Since currently there is only one level, this will obvciously only run once on that level for the time being.
This is mainly used for CCMDs and CVARs which either print some diagnostics or change some user-settable configuration.
This is what should be audible. To prevent other levels from playing sound, all entry points check whether the sound playing entity belongs to the current UI level.
This involves passing the level explicitly to many functions. What was done here may seem a bit excessive but at least it covers everything.
Most importantly, the global ActiveThinker pointer has been moved into FLevelLocals and is now getting tracked properly by the level without using dangerous assumptions about how the game organizes its data.
Unlike the other classes, the places where variables from this class were accessed were quite scattered so there isn't much scriptified code. Instead, most of these places are now using the script variable access methods.
This was the last remaining subclass of AActor, meaning that class Actor can now be opened for user-side extensions.
This should be less of a drag on the playsim than having each light a separate actor. A quick check with ZDCMP2 showed that the light processing time was reduced to 1/3rd from 0.5 ms to 0.17 ms per tic.
It's also one native actor class less.
Since the SpawnedThings array is still available when polyobjects are spawned it makes no sense to create an expensive linked list in P_SpawnMapThing.
This can be done far better by scanning through the array again and collect all matching items in a second array.
NOFRICTION disables all friction effects on the thing it's set on
(including the speed cap from water/crouching), and NOFRICTIONBOUNCE
disables the "bounce off walls on an icy floor" effect on the thing
it's set on.
This did no longer sort sprites in the same position reliably since the feature to render sprites which only partially are inside a sector was added.
With this, sprites in the same position are no longer guaranteed to be added to the render list in sequence.
Fixed by adding an 'order' field to AActor which gets incremented with each spawned actor and reset when a new level is started.
The software renderer will also need a variation of this fix but its data no longer has access to the defining actor when being sorted, so a bit more work is needed here.
Now a child type can decide for itself how to treat 'amount'.
The scripting interfaces to this function in ACS and FraggleScript have been consolidated and also scriptified.
