21:25 Revision 3331c2ae (github): More robust pos/mom/angle fixes

To ensure that the fix is applied to the correct mobj, the
fix now includes the clmobj ID for which the fix is intend... skyjake

17:55 Revision 86441e7e (github): Client: Spawn local player mobjs far away

skyjake

14:14 Revision 955d399c (github): Client: Fixed showing of chat messages in HUD

skyjake

13:53 Revision 7aec8240 (github): Client: Fixed spawning of other players

The client was spawning only the console player in the correct manner. skyjake

04:28 Revision 1e010e2b (github): Allow for empty node names in PathDirectory, we need to be able to represent root on unix (etc).

danij

02:36 Revision ecd13876 (github): Whitespace changes.

20:04 Revision d1ec31a0 (github): Refactored users of M_ReadFile to use M_ReadFileCLib instead.

Fixed jDoom: Memory leak in SV_v19_LoadGame - if the saved game is determined to be from an unsupported version this ... danij

18:53 Revision 60165cf2 (github): Do not use the lump cache in dpdehreader's ReadDehackedLump - we are currently copying the lump into a local buffer anyway (for the sake of adding a terminating zero, yuck). Instead simply determine the size of the lump and read it directly into our local buffer.

danij

17:56 Revision 6af1cd58 (github): Minor cleanup.

danij

17:56 Revision 8d61b336 (github): Removed W_CRCNumber from the public API as it is of no use to plugins. The rest of the API allows access to our internal file system using an abstract interface which hides the detail of whether resources have been loaded from Zip, the real local file system or indeed the WAD lump directory. Simply taking a CRC of the IWAD's lump directory is of no benefit for writing to save games (the only possible reason I can see why this was made public).

Removed W_OpenAuxiliary from the public API. We abstract access to WAD lumps so the game should never need to call it... danij

16:25 Revision 4d436513 (github): Fixed hires texture loading. Each ResourceNamespace still require's it's own FileDirectory (which is cleared every time the namespace is rebuilt) as there is no existing logic to update namespaces when a new set of files are added.

Todo: It should now be possible to determine which resource namespace(s) need updating after each file addition/remov... danij

15:27 Revision 0fe9641e (github): Removed superfluous '0' character in mapdata.hs

danij

06:42 Revision e52eb3b4 (github): Make use of the "raw" texture hash in FinaleInterpreter

danij

06:41 Revision 0f62d869 (github): Allow Material to inherit it's logical dimensions from the those of it's primary Texture are prepare time if they have not already been set.

When a Material's logical dimensions change - update all world surfaces currently using it (light decorations). danij

06:41 Revision b2c81026 (github): Represent the symbolic names in patchcompositetex_t, patchtex_t, rawtex_t and spritetex_t as ddstring_t

19:43 Revision b3a474dd (github): Client sends accurate position w/momentum

Previously the client was sending position coordinates
only as (short) integers, without the fractional part. This

19:17 Revision 4a59fa49 (github): Client: Fixed showing of HUD messages sent by server

The DDPF_LOCAL flag should not be relied upon. skyjake

19:16 Revision c62ce776 (github): jDoom: Fixed problem with key pickup notification

The message about key pickup was not shown. skyjake

17:58 Bug #960 (Closed): Doomsday crashes on loading saved games under 64-bit Linux

I'm unable to load saved games on 64-bit Linux. I was able to load saved games on 32-bit Linux. Another user has repo... audiodef

17:19 Revision 27484a24 (github): Client: Fixed HUD info updates

Keycards, ammo, etc. were not updated in the client's status bar. skyjake

16:46 Revision cf2e72eb (github): Client: Fixed client getting stuck

Server seems to think some valid coordinates are invalid.
The client was getting stuck near corners. skyjake

16:45 Revision d4fd1685 (github): Fixed intermission in multiplayer

Fire/Use-to-skip was not working. skyjake

14:17 Revision 70c2e5dd (github): Fixed map change notifications

The server was not sending any information about map changes
to the client. skyjake

14:02 Revision e0b4149f (github): Fixed PathDirectory's const iterate method was not functionally equivalent to the non-const version.

danij

13:59 Revision 571425f8 (github): Client: Fixed view filter (palette effect for pain etc.)

When the server sets the filter color, the client will not turn off the
view filter until the server says so. skyjake

13:11 Revision 8858fbdb (github): Couple of minor fixes to previous commit.

danij

12:55 Revision 1774d113 (github): Reimplemented the console variable directory using an instance of PathDirectory. In addition to improved average search times we are saving around 400k of system memory, which is a nice bonus.

12:36 Revision 6730c54c (github): Client: Fixed explosion of missiles

On clientside missiles will run through their explosion
sequence when they hit something, but the damage
is dealt onl... skyjake

12:35 Revision ff2c1155 (github): Server sends mobj type to clients

The mobj type (and mobjinfo) are important for the game logic
so it knows how to treat the mobjs. skyjake

skyjake

09:53 Revision b6fcf33c (github): More robust sharp ticking

Now it is impossible for the fractional frameTime to become desynchronized
with the fixed 35 Hz ticks, because it is ... skyjake

23:54 Revision b560e772 (github): Renamed ddccmd_t to ccmd_t

danij

23:51 Revision 50136dfb (github): Renamed ccmd_t to ccmdtemplate_t

danij

23:36 Revision 53752c83 (github): Refactored away the copy of ccmd_t (used during command registration) stored in ddcmd_t

danij

22:46 Revision 375d7668 (github): Renamed ddcvar_t to cvar_t

danij

22:43 Revision 3cbfb29a (github): Renamed cvar_t to cvartemplate_t

danij

22:29 Revision 51d76633 (github): Refactored Con_FindVariable into Con_GetVariableType and removed the cvar argument from the notification callback. This addresses an engine-internal object visibility issue in the public API.

