Many uses of random() & value have been turned into random(0, value).
This is not only more efficient, it also ensures better random distribution because the parameter-less variant only returns values between 0 and 255.
This was done to make reviewing easier, again because it is virtually impossible to search for the operators in the code.
Going through this revealed quite a few places where texture animations were on but shouldn't and even more places that did not check PASLVERS, although they were preparing some paletted rendering.
Considering that the physical texture size should be abstracted away from modding this needs to be done differently.
Doing any calculations with physical texture sizes on the mod side is only going to cause errors so this had been changed to always return scaled size.
- disallow bool as a return value for direct native calls because it only sets the lowest 8 bits of the return register.
- changed return type for several functions from bool to int where the return type was the only thing blocking use as direct native call.
This was the last bit of code standing in the way of making AInventory a fully scripted class.
All that's left to sort out is some variable accesses - the vast majority of them in SBARINFO.
- moved the ALTHUDCF parser PClass::StaticInit, so that it gets done right after creating the actor definitions.
All left to do is not to reallocate the AltHud object for each frame but store it in a better suited place.
Instead of overriding the Massacre method it is preferable to clear the flags causing the bad behavior, most notably ISMONSTER.

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.
- offloaded key list generation for alternative HUD to non-UI parts.
This change also revealed a problem with handling empty sprites in the key list so this got fixed, too.
There were still some leftover definitions from FMod and far too many things were at the top level. Anything non-essential has been moved to the "Advanced Sound Options" submenu and the pointless sound backend switch has been removed entirely.
Overriding this would make the engine vulnerable to badly behaving mods. Intercepting this and altering the behavior can render the entire game inoperable, especially if more internal code gets scriptified later. So even at the risk of breaking some carelsss mods this must be blocked.
This was by far the largest block of native virtuals, and they were only native to be able to allow checking if the event was implemented for the current handler. This can easily be done by looking at the byte code, just like VMCall also does but in turn it removes more than half of the existing native virtuals from the interface.
It has been like this initially but was changed when ZDoom gained an overly complicated polymorphic class descriptor object that required a lot of support code. All these complications have long been removed but these methods remained. Since they prevent a class from being moved to the script side entirely they had to be removed.
This was the last major blocker to make Weapon a purely scripted class, the only remaining native method is Serialize which is of no concern for the coming work.
This stuff is now kept locally in the bot code so that it doesn't infest the rest of the engine.
And please don't read the new botsupp.txt file as some new means to configure bots! This was merely done to get this data out of the way.
The bots are still broken beyond repair and virtually unusable, even if proper data is provided for all weapons.
In both cases, having this flag on will render the monster-backing-off-check for melee attacks ineffective because it would misinterpret these weapons as close range only - which they aren't. Even for the PhoenixRod the range is longer than what gets checked here.
As a consequence, the bot's check for missile shooting melee weapons has also become pointless because no such weapon is defined anymore.
Currently used for loading parameters into registers.
For checking parameters of native functions some more work is needed to get the info to the function. Currently it doesn't receive the function descriptor.
This allows retaining the functionality, even if for the JIT compiler's benefit all default arguments are pushed onto the stack instead of reading them from the defaults array.
- Works similarly to CanCollideWith.
- Passive means the caller is trying to be resurrected by 'other'.
- Non-passive means the caller is trying to resurrect 'other'.
* Colors can npw be defined per sidedef, not only per sector.
* Gradients can be selectively disabled or vertically flipped per wall tier.
* Gradients can be clamped to their respective tier, i.e top and bottom of the tier, not the front sector defines where it starts.
The per-wall colors are implemented for hardware and softpoly renderer only, but not for the classic software renderer, because its code is far too scattered to do this efficiently.
- Added a function to the Actor class to get its spawn time relative to the current level.
- Added spawn time information to the output of the "info" console command.
- Uses the same code as Thing_ProjectileIntercept to aim and move the projectile.
- targ: The actor the caller will aim at.
- speed: Used for calculating the new angle/pitch and adjusts the speed accordingly. Default is -1 (current speed).
- aimpitch: If true, aims the pitch in the travelling direction. Default is true.
- oldvel: If true, does not replace the velocity with the specified speed. Default is false.
- Split the code from Thing_ProjectileIntercept and have that function call VelIntercept.
This is by no means perfect and looks different than what was originally intended, but at least this doesn't totally fail to render properly with the OpenGL renderer.
Added full-panning stereo, improvement of channel management, and many other things.
Also, I have implemented an ability to use custom WOPL (for libADLMIDI) and WOPN (for libOPNMIDI) banks from the same path as "soundfonts", but also, in the same environment, the "fm_banks" folder was added for WOPL/WOPN storing purposes.
To toggle usage of embedded or custom bank, I have added togglable booleans. When bank fails to be loaded, the default embedded bank is getting to be used as fallback.

