not seen thorough testing yet.
pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F
With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.
This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.
Changes:
2.5.1.4 @ 2016-Jan-10
[+] Added "Fix clipping problems in large levels" option.
[+] Added "gl_finish" config variable.
[+] Added "mus_fluidsynth_gain" and "mus_opl_gain cfg" config variables to
fine tune output of fluidsynth and opl2 midi. Values allowed are 0 to
1000. 50 (default) exactly matches old behavior.
[+] Added a "Health Bar Above Monsters" option (health_bar* config variables).
[+] Added a "Things appearance" automap option. Possible values: "classic",
"scaled" and "icons".
[+] Added "notarget" and "fly" cheat codes.
[+] Added MBF's "-beta" codepointers.
[+] Added a new HUD.
[+] Added "shaders" sector light mode.
[+] Support "Classic Doom" WAD files of Doom 3 BFG Edition, by Fabian
Greffrath.
[+] Support for HACX 1.2 IWAD, by Fabian Greffrath.
[+] Support up to eight joystick buttons instead of just four, by Fabian
Greffrath. The fifth and sixth buttons are mapped to strafe left and right.
[+] Mouse look now is available in software mode.
[+] Added a crosshair. Three different crosshair graphics are for choice:
cross, angle and dot. Extra features are changing crosshair colors
according to the player's health and/or on sight of a target.
[+] Added "Allow Jump" option on "Prboom-plus 'bad' compatibility settings"
page. Implemented by Fabian Greffrath.
[+] Added a "Backpack Changes Thresholds" option.
[+] -skipsec accepts a minutes prefix followed by a colon.
[+] Two-key strafe50: StrafeOn + MoveLR = strafe50
[+] Added "Allow Vertical Aiming" option on "Prboom-plus 'bad' compatibility
settings" page.
[*] Update to newest SDL libraries: SDL_mixer 1.2.12, SDL_image 1.2.12,
SDL_net 1.2.8.
[*] Brown color for weapons that cannot be fired on weapon HUD widget.
[*] "Use GL surface for software mode" mode now works much faster if
gl_finish is 0 in config.
[*] process_affinity_mask config variable is removed. Single CPU core will be
automatically forced if SDL MIDI player is used.
[*] Better support for Chex Quest, by Fabian Greffrath. Embed chex.deh by
fraggle in prboom-plus.wad.
[*] Redo MBF-style multiple DEHACKED lumps. Load command line DeHackEd patches
after DEHACKED lumps.
[*] Improved rendering precision (wall wiggle), by kb1.
[*] Realign automap grid with blockmap.
[-] 'Max Health', 'Max Soulsphere' and 'Megasphere Health' DEH parameters did
not work after warping to level from command line since 2.4.8.1.
[-] Buggy invulnerability effect if hi-res textures are used and there is no
support for GL_ARB_framebuffer_object.
[-] Simple shadows flicker during lowering lifts.
[-] "Change palette on pain/bonus/power" settings did not work.
[-] Lines of walls on automap were not displayed on Planisphere 2 at some zoom.
[-] Fixed HOMs on Planisphere 2.
[-] Incorrect clipping of automap in opaque mode after changing view window
size. Affects only software mode.
[-] Fixed long wall error.
[-] Boom's ability to change floor and ceiling lighting independently was not
applied to things in opengl.
Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.
pkglint -Wall -r --autofix --only aligned
After running the above command, three packages had to be adjusted
manually:
In maelstrom-x11, pkglint didn't see that a commented variable
assignment should have been re-aligned as well.
In netmaze, there was a single line that didn't align well with all the
others, but pkglint decided to adjust the whole paragraph to this single
line. The result would have been ok, but not good.
In tscp, there was a paragraph where some of the lines were indented
one space more than the others. This rule is useful when one variable
name is very long compared to the others, but not in this case.
PrBoom+ is a modified version of id Software's classic game DOOM. It
runs on several platforms (including Win32 and Unixes) and features many
additions to the original game. It also supports multiplayer games.
