- Made the 2 TArrays into a class called DActorModelData.
- Removed the skinindex and now just uses one index
- Replaced a bunch of nullptr for modelDef checking with NAME_None
- Added some garbage cleanup to A_ChangeModel itself, as well as removing memory of modelData that is no longer needed
- Attempted serialize code, putting up for review
- Made the models and skins arrays TArrays
- The issue I described with models not always reverting to default properly was caused by the fact I was unintentionally overwriting smf data. Now intermediate TArrays store the data before the loop instead of overwriting anything
-Added A_ChangeModelDef
A_ChangeModel(modeldef, modelpath, model, modelindex, skinpath, skin, skinid, flags)
This can change the modeldef, model and skins of an actor.
Currently, modelindex and skinindex accept indices from 0-15.
An actor MUST have a modeldef in order to use this function, either defined from modeldef, or given one through the modeldef parameter. You can pass "" to use the same modeldef. Likewise, passing "" for model or skin will just revert to the default model.
Available flags:
CMDL_WEAPONTOPLAYER - If used on a weapon, this instead change's the model on the player instead.
One issue I am aware of right now is that clearing a model by "" sort of works but is buggy. For now you can just manually set the model back using the names explicitly. However, I am stumped and I think getting more eyes on it would help.
Re-worded error messages which were unprecise or unfitting before (model index below 0 was not acknowledged at all, or grouped together with a "too many models" message).
modelIDs are given a default value of -1.
Important: A MODELDEF's FrameIndex lines can no longer refer to model indices that are beyond the number of models of that MODELDEF entry. There is in fact a check to avoid going beyond the number of an actor's models which would abort program operation at startup, but it never caught any such occurances.
surfaceSkinIDs was two-dimensional and is now a one-dimensional TArray as well, elements are accessed via [Row + Column * NumRows], in this case surfaceIndex + modelIndex * MD3_MAX_SURFACES]
Used TArray.Alloc to make TArrays have the correct size depending on the number of models.
Also removed MAX_MODELS_PER_FRAME.
Edited skinSurfaceIDs access for one-dimensional TArray
Added MD3_MODELS_MIN
To ensure compatibility with mods, all model-related TArrays (four in total) have a minimum size of 4, defined by MD3_MODELS_MIN.
