This involves passing the level explicitly to many functions. What was done here may seem a bit excessive but at least it covers everything.
Most importantly, the global ActiveThinker pointer has been moved into FLevelLocals and is now getting tracked properly by the level without using dangerous assumptions about how the game organizes its data.
This should be less of a drag on the playsim than having each light a separate actor. A quick check with ZDCMP2 showed that the light processing time was reduced to 1/3rd from 0.5 ms to 0.17 ms per tic.
It's also one native actor class less.
Since the SpawnedThings array is still available when polyobjects are spawned it makes no sense to create an expensive linked list in P_SpawnMapThing.
This can be done far better by scanning through the array again and collect all matching items in a second array.
This did no longer sort sprites in the same position reliably since the feature to render sprites which only partially are inside a sector was added.
With this, sprites in the same position are no longer guaranteed to be added to the render list in sequence.
Fixed by adding an 'order' field to AActor which gets incremented with each spawned actor and reset when a new level is started.
The software renderer will also need a variation of this fix but its data no longer has access to the defining actor when being sorted, so a bit more work is needed here.
* it was never saved in savegames, leaving the state of dead bodies undefined
* it shouldn't be subjected to pointer substitution because all it contains is old dead bodies, not live ones.
* only call hw_CheckViewArea if the result is not known yet.
* check the map up front if it even contains heightsecs. This allows to shortcut the above check entirely for maps without sector transfers and will allow further optimizations.
* the MAPINFO options now get handled in g_mapinfo.cpp and g_level.cpp, just like the rest of them as members of level_info_t and FLevelLocals.
* RecalcVertexHeights has been made a member of vertex_t and been moved to p_sectors.cpp.
* the dumpgeometry CCMD has been moved to p_setup.cpp
For some files that had the Doom Source license attached but saw heavy external contributions over the years I added a special note to license all original ZDoom code under BSD.
- replaced TStaticArray with regular TArrays.
They had incomplete implementations preventing proper cleanup of the level loading code. It makes more sense to add the missing methods to the regular TArray and use that.
This also makes some changes to how the game nodes are used to avoid creating a copy: If the head node's pointer is stored in a separate variable, no code needs to check which of the two arrays gets used.
Both files can now be included independently without causing problems.
This also required moving some inline functions into separate files and splitting off the GC definitions from dobject.h to ensure that r_defs does not need to pull in any part of the object hierarchy.
This reverts commit dd03bb1fcb.
Turns out that making this work in GL will create a complete mess so better remove the option as it would only cause problems.
