For some files that had the Doom Source license attached but saw heavy external contributions over the years I added a special note to license all original ZDoom code under BSD.
This is to ensure that the Class pointer can be set right on creation. ZDoom had always depended on handling this lazily which poses some problems for the VM.
So now there is a variadic Create<classtype> function taking care of that, but to ensure that it gets used, direct access to the new operator has been blocked.
This also neccessitated making DArgs a regular object because they get created before the type system is up. Since the few uses of DArgs are easily controllable this wasn't a big issue.
- did a bit of optimization on the bots' decision making whether to pick up a health item or not.
Both files can now be included independently without causing problems.
This also required moving some inline functions into separate files and splitting off the GC definitions from dobject.h to ensure that r_defs does not need to pull in any part of the object hierarchy.
- cleaned up the virtual function interface of APlayerPawn which still had many virtual declarations from old times when class properties were handled through virtual overrides. None of this makes sense these days anymore.
Needless to say, this is simply too volatile and would require constant active maintenance, not to mention a huge amount of work up front to get going.
It also hid a nasty problem with the Destroy method. Due to the way the garbage collector works, Destroy cannot be exposed to scripts as-is. It may be called from scripts but it may not be overridden from scripts because the garbage collector can call this function after all data needed for calling a scripted override has already been destroyed because if that data is also being collected there is no guarantee that proper order of destruction is observed. So for now Destroy is just a normal native method to scripted classes
* there is a new crushing mode 3, which means that the crusher will always slow down if it hits an obstacle.
* crushing mode 1 (Doom mode) will never slow down.
* crushing mode 0 (compatibility) will only slow down for the specials that did so before, and only if both up and downspeed are 8 and the game is not Hexen. The following specials are affected:
* Ceiling_LowerAndCrush
* Ceiling_LowerAndCrushDist
* Ceiling_CrushAndRaise
* Ceiling_CrushAndRaiseA
* Ceiling_CrushAndRaiseDist
* Ceiling_CrushAndRaiseSilentA
* Ceiling_CrushAndRaiseSilentDist
* Generic_Crusher was fixed to act like in Boom: Not only a speed value of 8 will cause slowdown, but all speed values up to 24.
* Hexen crushing mode will never cause slowdowns because Hexen never did this. (which also makes no real sense, considering that the crusher waits for the obstacle to die.)
- The following Hexen specials all stop 8 units above the floor:
* Ceiling_CrushRaiseAndStay
* Ceiling_CrushAndRaise
* Ceiling_LowerAndCrush
We only and Ceiling_LowerAndCrush correct. Clearly, I should have paid
more attention when the Hexen source was released for the parts that I
had already reverse engineered.
Since Eternity got this it's a good candidate for a potential Super-Boom standard, and it's also useful for silencing a sector temporarily without removing the sound sequence.
This is done to encapsulate the gory details of tag search in one place so that the implementation of multiple tags per sector remains contained to a few isolated spots in the code.
This also moves the special 'tag == 0 -> activate backsector' handling into the iterator class.
