symbols there instead of into AActor.
- Changed the expression evaluator's floating point precision to double.
- Started rewriting the DECORATE expression evaluator to allow more flexibility.
All the operators use the new functionality but functions, variables and
constants are yet to be redone.
While doing this rewrite I noticed that random2 was always evaluated as const.
This got fixed automatically.
SVN r1264 (trunk)
* This may or may not be a problem, but GCC warned that FStateDefinitions::
AddStateDefines() does not initialize def.FStateDefine::DefineFlags, so
I fixed that.
SVN r1262 (trunk)
- Fixed: S_ChannelEnded didn't check for a NULL SfxInfo.
- Fixed: R_InitTables did a typecast to angle_t instead of fixed_t.
- Fixed: PowerProtection and PowerDamage applied their defaults incorrectly.
- Fixed: The damage type property didn't properly read its factor.
SVN r1257 (trunk)
against decorations without breaking anything newer:
Added a new 'projectilepassheight' property that defines an alternative height
that is only used when checking a projectile's movement against this actor.
If the value is positive it is used regardless of other settings, if it is
negative, its absolute will be used if a new compatibility option is enabled
and if it is 0 the normal height will be used.
SVN r1253 (trunk)
the NextState parameter is. The code did some rather unsafe checks with it
to determine its type.
- moved all state related code into a new file: p_states.cpp.
- merged all FindState functions. All the different variations are now inlined
and call the same function to do the real work.
SVN r1243 (trunk)
some changes to the MAPINFO parser which tried to access the texture manager
to check if the level name patches exist. That check had to be moved to
where the intermission screen is set up.
- Fixed: 'bloodcolor' ignored the first parameter value when given a list
of integers.
Please note that this creates an incompatibility between old and new
versions so if you want to create something that works with both 2.2.0
and current versions better use the string format version for the color
parameter!
- Rewrote the DECORATE property parser so that the parser is completely
separated from the property handlers. This should allow reuse of all
the handler code for a new format if Doomscript requires one.
- Fixed: PClass::InitializeActorInfo copied too many bytes if a subclass's
defaults were larger than the parent's.
- Moved A_ChangeFlag to thingdef_codeptr.cpp.
- Moved translation related code from thingdef_properties.cpp to r_translate.cpp
and rewrote the translation parser to use FScanner instead of strtol.
- replaced DECORATE's 'alpha default' by 'defaultalpha' for consistency.
Since this was never used outside zdoom.pk3 it's not critical.
- Removed support for game specific pickup messages because the only thing
this was ever used for - Raven's invulnerability item - has already been
split up into a Heretic and Hexen version.
SVN r1240 (trunk)
- Removed extraneous printf parameter for Texman.Init startup message.
- Added newlines to the ends of a few headers that were missing them.
- Fixed more GCC errors/warnings.
SVN r1232 (trunk)
when explicitly giving them.
- Changed 'give weapon' cheat so that in single player it only gives weapons
belonging to the current game or are placed in a weapon slot to avoid
giving the Chex Quest weapons in Doom and vice versa.
- Fixed: The texture manager must be the first thing to be initialized
because MAPINFO and DECORATE both can reference textures and letting them
create their own textures is not safe.
SVN r1230 (trunk)
so that all files are included by a central one instead of compiling
each one separately. This speeds up the compilation process by 25%
when doing a complete rebuild in Visual C.
- Cleaned up more header dependencies.
SVN r1226 (trunk)
automatically used by all inventory classes.
- The previous change made it necessary to replace all TryPickup calls with
another function that just calls TryPickup.
- Fixed: AInventory::TryPickup can change the toucher so this must be reported
to subclasses calling the super function. Changed TryPickup to pass the
toucher pointer by reference.
SVN r1221 (trunk)
disabled for them
- Fixed: Chex Quest doesn't have a HELP2 screen so it must not be used
in the gameinfo.
- Fixed: Default blood color is no longer red so P_DrawSplash2 must
get it from the gameinfo instead.
- Added new French language texts by DoomKn1ght_.
SVN r1186 (trunk)
- Added functions to FActorInfo that can set the damage factors and
pain chances to reduce the chance of new errors when working with
these features.
- Fixed: The handling of the deprecated FIRERESIST flag didn't work.
There were 3 problems:
* Actor defaults have no class information so HandleDeprecatedFlags
needs to be passed a pointer to the ActorInfo.
