The reason for defining them is to be able to fill out the Eternity translation table for GZDoom's Extradata parser.
Most of the new specials are mere specializations of ZDoom's Generic_* functions and occupy positions above 255 to avoid filling up the last remaining free slots available for Hexen format maps.
Allowing action specials greater than 255 required a few changes:
* all access to action specials is now through a small set of access functions.
* Two new PCodes were added to ACC to handle these new specials from scripts.
* a minor change to the network protocol, so netgame and demo version numbers were bumped.
* FS_Execute is now properly defined in p_lnspec.cpp.
Two of the newly added specials - generalizations of the special 'close Door in 30 seconds' and 'raise door in 5 minutes' sector types, will also be available to Hexen format maps. The rest are limited to use in ACS, UDMF and DECORATE.
This also adds 'change' and 'crush' parameters to most Floor_* and Ceiling_* specials, again to match Eternity's feature set.
for multiplayer: They now always check through the eyes of every player. For players whose
cameras are not players, they also check through the eyes of those cameras.
- Using spynext/spyprev to switch from a non-player to a player now writes a command to the
network stream and lets Net_DoCommand() take care of it later. The logic here is that if
a player is viewing from something that isn't another player, then every player needs to know
about it for sync purposes. Consequently, when they stop viewing from a non-player and switch
to a player, everybody needs to know about that too. But if they are viewing from a
player, it doesn't matter which player it is, so they can spynext/spyprev all they want
without letting the other players know about it (and without potentially breaking demos--due
to the above-mentioned two codepointers--while doing it during demo playback).
- Replaced the instances of checking players[consoleplayer].camera for a valid pointer to
ones that do it for every player.
- Fixed: Upon changing levels, all players but the consoleplayer would have their cameras NULLed.
- Fixed: player_t::FixPointers() needs to bypass the read barriers, or it won't be able to
do substitutions of old objects that are pending deletion.

named, and to run a script using ACS_ExecuteAlways, you need to add "always" after the script
name but before any arguments. e.g.:
pukename "A Script" 1
Will run the script "A Script" with a single argument of 1, provided the script is not
already running.
pukename "A Script" always 1
Will always run the script "A Script" with a single argument of 1.

degrees with the SPF_FORCECLAMP flag.
- Transmit the local viewpitch limits to the other players.

machines, so when an NPC need to show the "enough" response, it has enough
information available to do so.
- Some new Strife Teaser fixes I forgot to commit are in here.
- Moved norawinput check into FindRawInputFunctions().

* info CCMD to print extended actor information (not fully implemented yet)
* summonmbf CCMD.
* Beta BFG code pointer (but not the related missiles yet.)
* PowerInvisibility enhancements.
* ScoreItem with one significant change: Added a score variable that can be
checked through ACS and DECORATE. The engine itself will do nothing with it.
* Nailgun option for A_Explode.
* A_PrintBold and A_Log.
* A_SetSpecial.

velocity, and now it's known as such. The actor variables momx/momy/momz
are now known as velx/vely/velz, and the ACS functions GetActorMomX/Y/Z
are now known as GetActorVelX/Y/Z. For compatibility, momx/momy/momz will
continue to work as aliases from DECORATE. The ACS functions, however,
require you to use the new name, since they never saw an official release
yet.
SVN r1689 (trunk)
- Changed the definition of several typedef'd structs so that they are
properly named.
- Limited DEHSUPP lump lookup to search zdoom.pk3 only. It will no longer
be possible to load DEHSUPP lumps from user WADs.
- Brought back the text-based DEHSUPP parser and changed it to be able to
reference states by label. Also changed label names of
DoomUnusedStates and added proper labels to all states that were
previously forced to be the first state of an actor so that the old
(limited) method could access them. This was done to address the following
bug:
- Fixed: The player's death states calling A_PlayerSkinCheck should not be
part of the state set that is accessible by Dehacked. These will produce
error messages when mapped to non-players.
SVN r1512 (trunk)
- changed weapon slots to be stored per player. Information is now transmitted
across the network so that all machines know each player's current weapon
configuration so that it can be used by cheats or HUD display routines.

summoning.
- Added Karate Chris's fix for Serpent Staff vampirism on teammates.
- Locks and teleporters now take precedence over one-sidedness for automap
coloring.

and DEM_WIPEOFF commands. Fixes multimap demos desyncing when played back
or recorded with wipes enabled, and prevents multiplayer games from
starting until all players' wipes have finished.
SVN r1272 (trunk)
buttons are now passed across the network, and there are four new user
buttons specifically for use with this command. Also defined +zoom
and +reload for future implementation.
See http://zdoom.org/files/examples/playerinput.zip for an example.
SVN r1215 (trunk)
- Fixed: (SBARINFO patch) DrawInventoryBar has a missing argument in
one of its drawgraphic calls.
- Added Gez's patch for Heretic's GIMME cheat.
- Externalized some cheat strings.
SVN r1178 (trunk)
- The net arbitrator can add or remove players to an access list so they
can or cannot control game settings:
* net_addcontroller <player number> - Adds a player to the control list. Only net arbitrators have access to this command.
* net_removecontroller <player number> - Removes a player from the control list. Only net arbitrators have access to this command.
* net_listcontrollers - Lists the players who are able to control the game settings.
- Fixed: The 'Printf'' occurrences in the 'addplayerclass' console command were all missing a '\n' at the end.
- Enhanced the 'playerinfo' console command so more information about each setting is shown.
SVN r750 (trunk)
- Fixed: Right after teleporting P_SlideMove could cause player movement.
Added a check for reactiontime to prevent that.
- Fixed: PainChances and Damagefactors were never freed.
- Added option to A_Chase that prevents the monster from moving.
- Fixed: The stained glass shards were missing the HEXENBOUNCE flag.
- Added some NULL pointer checks to AActor::GiveAmmo.
- Fixed: The FSwordMissile was missing the special damage handling that
reduces damage when hitting a player.

when a player is going through a screen wipe and act like a pause, so the
game doesn't run several tics afterward to catch up with it.

