my P_SearchBlockmap_* functions are now a single searchBlockmap function, you can choose between "objects" and "lines" with the first arg to decide what to iterate through. I also rearranged the argument order a bit for easy stack cleanup etc
I'll remove the old stuff later, don't worry, it's disabled for now
Development improvements
An improvement to Objectplace I've wanted to make for a loooong time.
* Object number up/down is now assigned to ringslinger weapon next/prev. SO much nicer to use, especially since most people have that stuff bound to the scroll wheel.
Also, some changes to the devmode overlay:
* Plays nicely with showfps on - see http://imgur.com/a/zSzvm for the various cases (showfps on, devmode 65535, and both).
* Add PF_THOKKED to the flags in devmode DBG_DETAILED (as "TH").
* "Flags:" replaced with "PF:", "Heap used" replaced with "Heap". The latter is a debatable change, but the former isn't - otherwise the line is way too long compared to the rest of the stuff.

Hardcoded music name switches
Like I said earlier, it's better if all the hardcoded music switches in 2.2 start with an underscore so that it's harder to accidentally overwrite them.
Should be accepted when music.dta is updated.
See merge request !17
Same no non-music lump requirement as music.dta, and is ignored with no error if music_new.dta doesn't exist
(should hopefully make playing around with music easier)
Also, only one shield ability is selectively blocked by being Super now, and that's because Invincibility does it too and therefore I assume that's a match balance thing instead of a keyboard clash.
v.drawScaled negative scales fix
Lua now errors if you try to use negative scales with v.drawScaled, rather than crashing as it does in 2.1.16 currently. Not much else to say here.
See merge request !126
* Bubblewrap shield bounce now no longer allows thokking post-bounce, but still allows bouncing
* plus a bunch of tiny changes to clean up code around the place.
Fixing FF_REVERSEPLATFORM clipping fixes
Forgot the case where == 0.
Tested by @wolfy852 in Top Down, where the bugs this caused were first discovered.
See merge request !121
Even more slope-related fixes
What it says on the tin pretty much:
Currently included fixes:
* Pusher specials applied to FOFs did not properly account for slopes applied to the bottom plane; this probably was just a minor slipup that appeared on adding the support in the first place, I take it? (some waterfall in the last section of SUGOI's Fudge Canyon is the only place I can think of offhand where this bug is noticable)
See merge request !114
* Some shield sounds swapped (can be reverted later).
* Partial implementation of S3K shield abilities.
* The ability to elemental-groundpound onto gold monitors without going straight through them.
* Force shield ability removed because nobody could agree on it, we'll keep it blank until another idea can get through the disagreement juggernaut.
* shields give you 1000 points
* redundant shields don't make you puase
* checkpoints give you 2000 points
* falling down a deathpit is just falling, not bouncing
Treating " as whitespace in TEXTURES (and animdefs too i guess)
SLADE adds this character in its TEXTURES editor and makes SRB2 cry unless the lump is manually edited; this just treats it as whitespace so we don't have to think too hard about it.
Also, two I_Errors now refer to the correct lump name.
See merge request !122
Proper barrel sky distortion
Skies now use proper barrel distortion in both axes, rather than just the x-axis (i.e. just horizontally) as in all previous SRB2 versions. Credit goes to Nev3r for the original change and idea.
Was going to make an option for a non-barrel distorted sky, assuming barrel distortion is the default, but I just can't quite get it to work in a way that is pleasing to the eyes. So I've not bothered with it here for now, unless someone objects to barrel distorted skies for any reason?
See merge request !35
FOF wall slope skewing
FOF walls now can optionally skew with respect to slopes (software mode only currently):
* Upper Unpegged on the CONTROL linedef enables wall skewing
* Lower Unpegged on the IN-LEVEL linedefs ^1 determine which slope to skew with respect to (off = top slope, on = bottom slope)
* If Transfer Line is used however, Lower Unpegged on the control sector's linedefs does the above's job instead
^1 (this is because they already control pegging of individual FOF walls as it is, so this is for convenience and my sanity that they also deal with skewing)
See merge request !39
Fixes to horizontal spring collision
Fixed various issues arising from collision with exclusively horizontal springs. Thamks to @Inuyasha for the heads up! Of note:
* If you hold down your jump button whilst jumping into it, you no longer immediately use your ability.
