* Again, tweak the spawning code to take maximum advantage of these gains.
* Fix potential crashes with MT_NULL mace/chain types supplied.
* #ifdef out the height-clipping code. It needs more TLC than I can give it right now, and the existing behaviour is less obviously broken (sadly enough).
* Fix chainmace points, which were apparently broken without anyone realising.
* Completely rework how mace/chainbars are spawned to reduce the number of matrix multiplications required EVEN FURTHER!
* Reimplement the maceretry solidity stuff (effect 4).
* Flip the mminlength stuff so that existing dev maps don't break badly.
* Fix hacky chainbar grabbing.
* Tweak height of tinychain a smidge.
* Fix ability to turn chains (still disabled by default, just at least want the option...)
* Replace max speed setting with a "minimum chainlink distance" setting - if greater than zero, that many chains will not be spawned from the center outwards. Doesn't affect the head of the chain at all, since otherwise what's the point? :V
* Handle all chain objects as a hnext/hprev chain.
* When removing mobjs with hnext/hprev, "repair the chain" (make the h links meet).
* Fix hidden slings, which I accidentially broke when I revamped maces the first time.
* Kill MF2_MACEROTATE. Not needed for anything anymore.
* P_MaceRotate now available to Lua to make up for it.
* Related: Made modifying hnext/hprev using Lua safer, so it keeps the reference counts in play.
* Prevent ANY input when blindfolded.
* Make CECHOs always perplayer'd. (A little hacky; quads will need work here.)
* Make NiGHTS link timer bounces not a mess, and only when the colour changes.
I don't fully understand this, but it's what software does and it fixes the issue of the lighting in DSZ3. Also don't need the extra call to R_Prep3DFloors.
* cv_powerupdisplay. Never, First-person only (default), Always.
* New monitor stuff.
* Fixed hitmessages.
* Some CTF stuff.
* Aaaaugh it's a lot I hate myself I need to work on my coursework.
* I'll figure out what I did here in the merge request when that's done.
I don't think it does anything for us anymore, and might even break things with slopes.
Someone let me know if I'm wrong and am breaking things horribly here.
Transformation based on screen space would make sense if we didn't want anything in the world to effect the sprites.
This should allow sprite splitting and sorting of sprites with level geometry easier.
stransform is no longer needed.
* Make TIME part of HUD count down in a bunch of circumstances where it was otherwise some other seperate thing.
* Make race countdown happen in a bunch of appropriate circumstances.
* Refactor race countdown.
* Remove a lot of useless stuff from H&S/Tag UI.
* Make co-op/competition/race end-of-act countdown use the race countdown and bigger HUD font.
* Remove useless PLAYING/SPECTATE text from lives element.
* Merge lap counter into lives element.
* Move some other text around.
Solid walls *can* be cut
Fix issues with water and fog FOFs not cutting each other out correctly
Fix Fog colourmap and lighting setting that is done here.
Remove HWR_SplitFog
There is currently a bug with FF_DOUBLESHADOW (that also exists in software) but has a larger impact here. When 2 FF_DOUBLESHADOW lights are directly stacked on each other the bottom one has its height set incorrectly. This causes all the Fog in the timed gravity flipping section of ERZ2 to be drawn and it looks really bad.
This reverts commit 121fcd8369.
The reason I am reverting this is because the last commit actually fixes the *old* screenshot functionality, as the screen is being drawn back onto the buffer after they're swapped in the "real" size. Meaning the old function actually works perfectly fine now.
They still aren't perfect, but now they are at least not quite so obviously just translucent polygons over the level. A mixture between partially modulating the background colours and adding the fog colour. Notably white fog blocks look like they're brightening what's behind them.
Additive was also setting noalphatest before, can probably decide that depending on what it needs anyway. I don't think it's currently used anyway.
Sorts all translucent sprites and MD2s so they're drawn after all the opaque ones. Fixes most of the observable issues between translucent MD2s and opaque sprites/MD2s.
Only use glCopyTexImage2D when first creating the screen texture, use glCopyTexSubImage2D anytime after that as it does not define a new texture each time.
Flushing of the screen textures has been implemented for when the screen size changes (so that the screen textures don't stay at a wrong size) and the game is closed, I believe they would leave a memory leak before.
The Far clipping plane did not need to be nearly as high as it was, the new value is 32768, which I suspect is about how far software can render before it completely falls apart.
It is desirable to increase the near clipping plane to between 6-10, but it can introduce more issues with close geometry not being drawn when the player or camera is scaled or viewheight is set to MIN in first person view. It would also stop sprites from being drawn ever so slightly too early, but this isn't too much of an issue and isn't too noticeable with those values. Might look into scaling near clipping plane in accordance to camera scale in the future.
The reason for wanting to increase the near clipping plane is because the small value can cause very noticeable Z-fighting where there shouldn't be on older GPU's, usually Intel ones, that don't support 24-bits for the depth buffer.
* fix screen to properly truncate the filename to just the real name only
* if the real name itself is too long, use ellipsis and paste in parts of the start and end of the actual name
note: I haven't actually tested if this works or compiles yet, I haven't the time right now
Turns out compiling for Linux 32-bit using the Makefiles never actually defines LINUX! Apart from that, most of the existing Linux-specific code in SRB2's source code (except for tmap.s) actually uses __linux__ instead anyway
- controllable strengths between 0-31 for COLORMAP lump like before
- arbitrary colour indices in the palette via TRANSMAP lumps, with strengths 0-9
- exposed to Lua as v.fadeScreen(color, strength)!
* Remove last vestiges of V_STATICPATCH.
Additionally, place some optimisations in both software and OpenGL; in particular one has been added for when all of back and front sector (floor and ceiling) is sky: since everything is "open" anyway, we can simply the usual checks involved.
Thankfully it was really just a copy+paste of the code I already tinkered with for the normal ceiling sky based thok barriers, but tweaked for floors instead
