ZDoom 2.0.97 Bugfix Release

[Shadelight]

I don't care if this is only a bugfix release, I'm using GZDoom until 2.1.0 comes out.

Hmm...

/me is going to make .97x (probably...)

I love the Microsoft paranoia! Are people really that weirded out by the MS Error Reporting Tool?!?!?

There's not much to do. And for the text-based LANGUAGE lump I won't invest the work in old code so GZDoom will not upgrade to this version. Most of the fixes are in .96x anyway.

finally, the bots have a point in life
don't turn into retards and are independent enough not to jump into a pit of damage and can wander themselves, the ai is heaps better

Doomguy0505 = hax.

Huh? Microsoft paranoia?

The list of changes needed for Linux. Patch attached. Includes cbuild.c and a cbuild script. The script is only setup to work with GCC (in Linux and MinGW), though it can be changed to work with MSVC cli tools.. I just don't know VC's command lines well enough.

People with an sh-compatible shell can run the cbuild.c file directly, otherwise, you'll need to manually compile it into an executable (eg: gcc -O2 -W -Wall -Werror -o cbuild.exe cbuild.c). Setting the environment vars NOASM, OPTLEVEL, ARCH_TYPE, TUNE_TYPE, CONFIG, RELEASETARGET, and DEBUGTARGET before running the script will have the same effect as with the makefile. Run with 'help' to get a list of available options.

As for the changes themselves...

In src/sdl:

• I_PrintStr uses the wrong prototype.
• GetModeCount is a virtual method in IVideo, but is never defined in SDLVideo. Since it's never used, it can be simply removed.
• IVideo and SDLVideo's NextMode function, as well as I_NextMode, are missing the 'bool *letterbox' parameter.
• A redundant i_music.h is conflicting with the one in src/sound.
• Missing a 'Windowed' variable in one of the SDLVideo functions (and in the same lines, unclean use of the ?: operators)
• I_FindFirst returns NULL where (void*)-1 is expected.

And for the main code:

• I_RegisterSong tries to use SPC in non-Windows (unfortunately it was way too much of a hassle to maintain this capability in Linux).
• i_sound.cpp tries to include the Win32-only header altsound.h in non-Windows.
• Also in i_sound.cpp, GSnd is not initialized with an FMODSoundRenderer object in non-Windows. It thusly crashes when attempting to check if(!GSnd->IsValid()).
• music_midi_timidity.cpp needs to include unistd.h for open/close/pipe/etc.
• v_palette.cpp also needs unistd.h
• zstrformat.cpp uses the non-standard __int64 type. For this patch, I changed it to use the C99-standard uint64_t and int64_t types (found in stdint.h, which the latest MinGW supports), and added typedefs for MSVC (why won't Microsoft support C99 ).

Edit - The archive was missing the default.cbd script for cbuild. Whoops.
Edit2 - Fixed a bug in cbuild relating to predefining env. vars. Thanks to Sanders for pointing it out.

/Downloads for archive purposes (not the linux patch, don't need that....... yet)

@martinhowe: I like the new error screen, I don't hate it - Could save the bugs forum from eternal spam

@Graf: are you going to implement the new error screen in GZDoom?

[Graf Zahl]

That depends. When I finally get a stable 2.1.0 source I have to see how much I can preserve without causing users to dismiss the crash log. I will have to disable the autosend feature because I have no place to send the error information.
