- Crashes occurred if a particular actor was a tracer to the player and the actor was not gone by the time the player unmorphs.
- Failed unmorphs occur if tracer was manipulated through means like A_RearrangePointers, etc.
- Includes four functions, A_SetSprite(Angle/Rotation) and GetSprite(Angle/Rotation).
- SpriteRotation offsets the angle of the sprite, allowing for actors to move backwards or sideways for example.
- SpriteAngle requires +SPRITEANGLE and sets the actor's sprite to the absolute rotation found at that angle. Overrides SpriteRotation once the flag is on.
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.
- By default, when viewing a flat sprite from behind, the image is flipped around on the X axis. This may not always be desired, so this flag disables it.
- 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.
- ALLOWTHRUFLAGS must be used on the puffs, added for the sake of compatibility with older mods. This applies to the following:
-- Bullets: THRUACTORS, THRUSPECIES
-- Rails: Same as bullets, but includes THRUGHOST.
Note that this required splitting P_SerializeWorld, because sector_t and FSectorPortal contain some actor pointers, for which the same rule applies: Portal linking can only be done after all sectors have been read, meaning it cannot be done along with the rest of the data in these structures.
Obviously such a change breaks savegame compatibility so the min. savegame version had to be increased again.
Two issues:
Portal linking requires all skyboxes in the sectors to be present, without them some info is not there when needed.
UpdateWaterLevel was called in AActor::Serialize, which operated on the freshly loaded level where lots of things haven't been set up yet and plane heights may be wrong.
This is for rendering the sprite properly in all areas the actor touches. The original thinglist is not sufficient for this and Boom's touching thinglist has other purposes and collects too much data.
This new list will only get filled in when the actor is actually crossing a portal plane, for the normal sector thinglist will still be used.
This piggybacks on the msecnode_t code which has been extended to be able to handle more than one list by passing the sector's membert pointers as parameters.
While testing this it became clear that with the higher precision of doubles it has to be avoided at all costs to compare an actor's z position with a value retrieved from ZatPoint to check if it is standing on a floor. There can be some minor variations, depending on what was done with this value. Added isAbove, isBelow and isAtZ checking methods to AActor which properly deal with the problem.
- started converting g_hexen.
Most importantly this removes CHolyWeave as it is just a specialized version of A_Weave with far more convoluted use of parameters.
- replaced some uses of FRACUNIT with OPAQUE when it was about translucency.
- simplified some overly complicated translucency multiplications in the SBARINFO code.
Only things left here are accesses to AActor::ceilingz and radius in A_PainShootSkull, plus scaleX and scaleY in the ScriptedMarine sprite setting code.
Most is still using wrapper functions around the fixed point versions.
- 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.
Patched up everything so that it compiles without errors again. This only addresses code related to some compile error. A large portion of the angle code still uses angle_t and converts back and forth.
Links through sector portals are not done because nearly all the checks can be performed without doing this so if it works without there's no need to add more processing time.
Will have to see if there's cases left where such a link is needed and if so, whether there's better options to do it.
For line portals such links are necessary to have proper collision detection with actors that are currently transitioning the portal.
Notes:
* It is actually not enough to disable the early-out condition for the current block if there's a portal. It must be disabled for the entire rest of the trace because otherwise the collected lines never get processed.
* The block bounds check cannot be done globally with portals in the game. The actual trace can easily end up outside the blockmap bounds if portal offsets are factored into the distance between the two actors.
- fixed: P_FindFloorCeiling set the floorsector for a new ceilingheight.
Note: P_DrawRailTrail still needs to be changed, at the moment rail trails through portals will not work correctly.
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.
- converted the P_TranslatePortal* functions to use floating point trigonometry. The combination of R_PointToAngle and finesine even created discrepancies with perfectly parallel portals which is just not acceptable.
- added a function to FPathTraverse to relocate the trace and restart from the new position.
- made P_UseLines portal aware. Traversal through line portals is complete (all types, even teleporters), whether sector portals need better treatment remains to be seen - at the moment it only checks the range at the player's vertical center.
- added portal offsetting to all AproxDistance, AngleTo and Vec*To members of AActor.
- optimized displacement retrieval so that the most common case with no offset retrieves a constant null-vector which can be optimized away fully by the compiler.
- early out in P_GetOffsetPosition if there's no portal lines nearby, so that the common case can skip the traverser completely even on maps with line portals.
- some consolidation in p_map.cpp. PIT_CheckLine and PIT_FindFloorCeiling had quite a bit of redundancy which has been merged.
- čontinued work on FMultiBlockLinesIterator. It's still not completely finished.
* the temporary checking arrays are now static
* the array that gets the returned values only starts allocating memory when the third touched sector group is found. The most common cases (no touched portal and one touched portal) can be handled without accessing the heap.
- did some streamlining of AActor::LinkToSector:
* there's only now version of this function that can handle everything
* moved the FIXMAPTHINGPOS stuff into a separate function.
* removed LinkToWorldForMapThing and put all special handling this function did into P_PointInSectorBuggy.
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

This only updates to a compileable state. The new portals are not yet functional in the hardware renderer because they require some refactoring in the data management first.
Note about A_SkelMissile: The direct change of the missile's position was changed to use SetOrigin. If this is later supposed to be portal-aware, such direct coordinate changes are a no-go to ensure that everything is properly maintained.
This contains some advance work for handling line-to-line portals in A_PainShootSkull.
This function is special because it performs a map check itself instead of using one of the common functions from p_map.cpp, like most of the rest of the game code.
