- ensure that actor defaults contain a valid virtual table and class pointer so that they can actually use virtual and class-dependent method functions. This is needed for retrieving script variables from them.
- added some helpers to set scripted member variables through the native property parser.
Unfortunately some classes, e.g. PowerMorph, MorphProjectile and the powerup contain some that cannot be handled through the 'property' definition on the script side so they need to be done from the native side.
- improved the class pointer to string cast to print the actual type it describes and not the class pointer's own type.
- fixed: The 'is' operator created non-working code when checking the inheritance of a class pointer, it only worked for objects.
libmpg123 spews quite a lot of debug stuff in stdout when encountering files like WAV or Ogg Vorbis, while libsndfile is silent when encountering an MP3 file.
This revealed an interesting bug: When the berserk fadout formula was changed in 2005 the result was essentially broken, resulting in values around 7000 - it only worked by happenstance because the lower 8 bits of the resulting values just happened to work to some degree and never overflowed. But the resulting fade was far too weak and a slightly different handling of the color composition code for the VM made it break down entirely.
This restores the pre-2005 formula but weakened intensity which now comes a lot closer to how it is supposed to look.
- support transient object member variables for information that does not need to be put in a savegame.
- fixed: special initialization of objects needs to pass the proper defaults along, otherwise the parent classes will use their own, inappropriate one.

The IsActivatedByUse implementation was essentially useless because the value was not serialized so it got lost as soon as the game was reloaded from a savegame.
With the refactoring this is no longer an issue but the access function needed to be changed over to read the info from 'health'.
The entire setup was quite broken with each item using its own activation result and the ones of the subsequent items in the list as the return value.
This rendered the STANDSTILL check in the main function totally unpredictable because the value it depended on could come from any item in the list.
Changed it so that the main dispatcher function is part of sector_t and does the stepping through the list iteratively instead of letting each item recursively call its successor and let this function decide for each item alone whether it should be removed.
The broken setup also had the effect that any MusicChanger would trigger all following SecActEnter specials right on msp start.
This can be done with a lot less overhead by using one of the object's properties to store the activation flag, so that all the nearly redundant trigger methods can be folded into one.
This was done to ensure it can be properly overridden in scripts without causing problems when called during engine shutdown for the type and symbol objects the VM needs to work and to have the scripted version always run first.
Since the scripted OnDestroy method never calls the native version - the native one is run after the scripted one - this can be simply skipped over during shutdown.
No need to maintain these clunky meta class for one single property. The overhead the mere existence of this class creates is far more than 100 spawned ammo items would cost.
There is no need to serialize AAmmo::DropAmount, this value has no meaning on an already spawned item.
There are a few which require explicit native construction or destruction that need to be exported to the VM, e.g. FCheckPosition.
The VM cannot handle this directly, it needs two special functions to be attached to handle such elements.
- created script exports for all relevant functions with all integral types.
- created script side definitions for the underlying data types.
- added a void pointer type so that the prototype for the pointer array can use a generic type every pointer can be assigned to.
It can actually happen that the thinker chain gets broken if an actor being iterated happens to destroy the immediately following actor in the chain as well. In that case both actors lose their chain links and the iterator cannot advance any further, the only solution to avoid a crash is to terminate the iteration of the current list.
- got rid of glsegextras.
This was probably one of the most ill-conceived means to save some memory in ZDoom, but now, when a pure software rendered engine no longer needs to be considered it's just totally useless to keep this mess in.
- disabled the Build map loader after finding out that it has been completely broken and nonfunctional for a long time. Since this has no real value it will probably removed entirely in an upcoming commit.
- widened ttl variable in particle_t to short to allow longer living particles than 6 seconds.
- reordered fields in particle_t to reduce struct size a bit.
This is mostly a straight refactoring of the existing code to work independently of specific member variables in the involved classes, using a bit of template magic to avoid redundancy and moving the work code into subfunctions.
It still needs some testing to see if it a) helps fix the crash issues and b) doesn't break anything-
These are rather small and extremely frequently allocated, so they are prime candidates for memory arena, because it not only avoids fragmentation and internal overhead due to mass allocation of small memory blocks but it also makes it a lot faster to free the memory when finishing a level.
Fixed Apple's Clang warnings:
absolute value function 'abs' given an argument of type 'long long' but has parameter of type 'int' which may cause truncation of value
