In levels with tens of thousands of precipmobjs, the
overhead of running a thinker for all of them is too much,
no matter how small the thinker is.
ALL thinking is done inside the renderer now, where it can
be limited by distance. Precipmobjs track the last
leveltime they thunk, so interpolated frames don't think
twice.
There can be very many precipmobjs in a sector. During BSP
rendering, for each sector reached by BSP (the entire
visible level at least), all the precipmobjs would be
iterated and their distance from the camera calculated, to
determine whether they are within draw distance.
The issue with the old approach is that there really are
too many precipmobjs in each sector. By iterating the
blockmap within a certain range instead, precipmobjs
out of view are not iterated at all, saving some time.
Caveat: drawdist_precip is no longer respected as an
exact value, since it must round to the precision of the
blockmap.
List of potentially scary changes:
- Removes snext/sprev for precipmobj_t
- Removes preciplist for sector_t
- Adds bnext/bprev for precipmobj_t
- mobj_t and precipmobj_t field offsets are symmetrical
- Modified P_SetPrecipitationThingPosition and P_SetThingPosition
- The syntax in these functions is kind of wacky
- arg2: TID of an object to make the camera's angle/pitch follow.
- arg3: Zoom tube waypoint sequence to start following.
- Ceremony uses one-screen, regardless of previous splitscreen-ed-ness
The totally-not-a-secret reason I made this branch.
- doomednum 770 (associated with polyobject anchors 760/761 and skybox centerpoint 780)
- Place exactly two in a map to draw an implicit rectangle.
- Supports top-left/bottom-right AND bottom-left/top-right placements.
- I_Errors if you place too many (or only one).
- You don't *have* to have these, this is just a bonus if you're a map like Power Plant or CDSS1 negatively affected by your skybox.
- `P_InitMinimapInfo`
- Writes to `p_local.h` extern struct
- Handles everything previously distributed across multiple K_drawKartMinimapIcon calls (and most of AM_findMinMaxBoundaries)
- Reduces complexity of drawKartMinimapIcon significantly
- Last prerequisite before implementing user-placable minimap boundaries...
- DMG_STUMBLE in SOC, hardcode
- Has sector type
- UDMF: damagetype = "Stumble"
- Binary: Sector type 9, section 1
- Can be chained even when invincible, unlike Tumble
- Will never instinctively cause hitlag
All typedefs for structs that were present in other header
files have been moved to here. (Except node_t because the
renderer and netcode both define node_t LOL.)
Gremlins happened whenever P_TryMove and P_SlideMove/P_BounceMove disagreed on what an object collided with. When TryMove said you collided with a line, but P_BounceMove said that you didn't, then you'd get gremlin'd.
To fix this, P_TryMove now can edit a struct to contain information on what it collides with. P_SlideMove and P_BounceMove no longer try to detect walls on their own and now requires this result from P_TryMove. If a slide/bounce is needed without moving the object, then you'd want to use P_CheckMove to get the result.
Lua is not supported right now.
This makes it significantly easier to save/restore the state of these variables, whenever we need to do so for calling movement functions in the middle of other movement functions. This will also make it easier to move it out of global variable hell if desired later.
Water skipping is enabled for Orbinaut, Jawz, and Ballhog currently. Jawz can water run, as long as their target is on/above the plane they're at -- once their target goes into the water, they'll start skipping.
- Negative speed weather will spawn from a floor in a sector with a sky ceiling, and go up into the ceiling.
- (Not really the same as reverse gravity weather in that aspect, because that would be for sky floors.)
- Fixed invert precipitation flag for linedef type 8 being completely unimplemented. (How long has it been like this...?)
- Fix swapping weather on the fly having reversed momz
An optimized error check was put into P_BlockThingsIterator for tmthing, but this meant that anything that was not using or even setting this variable (the supermajority of them) would exit after finding 1 thing in each block.
To keep this error check & keep it optimized, the PIT_ functions were expanded to three options instead of two: BMIT_CONTINUE lets the search continue. If used as the last mobj, it will return true when the iterator finishes. BMIT_ABORT ends the search and forces the iterator to return false.
BMIT_STOP ends the search and forces the iterator to return true.
This is the function that controls whether a bunch of music-related function (and also whether certain error messages get printed).
* P_IsLocalPlayer now supports party players (currently untested, but the code is pretty airtight).
* P_IsLocalPlayer now always returns false in replays.
* P_IsMachineLocalPlayer now exists for the one situation the game determines local players that actually has a net-related function (kicking illegal character changes).
* Invincibility/grow sfx now operates based on whether the player is NOT local (it used to be whether it was NOT a displayplayer).
* Refactored P_SpectatorJoinGame to make future team support easier, and also reset the relevant camera focus, rather than always the consoleplayer's.
* Fix viewpoints on non-local players having overlapping viewpoint text.
I did a find+replace because I realized the functions I added were named too similar to other ones & to make the purpose more obvious ... but it ended up changing them too anyway! Gah!
