A big problem with this function was that some flags required setting up some variables before calling it and others did not. It will now set everything up itself so all initializations to AActor::floorz and ceilingz that were made before these calls (which were all identical to begin with) could be removed and the internal initialization logic streamlined.
- removed Plane/Floor/CeilingAtPoint functions because they are overkill for the problem they were meant to solve. Calling ZatPoint with adjusted coordinates created with AActor::PosRelative is just as easy in the few places where this is needed.
- made P_HitWater and P_CheckSplash portal aware.
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.
- 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.
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.
