Details

• let the "abort" button on the network pane of the startup screen do a hard exit on Windows.
• Bugfix for software mode mirrors not working
• make sure ticdup is initialized.
• Add +ONLYVISIBLEINMIRRORS and +INVISIBLEINMIRRORS actor flags. The former makes the actor only visible in reflections, while the latter makes the actor not cast reflections in mirrors.

• ZScript: don't allow multiple assignment syntax with only one element.
• fixed type of third argument of MBF21's MonsterMeleeAttack function.

• allow taking screenshots in cutscenes.
• fixed JIT target function for GetTimeFrac.
• fixed: For cutscenes the alternative clean scaling factors need to be activated.

• Fix the discolored sky bug on Vulkan
• check point pushers/pullers by inheritance, not absiolute match
• Implement FVector ZScript for Actor Scale
• added FailSound property to PuzzleItem
• add `i_pauseinbackground` to the menu. note: please pull the language file for this
• set `i_pauseinbackground` to match `!(i_soundinbackground)` for all configs before this commit.

• reinstated con_scale.
• make sure the last notch on the start screen is rendered.
• fix relative include path when loading folders
• avoid storing texture pointers in longer lived data

This is missing the i_pauseinbackground language update that would have been needed since it was added to the menu.

[Graf Zahl]

Oops. I wanted to update the text file, but must have missed it.

[_mental_]

This commit is missing from the release branch, so targets without JIT cannot be compiled.

Is it possible to make 32-bit windows build for 4.8.1?

[Graf Zahl]

We stopped supporting 32 bit for good because some problems started to surface.

Is if(scale ~== (0, 0)) supposed to broken now?

[Graf Zahl]

You need to provide a bit more context. What happens?

Any instance of it in my mod gives me a "Incompatible operands for == comparison" error.

This was fixed after the 4.8.1 release. For now, get a devbuild from devbuilds.drdteam.com I'll try to get a 4.8.2 hotfix version out ASAP.
