Zandronum 1.0-alpha-120602-1356

Welcome to the very first Zandronum beta build! Zandronum seamlessly continues the development of Skulltag 98e, so if you are familiar with the 98e beta builds, there should be no big surprises right now.

Currently the only major changes are the rebranding and the removal of the skulltag_data.pk3 auto load mechanism. We also decided to simplify the versioning scheme and start fresh with 1.0.

Here is the full list of changes since the last official 98e beta build, i.e. 120415-2135:

Code:

changeset:   3343:ac633fe30416
user:        Torr Samaho
out of sequence fix backport from ZDoom revision 3570:
- In S_Shutdown(), stop the song and forget traces of it so that people who feel like setting snd_musicvolume in their atexit don't crash because it tries to restart the song at the new volume.

changeset:   3344:37d58bb70dd0
user:        Torr Samaho
[TIHan] Fixed: Client wasn't informed of its player's properties after a changemap.

changeset:   3345:e10c5032d675
user:        Torr Samaho
[TIHan] Fixed: A_FireCustomMissile doesn't spawn missiles when called near walls/things online.

changeset:   3346:a4816c85e05f
user:        Torr Samaho
[Dusk] Fixed: Clients weren't told of monsters' strafe counts, causing desyncs in 'fast-chasing' monster movement.

changeset:   3347:6039421bc226
user:        Torr Samaho
[Dusk] Fixed: Zedek's Quietus attack was not handled properly, appearing silent and invisible.

changeset:   3348:bf37afe822db
user:        Torr Samaho
Reduced SVC2_SETFASTCHASESTRAFECOUNT's net traffic (FastChaseStrafeCount only takes values from 0 to 3, so a byte is enough to transfer its value).

changeset:   3349:ee81c20d4c28
user:        Torr Samaho
[Dusk] Fixed: Puzzle item usage was handled improperly on the clientside, causing no item use sound when a puzzle was solved with it. Also changed puzzle item fail message to only print on the client that activated it, rather than to everybody.

changeset:   3350:fdc6d019945b
user:        Torr Samaho
In A_FighterAttack the server now lets the clients play the sound independently of whether the last missile was spawned successfully.

user:        Torr Samaho
Added Popsoap's updated dynamic light definition for the Hectebus.

changeset:   3352:66cc3c9e7568
user:        Torr Samaho
Added new compatflag "don't stop player scripts on disconnect", controlled by the new CVAR compat_dont_stop_player_scripts_on_disconnect. If this is enabled, the ACS scripts with a player as activator are not terminated when this player disconnects.

changeset:   3353:9ccf213217e9
user:        Torr Samaho
[TIHan] Fixed: Under certain circumstances after a monster was resurrected, it did not get reset when the map reset.

changeset:   3354:cdb6dad1b744
user:        Torr Samaho
Added new dmflag "unblock players", controlled by the new CVAR sv_unblockplayers. If this is true, player bodies are treated as if they had the THRUSPECIES flag.

changeset:   3355:939ad579aa2e
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: Spectators were blocked by SOLID things on steps.

changeset:   3357:5813af56a2bf
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: After a map reset in terminator/possession/teampossession (possibly with the new ACS command ResetMap in combination with the GAMEMODE lump), the terminator sphere/hellstone wasn't respawned.

changeset:   3358:9d297e9d1b9e
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: When the ACS command ResetMap was executed by the server, the clients were not instructed to do their part of the map reset, e.g. removing decals and CLIENTSIDEONLY actors.

changeset:   3359:09ce837f1c45
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: A map reset in Domination (possible with the new ACS command ResetMap in combination with the GAMEMODE lump) didn't reset ownership of the control points.

user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: The behavior of grenades fired near a wall online on the clients was broken.

changeset:   3361:d1191654d61e
user:        Torr Samaho

user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: The remains of crushed actors were not removed on the clients online by a map reset.

changeset:   3363:0f852a798203

user:        Torr Samaho
Added a slightly shortened version of TIHan's "Fixed: Spectators were affected by the TimeFreezeSphere in competitive modes." patch.

changeset:   3367:2a154eb5f61c
user:        Torr Samaho
Ported from TIHan's monster_bandwidth_reduction branch: Converted SERVERCOMMANDS_SpawnThing* and SERVERCOMMANDS_MoveThing* to use NetCommand. This port untangles the command style change from the actual bandwidth reduction and fixes a small bug of that branch (the "ulSize == 0" in SERVERCOMMANDS_MoveThing* was removed in there instead of being updated to work with the new style).

changeset:   3368:86e91441bc0f
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: When a non-spectator player disconnected his running CLIENTSIDE scripts were not terminated.

user:        Torr Samaho

user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: Wound state changes weren't sent to clients. (part of Dusk's wound state / custom damagetype fix patch, but modified so that clients don't touch the wound state on their own)

changeset:   3383:d354b587d47e
user:        Torr Samaho
Fixed: The server always instructed clients to use the standard pain state of an actor, not any custom one.  (part of Dusk's wound state / custom damagetype fix patch, but slightly modified and extended)

changeset:   3384:2a791df45c2c
user:        Torr Samaho
added Dusk's FindStateLabelAndOffset extension to handle child states (part of Dusk's wound state / custom damagetype fix patch, but slightly modified to use references instead of pointers)

Works fine. Thanks!

what the? this is third move of skulltag web site? what next fourth move?

Zandronum, what a cute name 8)

not cool :|

Looking nice so far, good job guys. I also noticed that all the CTF, DM, TLMS (etc) maps that were with skulltag have been removed. Are there going to be some added after people have moved out of SkullTag and the main jobs on Zandronum have been done?

I think this is looking like the last move, considering our circumstances.

Considering the removal of st_data.pk3 autoload, I decided to recompile the resources into a new pk3: http://www.mediafire.com/?b2ykvke1zhat897
Yes, I posted this on IRC (twice!), but I might as well put it here too. Basically, it is only comprised of the skins, sprites, sounds, music, and textures of st_data. The size is reduced a lot due to the removal of the maps, and the graphics are converted back to Doom Patch Format for palette compatibility (for Doom palette variants, though), which does not affect size much since they are ZIP-compressed anyways. It could be put in the Skins folder for now, but I'm hoping for it to be included with Zandronum as a skins-folder autoload.

Edited for new link.

But we some people including me want the maps, too.

I concur!

(06-05-2012 05:45 AM)Qent Wrote:  But we some people including me want the maps, too.

I like to keep the maps useable too, particularly the new UDMF versions ;). Since Zandronum can still load skulltag_data.pk3 it should be no problem to continue to use them. BTW: Since the pk3 is not auto loaded, it is listed as wad by the server and you can even see which revision of the pk3 the server is using if the pk3 is renamed to something like skulltag_data_revnum.pk3. It is just the question where and under which conditions skulltag_data.pk3 can be made available for download.

Updated.
It contains three files now, one for the resources, one for the skins, and one for the maps. The former two go in the Skins folder (or come with Zandronum in a Skins folder), and the latter can be loaded up on a server. This is also based off the latest ST_Data.pk3, r126.

Again, edited for new link.

I've noticed this, Skulltag was an engine that didn't use the letter Z in the name even though it used Zdoom for it's base. Zdaemon, GZdoom, and now... *Drum rolls* Zandronum! Sounds ominous...
