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).
- SPF_FULLBRIGHT makes the particle full bright.
- SPF_RELATIVE encapsulates the following flags:
- SPF_RELPOS: Position is relative to angle.
- SPF_RELVEL: Velocity is relative to angle.
- SPF_RELACCEL: Acceleration is relative to angle.
- SPF_RELANG: Add caller's angle to angle parameter for relativity.
They were immediately deleted when the associated thinker was destroyed. But this was too early because it missed the final tic of movement, resulting in a visible jump when a moving platform with a player on it came to a halt.
Changed it so that DelRef no longer destroys the interpolation itself. Instead the ::Interpolate method will check if the reference count is 0, and if so and there was no more movement, will then destroy the interpolation.
This ensures that it keeps running until it has interpolated all remaining bits of movement induced by the thinker.
Now moving up a lift is 100% smooth, even with movement interpolation on.
* FInterpolator depended on external references to prevent its content from getting GC'd.
* none of the pointers in the interpolation objects were declared to the GC.
The result of these issues was that changing anything about the life cycle of interpolation objects caused corrupted memory crashes when a level was changed.
- Looking over the code again, I see that discarded SysEx messages can
cause the same issue as unhandled meta events, so generalize the
returning of a NOP for everything.
