance reasons and not altering semantics for DECORATE.
- exported all internal flags as variables to scripting. They still cannot be used in an actor definition.
- make ATAG_STATE the same as ATAG_GENERIC. Since state pointers exist as actual variables they can take both values which on occasion can trigger some asserts.
- gave PClass a bExported flag, so that scripts cannot see purely internal classes. Especially the types like PInt can cause problems.

Todo: we need readonly references to safely expose the actor defaults. Right now some badly behaving code could overwrite them.

f8ccda2dc8 - scriptified A_Mushroom to test something a bit more complex.
- fixed: FxMinusSign trashed local variables that were used with negation.
- fixed: FxConditional only handled ints and floats, but not pointers and strings.
- fixed: A 'no states in non-actors' error was triggered, even for classes without any states.

286f9510d4 - got rid of all default parameter redundancies.
- scriptified a few more functions.
2016-10-28 00:32:52 +02:00
Christoph Oelckers
948ef62fcd - use the function defaults from the script instead of explicitly setting them again in the code. This is a needless cause of potential errors and since the values are readily available now it's better to use them in the functions.
- fixed: ZCCCompiler did not process array access nodes.
- fixed: Function argument names were not placed in the destination list by the compiler.
- scriptified several trivial functions from p_actionfunctions.cpp.

Christoph Oelckers
66b1f36e56 - actually evaluate the default parameters and store them in the VMFunction.
- disabled the assert in PType::GetRegType. This assert blocks any use to check for types that are incompatible with function parameters.
- pass the default parameter constants to the native functions. At the moment this is not used yet.
- use the function defaults to complete argument lists to script functions.
- fixed all default values that got flagged by the expression evaluator as non-constant. Most were state labels and colors which were defaulted to "". The proper value is null for states and 0 for colors.
- also replaced all "" defaults for names with "none".

823c52aeb2 - scriptified the functions in a_possessed.cpp and added the needed exports and constants.
- fixed: Script functions did not receive the function name when being created.
- relaxed the asserts for PARAM_STATE, because the VM knows nothing about ATAG_STATE. Any state variable's content (e.g. Actor.SeeState) will receive ATAG_GENERIC, rather than ATAG_STATE.
- added a 'NeedResult' flag so that certain operations can create shorter code if the result of the expression is not needed. So far only used for postdecrement/increment statements on local variables (which is the most frequent case where this matters.)
- fixed postincrement and decrement for local variables. Due to the result preservation semantics it created faulty code.

142278a818 - fixed incomplete commit for bounce flags
- fixed flag clearing in new function.

ae728cc61a - made the count flags and NOBLOCKMAP and NOSECTOR read-only. These require special treatment to work which can only be done by a setter function. 2016-10-25 09:55:13 +02:00
Christoph Oelckers
f810b98167 - implement flag variables with the VM's sbit and lbit instructions.
- synthesize PField entries from the flag list for AActor. This intentionally excludes the bounce flags for now.
- allow deprecated flags that do not call the deprecated flag handler.
- disallow constructs like (a = b) = c by not allowing an address request on an assignment operation.
- restrict modify/assign on boolean variables to the bit operators. Everything else needs to promote the result to an integer to make sense so it should be disallowed.

808188ff18 - added handling for structs. When defined inside classes or other structs the double member access will be merged, so there is no performance hit by using structs to group data. 2016-10-24 13:18:13 +02:00
Christoph Oelckers
3f1673f34f - scriptified A_HeadAttack, A_CyberAttack and A_Hoof. 2016-10-24 00:50:28 +02:00
Christoph Oelckers
c2b37aeeea - fixed a conversion warning with the pointer-type AActor fields.
- added master and tracer to the list of exported variables.
- fixed: 'none' as class type must map to the real null pointer so that it won't get rejected by the stricter type checks.
- added handling for member function calls to zcc_compile.cpp.
- fixed: FxMemberFunctionCall may not delete the self expression if it gets passed on to the actual function call.
2016-10-22 19:43:53 +02:00
Christoph Oelckers
4b41e735f1 - added null pointer.
- fixed: FxMemberIdentifier checked for ClassPointers instead of object pointers to resolve the left hand side of the expression.
- allow comparison of pointers.

5bed0a2b39 - implemented class member access for variables. (Struct members and functions not done yet.) 2016-10-21 17:41:39 +02:00
Christoph Oelckers
b1a83bfd26 - started with cleanup and separation of DECORATE code.
* everything related to scripting is now placed in a subdirectory 'scripting', which itself is separated into DECORATE, ZSCRIPT, the VM and code generation.
 * a few items have been moved to different headers so that the DECORATE parser definitions can mostly be kept local. The only exception at the moment is the flags interface on which 3 source files depend.
