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.
- Cleared some GCC and Clang warnings. Mostly static analysis false positives, but one of them generated a pretty massive warning in a release build.
- Use -Wno-unused-result since I doubt we're going to address those unless they actually prove to be a problem (and they only appear in release builds).
- major overhaul of the static sector damage system:
* consolidated special based damage, Sector_SetDamage and UDMF properties into one set of damage properties. The parallel handling that could lead to double damage infliction was removed. This also means that damage through sector specials can be retroactively changed through Sector_SetDamage.
* all special cases were turned into flags. The new system can switch between Strife's delayed damage and regular damage, and it can also set whether terrain splashes are used or not. It also has access to the special properties of the end-level type (i.e. switching off god mode and ending the level.)
* the damage related flags are accessible through Sector_ChangeFlags, not the damage functions themselves.
- 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.
- fixed: Sector_SetPortal's Eternity translation was not correct.
The ZDoom variant allows specifying the plane as part of the portal, Eternity does not. Added a new 'plane' type 3 which just means 'any'.
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'.
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.

- Added register reuse to VMFunctionBuilder for FxPick's code emitter.
- Note to self: Need to reimplement IsPointerEqual and CheckClass, which
were added to thingdef_function.cpp over the past year, as this file no
longer exists in this branch.
compat_useblocking. This is not going to be extended to all specials that spawn a thinker at
load time, because some of them can be placed on a line later using SetLineSpecial and used
directly.
SVN r4037 (trunk)
- added DECORATE properties for accuracy and stamina.
- Since these changes move properties from player_t to AActor all savegame compatibility code was removed and the min. savegame version bumped.

* By pressing request, allow Linux users to build ZDoom with an FMOD version that doesn't give them 3D sound positioning. :p
* Fixed severe copy-pasta portal copy bug.
* 3D floors hidden by being moved above the ceiling or below the floor will no longer show in the automap.
* Reject TEXTURES scale of 0. They'd do nothing but provoke a division by zero error.
* Maybe fixed Linux compilation?
SVN r3297 (trunk)
- merged all places where secrets are credited into one common function.
- added the Doom64 COUNTSECRET actor flag.
- fixed: AInventory::CreateCopy did not clear the COUNTITEM flag.
- fixed: Dropping an item did not increase the item count but the dropped item could still have the COUNTITEM flag. Now this flag gets cleared when the item gets picked up so that dropped items don't count a second time.
SVN r2826 (trunk)
- extended compatibility text to allow changing line flags and setting line specials on specific linedefs.
- removed Strain MAP07 hack and replaced it by a clean 'clearlineflags' option.
- Added Doomo format translations for Sector_CopyScroller because this looks like something that might be useful for making
some Boom maps work without having to resort to compatibility.txt.
- added a compatibility setting for UAC Ultra MAP07 which exploited some undefined scrolling behavior in Boom.
(What lengths are we going to make sloppily created maps work? This entire commit was just to address this particular problem...)
SVN r2280 (trunk)
because it exposed a design flaw in the thinker system:
Having every single actor default to the highest available statnum means that
nothing can be placed in a slot where it is guaranteed to be run after all actors
have ticked. But this is required for any thinker that moves an actor
(i.e. AActorMover and DSectorEffect.) With DSectorEffect it just went unnoticed
because they were added at the end of the list so almost nothing they moved was
behind them in a thinker list. However, when an actor was spawned on a moving
floor it did not move smoothly. The default statnum is now 100 so that there's
sufficient slots above where such thinkers can be placed.

a mild performance increase it's not what I hoped it would do...
- Moved portal initialization for the portal things to P_SpawnSpecials
instead of having the things self-initialize in PostBeginPlay. This was
done to ensure that the portals are fully set up when the game begins.
Otherwise there is no decent way to let the renderer post-process this
information during setup.
- Changed: For 800x600 the default scaling handling of the options menu
makes it become too small so for any resolution with a width between
800 and 959 it has been reverted to the regular clean scaling factor.
SVN r2055 (trunk)
unsigned integer that can use all 32 bits. They must therefore use
the unsigned mul instruction rather than the signed imul instruction.
- Fixed several signed/unsigned comparison and possibly uninitialized
variable warnings flagged by GCC.
SVN r1965 (trunk)
- Added more things from Gez's experimental build:
* MBF grenade and bouncing code.
* Arch Vile ghosts emulation (only for compatibility.txt.)
* Several MBF related compatibility options.
