The slot had been there forever to address this same problem but only one of the two constructors actually set it, too bad that it was the wrong one...
This is something that normally won't be noticed. But if some actor is spawned on a moving platform, with both thinkers on the same statnum it means that the order of execution is not correct with the platform being done first, resulting in the actor to 'jump' while the platform is moving. To prevent this it is necessary that all sector movers only tick after all actors have completed their thinking turn.
What was the point of this strange setup anyway? MoveFloor and MoveCeiling were inlines calling the universal MovePlane, which had nothing better to do than a switch/case with two cases - floor and ceiling!
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
because it exposed a design flaw in the thinker system:
Having every single actor default to the highest available statnum means that
nothing can be placed in a slot where it is guaranteed to be run after all actors
have ticked. But this is required for any thinker that moves an actor
(i.e. AActorMover and DSectorEffect.) With DSectorEffect it just went unnoticed
because they were added at the end of the list so almost nothing they moved was
behind them in a thinker list. However, when an actor was spawned on a moving
floor it did not move smoothly. The default statnum is now 100 so that there's
sufficient slots above where such thinkers can be placed.

were doing some things in their destructor that needed to be done in the
Destroy method.
- Rewrote the interpolation code. Interpolations are no longer some objects
that are separate from the rest of the engine. Instead, they are owned by
the thinkers starting them. Also, polyobjects only spawn a single interpolation
for each polyobject instead of a single one for each vertex.
Also, different types of interpolation objects are used for different types
of interpolation so that they can do some additional work if eventually needed.
SVN r1018 (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.

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)
to be able to save the 3dMidtex attachment info.
- Fixed: The TArray serializer needs to be declared as a friend of TArray
in order to be able to access its fields.
- Since there are no backwards compatibility issues due to savegame version
bumping I closed all gaps in the level flag set.
- Bumped min. Savegame version and Netgame version for 3dMidtex related
changes.
- Changed Jump and Crouch DMFlags into 3-way switches:
0: map default, 1: off, 2: on. Since I needed new bits the rest of
the DMFlag bit values had to be changed as a result.
- fixed: PTR_SlideTraverse didn't check ML_BLOCKMONSTERS for sliding
actors without MF3_NOBLOCKMONST.
- Added MAPINFO commands 'checkswitchrange' and 'nocheckswitchrange'
that can enable or disable switch range checking globally per map.
- Changed ML_3DMIDTEX to force ML_CHECKSWITCHRANGE.
- Added a ML_CHECKSWITCHRANGE flag which allows checking whether the
player can actually reach the switch he wants to use.
- Made DActiveButton::EWhere global so that I can use it outside thr
DActiveButton class.
March 17, 2008 (Changes by Graf Zahl)
- Changed P_LineOpening to pass its result in a struct instead of global
variables.
- Added Eternity's 3DMIDTEX feature (no Eternity code used though.)
It should be feature complete with the exception of the ML_BLOCKMONSTERS
flag handling. That particular part of Eternity's implementation is
sub-optimal because it hijacks an existing flag and doesn't seem to make
much sense to me. Maybe I'll implement it as a separate flag later.
SVN r810 (trunk)
- Fixed: DMover::MovePlane() would not stop moving the plane when it exactly
reached its target height unless it was a floor moving down.
- Fixed: Actors that can't attack should not be valid haters for Thing_Hate.
- Fixed: AArtiBlastRadius::BlastActor() should not set MF2_SLIDE for missiles.
- Fixed: sdl/i_input.cpp should check !iscntrl() before generating EV_GUI_Char
messages.
