What changed in EDuke32, build by build

For Lunatic, we'll want to get rid of the t_data --> script indirections, since the latter will be no more. Thus, all parameters are saved in t_data directly. For the normal build, there are no changes, only stylistic tweaks.

Those sprites are usually decorative, and certainly not enemies!

EVENT_SOUND: triggered upon playback of any sound, this allows the "hard coded" sounds to be altered in a context-aware fashion instead of having to resort to clunky hacks like replacing them with a blank sound effect. RETURN var iable is set to the sound effect # of the sound to be played, or -1 to cancel playback. EVENT_CHECKTOUCHDAMAGE: triggered in P_CheckTouchDamage() whenever the player collides with anything. Value of RET URN is set to the result provided by clipmove() and so can be decoded in the same way. Value of RETURN when the event is over can also be manipulated to control some of the hard coded damage effects. EVENT_CHECKFLOORDAMAGE: triggered in P_CheckFloorDamage(), RETURN is simply the picnum of the floor of the sector t he player is in. Can be used to cancel hard coded floor damage effects or to make other tiles exhibit the same eff ects Other misc fixes and cleanups, including a possible workaround for Duke Plus SECTOREFFECTOR light issues wherein all SE49 and SE50 that have a statnum of STAT_EFFECTOR are simply changed to STAT_LIGHT during the STAT_EFFECTOR loop now.

The remaining checks now "continue;" when an oob tilenum is found where an oob access would ensue else. Also, it's now checked for negative numbers (the message remains the same though).

The primary reason for doing this is that handing of moving sectors is significantly simplified. Because moving sectors usually don't move containing SEs/effector-statnum sprites, no special handing code is needed to move light SEs with them. Thus, this commit sets light SEs to a new statnum when they're spawned *from premap*, and a new G_Move*-like function (called G_DoPolymerLights) is added to process every sprite in that status list. This should "fix" light SEs moving together with a variety of moving sectors, but CON programs expecting the old behavior may break, therefore this commit is marked as experimental. Additionally, a problem with the old implementation is identified: it seems like the correct functioning is dependent upon the order of processing between the sector movement effector and the light SE, so this makes it another good reason for the change. (A third one is that all lights can be processed with a per- statnum loop, but CON coders should not do this until the change is considered final).

- Make MAXXDIM and MAXYDIM macros be 860 and 490, respectively. tueidj says max. screen size is 848x480, but there are oob access bugs in the classic renderer when running with the maximum possible resolution - don't allocate additional sector/wall storage for Mapster (saves ~16k) - Add ud.config.UseJoystick = 1 in config.c, but make it conditional on Wii - remove one comment I no longer believe true, add one TODO comment

This is so that it may be intercepted in the future. The only code that's not replaced by the function call is with the CON interface to g_player[].ps->pals via player[].pals X and .pals_time. Also, comment out one instance because it's overwritten by a succeeding one.

Besides being the compiler's job nowadays, they significantly inflate the size of the debugging builds.

Among other things, comment out very seldomly (or not at all) used sprite member macros: SV, ZV, RX, RY, CX, CY, CD, PL.

- in actors.c, make a static array const (the original patch removed the staticness) - remove one comment and change some compiled-out code - remove commented out pre-Makefile.common stuff Some changes were not adopted from tueidj's patch: - whitespace cleanup - ud.config.UseJoystick = 1 in config.c - Makefile.common, as mentioned before - proper read-in of g_numRealPalettes, because it was done with r2503

- BIGX -> BIGX_, likely again because of a name clash - make a loop in animlib.c iterate in forward direction

This part is a mixture of the original patch and my changes. It seems like tueidj had some trouble 1) getting OGG to work, which is why it's conditionally compiled out 2) struggling with endianness with the mixing routines? This may be also due to him missing to define two others BIGENDIAN macros (our code is in need of cleanup there). Note the change in jaudiolib/src/mix.c! Because I added my share to this part, I might have actually broken sound mixing on big-endian platforms.

On the Wii, V7 (i.e. original) map limits are used and the maximum screen size is 1600x1200.

- conditionally compiles out some code intended for the PC platforms - compat.c: get home directory routine, access() implementation - game.c: don't use ioctl(), lower cache1d size to 8 MiB, Wii-specific initialization code and application directory ("apps/eduke32")

This simply macro-defines various low-level networking functions.

For the Wii, SDL's mutex functionality is used. The implementation in the original patch was wrong though, so this part required non-trivial changes.

- the crosshair is displayed at the position read from the absolute pointing device - in the menus, use the hat input (that was mapped to mouse buttons in part 4) for navigation

- sdlayer.c: custom "get joystick button names" routine - jmact/mouse.c: packs some joystick events into the value returned by MOUSE_GetButtons(): bits used are 256, 512, 4096, 8192 - MOUSE_Init() --> Mouse_Init(), presumably because of a name clash? - comments out right-shift of joystick analog values by 5, maybe this fixes the scale problems with the joystick on the PC too?

This part adds support for an absolute pointing device.

Because gltexinvalidate*() could be called too often when setgamepalette is used while having a tint overlaid else. Pending thorough analysis/reworking of the 32-bit mode base palette handling / texture invalidation.

That is, have a second loop over all models run for each deleted tex and null the texname. This is ugly, sure, but it's better than calling glDeleteTextures on stale names.

- factor out a longish expression - whitespace, move a var down - remove unneeded casts (recall: "usual arithmetic conversions") - strcat -> Bstrcat, strcpy -> Bstrcpy

- bump lpeg stack limit to 1024 (hack) for long if/if/if...else chains - lexical: newline, EOF and whitespace; "bad" identifiers; hex literals, newline terminated strings (allow empty string) - syntax: allow nesting of array expressions, it's easier than special-casing; handle issues with structs expecting parm2 (hackish); userdef; switch/case/default - fix parsing some commands; mind prefixes! - frontend: if failing match, print last keyword and its position; warn on "bad" identifiers (one per such); batch processing from command line - Files that locate finds from my linux box now pass (except where there are really syntax errors).
