This includes:
* allow one sided portal linedefs to be crossable when part of a polyobject. Due to the limitations, two-sided linedefs won't work here. For general use this is still not allowed because making them passable would require some crippling fudging.
* delay portal finalization until after polyobjects have been spawned.
* the camera interpolation also needs to handle angle differences.
The code is still not 100% complete - the most important thing that is still missing is proper handling of P_CheckPosition through arbitrary portals.
- added portal offsetting to all AproxDistance, AngleTo and Vec*To members of AActor.
- optimized displacement retrieval so that the most common case with no offset retrieves a constant null-vector which can be optimized away fully by the compiler.
- early out in P_GetOffsetPosition if there's no portal lines nearby, so that the common case can skip the traverser completely even on maps with line portals.
- made some minor changes to FPathTraverse so that the Add*Intercepts methods can be virtually overridden.
- removed the PortalTracer class because in its existing form it was too costly. Replaced with a P_GetOffsetPosition function that does the minimum required work to get to the translated destination and that's better suited for being called from the Vec*Offset methods. Other use cases will require some changes to FPathTraverse anyway, or some wrapping class like the FMultiBlock iterators.
- some consolidation in p_map.cpp. PIT_CheckLine and PIT_FindFloorCeiling had quite a bit of redundancy which has been merged.
- čontinued work on FMultiBlockLinesIterator. It's still not completely finished.
To summarize, anything that just works with map geometry doesn't need to bother, as does the renderer. (i.e. nearly all r_* files, p_floor.cpp, p_ceiling.cpp et.al)
But all calls that are somehow related to actor positions need to be made aware of potential portal transitions:
* added FloorAtPoint, CeilingAtPoint and PlaneAtPoint methods to sector_t, which can be used to calculate a plane's height with relation to a given actor, even if that actor is on the other side of a portal.
* added HighestCeilingAt and LowestFloorAt methods which traverse all ceiling/floor portals until they find an impassable plane.
* the temporary checking arrays are now static
* the array that gets the returned values only starts allocating memory when the third touched sector group is found. The most common cases (no touched portal and one touched portal) can be handled without accessing the heap.
- did some streamlining of AActor::LinkToSector:
* there's only now version of this function that can handle everything
* moved the FIXMAPTHINGPOS stuff into a separate function.
* removed LinkToWorldForMapThing and put all special handling this function did into P_PointInSectorBuggy.
- improved: If there's an offset mismatch, do not print group numbers as they are utterly meaningless. Instead look for a sector in each group and report those.
- added a copyright notice and some comments to portals.cpp.
This was to resolve some circular dependencies with the portal code.
The most notable changees:
* FTextureID was moved from textures.h to doomtype.h because it is frequently needed in files that don't want to do anything with actual textures.
* split off the parts from p_maputl into a separate header.
* consolidated all blockmap related data into p_blockmap.h
* split off the polyobject parts into po_man.h
* set up linked sector portals so that everything that will eventually have to be considered is present, even though the software renderer currently can't handle those adequately.
* tag all skybox things with a type so that they can easily be distinguished at run time.
* fill in the linked portal types in xlat/eternity.txt.
Please note that these still require the portal to be set up in the map with Line_SetPortal. It will not create a new portal if none exists on any line with the given ID.
* linked portals may never have a z-offset so the parameter for that needs to be ignored.
* for interactive portals, handling z-displacements when some distance calculation reaches through a portal is way too extensive and problematic to ever have a chance of really working. If such a portal gets defined it will be changed to a teleport-only portal and a message printed.
- store portal data in a separate structure.
- store portal data in savegames because some of this will be changeable later.
- run a cleanup pass after all portals have been created to weed out broken ones.
- add a definition type that's compatible with Eternity Engine's line portal types.
- swapped arg[2] and arg[3] of Line_SetPortal, because the type is more significant than the alignment.
- did some cleanup on the portal interface on linedefs: All checks should go through isLinePortal (gameplay related) and isVisualPortal (renderer related) which then can decide on the actual data what to return.
- removed portal_passive because it won't survive the upcoming refactoring.
- removed all direct access to portal members of line_t.
- always use the precise (and fast) version of P_PointOnLineSide inside the renderer.