* Characters with (CA_DOUBLEJUMP && CA2_MULTIABILITY) or CA_FLOAT or CA_HOVER no longer lose track of their jump count.
Also:
* Upped the strength of info.c's red and yellow horizontal springs.
See merge request !41
Horizon lines
Horizon lines for software mode! Place a Linedef type 41 somewhere on a one-sided linedef and it'll do fancy rendering hacks to draw the adjacent floor/ceiling to the "horizon". One small thing to sort out when I remember to do so, but this is good enough for merge already.
See merge request !44
FF_ANIMATE additions: globally synced animations
FF_GLOBALANIM = makes the animation synced to the level's timer, so all objects will display the same frame at the same time
I mean, doesn't that look so much prettier?
There's also some changes to FF_MIDDLESTARTCHANCE (FF_ANIMATE behavior was split due to not acting consistent between that and SPR2 behavior).
See merge request !46
* Object number up/down is now assigned to ringslinger weapon next/prev. SO much nicer to use, especially since most people have that stuff bound to the scroll wheel.
* introducing the new friend, SH_FORCEHP (which is used as a bitmask to get the extra hitpoints of a force-shield user)
* P_DamageMobj now considers the unimplemented shield constants as well as the implemented ones.
* When not pressing any direction, you now go backwards by default - to emphasise that this is primarily for defensive, not offensive, purposes.
* The camera can now handle the player going backwards without them going completely off-screen.
* Fixed some overzealous checks.
* The spinfire ring is now capable of damaging enemies. (god, what a terrible hack this is)
* When ground pounding, you now bounce off the floor a little bit to make the ability less spammable.
* The Dodge Dash
* Allows you to dash - no control, no falling, no key response - for 2 + (number of extra shield hitpoints) tics.
* If you're holding movement keys down, you dash in the direction you're holding - otherwise, you dash directly forward.
* You're spinning (spindash spin, not jump spin) until your dash is over, then your momentum is cut down significantly and you end up in falling frames.
* It may not necessarily be super useful for Sonic, but it helps the other characters.
* http://gfycat.com/BogusFailingFritillarybutterfly
* http://gfycat.com/PoliticalIdealisticBallpython (outdated speed, shows any direction)
Animated sky support
What it says on the tin: skies can be animated textures now. Just set them up as normal animated textures (keeping in mind the starting texture still has to comply with the SKYn/SKYnn/SKYnnn naming format) and hey presto, your sky animates.
See merge request !34
* GFZ3 Eggmobile's laser won't change its angle when you move left and right anymore.
* Changed because its ability to move quickly was extremely punishing for new players (see ProJared's youtube video on the matter).
* http://gfycat.com/PassionateUnknownAgama (the twitching on the third laser has been fixed since this was recorded)
* GFZ3 Eggmobile will, when too far away from the ground and moving upwards, slow itself down vertically.
* This was punishing and annoying for both old and new players alike.
* http://gfycat.com/ShabbyAncientEarthworm (old values - the typical settling height is slightly lower now)
* If you hold down your jump button whilst jumping into it, you no longer immediately use your ability.
* Characters with CA_DOUBLEJUMP and CA2_MULTIABILITY no longer lose track of their jump count.
(the problem was that MT_OVERLAY's default radius and height were never getting changed from 1*FRACUNIT, and that meant that when you spindashed, the game considered it completely below the surface of the flat you were standing on. Since you're not usually clipped on flats that don't belong to FOFs, we didn't notice this issue sooner.)
* Camerascale, shieldscale, height and spinheight are now player attributes which are set to the skin attribute on skin change, not read directly from the skin.
* P_GetPlayerHeight and P_GetPlayerSpinHeight are now macros instead of functions.
* Extra protection against switching to a locked skin.