Fixed ddcvar_t to cvar_t cast problem in the multiplayer player setup menu. danij

17:33 Revision 9acdb07e (github): Removed obsolete scripts

skyjake

17:28 Revision 0fe3d3f4 (github): Client: Fixed picking up of items (and player pos changes)

Instead of trying to handle object position changes on its own, the engine
now relies on the exported P_TryMove3f. Th... skyjake

17:17 Revision 975e2729 (github): Added P_TryMove3f

The function is in the common game plugin and is exported out from the game. skyjake

01:57 Revision 0687fa21 (github): Don't use Str_Copy in PathDirectory::internName as this makes a "full copy", allocating storage equal to the reserved size in the source string.

My first thought was to implement a "squeeze" method (in Qt parlance) but as ddstring_t allocates from the Zone and t... danij

00:38 Revision c7e02041 (github): Minor tweaks to PathDirectoryNode::ComposePath and function header comments in pathdirectory.h

danij

00:26 Revision 26683707 (github): When composing paths to branches in PathDirectoryNode_ComposePath always add a closing delimiter.

Cleanup. danij

2011-04-17

* Added node name interning mechanism.
* Store node name hashes alongside the interned name to avoid rehashing.
* Use... danij

11:27 Revision 565b0daf (github): Client: Allow spawning objects with MF_LOCAL

skyjake

2011-04-16

20:27 Revision 170d8191 (github): Refactored PathDirectory turning the path fragment delimiter into an insert-time/compose-time argument. It is now possible to populate the directory without needing to convert directory separators so long as they have been normalized prior to insertion (i.e., not mixed, for example "data/jdoom\models/"). PathDirectory itself can now be used to do the "conversion" at compose-time.

danij

19:43 Revision a8fcae31 (github): Unmanaged texture upload log message in _DEBUG builds now verbose >= 1

danij

19:16 Revision 6514c1aa (github): Fixed: F_AllResourcePaths resulted in bogus leaf nodes being added to FileDirectory for all subdirectories of the matched search path. For example, if the directory data\jdoom\models\ exists in the real filesystem and the search data\jdoom\* is executed, a new leaf was created for "models" despite it not being a leaf.

Optimize: PathDirectory once again no longer stores the path delimiter along with each non-leaf path fragment. danij

15:36 Revision d2e17668 (github): Further minor optimizations to PathDirectory

danij

04:01 Revision 6cc7007c (github): Fix typo in previous commit.

danij

03:50 Revision 35e24a98 (github): Refactored away fixed-length path buffer in PathDirectoryNode::MatchDirectory

Cleanup. danij

2011-04-15

20:59 Revision 8f47c3fa (github): Reimplemented FileDirectory, encapsulating an instance of PathDirectory.

danij

18:29 Revision 42aae911 (github): Client: Fixed tick smoothing (for the most part)

Removed the obsolete client-only player think. Now the client
uses the regular P_PlayerThink(). skyjake

skyjake

14:20 Revision cb60404f (github): Applied the path fragment hash optimization to PathDirectory.

Switched PathDirectory and FileDirectory to allocate all internally used storage (other than ddstring_t) from the rea... danij

13:04 Revision fc7ef442 (github): Optimize: Implemented a path fragment hashing scheme to FileDirectory in place of the simple linear search and significantly improving the average-case search time. This is now of the same time-complexity as the search algorithm used with material namespaces (hint, hint).

Todo: Apply the same optimization to PathDirectory danij

12:47 Revision 3daf1986 (github): CCmd "Load" should look for RC_PACKAGE resources and not attempt to guess (thus allowing WAD/PK3/ZIP resources to be found from a search string which doesn't specify a file extension).

danij

00:46 Revision 83768f32 (github): Reimplemented the material namespace namehash.

danij

2011-04-14

19:09 Revision 1e477958 (github): Client: Fixed issue with "ghost" MT_TROOPs

The client was spawning local MT_TROOPs that couldn't
be damaged. skyjake

On server-side the player controls were never checked
and the player brain was uninitialized (thus the forced

17:45 Revision 08d00044 (github): Fixed: Particle generator flags ptf_vflat, ptf_hflat and ptf_flat should be ignored for line and model type particles.

Replaced P_CheckPtcPlanes as it no longer necessary. We track changes to a surface's current material, so instead do ... danij

15:23 Revision 28b960ed (github): MSVC: Fixed pointer arithmetic in cl_mobj.c

skyjake

13:49 Revision 5d6e7cd5 (github): Split the material binding definition association links out of MaterialBind and into a new info struct named MaterialBindInfo. This extended info is now only attached to the binding upon successful preparation of the first derived variant of the associated Material (reducing storage overhead for unused Materials).

In an effort to ensure that mobj state is properly transmitted from
the server to the clients, moved the mobj flags a... skyjake

06:02 Revision 3c19bad2 (github): Visibility of TextureVariant can now be restricted to the Textures and Materials subsystems.

Todo: Materials should not need to know of them either - refactor API danij

03:16 Revision 5ce03664 (github): Relocated image analysis records out of TextureVariant and into Texture as these aren't really variable. If we do want per-variant values it would be trivial to transform the general case according to the variant's specification in an accessor.

Perform image analyses immediately after source image load and prior to variant construction/preparation. danij
