The old code went through a list of predefined file names and looked each of them up in a list of predefined directories until it found a match. This made it nearly impossible to add custom IWAD support because the list of valid file names could not be extended.
This has now been switched around to run a scan for matching files on each given directory. With this approach it can look for *.iwad and *.ipk3 as IWAD extensions as well and read an IWADINFO out of these files that can be added to the internal list of IWADs, making it finally possible to define custom IWADs without having to add them to the internal list.
(This isn't fully tested yet so some errors may still occur.)
* all new things got either an sctor definition or are explicitly deleted through the 'doomednums' section in MAPINFO. CTC related actors are non-functional!
* added a 'noskillflags' option to 'doomednums' so that the lightmap definition things in the maps can be repurposed as dynamic lights.
* added the new dagger powerup.
* added MAPINFO entries for the added maps.
Both 'Adventures of Square' IWADs were missing an entry for base MAPINFO and as a result did not define the common editor numbers.
To prevent this, a new mindefaults MAPINFO was added to zdoom.pk3 which now gets loaded if IWADINFO does not specify a game-specific file.
This minimum setting sets all gamedefaults to a reasonable base value and defines all other things that are required to be defined.
* add new Autoname "HereticSR" for Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders.
* add missing CreateSectionAtStart() calls for Chex1, HereticSR,
Freedoom2, DoomBFG and Doom2BFG.
* remove Autoname "HexenDemo" because shareware games do not allow
loading any custom content.
- Added freedoom2.wad as valid alias name (freedoom1.wad already
existed).
- Renamed titles to Freedoom: Phase 1 and Freedoom: Phase 2.
- Reordered to put Phase 1 above Phase 2 in the IWAD picker.
* Fixed possible crash when texture for menu item patch cannot be loaded. (From Alexey's Mac OS X port.)
* Fixed iwadinfo.txt definitions of Hexen and Freedoom demos (also from Alexey's port.)
* Added missing LOF_NOJUMP definition.
