* make all legacy light modes except 'Doom' MAPINFO only. A CVAR still exists for testing but its value won't be saved to the config.
* user can only select between "performance', 'software' and 'vanilla'. 'performance' is the old 'Doom' mode which is still needed to speed things up on low end hardware.
* MAPINFO can not enforce any of the two software light modes, as low end users require the option to change this to the 'performance' setting. Selecting one will always revert to the user's light mode selection.
- Show item counter on automap
- Enable thicker automap lines and anti-aliased lines for better visibility with high res displays
- Enable textured automap
- HUD border scaling factor to better match default status bar scaling
- Enable subtitles
- Set render quality to "quality" to fix level mesh seams (gl_seamless)
- Enable mouse in menus by default (instead of touchscreen-like)
- Don't show ENDDOOM when quitting the app
- Enable the first crosshair, and set its scale slightly smaller
- Grow crosshair when picking up items
- Set autoaim slider to 0
- Show nametags when switching items and weapons
- Always run enabled
- Disable save/load confirmation dialog
- Enable quicksave rotation
- Enable additively-translucent Doom rocket explosion
- Increase default particles to 10k, and increase the slider to 65k (engine limit)
- Disable night vision effect
- Set sprite clipping to "Always" as this looks better than having sprites sink into the geometry
- Set particle style to round as it matches the pixelated aesthetics better
This implements a bruteforce approach for 2D line antialiasing.
It's not perfect by any means, but it seems to do its job well enough.
Since it draws 9 lines instead of 1 line per segment, it's significantly
more expensive but should still be usable on modern hardware (except
on very complex maps).
Automap line antialiasing is disabled by default and can be enabled
with the `am_lineantialiasing 1` cvar.
This solves two problems:
* The linked list is too slow, a map is better. A map cannot be used with statically allocated CVARs because order of initialization is undefined.
* The current CVAR system is an unordered mishmash of static variables and dynamically allocated ones and the means of identification are unsafe. With this everything is allocated on the heap so it can all be handled the same by the cleanup code.
This can be used to improve automap readability on high-resolution
displays.
Some automap options in the menu were reordered to follow a more
logical order.
* Implement renderstyle and transparent actor sprite rendering in automap
* Add "am_advspriterender" CVAR and add invisible actor checks.
* Rename cvar to `am_thingrenderstyles`
currentUILevel is now primaryLevel.
For ZScript, currentVMLevel was added. This is also exported as 'level' and will change as needed.
This also means that no breaking deprecations will be needed in the future, because in order to sandbox a level only 4 variables need to be handled: level, players, playeringame and consoleplayer.
The remaining global variables are not relevant for the level state.
The static 'level' has been mostly removed from the code except some places that still need work.