* The DamageFactors list is only created when needed so the code needs to
check if it already exists.
* damage factors are stored as fixed_t but this set a float.
- Added a traditional Strife color set for the automap.
SVN r1183 (trunk)
- Fixed: The recent changes in the DECORATE parser require the special parameter
to A_CallSpecial to be an expression, not a constant.
- Removed game filters from old style decorations. No WAD in existence ever
used them and removing them allows to make the parser more robust.
SVN r1170 (trunk)
to reference its arguments directly, except 'self'. This may be helpful if it
becomes necessary to restructure this code once DoomScript becomes real.
- Removed the last remaining global variable related to action functions:
pStateCall. Everything is passed properly as function arguments now.
- fixed: PlayerChunk was missing the NOSKIN flag.
SVN r1169 (trunk)
the texture manager even if it is from Raven's IWADs.
- Removed code related to internal ActorInfo definitions from dobjtype.cpp.
- removed unneeded file dehackedactions.h
SVN r1162 (trunk)
internal actor classes which no longer exist.
- Changed the state structure so that the Tics value doesn't need to be hacked
into misc1 with SF_BIGTIC anymore.
- Changed sprite processing so that sprite names are converted to indices
during parsing so that an additional postprocessing step is no longer needed.
- Fixed: Sprite names in DECORATE were case sensitive.
- Exported AActor's defaults to DECORATE and removed all code for the
internal property parser which is no longer needed.
SVN r1146 (trunk)
- Made the speed a parameter to A_RaiseMobj and A_SinkMobj and deleted
GetRaiseSpeed and GetSinkSpeed.
- Added some remaining DECORATE conversions for Hexen by Karate Chris.
SVN r1144 (trunk)
- Removed AT_GAME_SET because it's no longer used anywhere.
- Converted the last remaining global classes to DECORATE.
- Fixed: Inventory.PickupFlash requires an class name as parameter not an
integer. Some Hexen definitions got it wrong.
- Converted Hexen's Pig to DECORATE.
- Replaced the ActorInfo definitions of all internal inventory classes with
DECORATE definitions.
- Added option to specify a powerup's duration in second by using a negative
number.
SVN r1137 (trunk)
- AActor::PreExplode is gone now that the last item that was using it has been converted.
- Converted the Sigil and the remaining things in a_strifeitems.cpp to DECORATE.
SVN r1132 (trunk)
- Fixed: AStalker::CheckMeleeRange did not perform all checks of AActor::CheckMeleeRange.
I replaced this virtual override with a new flag MF5_NOVERTICALMELEERANGE so that
this feature can also be used by other actors.
- Converted Strife's Stalker to DECORATE.
- Converted ArtiTeleport to DECORATE.
SVN r1126 (trunk)
redundant ammo multiplication code from P_DropItem and ADehackedPickup::TryPickup.
- Restricted native action function definitions to zdoom.pk3.
SVN r1123 (trunk)
occurences in the code that depended on it were changed accordingly.
Invulnerability colormaps are now being set by the items exclusively.
- Changed many checks for the friendly Minotaur to a new flag MF5_SUMMONEDMONSTER
so that it can hopefully be generalized to be usable elsewhere later.
- Added Gez's submission for converting the Minotaur to DECORATE.
SVN r1120 (trunk)
surprised if this doesn't build in Linux right now. The CMakeLists.txt
were checked with MinGW and NMake, but how they fair under Linux is an
unknown to me at this time.
- Converted most sprintf (and all wsprintf) calls to either mysnprintf or
FStrings, depending on the situation.
- Changed the strings in the wbstartstruct to be FStrings.
- Changed myvsnprintf() to output nothing if count is greater than INT_MAX.
This is so that I can use a series of mysnprintf() calls and advance the
pointer for each one. Once the pointer goes beyond the end of the buffer,
the count will go negative, but since it's an unsigned type it will be
seen as excessively huge instead. This should not be a problem, as there's
no reason for ZDoom to be using text buffers larger than 2 GB anywhere.
- Ripped out the disabled bit from FGameConfigFile::MigrateOldConfig().
- Changed CalcMapName() to return an FString instead of a pointer to a static
buffer.
- Changed startmap in d_main.cpp into an FString.
- Changed CheckWarpTransMap() to take an FString& as the first argument.