* flips the sprite ala MFE_VERTICALFLIP except you don't need to flip the direction of gravity for the object just to draw upside down
* stacks properly with reverse gravity
HOWEVER, since these changes to PIT_CheckThing do raise questions about whether there may be unintended side effects here. As a result, I may remake this for internal only if necessary.
* Sets the sortscale of the mobj to that of its tracer.
* Basically, Smiles' tails won't clip through shields thanks to this.
* http://gfycat.com/GraveGlassEwe
* Also has support for chains of MF2_LINKDRAW!
More slope fixes (aka sorry guys I made another quick SUGOI fix)
Another slopes fix branch!
This branch currently includes a fix for:
* Knuckles gliding into a slope while in 2D mode causes him to try to "climb" on air above them, if the original non-sloped height is higher. Unfortunately he still tries to grab onto places that he can't really climb on, but at least now it's on the slope itself and not in mid-air lol. This issue is encountered in SUGOI's Retro Hill Zone, if you want to check for yourselves.
* Bustable FOF-busting code for both players AND pushables not accounting for slopes
* (Unrelated to slopes): Fix FF_SHATTERBOTTOM FOFs acting like THZ goop when stood on; I added this fix as a bonus because I encountered it in a test map of mine for the bustables fix
(Other fixes may or may not appear here in the near future, I haven't decided yet. Don't wait on me to get in any further fixes before merging, that said)
See merge request !110
Last-minute NiGHTS exiting bugfix
One single-line fix concerning the end of NiGHTS maps. Extremely small, literally zero side effects here, the only reason I'm not committing directly to master (aside from ettiquette) is that I don't have the ability to do so.
* The NiGHTS drone had a single tic of visibility when you hit the goal, which is evident stepping frame by frame through http://gfycat.com/ComplicatedComposedAoudad (the contents of which may or may not make it into 2.2). This is no longer the case.
See merge request !100
Also, the particles made via spindashing in shallow water are now located behind the player. This does move the running particles too, but that's okay.
* Fixed bug where being pushed off a platform whilst charging a spindash would leave you in your charging frames instead of your rolling ones when you hit the ground (http://gfycat.com/MassiveThreadbareItalianbrownbear for how it works now, http://gfycat.com/MarvelousEnlightenedAuk is how it used to work)
* Fixed bug where spindashing on top of a bubble spawnpoint led to you being able to move around in spindash frames (no gif since obvious desired behaviour is obvious)
* Spindash animation speeds up the faster you'll shoot off.
* The spin charging mechanism is now scale-independent, and only multiplies by scale when shooting off - less FixedMul calls, and potentially deals with weird quirks of changing scale whilst spindashing that nobody's discovered because there's no place to find that in the main game!
Also:
* Climbing animation defaults to rolling instead of walking, because what.
Skewing direction is decided per in-level wall by the Lower Unpegged flag on in-level linedefs themselves, since they already decide the stuff for FOF wall pegging as it is. That is unless Transfer Line is involved which moves everything to the control sector linedefs instead...
Cutscene switch fix
Yet another fix for SUGOI, lol: apparently going from a final level's post-cutscene straight to a custom credits cutscene gets the latter stuck forever in the first scene (because the game accidentally stops the cutscene responder from realising the custom credits cutscene is running). This branch of course makes a fix for that.
See merge request !108
Wall collision fixes
Fixes included in this branch:
* A fix for a specific crash encountered in a SUGOI map (sound familiar?) caused by bouncing off a wall adjacent to a slope
* A fix for solid midtextures not accounting for Effect 3/Peg Midtexture properly (https://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t=41462)
* A fix for solid midtextures not accounting for texture y offsets properly for non-Lower Unpegged/Peg Midtextured midtextures
* A fix for solid midtextures not accounting for "infinite" repeats (Repeat Midtexture + no repeat count set)
* ~~A fix for Effect 4 on Polyobject First Line making that particular linedef's midtexture solid in addition to making planes visible - this is not wanted if you want a polyobject with both visible planes and full intangibility.~~ Apparently they never did this anyway, don't mind me \o/
See merge request !104
Fix non-player objects having busted step-up/down on slopes
Why the fuck did I make this a player conditional in the first place holy shit
See merge request !103
RA menu can be opened if the game is modified, but Start can't be selected. (Obvious reason: so scripts to display info can be used easier)
Fixed the stupid background for messages in the Record Attack menu, it was bugging me
Also, I added more sortscale handling in the places where I forgot it.
