At least with KDevelop4, macros like this interefere with contextual info by
causing it to show information about the macro itself (where it's defined and
what it defines to), rather than the function (parameters, comments, etc). It
also gets in the way of auto-completion.
As it turned out this has been broken for many, many years, so one can assume that most content using this function depends on this special case not working. I could track it down to at least 2008.
- If the two strings compared both point to the same location in memory,
then we know they are the same string without having to bother actually
comparing their contents. Note that the opposite is not neccessarily
true: If they point to two different locations, they could still match a
case-sensitive comparison because there are still two ACS string tables:
the one that belongs to the map's script and the one that belongs to
everything else.
- some reorganization of texture precaching so that the renderer can decide what to do with actors.
Just marking the sprite textures loses too much info if more is needed than just loading the images into memory.
'give item' stopped working because commit 7b35f32f3d and 6aca7604eb didn't take account that give cheat with zero amount should not touch the item amount.
- FLATSPRITE: An actor becomes flat as if they were a decal on the floor.
- PITCHFLATSPRITE: A flat sprite tilts up and down based on pitch.
- WALLSPRITE: Similar to a Y billboarded sprite. The degree of the flattening is determined by the FlatAngle property.
- ROLLSPRITE: The sprite of the actor is affected by the Roll property.
Ideally the warping shouldn't be a property of the texture class itself but an effect processor that can get added to a texture. Unfortunately the current setup will not allow this, requiring some significant refactoring of texture access first.
Since decals may have thinkers attached this will crash when such a savegame gets loaded, because the thinker lists get reset in P_SerializeThinkers, deleting any thinker that already was processed.
I also added an error message that immediately aborts the save process if such an out-of-sequence thinker is attempted to be written out.
This obviously breaks savegame compatibility again...