ADL&OPN Hotfix: re-calculated default banks
The fix on side of measurer of OPL3-BE and OPN2-BE where some instruments getting zero releasing time.
Although this doesn't look as good as the PCF version it is a lot less calculation intensive and therefore more suitable for weaker hardware.
It also tends to bleed through walls a lot less.
These were caused by some bogus comment in the original compatibility.txt which erroneously added a "SPAC_PCross" remark to a line which actually set "SPAC_Cross".
RIndexOf returns the index where the substring starts, instead of the index where the substring ends - 1.
Deprecate the LastIndexOf method of StringStruct
These methods do not examine or change playsim state. They only perform math or look at class metadata.
Methods changed are:
• deltaangle
• absangle
• AngleToVector
• RotateVector
• Normalize180
• BobSin
• GetDefaultSpeed
• FindState
• GetDropItems (which changes the scope of the returned struct, but the returned struct is all-readonly anyway)
This reverts commit 8c7d3b6ab8.
With DTA_LegacyRenderStyle being added there is no pressing need for this. Aside from that there's an utterly unhealthy amount of information duplication here and it is missing some more recent additions.
The problem here is that this affects the public scripting interface so it cannot be committed to master without further adjustments.

- new ccmd: vid_setscale <x> <y> [linear] [fake-mcga-4:3] - sets vid_scalemode to 5 with the absolute scaling parameters. example: vid_scalemode 800 600 allows you to see the screen (stretched) as if it were 800x600. Linear specifies whether to force the scaling to be linear in this mode, and "fake-mcga-4:3" is meant for 320x200-like modes that mimic mode13h scaling.
This was done because the backdrop as implemented was the only texture in the entire game that had to be deleted and recreated each frame.
However, with Vulkan this would have necessitated quite a bit of synchronization with the render pipeline which wasn't really feasible just for this one single texture.
Now the texture manager can assume that once a texture was created it will be immutable and never has to change.
MAP07 - Dropping onto the outdoor lava will now raise triangle sectors.
Should be impossible to get stuck in them now.
MAP08 - Fix (what I presume to be an unintentional) missing texture.
With this, one can use its self-replacement code (which copies a bunch of its state into the replacement actor, and monitors for boss death if appropriate), but select the replacement class based on some other criteria (map number, the player's RPG stats, the player's class, etc).
Previously, a RandomSpawner with infinite recursion would hang the game, because the recursion check was happening before the recursion counter (bouncecount) was set.
Why? So mods that reveal enemy names don't show internal monster class names.

Like Linux and macOS this will only support borderless fullscreen in the active desktop resolution now, which is what modern systems need.
The list of discrete resolutions has been removed as it makes no sense anymore with a fixed video mode - all the other scaling options remain active, though.
This removes 3 uniforms, consisting of 9 floats. Those were merged into other values that never get used at the same time.
It also moves the costly setup of the fixed colormap out of the render state into the 2D processing code.
Since 3D forces use of render buffers now, it is no longer necessary to draw the entire scene with the colormap active, meaning it can be handled more efficiently.
The fixed colormap is a per-scene global setting that normally does not need to change ever during rendering of a scene so it's easily shoved aside into a static uniform buffer.
Having to change this buffer for inconsequential stuff should be avoided, especially when there's other uniforms that are just as good to hold these values.
Apparently the shader math is not precise enough to ensure that two supposedly orthogonal vectors are truly orthogonal, resulting in a non-zero dot product
