This allows proper dimensions in the stock menus and should make menu layout for mods a lot easier because coordinates are more predictable than with the clean factors.
The feature is opt-in for custom content. As long as only stock elements are used, the menu will be able to switch between both on its own, but as soon as custom classes or custom elements are used, the virtual size must be declared explicitly, defaulting to clean scaling.
In this mode the clean scaling factors are ignored and content is always scaled to fit the screen as efficently as possible.
For the default summary screens an option was added to use this mode, which is a lot closer to the original look of this screen.
It is not 100% identical because it still factors in the author, if given and long level names that may be broken into multiple lines of text.
The background size wasn't taken into account for the splats and the widescreen check never verified the height of the background image.
It will now unconditionally use the new widescreen expansion mode for everything to reduce problems, use the background's display size for positioning overlays and only in the case of 200 pixel tall images perform widescreen positioning adjustment.
* a few shorter fields were moved into alignment gaps
* the visible angles are now stored as floats. Since these are only used for rendering the loss of precision is negligible, but this shortens AActor by 16 bytes alone.
Sensitivity scaling of both axes is now exposed as a raw factor to the user instead of obscuring it behind an unclear 'prescale' boolean.
This also consolidates the coordinate processing code to prevent such discrepancies as were present here from happening again.
Migration code for old config settings is present so that this change does not affect existing configurations.
Sound stopping was done in the wrong place - this killed the sound before they could be serialized for hub travel.
The sound may only be stopped *after* calling G_DoCompleted.
This reverts commit 8fc9f1e5ef.
As I already feared, this does not work right. The entire linking/unlinking code is simply too fragile. So no protection here against inept tinkering.
(for some reason it was unable to figure out the overrides for 'lumpname' in the function g_level.cpp/CalcMapName, even though this is a very old function)
- DirectInput axes are now X first, Y second.
- Menu axes controls swapped/fixed.
- Added SDL DualShock3 buttons in menu actions.
- Fixed SDL mouse system cursor; it could appear in-game.
This is the last parameter for A_RadiusThrust() DECORATE function.
If it is omitted or none, then A_RadiusThrust will behave as usual.
If it is set for some species name, it witt thrust only that species.
Of course, these species should be +VULNERABLE to be thrustable.
* support for SSI container format - this is an obscure format used by a few Duke Nukem mods - added to have this subsystem identical between both engines.
* removed some dead wrapper code
* made the Open methods local to their implementations, this was never called virtually.
* new texture format: ANM - this reads the first frame of a Build-ANM movie as a texture.
* some preparations for indexed (paletted) rendering.
* optimization of the patch texture checker - do not read in the entire file if checking the initial header is sufficient for rejecting it.
* removed refreshFreq variable and related code. This only got into the backend because of stupid interpolation code in some of the Build games which has long been removed.
* save FixedBitArrays as base64 in savegames.
* allow indirections in the string table - by prefixing the language string with '$$' the remaining text is interpreted as another string label to resolve.
* constexpr in palette code, also replacing #defines with enums.
Backported from Raze - without this there is no way to implement sounds that can unload themselves, because the existing ChannelEnded function is called when the sound is still active.
If the loader is allowed to go on, these objects will be linked into game structures and may do unpredictable things before the loader has a chance to abort at the end.
Some people apparently have to toy around with the engine's innards without fully understanding them. :(
When properly used the saveguards should never be triggered.
* Add FALLDAMAGE flag and add property to properly apply falling damage to the monsters
* Change name of propermonsterdamage property to propermonsterfallingdamage
It's possible for an actor to call Destroy() in a ZScript method (such
as Tick()) and then subsequently call A_StartSound() to play a sound.
Generally speaking this doesn't happen within a given class, but with a
class hierarchy, Destroy() may be called unbeknownst to a mod developer.
Even though checking bDestroyed is likely good practice, this ensures
that sounds won't be started on actors flagged for cleanup.
- If the hint text portion of a STRINGS lump entry begins with a '$', the value is treated as a string table lookup

Replaced explicit save of configuration file, which doesn't work after recent backend refactoring, with passing of CVARs we need to store to a new GZDoom process

It's not obvious where we can reset blocking line in a more generic way, and whether it's possible at all, because this member is exposed to scripting

* Added ViewAngle/Pitch/Roll properties to actors.
- These are offsets for camera angles that allow turning the camera without affecting aim or movement direction.
- Added A_SetView<Angle/Pitch/Roll>, which will set the view direction.
- Added ABSVIEWANGLES flag, used to make the view absolute instead of an offset.
* Converted functions to be direct-native.
* Simplified some stuff, made up-to-date
* Dealt with DST problems
* Made SystemTime.Format clearscope, as there is no reason for this function to be limited to the ui
- If the actor passed into the function has THRUACTORS, PIT_CheckThing won't be called anymore.
- Moved THRUACTORS check to just under the self clipping check in PIT_CheckThing.
Bogus pointers and offsets were serialized silently
This will to find other cases of dangling pointers, and protect from loading of broken saved games

Inventory items had dangling floor and ceiling sector pointers after transition to a new level
This could cause random issues with serialization

This is a quick fix for an error in which Animated Doors crash the game by trying to check "actor->player" when "actor" itself is NULL. Deleting the check entirely also worked, but I worried it might be there for some higher-level scripting reason. This just puts in a check to make sure actor isn't NULL before checking actor->player, and keeps the behavior in that case the same.
I think this was happening because I had doors being opened by projectiles (like in Metroid) which were being despawned into NULL pointers when they hit the doors, as this was an issue when initially programming said doors..
- 1: The missile will continue moving through the actor, and it's down to the modder to handle bouncing.
- 0: The missile will explode.
- Any other value will process a bouncing actor as normally done in the engine.

- Sets the direct pitch of the sound to the specific float. Default is 0.0, meaning do not set a specific pitch. Regular pitch is 1.0.
- Only works for direct sound definitions.

* 0: previous behavior (completely MAPINFO controlled)
* 1: always show level tally at the end of an episode
* 2: always show level tally even when changing levels within a hub
With introduction of localization support, several strings are no longer identical to the original messages
Double spaces were removed, and letter case was changed
The latter is already handled, extra whitespaces are now deleted to deal with the former

Negative coordinates are treated as "disable scissor", so if some transformation results in something off-screen it needs to be handled before passing it to the backend.
The option effectively disables per frame mouse checks.
The motivation to add it was that many wireless mice 10-15 years ago had update rates of less than 35Hz, and on these it was necessary to sync mouse input with the playsim to properly interpolate between updates.
Today this is totally useless and even counterproductive because modern mice have significantly higher update rates, so this option no longer smoothes things but instead makes the mouse feel more choppy.
The code assumed that the alpha channel is empty, but at this point it already contains the base palette's transparency info and needs to be masked out when using it differently.
