- major overhaul of the static sector damage system:
* consolidated special based damage, Sector_SetDamage and UDMF properties into one set of damage properties. The parallel handling that could lead to double damage infliction was removed. This also means that damage through sector specials can be retroactively changed through Sector_SetDamage.
* all special cases were turned into flags. The new system can switch between Strife's delayed damage and regular damage, and it can also set whether terrain splashes are used or not. It also has access to the special properties of the end-level type (i.e. switching off god mode and ending the level.)
* the damage related flags are accessible through Sector_ChangeFlags, not the damage functions themselves.
Since Eternity got this it's a good candidate for a potential Super-Boom standard, and it's also useful for silencing a sector temporarily without removing the sound sequence.
- moved sector secret information from sector_t::special and secretsector to two flag bits in sector_t::Flags.
This is to get rid of the bit masking madness in the floor/ceiling thinkers which need to preserve this bit when they change a sector's type.
- fixed: Sector_SetPortal's Eternity translation was not correct.
The ZDoom variant allows specifying the plane as part of the portal, Eternity does not. Added a new 'plane' type 3 which just means 'any'.

* OPL: specify the core to use for playing this song
* FluidSynth: specify a soundfont that should be used for playing the song.
* WildMidi: specify a config file that should be used for playing the song.
* Timidity++: specify an executable that should be used for playing the song. At least under Windows this allows using Timidity++ with different configs if the executable and each single config are placed in different directories.
* GUS: currently not operational, but should later also specify the config. This will need some work, because right now this is initialized only when the sound system is initialized.
* all other: no function.
These options should mainly be for end users who want to fine-tune how to play the music.
- increased the valid range of patch values for MUS. According to the original MIDI2MUS code it can handle numbers up to 188, not 181, and at least one track from Eternal Doom uses #183.
According to blzut3, it looks like it is a byte followed by a variable length field. It can be any value 0-15 and will be followed by that many bytes one for each bank used. If the bank count is 0 then it is shorthand for using one bank (bank 0).
Based on evidence from several songs in Eternal Doom the description in all known documents is wrong. The instruments are not stored in a 16-bit word but in an 8-bit byte, followed by some variable size data.
Known variations are:
* second byte is 0 - no additional data follows
* second byte is 1 - a third byte for the 'bank' value follows.