I probably need some help with the maths here to get this to work nicely. http://gfycat.com/LimpAgedDowitcher
http://i.imgur.com/UyOKX5u.png <-- this common glitch with crawlas given MF_PAPER (THEY'RE NOT GOOD AT TURNING NEAR EDGES) used to show the behind-crawlas in front of the front-crawlas.
Unfortunately, I've just discovered this issue (which happens with the old version of the sorting code too): http://i.imgur.com/QNjbATB.png but to be fair these crawlas have gotten stuck inside the edges of this platform, so I'm not sure I can do anything about this without cutting off Sonic's feet when he stands on the ground? shrug
* MF_AMBUSH is now MF2_AMBUSH, because it's something you turn on in a map editor, not with a SOC definition.
* Where MF_AMBUSH was is now MF_PAPER.
* MF_PAPER accesses all the stuff I did previously in this branch...
* ...as well as turn on paper-thin collision detection between mobjs, which I've gotten working but isn't perfect but it's still good enough for non-solid objects!!
* recognising that the offsets weren't going to be accurate if you just SWAPPED yscale and yscale2 over 180 degrees
* taking scale into account consistently
also, some optimisations
also, i've sussed out WHAT'S going wrong here - the topleft pixel of the sprite will always be rendered at the height on the screen it would be rendered otherwise, which is causing the waving. now to figure out what to change to get that to move appropriately...
some complicated mathemagic leads to something which... seems CLOSE, but not perfectly accurate, so i think i need to tweak it more
http://gfycat.com/JovialSpitefulAmericancrayfish for current behaviour
I DID make some steps towards re-implementing PIT_CheckThing for solids only in order to replace the hack long-term and hopefully use less CPU, but is currently disabled via #if 0 since I'm not comfortable changing the function signature of P_CheckPosition right now.
If there's any reason to bring the old system back we could make it togglable by one of the linedef flags I suppose. Not that many people would actually use it though, most likely
remove all the places where i've set vis->scalestep to anything other than 0 to see something that LOOKS okay, but doesn't fulfil exactly what i want (that being a sprite that looks exactly like a midtexture)
* Effect 3 (Peg Midtexture) is now accounted for properly, flipping the collision box position to match the actual rendered position of the midtexture
* Fixed incorrect application of y-offsets for non-lower unpegged midtextures collision boxes; +ve always goes up, -ve always goes down!
* Effect 4 now doesn't make midtextures solid for polyobjects at all - this "conflicted" with First Line having both Effect 4 (visible planes) and Effect 3 (intangible) simultaneously, where we kind of expect the first line's wall to not be made solid. This may be less of a problem in future SRB2 versions, but for now solid midtextures for polyobjects are disabled.
. tmthing can be NULL if called from PTR_SlideTraverse, so we should use slidemo instead
This fixes a crash that occurs in yet ANOTHER SUGOI map, involving bouncy walls next to sloped floors/ceilings
To understand: look at AjustSegs(void) in hw_bsp.c. It reallocates the vetex_t pointers for lines as POLYVERTEX_T pointers, and of COURSE things are gonna get wacky when you're casting pointers.
I dunno how resilient the FLOAT_TO_FIXED solution is or whether it'll be netgame compatible (yayyy float precision loss) but it's not like our builds are netgame compatible with themselves
* The NiGHTS drone had a single tic of visibility when you hit the goal, which is evident stepping frame by frame through http://gfycat.com/ComplicatedComposedAoudad (the contents of which may or may not make it into 2.2).
* When completing a NiGHTS stage with a non-zero link, the link could flash up in the final few tics before the fade to black. This just checks for player->exiting to make sure it shouldn't be shown.
* That hacky anti-NiGHTS-deaxisment code I commented out because I thought it was visual only? Reimplemented in a way that is both more and less hacky. It's identical in result to the original code, but takes a roundabout method to get there.
