They are attached and actived explicitly during usual actor initialization sequence
Postponed processing applicable to so called user dynamic lights must be skipped for them
RECREATELIGHTS flag handling for dynamic light actors had the opposite effect of deactivating them
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=65683
Rationale:
When a mod adds a custom option menu, it adds a space before it, like this:
```
AddOptionMenu OptionsMenu
{
StaticText ""
Submenu "$MYTITLE", MyOptions
}
```
to prevent custom option menu being in the same block as the last entries in the
standard options list. It's okay.
But when more than one such mod is loaded, each one of them adds a space before
their option menu entry, and Options Menu becomes unnecessary bloated.
This simple edit allows mods to not add a space, still be separated from
standard options.
* Fix issues in ILLUSORY/ilusory1
Added some compatibility patches for Illusions of Home E1M6, E3M4, and E3M7 (this fixes minor issues to all of these maps)
E1M8 requires a MAPINFO of some sort to have work correctly in the state it's in, unfortunately.
* Minor tweak to ILLUSORY/ilusory1 fix
Didn't need the activation reset as it was already set to begin with.
* Made the fixes consistent
Made the fixes consistent with the rest of the fixes for the other WADs already in this file

This was one of that annoying old design mistakes where Doom and Heretic features were poorly merged together. The Heretic Gargoyle uses very similar coding but performs a subtly different action when actually hitting another actor. This different action was made the default, even for the Lost Soul.
It has now been changed that both monsters use their original action, being distinguished by an actor flag. For compatibility with custom definitions Heretic's behavior, which has been the default in ZDoom will be the preferred one. The one of the Lost Soul can be reactivated by a flag.
Most importantly, specifying a patch may optionally disallow showing the autor's name - this is for cases where a styled patch gets used for English but text-based translations of the map name should still be possible.
This looks a lot better. Unfortunately for the regular SmallFont this would severely reduce the available space for the text so it isn't done here, even though for shorter texts the formatting would look better as well.
Duration of sound playback and subtitles display will be synchronized if sound id is specified
For existing Strife messages this works out of the box
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=65379
* the Doom status bar has been partially virtualized to allow overriding specific parts of it, most notably the ammo display
* the internal Harmony status bar has been removed because it only works with the now disabled Dehacked patch.
* the SBARINFO definition has been removed, instead it uses a ZScript-based status bar now which overrides the ammo display to use the new ammo types instead.
Exit_Normal and Exit_Secret specials imply addition conditions to make a decision about proceeding to the next map
A few scriptified actors require a bypass of these conditions in order to work properly

