It is utterly pointless to require every function that wants to make a VM call to allocate a new stack first. The allocation overhead doubles the time to set up the call.
With one stack, previously allocated memory can be reused. The only important thing is, if this ever gets used in a multithreaded environment to have the stack being declared as thread_local, although for ZDoom this is of no consequence.
- eliminated all cases where native code was calling other native code through the VM interface. After scriptifying the game code, only 5 places were left which were quickly eliminated. This was mostly to ensure that the native VM function parameters do not need to be propagated further than absolutely necessary.
- moved health items to their own file.
- scriptified ScoreItem and MapRevealer whose entire functionality was a small TryPickup method.
- fixed: bit fields in global variables were not correctly written.
This should conclude the inventory cleanup. It is now possible again to find things in there.
- cleaned up the virtual function interface of APlayerPawn which still had many virtual declarations from old times when class properties were handled through virtual overrides. None of this makes sense these days anymore.
- refactored the ModifyDamage interface to be more scripting friendly.
In general it should be avoided having to call directly into chained inventory functions because they are very problematic and prone to errors. So this got wrapped into a single handler (on AActor, not AInventory!) which will later make it easier to refactor the parameters of ModifyDamage to work better for scripting and avoid the chaining.
Interesting tidbit: The damage calculation in P_MinotaurSlam had been incorrect for the Heretic version since the friendly Hexen Dark Servant was added, but nobody ever noticed in 14 years...
Needless to say, this is simply too volatile and would require constant active maintenance, not to mention a huge amount of work up front to get going.
It also hid a nasty problem with the Destroy method. Due to the way the garbage collector works, Destroy cannot be exposed to scripts as-is. It may be called from scripts but it may not be overridden from scripts because the garbage collector can call this function after all data needed for calling a scripted override has already been destroyed because if that data is also being collected there is no guarantee that proper order of destruction is observed. So for now Destroy is just a normal native method to scripted classes
- swapped parameters of two-parameter VelToAngle method, so that internal and script version are in line.
- fixed parameter asserts to handle NULL pointers properly.
- removed 'self' as a dedicated token. Internally this gets handled as a normal but implicitly named variable so the token just gets in the way of proper processing.
- removed P_ prefix from SpawnMissile export.
- fixed a crash with misnamed function exports.
This is different from the original "Death Scripts" idea. This tackles
some issues I've found with the original idea (now you can have as many
scripts as you want, not just global and actor-defined). Also takes care
of other complaints about the original idea and push request. Flags and
their use are in code comments.
- replaced some uses of FRACUNIT with OPAQUE when it was about translucency.
- simplified some overly complicated translucency multiplications in the SBARINFO code.
- Converted P_MovePlayer and all associated variables to floating point because this wasn't working well with a mixture between float and fixed.
Like the angle commit this has just been patched up to compile, the bulk of work is yet to be done.
To allow processing the hit through an arbitrary portal without reference to the portal group table, P_AimLineAttack and P_LineAttack need to pass some more info than just the linetarget.
We need the relative positions of shooter and target within the visual reference of the other to calculate proper angles and we need to know if such a portal was crossed at all, because a few things, e.g. seeker missiles won't work with them.
- fixed setup of target acquisition for the Mage Staff.
The pre-acquired seeker target was never passed to the spawned projectiles.
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
With late resolving it cannot be guaranteed at this point and caused some incorrectly compiled code. Since the cast gets optimized away anyway when not needed there's no point being this selective with applying it.
- 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.
- Added 'threshold' and 'defthreshold' to DECORATE expression exposure.
- ChaseThreshold sets the default threshold for how long a monster must chase one target before it can switch targets. Default is 100, must not be negative.
- A_SetChaseThreshold can be used to alter the current or default threshold of an actor <pointer>.
- Changing current threshold has no effect on what the default will be once it hits 0 and something makes it infight with another.
- This only affects damage calculations being received by the end result. If the original damage was not a million or more, from the start, it will not hurt invulnerable-flagged or kill buddha-flagged monsters.
- Fixed: Damage was inconsistent by the time the function checked for player cheats/invulnerability and (monster and player) buddha, yet monster invulnerability checked the original damage prior to factor processing. This means a damage source that intended to damage another below the threshold could accidentally increase with a powerdamage multiplier or the recipient with a weakness for it, resulting in invulnerability/buddha foiling. Now, checks for telefrag damage using the raw original value on player godmode, player/monster invulnerability and buddha.
Introduce AActor::TakeInventory, which unifies DoTakeInv from ACS and DoTakeInventory from Decorate, and AInventory::DepleteOrDestroy, which is extracted from the DoTakeInv core function, and use both where they're needed.
I don't know if the differences between DoTakeInv and DoTakeInventory were intentional, so I kept both behaviors.
- changed monster unblocking logic to include players as well (i.e. a player being stuck inside another actor is allowed to move away from that other actor.)
* decided that the pain threshold should always be checked against the actual damage, even if it's down to 0, for consistency. This also restores the original behavior of using actual damage for checking the pain threshold which was altered by the introduction of the ALLOWPAIN and CAUSEPAIN flags.
* removed all newly added exceptions that excluded the player from checks for completely cancelled out damage.
* if anything during damage modification causes negative damage, no pain handling whatsoever will be initiated.
* made sure that TELEFRAG_DAMAGE will not be subjected to damage amount modification by protection items and any other kind of damage modification.

- Added register reuse to VMFunctionBuilder for FxPick's code emitter.
- Note to self: Need to reimplement IsPointerEqual and CheckClass, which
were added to thingdef_function.cpp over the past year, as this file no
longer exists in this branch.
-Fixed: ALLOWPAIN should not trigger pain states if the damage is 0, but still allow for infighting to occur.
-Fixed: an unneeded logic call was processing damage modification when it was 0 to begin with.
Monsters with this flag can enter pain states, regardless of
invulnerability or damage absorption.
- Fixed: god2 cheat wasn't being considered for drowning and thrusting.
Actors will be excluded from damage/radius thrusting of all sorts by
explosions or damage of any kind. They will also never deal impact
damage to other enemies, nor will they damage themselves from being too
close to a wall.