* Sprite references for SUPE, SUPZ and NDRL are removed because they are now unused.
* Helper's flashing conditional is restructured to do less flag swapping.
* The check for super setting FF_FULLBRIGHT is limited to MAXTRANSLATIONS now, and also correctly takes into account MAXSKINCOLORS == SKINCOLOR_SUPERSILVER1.
* NiGHTS collision bounds aren't hardcoded anymore.
* NiGHTS link will never display when leaving stage.
* Slightly tweaked rules for the supercolor setting when doing a NiGHTS transformation, but only meaningful for setting FF_FULLBRIGHT.
* if you can turn SF_SUPER, flash your skin's supercolor, otherwise be your normal color
* if your skin doesn't have a SPR2_NGT0 (horizontal fly), use Sonic's (this will hopefully be replaced by 2.2 with sprites of NiGHTS themselves)
* MT_NIGHTSCHAR made irrelevant, everything follows actor->target instead of actor->target->tracer now
* emerald is now player->mo->tracer instead of player->mo->tracer->target
* nightopian helpers flash for the 35 tics before they disappear
* nights capsule makes boss explosions/noises now (i can change it back i just like it better)
* drill off into the sky instead of fly up in floating pose (but no noise yet)
ALSO:
* default maxdash is now 70
* forgot to add supercolor to lua, it is there now
* SPR2_SMSL renamed to SPR2_SSTN (stun)
* any player with a skincolor that's in the super range is set to FF_FULLBRIGHT at state-set time, so no need to keep super players non-fullbright just because they use spin stuff
OpenGL planes fix
This branch removes a specific hack in the OpenGL code for detecting if a plane is for the floor or ceiling of a sector. This it turns out fixes ceiling slopes in Boinciel's SUGOI map going missing. Though, It doesn't fix that other glitch with one FOF (must be unrelated).
If you want to test these fixes out properly, make sure working in-level sectors, FOFs AND also polyobjects all still work fine, sloped or not.
See merge request !97
Fof slope crash fix
This fixes yet another software renderer crash, this time relating to sloped FOFs: sometimes the renderer thinks parts of FOFs where the top and bottom heights are the same height are actually the bottom going through the top (in other words a negative height). This causes problems when drawing normal walls around such FOFs since the game obviously doesn't expect negative heights anywhere along the FOF - before slopes, the game could just flip around the top and bottom heights automatically with no problems. This branch also should fix crashes for all genuine cases of negative FOF heights when slopes are involved, I suppose.
Hopefully this stops FuriousFox's SUGOI map crashing for the time being, all seemed fine when I tested it out myself.
See merge request !96
* Don't allow arbitrary numbers to be used for a skin's supercolor, only strings.
* Devmode is no fun allowed mode, so turn off the god hyper flash there.
* Several new supercolours.
- SKINCOLOR_SUPERSILVER1-5 (for fun) - "Silver"
- SKINCOLOR_SUPERPERIDOT1-5 (nyeheheh) - "Peridot"
- SKINCOLOR_SUPERCYAN1-5 (for fun) - "Cyan"
- SKINCOLOR_SUPERPURPLE1-5 (for fun) - "Purple"
- SKINCOLOR_SUPERRUST1-5 (mecha/metal sonic) - "Rust"
- SKINCOLOR_SUPERTAN1-5 (shadow/silver the hedgehog) - "Tan"
* SKINCOLOR_SUPER1-5 renamed to SKINCOLOR_SUPERGOLD1-5, one index for darkest is changed - "Gold"
* SKINCOLOR_TSUPER1-5 renamed to SKINCOLOR_SUPERORANGE1-5, ported properly to the new palette - "Orange"
* SKINCOLOR_KSUPER1-5 renamed to SKINCOLOR_SUPERRED1-5, ported properly to the new palette - "Red"
* new S_SKIN attribute - supercolor - uses an entirely different function to get the names (R_GetSuperColorByName instead of R_GetColorByName)
* a fun little secret - typing "god on" in the console whilst super makes the player hyper (visual only, no sparkles - just rainbow flash) - can be removed if no fun is allowed
