Since the SpawnedThings array is still available when polyobjects are spawned it makes no sense to create an expensive linked list in P_SpawnMapThing.
This can be done far better by scanning through the array again and collect all matching items in a second array.
Since actors are being spawned before the renderer gets set up this needs to fully initialize the list before spawning the actors, then take it down again for creating the vertex buffer and then recreate it.
The new specification is more flexible, and allows assigning additive
colors to individual parts of a sector (walls, sprites, flats) and even
individual parts of a side (top, middle, bottom)
Add AdditiveColors arrays to sector_t and side_t::part
Initialize AdditiveColors arrays to 0
Export AdditiveColors to ZScript
Save AdditiveColors in saved game files
Use colors from AdditiveColors arrays when setting the additive color
for the render state
Add code to parse the new UDMF additive color properties
Remove additive color slot from sector color/part enum
Add SetAdditiveColor to sector_t and side_t
Add GetAdditiveColor to side_t
Export new methods and additive color arrays to ZScript
Temple of the Lizardmen 3 has segs lumps in every level that seem to use a different data format and are completely unusable, up to triggering undefined behavior.
Since this function creates dynamic copies for 3D floors that need to be split it requires the vertex buffer index to be set up.
In older versions this did not produce errors because there was a fallback render path that was less efficient.
Now with that fallback removed this resulted in temporary 3D floors being created without valid vertex data.
* it was never saved in savegames, leaving the state of dead bodies undefined
* it shouldn't be subjected to pointer substitution because all it contains is old dead bodies, not live ones.
* 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.
A section is a continuous part of a sector or in some case of several nearby continuous parts. For sectors with far away parts multiple sections will be created, especially when they lie in disjoint parts of the map.
This is mainly supposed to cut down on time for linking dynamic lights. Since they need to traverse subsectors to find all touching sidedefs a more coarse data structure that only contains the info needed for this is more suitable. In particular, this does not contain any intra-sector lines, i.e. those with both sides in the same sector.
- precalculate if a sector's floor and ceiling plane overlap. This avoids rechecking this for each single call of hw_FakeFlat.
- vertices must be marked dirty every time they change after map setup. That means that ChangePlaneTexZ must do this as well, because it cannot rely on interpolation taking care of it.
- Having a 'dirty' argument for SetPlaneTexZ's ZScript version makes no sense. If the value changes from the script side the vertices must always be marked to be recalculated.
This was all over the place, with half of it using the function and half doing incomplete checks on the underlying variables.
Also did some optimization on the IGNOREHEIGHTSEC flag: Putting it on the destination sector instead of the model sector makes the check even simpler and allows to precalculate the effect of 3D floors on the heightsec, which previously had to be run on every call and made the function too complex for inlining.
* use names, not strings, to allow use of switch/case.
* avoid creating the checksum a second time per level.
* do an early-out check for maps that do not have scripted compatibility.
- with renderers freely switchable, some shortcuts in the 3D floor code had to be removed, because now the hardware renderer can get FF_THISINSIDE-flagged 3D floors.
- changed handling of attenuated lights in the legacy renderer to be adjusted when being rendered instead of when being spawned. For the software renderer the light needs to retain its original values.
This does not work with a setup where the same backend is driving both renderers.
Most of this is now routed through 'screen', and the decision between renderers has to be made inside the actual render functions.
The software renderer is still driven by a thin opaque interface to keep it mostly an isolated module.
