It was added only because FitzQuake used it in its pre-bsp2 large-map
support. That support has been hidden in bspfile.c for some time now.
This doesn't gain much other than having one less type to worry about.
Well tested on Conflagrant Rodent (the map that caused the need for
mclipnode_t in the first place).
If trace is null or point type, or the hull doesn't have portals, or the
first node is a leaf, MOD_HullContents operates in point mode (exactly the
same way as SV_HullPointContents()). However, in box mode, all leafs
touched by the trace are checked for their contents. The contents field of
trace (a bit field) will indicate the contents type of all touched leafs.
The returned contents value indicates the most important contents:
solid > lava > slime > water > empty
The one's complement value of the contents type is the bit number of the
contents bit field. I'm not sure how useful this will be as getting the
amount of overlap is currently not supported.
I got rather tired of there being multiple definitions of mostly compatible
plane types (and I need a common type anyway). dplane_t still exists for
now because I want to be careful when messing with the actual bsp format.
This reverts commit 10232acdfe.
The problem was really in the trace code, but it got fixed by "accident"
when I had similar problems in hipnotic a couple of years later. Now to
figure out just what the trace could really should be doing.
