Revision 958, 3.5 kB (checked in by takkaria, 3 months ago)

A bunch of fixes by Rowan Beentje:

  • Remove the now useless arg_fiddle, as discussed in #angband-dev
  • Remove arg_sound (no longer used)

OS X only:

  • Removes the Fiddle and (non-functional) Wizard mode and non-[V] 54x54 graphics tile menu entries.
  • Removal of more unused/disabled menu items: Page Setup and Print, and the Edit menu.
  • Corrects the Sound menu entry to update use_sound instead of the old arg_sound.
  • Final mac cleanup as part of r538, replacing game_in_progress with cmd.command checks.
  • Reshuffle of Open Recent menu redraw into a function with far fewer calls, add comment to validate_menus() to indicate it is called on every use of the menubar.
  • Complete rewrite of the sound code. Add support for the sound.cfg file, and at the same time replace the Carbon SoundManager? code with Cocoa NSSound-based code.
  • Cleanup of event handler definitions in osx-tables.h (just to make my life easier tying to track down: )
  • Fix to unhiding application being broken on some Intel machines. I believe the functions intended to flush input events were flushing setup/update events.
  • (#511) Fix to unhiding application not refreshing all windows
  • Improvement to release build rules to build a 20% smaller compressed file.
  • Property svn:eol-style set to native
