What changed in EDuke32, build by build

Previously, the C function clipmove() returned negative values when hit a wall (32768+wallnum) or sprite (49152+spritenum) because internally, these values were encoded into a *signed* 16-bit integer. This made no difference to C code using it, since it always proceeded by bit checks, but was inconsistent with documentation on CON 'clipmove' on the wiki. The following commands are affected too, since they use the value returned by clipmove(): 'clipmovenoslide', 'movesprite'. Also, the value of actor[].movflag ('htmovflag' from CON). Also, fix 'clipmove*' in LunaCON and add lunatic/test/checknearwall.con as an example of how to implement a being-close-to-a-wall checker as requested in http://forums.duke4.net/topic/7869-determining-closeness-to-a-wall/

This may happen if no title/end music is defined from CON. Thanks to Zaxtor for the bug report.

These will be bitwise-OR'd.

Also, rewrite the loops in Gv_Free() and Gv_Clear() in the plain fashion so that they are correct even if the number of gamearrays exceeds the number of gamevars.

Specifically, we must make sure that dasizeof <= LZWSIZE (or so) in c1d_{read,write}_compressed() (what the assertion in the last commit was about, and is now redundant). This fixes saving of e.g. large gamearrays with the C-CON build. Bump BYTEVERSION. An alternative for setting dasizeof to 1 would be to factor it and keep dividing as long as it's > LZWSIZE.

BUILD_LUNATIC.

We must not use Xrealloc(), since gamearrays are now allocated with Xaligned_alloc(). NOTE: I did not check all potential problematic cases, only those to get LNGA3 up and running.

Also prettify P_DisplaySpit().

For example, in CON_ERRPRINTF("invalid target sprite (%d) %d %d\n", iActor, vm.g_i, TrackerCast(vm.g_sp->picnum)); vm.g_i can be -1 and vm.g_sp can be NULL then. (Not anymore.) DONT_BUILD.

The additional space was there all the time, so it's not understandable why another array was necessary. CON: for 'music', error if volume number is outside [0 .. MAXVOLUMES+1], and in LunaCON, additionally warn if it's MAXVOLUMES+1 (0 is preferred for that).

The OSD command is invoked like "music E5L3" (case insensitively).

In C-CON's qsubstr, error if <start> is not in [0 .. MAXQUOTELEN-1] or <length> is negative.

- LunaCON: support for setting userdef[].m_volume_number, getting .last_level - bump con_lang.MAXEVENTS - fix compilation of astub.c

NOTE: Other negative values are reserved!

These ones: http://lunatic.eduke32.com/lunacon.html#_ambiguous_lexical_elements Seriously, defining a token kind by excluding certain characters (instead of allowing a given set) is really, really broken.

Previously, the check was for the hard-coded sound number. This made it impossible to change difficulty selection sounds via EVENT_SOUND.

This is exactly the same as the actor[].movflags member in the Lunatic build: http://lunatic.eduke32.com/lunatic.html#actor

For convenience, orientation gets bit 1 (translucency) set automatically. Again, test/screentext.con is updated to show off this functionality (the code there assumes that additive blending tables are loaded at blend numbers 101 -- 132). BUILD_LUNATIC.

The extended PALETTE.DAT format can now carry a trailing byte, called 'lognumalphatables'. If it is present, the engine assumes that alpha blending tables are loaded at blend indices 1 to 1<<lognumalphatables and handles rotatesprite's alpha and spriteext[].alpha accordingly. The ability to save this new byte is added to engine.lua:savePaletteDat() and the corresponding convenience functions in shadexfog.lua. Examples test/screentext.con and test/sprite_access.con are updated for demonstration purposes.

The overall situation is thus as follows: - in C and from Lua, that member is called 'fogpal' - In CON (both C-CON and LunaCON), it's 'fogpal' with 'alignto' being an alias; 'filler' wasn't available before, either. - In m32script, it's 'fogpal' or 'alignto' ('filler' is not available any more)
