The reason for defining them is to be able to fill out the Eternity translation table for GZDoom's Extradata parser.
Most of the new specials are mere specializations of ZDoom's Generic_* functions and occupy positions above 255 to avoid filling up the last remaining free slots available for Hexen format maps.
Allowing action specials greater than 255 required a few changes:
* all access to action specials is now through a small set of access functions.
* Two new PCodes were added to ACC to handle these new specials from scripts.
* a minor change to the network protocol, so netgame and demo version numbers were bumped.
* FS_Execute is now properly defined in p_lnspec.cpp.
Two of the newly added specials - generalizations of the special 'close Door in 30 seconds' and 'raise door in 5 minutes' sector types, will also be available to Hexen format maps. The rest are limited to use in ACS, UDMF and DECORATE.
This also adds 'change' and 'crush' parameters to most Floor_* and Ceiling_* specials, again to match Eternity's feature set.
'ceilingterrain' is needed because the top of 3D-floors refers to the model sector's ceiling, so in order to give a 3D floor a terrain it must be assignable to the sector's ceiling.
Note that although it is basically the same property, its actual function bears no relevance to its use in Eternity.
- moved sector secret information from sector_t::special and secretsector to two flag bits in sector_t::Flags.
This is to get rid of the bit masking madness in the floor/ceiling thinkers which need to preserve this bit when they change a sector's type.
Tags are now handled by a tag manager class which stores sector/tag pairs. This way multiple entries can be added per sector.
Since UDMF does not have any arrays the additional tags are stored as a space separated string as 'MoreIDs'.
- Move MUSINFO change request out of FLevelLocals and into player_t. This
allows the MusicChanger actors to change music for each player
independantly. This is similar to PrBoom+, which switches depending on
the displayplayer. The difference being, we don't actually track the
music other players are listening to. (Which might not be a bad idea to
implement at some point.)
- Moved a few fields in player_t for better packing.
- Squashed commit of the following:

More sine quake fixes

Added QF_WAVE to A_QuakeEx.
- Changes the random quakes into a sine wave (see Shadow Warrior/Rise of the Triad reboots, Hard Reset, etc.)
- Added 3 properties to control waves per second along each individual axis. Only works with QF_WAVE.
- Intensity X/Y/Z property becomes the amplitude of the wave.
- Stacks with regular quakes, allowing shaking along the camera which must be called using A_QuakeEx WITHOUT the flag, or the other quaking functions.
- Uses the youngest quake's time for positioning.

Some more progress, but...
- This did not solve anything. In fact, it did the opposite -- completely broke wave quakes. Now they only happen whenever a random quake is in progress.
- Left in the commented code on purpose so Randi can test it.

QF_WAVE renamed from SINE.
- Lots of ground covered, but still more to go.
- Still need to figure out how to make the camera properly shudder.
commit 427e4893193470bbf45415ffec70a0b69b8cccfd
Author: MajorCooke <paul.growney22@gmail.com>
Date: Sun Feb 22 16:52:30 2015 -0600
- Begin the groundworks for QF_SINE.
- Need to figure out how to rework and manipulate the sine wave to move faster, and to allow going below 0 without breaking it too much.
- Relative quakes are different from other quakes; all quakes affecting
the camera do not become relative if one of them is relative.
- Use a single function call to get quake visual parameters instead of four.
- Thrust things in a psuedo-ellipse if they're inside a damaging quake whose
IntensityX != IntensityY.
- Don't break old savegames.
- Rippers will rip through anything with an equivalent ripper level, or if their level is between or on the min and max ranges.
- If no min or max is defined, it simply checks if the monster's ripper level is lower than the missiles.
- Functions: A_SetRipperLevel(int level), A_SetRipMin(int min), A_SetRipMax(int max)
- Properties: RipperLevel, RipLevelMin, and RipLevelMax.
- RipperLevel: Applicable to monsters and projectiles.
- RipLevelMin and RipLevelMax are only useful on monsters.
- By default, all are 0.
The 'unix' identifier isn't defined when '-std' is passed to the compiler (tested with gcc and clang), so use '__unix__' which is well enough documented.
- fixed: DamageTypeReceived was not serialized.
- fixed: The check for unhandled damage type was rendered ineffective by the old code handling the DeathType.
- Use functions in gitinfo.cpp to retrieve the strings from gitinfo.h so
that changes to gitinfo.h only require recompiling one file instead of
several.
