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.
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.
Includes:
- Made the move tried from checking missile spawns ignore drop off height. This solves the Voodoo Gun ghostly civilian issue.
- Fixed: the NOTELEPORT flag is removed from Dehacked missiles which lose the MISSILE flag. This caused problems with certain special effects based on dehacked spawn cubes.
- Fixed: all Boom silent teleporters preserve relative height.
- support for palette independent particle colors if the renderer can handle them.
SVN r3329 (trunk)
- added Sector_SetTranslucent special so set translucency of portal planes at run time.
- added 'additive' information for portal planes. This is no-op at the moment because the flat drawers can't handle additive translucency yet though.
SVN r3149 (trunk)
- updated UDMF spec for player class and skill amount because the old menu limits no longer apply.
- fixed: FloorAndCeiling_LowerRaise needs to consider 4 args in maps to account for the Boom compatibility hack parameter.
SVN r3121 (trunk)
- added Polyobj_MoveToSpot action specials. They are functionally identical to Polyobj_MoveTo but get the target coordinate from a map spot instead.
SVN r2503 (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)
- fixed: The sound channel structure should not store the sound table's entries' addresses which are stored in a TArray by pointer. In case the array gets reallocated very bad things can happen. This caused some bad crashes when GZDoom's FraggleScript implementation created new sound entries.
SVN r2114 (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.
SVN r1821 (trunk)
* info CCMD to print extended actor information (not fully implemented yet)
* summonmbf CCMD.
* Beta BFG code pointer (but not the related missiles yet.)
* PowerInvisibility enhancements.
* ScoreItem with one significant change: Added a score variable that can be
checked through ACS and DECORATE. The engine itself will do nothing with it.
* Nailgun option for A_Explode.
* A_PrintBold and A_Log.
* A_SetSpecial.
SVN r1819 (trunk)
unused line argument fields, because these maps could potentially break
in the future if the argument is later assigned a meaning. (Hopefully
all the argument counts in actionspecials.h are accurate. I found a
few that were wrong.)