A_Jump into a varargs function.
- Fixed: P_MorphPlayer() should check that the desired type is actually a
PlayerPawn.
- Added an optional parameter to the morphme ccmd that specifies the player
class to morph into.
- Changed the SetActorPitch, SetActorAngle, Thing_Spawn*, Thing_Projectile*,
and Thing_Move functions so that TID 0 affects the activator.

It is like A_Jump, except it accepts up to 20 jump targets. The jump
probability is still the first parameter and controls whether any jump is
taken at all; use 256 if you always want to jump. If a jump is taken, then
one of the jump targets will be chosen at random, with each target having
an equal chance of being chosen.
- Fixed: The unfreeze ccmd was not multiplayer-safe. And I renamed it to thaw,
since it has nothing to do with the freeze ccmd.
SVN r360 (trunk)
ga_autosave, write DEM_CHECKAUTOSAVE to the net stream. When this is
processed, it will check if it's okay to do an autosave. If it is, it writes
DEM_DOAUTOSAVE to the net stream, which the sets gameaction to ga_autosave.
Essentially, about half of the functionality was moved out of G_DoAutoSave()
and into Net_DoCommand().
- Minor changes to OS detection: The os_WinNT enumeration has been renamed to
os_WinNT4, since every new OS coming out of Microsoft these days is
essentially NT. NT 5.2 and 6.0 are now properly identified as "Windows
Server 2003" and "Windows Vista" respectively, and any unknown NT versions
Microsoft introduces in the future will now be displayed as "Windows NT"
instead of "Windows 2000" if the minor version is 0 and "Windows XP" if the
minor version is non-0. Win32s detection has also been removed. Presumably
if somebody is foolish enough to try to run this on Windows 3.x with Win32s,
it won't even load due to missing DLLs.
- Fixed: Demos with NETD chunks should not set netgame to true unless they
have more than one player. And since netdemo is ignored if netgame is
false, it doesn't need to set that either.
- Fixed: FTexture::GetScaled* functions did not check for scale values of 0.
SVN r354 (trunk)
could not be saved for some reason.
- Added the writeini console command to write the config file, optionally
specifying a specific file name for it.
- Fixed: "Multiplayer" demos that only had one player were not played back
properly because the demo playback code only checked the number of players
to determine if it should be played as a netdemo.
SVN r333 (trunk)
- The stat meters now return an FString instead of sprintfing into a fixed
output buffer.
- NOASM is now automatically defined when compiling for a non-x86 target.
- Some changes have been made to the integral types in doomtype.h:
- For consistancy with the other integral types, byte is no longer a
synonym for BYTE.
- Most uses of BOOL have been change to the standard C++ bool type. Those
that weren't were changed to INTBOOL to indicate they may contain values
other than 0 or 1 but are still used as a boolean.
- Compiler-provided types with explicit bit sizes are now used. In
particular, DWORD is no longer a long so it will work with both 64-bit
Windows and Linux.
- Since some files need to include Windows headers, uint32 is a synonym
for the non-Windows version of DWORD.
- Removed d_textur.h. The pic_t struct it defined was used nowhere, and that
was all it contained.
SVN r326 (trunk)
- Created a new MorphedMonster class that Chicken and Pig now derive from.
This class automatically takes care of unmorphing the monster when its
time is up.
- Made PlayerClass and MonsterClass properties of EggFX. You can override
these in a subclass to create new kinds of morpher projectiles. Along with
that, MorphWeapon is a new property of PlayerPawn that controls what type
of weapon you have available while morphed ("None" means you have no
weapons).
- Changed morphed monsters to record the time when they want to unmorph, not
the time left until they unmorph. This simplifies calling
P_UpdateMorhpedMonster() because you don't need to pass it a tic count.
- Added an optional second parameter to A_SpawnDebris and an optional
fifth parameter to A_SpawnItem that both do the same thing: If you set it
to 1, then the spawned actor will be assigned the same translation table
as the actor that called the function.
- Moved the blood colorization in P_SpawnBlood() ahead of the SetDamage()
call so that the blood color will available to the states of the blood
actor.
- Extended the puke command so that giving it a negative script number will
act like ACS_ExecuteAlways and always execute the script. (Ugh. Why did I
use's Raven's cheat code to name this command?)
SVN r296 (trunk)
your head has popped off your body.
- Fixed: When item respawning is on and you play on skill 1 or 5, picking
up ammo would permanently double the amount of ammo received from that
item the next time it gets picked up.
- Added a check to PlayerIsGone() for players who have already had their
actors destroyed before calling it.
- Fixed: G_CheckDemoStatus() only restored your name, autoaim, and color
settings after playing back a demo.
- Added DEM_SPRAY net command so that sprayed decals work in multiplayer
and demos.
- Changed DEM_GIVECHEAT to use a word for specifying the item quantity.
This is useful mainly for giving yourself more than 255 health at a time.
- Fixed: DEM_SUMMONFRIEND was not handled by Net_SkipCommand().