- Changed d_mapname in g_level.cpp into an FString.
- Changed DoSubstitution() in ct_chat.cpp to place the substitutions in an
FString.
- Fixed: The MAPINFO parser wrote into the string buffer to construct a map
name when given a Hexen map number. This was fine with the old scanner
code, but only a happy coincidence prevents it from crashing with the new
code
- Added the 'B' conversion specifier to StringFormat::VWorker() for printing
binary numbers.
- Added CMake support for building with MinGW, MSYS, and NMake. Linux support
is probably broken until I get around to booting into Linux again. Niceties
provided over the existing Makefiles they're replacing:
* All command-line builds can use the same build system, rather than having
a separate one for MinGW and another for Linux.
* Microsoft's NMake tool is supported as a target.
* Progress meters.
* Parallel makes work from a fresh checkout without needing to be primed
first with a single-threaded make.
* Porting to other architectures should be simplified, whenever that day
comes.
- Replaced the makewad tool with zipdir. This handles the dependency tracking
itself instead of generating an external makefile to do it, since I couldn't
figure out how to generate a makefile with an external tool and include it
with a CMake-generated makefile. Where makewad used a master list of files
to generate the package file, zipdir just zips the entire contents of one or
more directories.
- Added the gdtoa package from netlib's fp library so that ZDoom's printf-style
formatting can be entirely independant of the CRT.
SVN r1082 (trunk)
- Converted all of Heretic's actors except the weapons to DECORATE.
- Added the option to define the ActorInfos for native classes in DECORATE.
SVN r1078 (trunk)
treated it as a mace and wrote into some undefined memory.
- Fixed: A_BishopMissileWeave didn't initialize special2 for proper movement.
- Added a speed parameter to A_SkullAttack.
- Fixed: Black as first or only blood color didn't work.
- Fixed: Sounds played in wi_stuff.cpp and f_finale.cpp need the CHAN_UI flag.
- Fixed: Spawning a player could play the *gasp sound.
- Fixed: SBARINFO's health display didn't scale to the proper maximum.
- Added Skulltag's Teleport_NoStop action special.
SVN r1074 (trunk)
and vice versa.
- Fixed: In deathmatch specral missiles spawned by players should hurt other
players.
- Fixed: SpectralLightningBigBall didn't set the proper owner for the lightning
projectiles it spawned.
- Changed the EntityBoss's attack function to call the equivalent spectre
functions instead of duplicating their code.
- Gave many of Strife's code pointers that only had a number as name more
meaningful names.
- Fixed: All spectral attacks must set 'health' first before P_CheckMissileSpawn
is called.
SVN r1071 (trunk)
- Added a check for PUFFGETSOWNER to A_BFGSpray.
- Moved the PUFFGETSOWNER check into P_SpawnPuff and removed the limitation
to players only.
- Fixed: P_SpawnMapThing still checked FMapThing::flags for the class bits
instead of FMapThing::ClassFilter.
- Fixed: A_CustomMissile must not let P_SpawnMissile call P_CheckMissileSpawn.
It must do this itself after setting the proper owner.
- Fixed: CCMD(give) increased the total item count.
- Fixed: A_Stop didn't set the player specific variables to 0.
SVN r1066 (trunk)
arbitrary point. It has been replaced with a variant that takes a polyobject
as a source, since that was the only use that couldn't be rewritten with the
other variants. This also fixes the bug that polyobject sounds were not
successfully saved and caused a crash when reloading the game. Note that
this is a significant change to how equality of sound sources is determined,
so some things may not behave quite the same as before. (Which would be a
bug, but hopefully everything still sounds the same.)
SVN r1059 (trunk)
- Fixed: The internal definition of Floor_LowerToNearest had incorrect parameter
settings.
- Fixed: Heretic's ActivatedTimeBomb had the same spawn ID as the inventory item.
- fixed: Heretic's mace did not have its spawn ID set.
SVN r1052 (trunk)
- Added a generalized version of Skulltag's A_CheckRailReload function.
- Fixed: DrawImage didn't take 0 as a valid image index.
- Added Gez's RandomSpawner submission with significant changes.
- Added optional blocks for MAPINFO map definitions. ZDoom doesn't use
this feature itself but it allows other ports based on ZDoom
to implement their own sets of options without making such a MAPINFO
unreadable by ZDoom.
SVN r1044 (trunk)
that animated icons can be done with it.
- Changed FImageCollection to use a TArray to hold its data.
- Fixed: SetChanHeadSettings did an assignment instead of comparing
the channel ID witg CHAN_CEILING.
- Changed sound sequence names for animated doors to FNames.
- Automatically fixed: DCeiling didn't properly serialize its texture id.
- Replaced integers as texture ID representation with a specific new type
to track down all potentially incorrect uses and remaining WORDs used
for texture IDs so that more than 32767 or 65535 textures can be defined.
SVN r1036 (trunk)
consideration the size and shape of the sector producing the sound. See
the lifts on Doom 2 MAP30 and compare with previous versions.
- Fixed: The stop sound for sector-based sound sequences was not played with
the CHAN_AREA flag.
- Removed the distinction between S_Sound() and S_SoundID() functions. Use
S_Sound() for both names and IDs from now on.
SVN r1034 (trunk)
mid textures linked to a moving floor.
- Fixed AActor's bouncefactor definitions which I accidentally changed when
adding wallbouncefactor.
- Fixed: A_SpawnItemEx added the floorclip offset to the z coordinate instead
of subtracting it.
SVN r1031 (trunk)
- Changed: Players don't telefrag when they are spawned now but after all
actors have been spawned to avoid accidental voodoo doll telefragging.
- Fixed: ACS scripts for non-existent maps were started on the current one.
- Added a 'wallbouncefactor' property to AActor.
- Reverted forceunderwater change from r1026 and fixed the problem for real:
SECF_FORCEDUNDERWATER only has meaning when coming from the heightsec.
So the initial check of the current sector in AActor::UpdateWaterLevel
must only check for SECF_UNDERWATER, not SECF_UNDERWATERMASK.
SVN r1027 (trunk)
capturing the mouse.
- Changed: Telefragging should not thrust the victim if it isn't in precisely the
same position as the killer.
- fixed: A_SpawnItemEx must call P_TeleportMove before checking the spawned
object's position.
SVN r1014 (trunk)
(actors being forced to the ground by instantly moving sectors, strife
railing handling and shooting lines with a non-zero but unassigned tag.)
With UDMF such semantics have to be handled diffently.
- finalized UDMF 1.0 implementation.
- Added Martin Howe's latest morph update.
SVN r987 (trunk)
definitions in HIRESTEX. The feature should be complete now.
- Fixed: A_CheckTargetInLOS used BAM angles instead of degrees which is the
DECORATE convention.
- Added Snowkate709's A_CheckTargetInLOS addition.
- Added listmaps CCMD.
SVN r974 (trunk)
of type MiscPatch with the same name.
- Added UDMF line trigger types MonsterUse and MonsterPush.
- Separated skill and class filter bits from FMapThing::flags so that
UDMF can define up to 16 of each. Also separated easy/baby and
hard/nightmare and changed default MAPINFO definitions.
- Changed: Crosshair drawing uses the current player class's default health instead
of 100 to calculate the color for the crosshair.
- Added SECF_NOFALLINGDAMAGE flag plus Sector_ChangeFlags to set it. Also separated
all user settable flags from MoreFlags into their own Flags variable.
SVN r964 (trunk)
- Separated mapthing2_t into mapthinghexen_t and the internal FMapThing so
that it is easier to add new features in the UDMF map format.
- Added some initial code to read UDMF maps.
SVN r956 (trunk)
- Also changed all true color texture creation functions to use proper alpha
values instead of inverted ones.
- Changed FRemapTable so that all palette entries must contain proper alpha
values.
- Fixed: The F1 screen check in m_menu.cpp was missing a NULL pointer check.
- Changed: The boss brain's explosions play weapons/rocklx which is an
unlimited sound. This can become extremely loud. Replaced with a new
sound which is just an alias to weapons/rocklx but has a limit of 4.
SVN r932 (trunk)
- Added support for defining composite textures in HIRESTEX. It is not fully tested
and right now can't do much more than the old TEXTUREx method.
- Added a few NULL pointer checks to the texture code.
- Made duplicate class names in DECORATE non-fatal. There is really no stability
concern here and the worst that can happen is that the wrong actor is spawned.
This was a constant hassle when testing with WADs that contain duplicate resources.
SVN r905 (trunk)
to enable Timidity to read its config from Zips.
I put this on hold though after finding out that the sound quality
isn't even near that of Timidity++.
- GCC-Fixes (FString::GetChars() for Printf calls)
- Added a dummy Weapon.NOLMS flag so that Skulltag weapons using this flag
can be loaded
SVN r901 (trunk)
Chaos Device. This sound is not defined by the other games so it won't
play by default.
- Added MORPH_UNDOBYTOMEOFPOWER and MORPH_UNDOBYCHAOSDEVICE flags
for the morph style so that the special behavior of these two items
can be switched on and off.
SVN r890 (trunk)
to handle M4 and 5 in Doom and Heretic.
- Added P_CheckMapData functions and replaced all calls to P_OpenMapData that
only checked for a map's presence with it.
- Added Martin Howe's player statusbar face submission.
- Added an 'adddefaultmap' option for MAPINFO. This is the same as 'defaultmap'
but keeps all existing information in the default and just adds to it. This
is needed because Hexen and Strife set some information in their base
MAPINFO and using 'defaultmap' in a PWAD would override that.
- Fixed: Using MAPINFO's f1 option could cause memory leaks.
- Added option to load lumps by full name to several places:
* Finale texts loaded from a text lump
* Demos
* Local SNDINFOs
* Local SNDSEQs
* Image names in FONTDEFS
* intermission script names
- Changed the STCFN121 handling. The character is not an 'I' but a '|' so
instead of discarding it it should be inserted at position 124.
- Renamed indexfont.fon to indexfont so that I could remove a special case
from V_GetFont that was just added for this one font.
- Added a 'dumpspawnedthings' CVAR that enables a listing of all things in
the map and the actor type they spawned.
SVN r882 (trunk)
line.
- Fixed: P_SpawnPuff assumed that all melee attacks have the same range
(MELEERANGE) and didn't set the puff to its melee state if the range
was different. Even worse, it checked a global variable for this so
the behavior was undefined when P_SpawnPuff was called from anywhere
else but P_LineAttack. To reduce the amount of parameters I combined
this information with the hitthing and temporary parameters into one
flags parameter. Also changed P_LineAttack so that it gets passed
an additional parameter that specifies whether the attack is a melee
attack or not and set this to true in all calls that are to be considered
melee attacks. I couldn't use the damage type because A_CustomPunch
and A_CustomMeleeAttack allow passing any damage type they want.
- Added a sprite option as an alternative of particles for FX_ROCKET
and FX_GRENADE.
SVN r879 (trunk)
DECORATE was wrong (2 instead of 1.)
- Changed: Hexen set every cluster to be a hub if it hadn't been defined before
a level using this cluster. Now it will only do that if HexenHack is true,
i.e. when original Hexen format MAPINFOs are parsed. For ZDoom format
MAPINFOs it will now be the same as for the other games which means that
'hub' has to be declared explicitly.
- Added an Idle state that is entered in place of the spawn state if a monster
has to return to its inactive state if it can't find any more targets.
- Added MF5_NOINTERACTION flag which completely disables all physics related
code for any actor with this flag. Mostly useful for particle effects where
the actors just move a certain distance and then disappear.
- Removed the last remains of the antialias precalculation code from
am_map.cpp because it was no longer used.
- Fixed: Two-sided lines bordering a secret sector were not drawn in the
proper color
- Fixed: The automap didn't check ACS_LockedExecuteDoor for its lock color.
SVN r876 (trunk)
rather than a generic one, so identifying errors among files that all have
the same lump name no longer involves any degree of guesswork in
determining exactly which file the error occurred in.
- Added a check to S_ParseSndSeq() for SNDSEQ lumps with unterminated final
sequences.
- Fixed: Parts of s_sndseq.cpp that scan the Sequences array need NULL
pointer checks, in case an improper sequence was encountered during
parsing but not early enough to avoid creating a slot for it in the array.
SVN r874 (trunk)
- Added a SFX_TRANSFERAMBUSHFLAG for A_SpawnItemEx.
- Added "Shaded" as a valid parameter for DECORATE's RenderStyle.
- Added Karate Chris's patch for a MAPINFO option making Strife conversations
not halt the game.
- Extended the $limit fix that $alias and $random definitions can have their
own $limit now.
- Fixed: When resolving a linked sound the limit of the current sound was
ignored and the one of the referenced sound being used. This was particularly
noticable when using the chaingun in a group of Zombiemen.
