18:00 Revision 39209c27 (github): List what external files we are trying to play in verbose mode. After 16+ hours of smacking my head into a brick wall investigating why mp3 files do not play back I discovered the problem IS NOT in deng. The smpeg library used by sdl does not seem to like some of the id3 tags found in mp3 files. This may or may not be a regression in smpeg - in anycase, we should in future strip id3 tags from mp3 files on load - as mp3 files without tags play perfectly.

19:07 Revision 8b8140c5 (github): Interpret the mouse X/Y sensitivity the same in all games (this increases the range available in jHeretic/jHexen).

03:12 Revision 99319b03 (github): Added a zip path mapping for /Sfx (mapped to data/game/sfx) as somehow I missed that one when implementing them.

01:05 Revision 3a2f399e (github): Updated cbuffer_t with a new means to retrieve lines. Con_BufferGetLines() returns an array of ptrs from the given buffer. This was added to eliminate the problem of meshing due to the fact that multiple threads can write to a cbuffer_t, meaning that their contents could (and often do) change while one thread is rendering and another is writing.

This comes at a small price though; when drawing the console Con_BufferGetLines() is called each frame. Therefore, ea... danij

23:39 Revision 17d7daa0 (github): Draw a rotating progress indicator. loading1.png and loading2.png must be real files in the base dir. Engine startup updates the progress.

skyjake

23:13 Revision 6fb1387d (github): Minor adjustments to fix compilation errors.

danij

23:00 Revision c69b2230 (github): Implemented a mutex for cbuffer_t's to protect for multi-threaded use. Hopefully, I got this right.

danij

20:04 Revision 8c3b4a4b (github): Updated vcproj and vcbuild for Doomsday; new source files.

danij

17:58 Revision 53007fa3 (github): Added a TODO about protecting console buffers with mutexes.

17:52 Revision 0ab4160b (github): Moved userdir_ok to a better place.

17:41 Revision edcc2416 (github): Reordered engine startup so that it can happen in busy mode. GL is inited very early on with GL_EarlyInit(). However, fonts and texture management are not available until GL_Init() can be called, and that can only be done after resources are available. In other words, most of engine startup busy drawing must be done manually with fonts loaded from real files at known locations (if any text is shown), and manually loaded graphics for a progress visualization.

Con_Error() was modified to work better from the worker thread. skyjake

20:33 Revision e224f4ee (github): New busy mode. The main engine thread loops in a drawer, which updates the screen. In the background, the worker thread does the actual task of loading a map, loading textures, starting up the engine (not quite yet, though), connects to a server, etc.

Texture uploading was revised to make it possible for the worker thread to upload textures in a deferred mode, where ... skyjake

01:11 Revision 1aff7804 (github): Removed unneeded code added during debug.

01:01 Revision a1e76291 (github): LINE_NEIGHBOR macro is not needed now.

danij

00:54 Revision 0d437963 (github): Revised R_InitLineNeighbors() to make use of vertex lineowners. In doing so, the majority of the visual fakeradio glitches when playing maps utilizing DOOM renderer hacks have been resolved (the old code was sometimes finding the wrong line neighbors). Is also noticeably quicker as we don't have to traverse all the lines in a sector for each vertex for each side, for each neighbor.

Fixed a bug in R_RationalizeSectors() which could result in an infinite loop in complex maps (e.g. bludwrks.wad).

04:45 Revision 29583e44 (github): Reordered checks in R_AddSprites() so we only call R_GetSpriteInfo() for things which have a chance of clipping into the sky.

04:42 Revision c4708be4 (github): Updated style. Added my name to the author list (was missing).

04:41 Revision cc395cb2 (github): Don't allocate memory from the zone for the temporary patch LUT in R_InitTextures().

01:39 Revision 1c65ba79 (github): Changed subsector->firstline to a seg ptr. Renamed to subsector->firstseg and subsector->linecount to subsector->segcount to avoid confusion. Changed associated DMU constant names to suit.

Fixed a bug in the calculation of reverb properties. Segs were being indexed from zero instead of subsector->firstseg. danij
