Software Change Log
Changelog for the ZDaemon 1.10 -> 1.11 transition
=================================================
1. Point 01 release (2018-03-15)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Significant improvements to unlagged; hitting in online mode should
now be exactly the same as in SP mode even in very high ping
situations; furthermore, there should be far fewer "dropped shots".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Point 02 release (2018-04-08)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Added a new dmflag (DF3_INFINITE_ITEMS = 4) and an associated CVAR
(sv_infiniteitems). It blocks the "consumption" of an item when it
is used (so it's effectively infinite once you acquire it).
2. Changed the behavior of callvote: the person that calls the vote
is automatically marked for a "yes" vote, so there is no need for
them to issue such a command separately.
3. Implemented a new "duel" mode (gametype=9). It differs from normal
DM in the following aspects:
a. maxplayers is forced to 2.
b. overtime is forced to 1.
c. sv_deathlimit is constrained from 15 to 60.
d. When 2 players join, they start in "warmup" mode where they
can play, get a feeling about the server, shoot and damage
each others, but the frag/death/suicide counters remain at
zero. When they are ready to start the game, they can call
a vote with the command "callvote game". The vote requires
100% agreement to pass.
e. Once the "set game" starts, it will end in one of 3 ways:
* Someone wins/loses (normal end of game).
* Someone disconnects (automatic forfeiture of the game
no matter the disconnection reason).
* The players can use "callvote cancel" to cancel the
game. If the vote passes, the game is canceled, no
stats are recorded and it returns to warmup mode.
f. If demo recording is enabled on the server, it will record
demos only for the actual game: not the warmup.
g. The warmup period length can be constrained by the
"warmup_timelimit" CVAR; it defaults to 5 minutes and
can range from 0 (which means unlimited) up to 1000.
4. Fixed stretched skies in widescreen mode.
5. World and global ACS arrays are now zero-initialized as they
should be.
6. An attempt to load a map will now only happen if a valid
sequence of properly named data lumps follows its label.
7. Extended tab autocompletion for client console commands. Auto-
completion after "toggle", "rcon" and "rcon toggle" is possible.
8. Fixed Heretic ammo pickup. Values for all types of ammo are
correct now.
9. Fixed client freeze (eg. iddqd1.wad map12, whitemar.wad map01).
10. Fixed a problem that would cause spectators to reveal secrets
under certain conditions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Point 03 release (2018-04-11)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Fixed some ACS memory handling problems.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Point 04 release (2018-05-18)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Added killlog as new command line parameter -klog. It logs
player name and killed monster. Only active in Coop and Survival.
2. Pitch set by Security Camera was ignored online. Fixed.
3. Fixed erroneous pixels of particles (rocket trail, railgun,
particle fountain) in uncapped mode.
4. Enabled cvar override for timelimit.
5. Fix for CPW_BulletAttack, CPW_CustomBulletAttack and
CPW_CustomMissile: sv_infiniteammo had no effect and ammo counting
was wrong online. Fixed.

20. Fixed a bug introduced in 1.10b09 which caused an ACS script which

these built-in functions from within a custom function.

puke command was used.

get_player_maxfrags, get_player_maxkills, get_player_maxdamage,
get_player_redflag, get_player_blueflag, get_player_greenflag,
get_player_whiteflag.
They return the player id or displayplayer if there is no value.
In combination with spy or spec_follow it's possible to bind a
shortcut for spectating (e.g. bind x "spy $get_player_maxfrags").
7. Fix for mapinfo keywords 'noinfighting', 'normalinfighting',
'totalinfighting' and 'clipmidtextures'.
8. Mapinfo 'keepfullinventory' added.

List 0-6: 0=disable, 1=within teams only, 2=everyone,

10. Implementation of DeHackEd thing property: 'Pickup sound'
This property allows for each item's pickup sound to be modified
individually, it accepts sound mnemonic or DeHackEd number.

was executed by a player and set to an actor during a
team based game their client would crash upon opening the automap.
12. Fix for client command 'idmypos', coordinates were not

'checkswitchrange', 'nocheckswitchrange', 'translator',
'unfreezesingleplayerconversations'.
14. log_timestamps and con_timestamps clients cvars have been added,
they will enable timestamps in both the log (when enabled) and
console respectively.
15. Console command 'give all' now also gives you Artifacts and
Puzzle items when the corresponding inventory graphics are
present.
16. DeHackEd: "Ammo type ZD" has been added in order to get around
a legacy zdoom 1.23 holdover with "Ammo type" value of 5 being
hard-coded for infinite ammo. Infinite ammo in "Ammo type ZD" is
now a value of -1 and below, while 0 and above are for the
standard weapons. This ensures legacy behaviour is preserved
when it comes to "Ammo type". The new "Ammo type ZD" ensures
that all of the ammo types are accessible.
17. The 'idmypos' display will no longer overlap with the 'netstats'
or other items.
18. Players and voodoo dolls did not trigger line specials when they
spawned and their center was exactly on a line. Fixed.

height, it accepts both whole and decimal numbers.

'PlayWeaponSound', 'CPA_CustomMissile', 'CPW_CustomMissile',
'CPA_BulletAttack', 'CPW_BulletAttack', 'CPA_CustomBulletAttack'
and 'CPW_CustomBulletAttack' by using keyword 'Sound name ZD'.

GetActorProperty ACS function:
* APROP_SeeSound
* APROP_AttackSound
* APROP_PainSound
* APROP_DeathSound
* APROP_ActiveSound
NOTE: The returned string values will only have a lifetime of 1
tick for now.
22. Added the following ZDoom ACS functions returning strings:
* GetActorClass
* GetActorFloorTexture
* GetActorFloorTerrain
* GetCVarString
* StrLeft
* StrMid
* StrRight
* GetWeapon
NOTE: The returned string values will only have a lifetime of 1
tick for now.

types are supported at the moment:

* ARMORINFO_SAVEPERCENT
NOTE: The string value returned for ARMORINFO_CLASSNAME will only
have a lifetime of 1 tick for now.

input format specifiers (these correlate to the ACS Print function
cast types). The full synopsis of the two commands is now as
follows:
