KEY:
$ - Should be done soon!
> - Something to do eventually...
? - Is this really necessary?
B - Bug!
ENGINE -
Drawing bugs:
Make all VESA buffer-modes work with multiple drawrooms per nextpage
Fix off-by-1 line on top of face sprites
Fix selector initialization bug in ves2.h
Make sure visiblity works on really high slopes
Fix precision and crashing for wallmost on high slopes - xcross?
Screen capture at correct page
Wall/Floor sprite sorting bugs
Drawing ideas:
Make auto-buffer mode turn off with setviewtotile?
Make lo-detail mode go directly to screen without extra blit somehow?
Replace getpalookup with buffer Use palookup option for completemirror or use setviewtotile for mirrors
Allow non 90<39> viewing ranges
Movement issues:
Pushmove for face sprites?
Make clipmove/getzrange move through parallaxing skies
Memory issues:
Allocate sectors and walls dynamically at loadboard
Speed issues:
Optimize rotatesprite for weapons, and status bar
Try fread/fwrite vs. read/write with buffer
Make hlineasm4 work backwards
Pre-cache solution - auto cache sprites somehow
Mergeing optimization (redo in QB)
Misc. issues:
Do joining in network games
Network - send null packets if no packets sent recently
Split engine into separate modules - drawing, movement, utility
EDITART -
Seems to corrupt tiles in the artfile after doing a palette grab
Animation settings don't span art files
$ Tile moving across different art files
$ Make script-making function - F12 every tile and update capfil.txt
$ Offer patch file option after resorting in editart when quitting
> Warn if tile being deleted is used in maps - offer to change.
> Allow comments to be associated with a tile.
> When saving .ART, save to temp, rename, and delete, (int 21h-5ah,56h,41h)
? Screen still goes blank in 'V' mode sometimes with multiple tile files.
B Why doesn't F12 do anything sometimes?
BUILD -
Goto sector/wall/sprite function
New walls being added in BUILD should NEVER be masked or blocking
2D map mode: section off areas to edit overlapping
! Undo
! Sector copy / paste auto-inserting for pasting inside sectors.
> The localtile variables get messed up with 'V' mode inserting/deleteing
> Make overlapping sectors not connect in weird ways
> Type tags in hex
> Print out global visibility in Build status bar
> Information screen (bitmap report, tag report)
> Fix warping in fine sector rotating
> Enter attributes with a menu
GAME -
> Programming example such as deleting sectors, and other BUILD functions
> Fix bugs with fake network player windows.
> Fix message typing (for multiplayer games) when screen is weird sizes
DOCUMENTATION -
> Make PROTOTYPES for functions in GAME.C in BUILD.H.
> Document all variables in BUILD.H
LOW PRIORITY -
> Use multiple palettes other than palette.dat (command line?)
> Fancy shading for torches, flashlights, explosions, etc.
> Real lighting
? Multiple stories - (Not just: the fate of the universe depends on you)
? Add POLYTEX/CAVE stuff - true looking up/down
? Coded sprites for guns and menus