* - Added support for monospacing alignment modes to HUDFont / BaseStatusBar.DrawString
* - added underlying type declaration for EMonospacing
* - replaced "#include v_video.h" with a declaration of EMonospacing
This deprecated CharAt and CharCodeAt for being unsuitable for text processing and in the case of CharCodeAt also for being buggy.
A new replacement, ByteAt has been added that reads a string byte by byte, as well as CodePointCount, which counts the amount of Unicode code points in a string and GetNextCodePoint which reads the string code point by code point.
Note that while this woll work as intended with the currently supported languages as a means to read single characters, there is no guarantee that this will remain so if Unicode support gets extended to things which break the "one code point == one character" assumption.
This was meant for using the VGA font in the alternative HUD but this never went beyond the Kill/Item/Secret display which isn't useful for localization.
Some reorganization to avoid code duplication plus making the log screen capable of using the generic font. This also means that the popup for the log in Strife's status bar will be disabled when in generic mode - this popup with its special font would be a bit problematic.
There are two options here - one only disables the vertical thrust and the other goes back fully to the original non-z-aware code.
Both options are settable through MAPINFO.
For the compatibility presets, the normal ones only disable the vertical thrust, the strict ones force use of the old code entirely.
This was yet another piece of code that essentially was unworkable thanks to the limited screen space with the old bitmap fonts.
With the new font there is enough screen space to do this properly.
This has to be set in the console, the default is still the regular small font. Mainly added because some mods have really hard to read fonts where it is not easy to decipher the numbers.
1. Top-level menu names are now properly handled.
2. Changing "Any or All terms" option now immediately updates the results.
3. Reformatted menu.zs to have tabs instead of spaces.
The most important one is the autosave tagging. This was done because the old printout was missing the year and printed the month as a 3 character English string, sabotaging any attempt to sort the autosaves by anything meaningful.
Parts of this menu suffered badly from lack of screen space to convey the intended information due to the oversized fonts. With the new font this is a lot less problematic (unless using 320x200, of course)
* added a CVAR that sets how localizable graphics need to be dealt with.
* pass the substitution string to OkForLocalization so that proper checks can be performed.
* increased item spacing on Doom's list menus to 18 from 16 pixels, because otherwise the diacritic letters would not fit. 20 would have been more ideal but 18 was the limit without compromising its visual style
* added a second text-only main menu because here the spacing cannot be changed. Doing so would render any single-patch main menu non-functional. So here the rules are that if substitution takes place, it will swap out the entire menu class.
* fixed some issues with the summary screen's "entering" and "finished" graphics.
Passing something non-constant at compile time here is extremely dangerous, especially when users can replace those strings if they like.
It now uses FString::Substitute in all cases where something needs to be inserted into a template string.
* entering a savegame description did not work anymore
* the length check was too restrictive and always underestimated the available space
* use the console font for entering a savegame description. This has more characters and better contrast for this content.
* the interface to the text enterer used bad measurements.
For the Doom IWADs the provided font looks almost identical to the characters used on the title patches. So, for any level name that got replaced in some language, it will now check if the retrieved name comes from the default table, and if not, ignore the title patch and print the name with the specified font.
This also required removing the 'en' label from the default table, because with this present, the text would always be picked from 'en' instead of 'default'. Since 'en' and 'default' had the same contents, in any English locale the 'default' table was never hit, so this won't make any difference for the texts being chosen.
Last but not least, wminfo has been made a local variable in G_DoCompleted. There were two places where this was accessed from outside the summary screen or its setup code, and both were incorrect.
This was broken by several small unicode-incompatible code fragments.
This commit also removes the input limit for the player name and the savegame description. With multibyte encoding, limiting them to a fixed length did not work right.
Currently these will just overflow the fields if the text becomes too long, this needs some additional work.
The script side cannot do anything useful with this, because most actions require parameters in global variables, so this is a first grade candidate for rogue mods to make the engine misbehave.
One sector in an underwater area of KDIZD Z1M3 got tagged with an incorrect Transfer_Heights effect which caused render glitches in that area.
There were also a few AddSectorTag calls without first clearing the sector's tags leading to potentially undefined behavior.
The text file
gzdoom/wadsrc/static/zscript/statscreen/statscreen.txt
is set to use strings called “$ENTERING” and “$FINISHED”, located in the language files, in intermission screens between levels in Heretic. However, these strings are named incorrectly in the language files, instead being written as “$WI_ENTERING” and “$WI_FINISHED” for some reason I’m unaware of. After renaming the original script, the ingame text shows up through what is written in the language files, as intended.
On a miscellaneous note: in GZDoom, the text between levels in Heretic says “Entering:”. In the DOS version, it says “Now entering:”. This is accurately reflected in the English language file, though, and thus faithful to the original when displayed ingame.
currentUILevel is now primaryLevel.
For ZScript, currentVMLevel was added. This is also exported as 'level' and will change as needed.
This also means that no breaking deprecations will be needed in the future, because in order to sandbox a level only 4 variables need to be handled: level, players, playeringame and consoleplayer.
The remaining global variables are not relevant for the level state.
The static 'level' has been mostly removed from the code except some places that still need work.
- Allows defining of what actor is replacing another for information.
- If multiple arachnotrons, a modder can attribute them as being a replacer of Arachnotron itself, allowing A_BossDeath and GetReplacee to work with it.
This was always used with 'consoleplayer' which really is the only thing making sense here. But this is a part of the global state which should be avoided in play code.
In particular, this makes no real sense in case of secondary maps where it should always return false.
All these required access to the sector's Level reference.
The remaining references to the global 'level' variable are all in deprecated functions which is ok.
LevelLocals on the left side of.a function call will now always be remapped to 'Level', which will either remap to the same-named instance variable or the global deprecated one.
In a few degenerate cases where there is a conflicting local variable named 'level' it may error out but that is unavoidable here but this is very unlikely.
This had two different flags that were checked totally inconsistently, and one was not even saved.
Moved everything into a few subfunctions so that these checks do not have to be scattered all over the code.
UI always runs on the primary level, so this does not need the ability to operate on multiple levels. Additionally, this can later be set to null when running play code so that scope violations result in an abort.
When player is picked up item that does morph, the corresponding toucher actor is changed in process
Previously, morhing item was removed from original actor leaving player's inventory in inconsistent state
https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=63124
Unlike the other classes, the places where variables from this class were accessed were quite scattered so there isn't much scriptified code. Instead, most of these places are now using the script variable access methods.
This was the last remaining subclass of AActor, meaning that class Actor can now be opened for user-side extensions.
This was the only code using the ViewBob member variable.
This also moves the range check for this variable to its application, because a badly behaved mod can just as easily change it at run time instead of just setting an absurdly large value in the class definition.
The current behaviour offsets to the front of the actor rather than the side, due to an oversight in the code, which oddly is not present in the A_FireBullets equivalent.
This should be less of a drag on the playsim than having each light a separate actor. A quick check with ZDCMP2 showed that the light processing time was reduced to 1/3rd from 0.5 ms to 0.17 ms per tic.
It's also one native actor class less.
The loop never checked if the item was still valid and would continue to try to use it, even after it was removed from the inventory and destroyed.
As native code this just failed silently, but with the VM it needs to be explicitly checked.

- One exception: PainThrehold is only checked in ReactToDamage, since this function does not require checking damage amount.
Unlike everything else from the IWADs this had to use the 'light' keyword in ZScript because this is merely a base class for many others and the light definitions here need to be inheritable.
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.
