What changed in EDuke32, build by build

The last only in release builds.

For pre-1.3 CONs, determining the older script version with gamestartup and/or definelevelname is not implemented.

What is missing is saving and restoring per-player and per-actor gamevars. Also add a test CON mutator 'mapstate.con'.

Also, make the savegame major version 2 in the Lunatic build.

There's no option letter for loading them, and the extension is checked case sensitively. Lua modules are loaded after CON translated to Lua. Also remove -testlua option.

Also, allow writing userdefs[].auto_run.

grpinfo { name "YourGameName" scriptname "yourgame.con" defname "yourgame.def" size yourgrpsize dependency DUKE15_CRC flags GAMEFLAG_ADDON crc yourgrpcrc } The "flags" field can also take the value "GAMEFLAG_DUKE" to define a new base game. Since this is the first commit of a new feature, certain semantics of the implementation and syntax are liable to change as necessary.

Also remove the two instances of commented out code, but not the respective CON structure access code.

This fixes RESPAWN preview wrongly clamping the previewed tsprite z coords to [-524288 .. 524288] (x/y limits). Also, make the previewed tsprites be 33% translucent with the option of 66% translucency by setting 'showrespawn_fulltrans' to 1 in a.m32.

Also, implement 'cmenu' in LunaCON, make 'definequote' also allowed as inner command.

Toggled with Ctrl+Shift+[KP-]. Variable 'headlight_range' controls its range. For the implementation, a new event EVENT_PREDRAW3DSCREEN was added.

In Lunatic, gamevars (variables that are saved with savegames) are per-module.

The code is mostly by other people, who are credited in the CON files.

With this change, it is impossible for negative values to be used as array indices inside this function, and I believe that it is also impossible that they escape to somewhere they might be used as such. For Lunatic, allow setting actor[].picnum to negative values and in the translator, add (commented out) code to warn whenever it is set to a constant negative value. Also, fix a _sound call in _addphealth in control.lua.

I hope I didn't bruise Lunatic too much.

While the functionality was already internally in place for gametext as one of two hacks using ROTATESPRITE_MAX (the other still used by minitext_() to align with the statusbar) we must codify a bit in the engine for safe external use. (Otherwise, ROTATESPRITE_MAX could/would theoretically increase and leave modders high and dry.) (Dev note: In G_DrawTXDigiNumZ(), ROTATESPRITE_MAX was used to bitshift the value used to calculate digit spacing for no reason I can ascertain other than to introduce rounding errors into the zoom/textscale calculations. It was never used anywhere, so I removed it.) Bonus: The scaling code for digitalnumberz and gametextz has been modified so that the spacing is no longer affected by rounding errors. Try animating the zoom value and compare how the text used to jump but now does not.

Previously, only the <0 condition was checked. However, the passed sectnums could be >= MAXSECTORS (at least in C-CON), for example when issuing 'canseespr' on a sprite not in the game world.

There's only one RETURN value on the C side (g_RETURN), which is also referenced from Lua. Upon entering an event, its value takes on the per-event default one, and its value when the event code finishes is passed back to the game. Independently of that, its value is always saved and restored across event calls.

In passing, fix a couple of omissions: gameactor() being passed nil's in the middle, more than one moveflag to CON *actor.

(Modders who used an older version: Take a look at the SVN diff, the fixes can easily be applied by hand.)

Also, make -Werror-bad-getactorvar disabled by default.

(Or '0's, but that case is handled automatically.) The resulting generated number is taken by looking at the 8 lower nibbles and interpreting them as a signed 32-bit integer. Also add some number parsing tests to test/nlcf_break.con.

Toggling whether a getactorvar for a global or per-player gamevar issues a warning or a hard error, the latter being the default. Also, make it possible to readgamevar/savegamevar per-actor gamevars and add userdefs member "idplayers" (read-only).
