What changed in EDuke32, build by build

... or another 'spriteflags' or 'sprite*' directive.

This flag is set from C for some enemies that should not be pushed back when damaged, such as TANK. Both the tile flag and the per-sprite flag are used (i.e. the ultimate flag value is the XOR of the two). Add currently non-functional example to test.lua that attempts to set this bit for NEWBEAST.

Make Mapster32 save as map-text if there is a wall with non-zero 'blend'.

DONT_BUILD.

Given highlighted sectors, these take the arithmetic mean of their ceiling's or floor's (respectively) z, removing the slope bit from all, and setting the new z to the mean one, rounded down to 1024 Build z units (one PGUP/PGDN). BUILD_LUNATIC.

BUILD_LUNATIC.

We shouldn't be using its actor[].t_data[8] because that one is used by the sprite rotation-fixing system (which fixes STAT_FX sprites to the positions relative to the pivot, too). Test case source/lunatic/test/delmusicsfx.lua still passes with this modification.

One potential use is to add r_togglecomposition "0" if you don't like Aero turning on and off every time you switch between 2D mode and 32-bit 3D mode.

BUILD_LUNATIC.

engine.setupDebugBasePal() set up the water base palette such each of the first 15 "ramps" of 16 consecutive colors has a single, "representative" color. For example, color indices 0-15 and black, 16-31 are dark gray. In shadexfog.lua, list remappings from LOOKUP.DAT that are expressible as remappings of 16-tuples.

- Mapster32: before loading LOOKUP.DAT, set palookup[0][239]=239 to make an identity map of the base shade table's shade 0 - Rewrite color index remapping case of makepalookup() for clarity BUILD_LUNATIC.

Also, error if didn't read enough data and account for TITLE and REALMS swap between basepal number and on-disk order (sigh).

Lunatic: also, add an additional argument 'moreblends' to engine.savePaletteDat() and document that function. See test/shadexfog.lua for a "user-friendly" wrapper shadexfog.save() which prints success or errors.

The function now writes out a full PALETTE.DAT: base balette, shade table and translucency table.

BUILD_LUNATIC.

On the C side, slightly rewrite (now) getclosestcol_lim() for clarity.

Also, fix a missed .filler -> g_ambiencePlaying[] rewrite in the editor. In C-CON, 'detail' is kept as alias to C-side (former) .filler / now .blend, but that name is *deprecated*.

This should fix the crash encountered here: http://forums.duke4.net/topic/1348-mapster32-problems-and-bugs/page__view__findpost__p__184069 a-c.c also gets a new switch macro, DEBUG_WITH_VALGRIND.

- use SPRITES_OF* iterator macros - new function: E_SpriteIsValid(); add some safety checks (e.g. hitag used as sprite index) - the rest is mostly "the usual code transformations"

In simple cases, it should be added. Combinations of alignment across TROR boundaries and bottom-swapping will probably not work right.

Concretely, in the "behind, outside" case, draw the sprite early if any of its 2 or 4 corner points are behind the masked wall, and inside the cone or on the other outside.

When a map named <filename>.map is loaded (<filename> may also contain directory separators), the engine checks for existence of <filename>_XX.art in the virtual file system, where XX is a 0-padded number from 00 to 19. It loads a consecutive sequence of these ART files, i.e. aborts whenever a number in the sequence isn't found (in contrast to normal ART loading). Restrictions: - the per-map ART files must not reside in ZIP files - if a tile number is attempted to be overridden that has a dummytile or is cache1d-locked, per-map ART loading fails On failure, the map is still loaded, but a diagnostic message is output to the log/OSD. Loaded per-map ART data are cleared whenever the map is "left". In particular: - whenever another map is loaded - in the editor: when a new map is started - in the game: after the bonus ending screen of a finished level, after going to the title screen via the menu A final note: file names are supposed to be looked up and compared case-sensitively. That is, <filename> must match EXACTLY between the map's and per-map ART one; 'art' must be lowercase. Otherwise, the cookie monster will come and eat you! BUILD_LUNATIC.
