01:20 Revision 6d69d57b (github): It would help if I remove the Z_Free() calls after changing where the buffers for Con_BufferGetLines() are allocated...

00:39 Revision db4716c2 (github): Implemented a persistent scratch buffer for use by texture manipulation routines e.g. scaleLine() to improve performance.

danij

00:34 Revision b74a1c3e (github): Changed Con_BufferGetLines() to use a buffer provided by the caller. As they have better knowledge on when a buffer needs resizing they are better able to manage the memory more efficiently. Ensured Con_BufferGetLine() does not need to unnecessarily allocate memory.

23:07 Revision bf1bd6d9 (github): Added texture content flag TXCF_UPLOAD_ARG_NOSMARTFILTER. Currently only used with the busy mode screen grab (was taking upwards of 3.4 seconds at 1920x1200 with smart filtering enabled).

danij

22:35 Revision 4e0c2fd1 (github): Implemented temporary ccmd "setaxis" for tweaking the input device axis settings during development.

Don't write empty commands to the console command history buffer.
Fixed some compilation problems. danij

18:32 Revision 9a498d31 (github): Busy mode now takes a screen capture to use as a background for the busy mode (when engine up and running; not in the first startup). The performance of taking a screen shot and making it a texture is quite disappointing, though -- in the order of 400-500 ms.

Added some dark gradients to make console output and the progress bar visible on all backgrounds.
The screen capture... skyjake

18:29 Revision 5e9cce51 (github): Fixed texture parameters when using the Easy Upload flag.

18:28 Revision 4dcdf231 (github): Updated with file changes.

skyjake

18:10 Revision 56a686d2 (github): Added a note about the way lines are drawn in the automap. Lines must be grouped into as large a sequence of vertices as possible; the current implementation experiences significant FPS drops.

11:47 Revision 1ea8751c (github): Updated a few error messages.

10:08 Revision 399b4043 (github): Overloaded ccmds are now in and working.

Split the "help" ccmd into two to test this functionality. ccmd "help""s" moved to con_data.c
However, the implementa... danij

05:17 Revision 4529dbce (github): Removed the old game-side input device axis settings.

DD_Execute(f) should be declared with a const command string ptr.

03:49 Revision f6705b5c (github): Added ccmd flag CMDF_NO_DEDICATED. If an attempt is made to execute a ccmd attributed with this flag when running in dedicated mode; the attempt is blocked before execution.

Trawled the engine looking for all potentially sensitive ccmds and made safe. danij

03:00 Revision dfc4cb74 (github): Added a new tab to the Doomsday Control Panel to be used for setting game controls.

20:23 Revision d4d62332 (github): Use consistent line endings and encode in UTF-8 (why does VC2k5 change the format on occasion?).

03:51 Revision 99547e5e (github): Added x_event.h to jhexen.vcproj

danij

03:49 Revision 49e688aa (github): Updated WolfTC with the new auto-hiding HUD implemented for jDoom.

When changing the size of the statusbar automatically reshow the HUD if hidden, so the user can see the effect of the... danij

03:23 Revision c3293b46 (github): Updated WolfTC in line with the changes made to ticcmd_t. TODO: many of the controls (e.g. automap panning) are not currently implemented.

Plus numerous other minor tweaks. danij

02:39 Revision b148bac0 (github): Updated Doom64TC in line with the changes made to ticcmd_t. TODO: many of the controls (e.g. automap panning) are not currently implemented.

01:49 Revision 0d6c232e (github): Updated jHeretic in line with the changes made to ticcmd_t. TODO: many of the controls (e.g. artefact hot-keys) are not currently implemented.

Changed various game-side text drawing routines so that their string parameters are (const) where appropriate.

22:44 Revision b4ddaa8e (github): Renamed p_player.c to avoid confusion in Xcode.

danij

22:40 Revision 4cea97a0 (github): Merged in the engine-side input device axis handling from the old 1.8 experimental branch. Reworked the bindings mechanism to suit. This means that controls can be bound to either commands (including a different command for each state) and directly to a player control. Bindings are now grouped for each input device, then by the control type (key/button or axis) and then finally based on controlID (controlID is either a key/button code or a control axis index).

Added and abstraction for input event_ts to allow us to ensure future back-compatibility. Internally, Doomsday genera... danij

23:29 Revision a06d7151 (github): Starting implementing busy mode console output. Only a small number of centered lines in the bottom, to keep things clean.

skyjake

23:21 Revision 82986b63 (github): Added Brazilian Portuguese. There appears to be some character conversion issues going on at least on the Mac, needs further investigation.

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.

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.

2007-02-08

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.

skyjake

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

skyjake

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