- Added a namespc parameter to FWadCollection::CheckNumForFullName which is
used when a normal lump name has to be looked up and changed all
CheckNumForFullName/CheckNumForName combinations in the source to use
the extended version of CheckNumForFullName only to have consistent
behavior for lump name lookup.
SVN r865 (trunk)
xlat_parser.y because both files had the same time stamp after an update,
and Lemon only rewrites the header file if it's changed.
- Added $volume SNDINFO command. This is multiplied with the volume the sound
is played at to arrive at the final volume (before distance attenuation).
- Added the CHAN_AREA flag to disable 3D panning within the min distance of a
sound. Sector sound sequences (except doors) use this flag.
- Added the CHAN_LOOP flag to replace the S_Looped* sound functions.
- Restored the sound limiting.
SVN r849 (trunk)
- Fixed: Heretic linetype translations included the wrong file.
- Removed all 2D sound positioning code from s_sound.cpp. Everything uses
FMOD's 3D engine now.
- Removed all the channel selection code from s_sound.cpp. FMOD has code to
handle this sort of thing, so let's use it.
- Replaced S_StopSoundID() with S_CheckSingular(). There is no longer a limit
on the number of copies of a particular sound that can be playing at once,
aside from Strife's special singular sounds. (Sorry, Heretic and Hexen.)
Consequently, the SNDINFO $limit command is now ignored.
- Removed ATTN_SURROUND, since FMOD Ex doesn't exactly support it, and it
only worked as intended on stereo speakers anyway.
- Cleaned out ancient crud from i_sound.cpp.
SVN r826 (trunk)
- Changed savegame versioning so that the written version is never lower
than the minmum one reported as compatible.
- Added mirrored movement modes for linked sectors.
- Added Eternity-style initialization for linked sectors as a new subtype
of Static_Init.
- Added linked sectors. The control sector determines how they move but if
any one of the linked sectors is blocked, movement for all linked sectors
will be affected. This will allow lifts consisting out of more than one
sector without the risk of breaking them if only one of the sectors is
blocked.
- Fixed: A_Mushroom created an actor on the stack.
SVN r825 (trunk)
which crushing mode is used: 0 uses the game's default for compatibility,
1 uses Doom's mode (crushers continue to move while damaging any actors ) and
2 uses Hexen's mode (crushers stay at blocking actor's top until they die).
Since Generic_Crusher already used all 5 args I created a second version for
Hexen crushing mode.
- Added PICKUP flag to DECORATE.
SVN r817 (trunk)
- Fixed: ACS SetMugShotState needs to check the StatusBar pointer for the
proper object type.
- Move SBarInfo loading code in d_main.cpp into a static method of DSBarInfo.
- Removed dobject.err from the repository. It only contained a list of compiler
errors for some very old version of dobject.cpp.
- Fixed: A_JumpIfCloser was missing a z-check.
- Added Blzut3's SBARINFO update #13:
- Split sbarinfo.cpp into two files sbarinfo_display.cpp and sbarinfo_parser.cpp
- Rewrote the mug shot system for SBarInfo to allow for scripting and custom
states for different means of death.
- SBarInfo now loads all SBarInfo lumps instead of just the last one. Clashing
status bar definitions will now be cleared before the bar is read.
- Fixed: When using transparency with bars the new drawing method (bg over fg)
didn't work. In the case that the border value is set to 0 it will revert to
the old method (fg over bg).
- Fixed: drawbar lost any high res information it was given.
- Added: ACS command SetMugShotState(str state) which sets the mug shot state
for the activating player.
- Added: keepoffsets flag to drawbar. When set the offsets in the fg image will
also be applied when displaying the bar.
SVN r812 (trunk)
it is 1-based.
- added MF5_DONTRIP flag.
- added CheckActorFloorTexture, CheckActorCeilingTexture and
GetActorLightLevel ACS functions.
- added IF_ADDITIVETIME flag to create powerups that add their duration
to the one of the currently active item of the same type.
- fixed: bouncecount wasn't decreased when bouncing on walls.
- Added MF5_ALWAYSRESPAWN and MF5_NEVERRESPAWN flags that selectively
enable or disable monster respawning regardless of skill setting.
- Prettified deprecated flag handling.
SVN r780 (trunk)
