add bootscreenconf(VGAscr *) function, that is called whenever
the framebuffer configuration is changed by devvga. that way, we
can pass the current setting of the framebuffer to the new
kernel when using /dev/reboot.
parsecookie() used to inplace modify the request path
for implicit path (to get the directory from path) and
also did it wrong. now have a static copy and do not
remove the last slash.
as usual, the dude with the hardware vanished so i cannot
develop this further. setting mode worked the last time
but only when using vesa before, so some bits are still
missing. commiting this as it is so i dont have to start
from scratch once we have hardware again.
basedefault[], the default path to the config file, is never set and remains
blank, unless -config %s is used (cd d_main.c). when games/doom attempts to
open the file, it silently fails and no config file is ever read or written.
this patch sets basedefault to a file in whatever directory a valid wad is
found in I_IdentifyWAD().
due to a typo in p_inter.c:P_TouchSpecialThing(), a message that is supposed
to show up when the player picks up a medikit while low on health (< 25), is
never displayed. the check for low health is done after the health is already
increased, so the condition is never true.
a cosmetic bug in all old doom executables that also seems interesting to fix.
to test: compare message displayed when picking up a medikit with and without
the patch
due to a typo in st_stuff.c:ST_updateFaceWidget(), doomguy mistakenly never
looks shocked when taking more than 20 damage, but rather when he gains more
than 20 health while being hit.
this is a cosmetic bug in all old versions of doom's executables, but it seems
appropriate to fix.
simple test: fire a rocket at a nearby wall, taking enough damage.
these emulate bugs present in select versions of the released doom executables.
they are required to correctly play demos recorded with these but affect the
gameplay, so should be otherwise disabled.
-nobounce: lost souls don't bounce off floors and ceilings like intended due
to a misplaced check; this is fixed from ultimate doom on, but doom and doom2
are still affected.
-noztele: in final doom 1.9, things' altitude was erroneously not set to the
floor's height after teleporting. this was fixed in later versions of the
executables.
examples of desyncing demos:
(plutonia.wad, without -noztele) http://doomedsda.us/lmps/946/2/30pl2646.zip
(doom2.wad, without -nobounce) http://doomedsda.us/lmps/945/3/30nm2939.zip
gamemode is set according to the name of the main wad (cf. d_main.c), i.e.:
- doom1.wad: (shareware doom1, ep1 only) gamemode == shareware
- doom.wad: (registered doom1, ep1-3) gamemode == registered
- doomu.wad: (ultimate doom, ep1-4) gamemode == retail
- doom2.wad, plutonia.wad, tnt.wad: gamemode == commercial
most doom.wad's distributed online are, in fact, ultimate doom.
if your ultimate doom wad is correctly named doomu.wad, some switches in
episodes 2-4 won't swap their texture when toggled, because
p_switch.c:P_InitSwitchList() is only checking for registered doom1.
easy way to test: demo2 in either registered or ultimate doom: the player flips
a switch right at the beginning of the demo; if the main wad is called
doomu.wad, the switch won't change its texture.
% games/doom -playdemo demo2
if you rename the wad to doom.wad or alter d_main.c:IdentifyVersion, the switch
will swap its texture like it should.
this function is used when playing demos from external lumps. the game just
exits without this patch.
to test this, download a demo lump from somewhere, and play it with -playdemo %s
where %s is the file's name, without the .lmp extension:
(note that this one is a doom 2 demo, so it requires doom2.wad)
% hget http://doomedsda.us/lmps/945/3/30nm2939.zip | unzip -sv
extracting 30nm2939.LMP
extracting 30nm2939.txt
% mv 30nm2939.LMP 30nm2939.lmp # checking for a lump filename is case sensitive
% games/doom -playdemo 30nm2939
the game exits when the demo ends. also, note that this demo will desync on
map06 (the crusher), because of an unrelated bug (that's another patch :>)
note: filelength() returns vlong, but file lengths for doom lumps are ints.
however, this might be used elsewhere (networking), so i'd leave it this way.
when cookie is domain=example.com, then we implicitely add
dot to the domain name, which made us reject the cookie as the
request domain "example.com" != ".example.com". fix by making
isdomainmatch() skip the implicit dot in pattern before string
comparsion.
when there where multiple syscalls returning out of order,
it would print blank lines between the exits. avoid this
by remembering if the last char written was a newline and
conditionally insert newline on out of order return.
sometimes, ratrace would return before all messages have
been printed. make the writer process the parent so ratrace
wont exit until all readers are finished avoiding the
problem.
we already export mntauth() and mntversion(), so why not stop
being sneaky and just export mntattach() so bindmount() and
devshr can just call it directly with proper arguments being
checked.
we can also avoid handling #M attach specially in namec()
by having the devmnt's attach function do error(Enoattach).
to avoid double caching, attachimage() and setswapchan() clear
the CCACHE flag on the channel but this keeps the read ahread
state of the cache arround (until the chan gets closed), so also
call cclunk() to detach the mcp and free the read ahead state.
avoid the call to cread() when CCACHE flag is clear.
