This was done mainly to reduce the amount of occurences of the word FTexture but it immediately helped detect two small and mostly harmless bugs that were found due to the stricter type checks.
* store the frame time in the current screen buffer from where all render code can access it.
* replace some uses of I_MSTime with I_FPSTime, because they should not use a per-frame timer. The only one left is the wipe code but even this doesn't look like it needs either a per-frame timer or a timer counting from the start of the playsim.
- consolidated the code to calculate a sprite's display angle for all 3 renderers.
As it turned out, they all differed in their feature support because they had always been updated independently by different people.
Since the true color software renderer also handles them there is no point keeping them on the GL side.
This also optimized how they are stored, because we no longer need to be aware of a base engine which doesn't have them.
Most of those which still rely on ZDoom's own definition should be gone, unfortunately the code in files that include Windows headers is a gigantic mess with DWORDs being longs there intead of ints, so this needs to be done with care. DWORD should only remain where the Windows type is actually wanted.
- 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.
This was done to clean up the license and to ensure that any commercial fork of the engine has to obey the far stricter requirements concerning source distribution. The old license was compatible with GPLv2 whereas combining GPLv2 and LGPLv3 force a license upgrade to GPLv3. The license of code that originates from ZDoomGL has not been changed.
# Conflicts:
# src/CMakeLists.txt
# src/p_setup.cpp
# src/r_defs.h
# src/version.h
This only updates to a compileable state. The new portals are not yet functional in the hardware renderer because they require some refactoring in the data management first.
After thinking about it for a day or so I believe it's the best option to remove all compatibility code because it's a major obstacle for a transition to a core profile.
