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.
- Cleared some GCC and Clang warnings. Mostly static analysis false positives, but one of them generated a pretty massive warning in a release build.
- Use -Wno-unused-result since I doubt we're going to address those unless they actually prove to be a problem (and they only appear in release builds).
* the sight checking code needs to be as precise as possible and should not depend on some old semi-broken routines. (This is more a precision issue of these routines - P_PointOnDivlineSide removes the lower 8 bits of each value - than having an issue with returning the wrong side in some cases.)
* for slope creations it is flat out wrong to use the old routines at all.
* also ignore this in the modern (box-shaped) case of FPathTraverse::AddLineIntercepts. This functionality is new to ZDoom and therefore not subject to compatibility concerns.
* the line-to-line teleporter. It seems the hideous fudging code was just there to work around the design issues of these functions, so let's better not ever call them here in the first place.
* A_PainShootSkull: Its usage here does not depend on these issues.
* P_ExplodeMissile: New code exclusive to ZDoom.
* FPolyObj::CheckMobjBlocking
All occurences in p_map.cpp have been left alone although most of them probably won't need the compatibility option either.
'ceilingterrain' is needed because the top of 3D-floors refers to the model sector's ceiling, so in order to give a 3D floor a terrain it must be assignable to the sector's ceiling.
Note that although it is basically the same property, its actual function bears no relevance to its use in Eternity.
The previous version didn't detect some real mistakes in code which used operator& with the wrong flagset (for now 'converted' to the correcly equivalent counterpart, waiting for the proper fix).
- Added 'threshold' and 'defthreshold' to DECORATE expression exposure.
- ChaseThreshold sets the default threshold for how long a monster must chase one target before it can switch targets. Default is 100, must not be negative.
- A_SetChaseThreshold can be used to alter the current or default threshold of an actor <pointer>.
- Changing current threshold has no effect on what the default will be once it hits 0 and something makes it infight with another.
Introduce AActor::TakeInventory, which unifies DoTakeInv from ACS and DoTakeInventory from Decorate, and AInventory::DepleteOrDestroy, which is extracted from the DoTakeInv core function, and use both where they're needed.
I don't know if the differences between DoTakeInv and DoTakeInventory were intentional, so I kept both behaviors.

(This stops right before moving the conversation IDs into MAPINFO because that feature is quite conflict-heavy and will have to merged by itself.)
Tags are now handled by a tag manager class which stores sector/tag pairs. This way multiple entries can be added per sector.
Since UDMF does not have any arrays the additional tags are stored as a space separated string as 'MoreIDs'.
- Fixed: P_MoveThing had source and destination fog spawning backwards.
- Fixed a case where the NOTELEPORT flag would be ignored on A_Teleport.
- Added pointer selection to A_Teleport. Defaults to AAPTR_DEFAULT (calling actor). State jumps will only be done by the calling actor.
- Move MUSINFO change request out of FLevelLocals and into player_t. This
allows the MusicChanger actors to change music for each player
independantly. This is similar to PrBoom+, which switches depending on
the displayplayer. The difference being, we don't actually track the
music other players are listening to. (Which might not be a bad idea to
implement at some point.)
- Moved a few fields in player_t for better packing.
Hexen uses the spawn height value from the mapthing_t structure to offset the item when floatbobbing. With proper gravity handling enabled this method doesn't really work so as a workaround ZDoom will now enable a hidden compatibility option when playing any map with a Hexen format MAPINFO so that any positive value in this field will make P_ZMovement revert to the original method of setting the items height (excluding the floatbob offset, of course.)
This also removes some code from P_NightmareRespawn that originate from the original Hexen method for floatbobbing which aren't needed anymore
- "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
- Some of the changes were downright wrong and some were pointless, so undo
everything that doesn't look like an actual improvement.
- Rippers will rip through anything with an equivalent ripper level, or if their level is between or on the min and max ranges.
- If no min or max is defined, it simply checks if the monster's ripper level is lower than the missiles.
- Functions: A_SetRipperLevel(int level), A_SetRipMin(int min), A_SetRipMax(int max)
- Properties: RipperLevel, RipLevelMin, and RipLevelMax.
- RipperLevel: Applicable to monsters and projectiles.
- RipLevelMin and RipLevelMax are only useful on monsters.
- By default, all are 0.

- Added register reuse to VMFunctionBuilder for FxPick's code emitter.
- Note to self: Need to reimplement IsPointerEqual and CheckClass, which
were added to thingdef_function.cpp over the past year, as this file no
longer exists in this branch.
- New properties include TeleFogSourceType and TeleFogDestType.
- TeleFogSourceType is the fog left behind where the actor teleported away from.
- TeleFogDestType is the fog the actor sees when it arrives at its destination.
- Added A_SetTeleFog(<oldpos>,<newpos>) -- oldpos sets TeleFogSourceType, newpos sets TeleFogDestType.
- HITTARGET, HITMASTER, and HITTRACER.
- A missile that dies hitting an actor will set this impacted actor as the new target/master/tracer, depending on specifications.
- Added THRUREFLECT, MIRRORREFLECT, and AIMREFLECT. All require REFLECTIVE to work.
- THRUREFLECT prevents missiles from changing course if reflected, and takes precedence over all reflective flags.
- MIRRORREFLECT causes missiles to perform a direct 180 turn-around.
- AIMREFLECT turns the missile back to the original shooter, and does not slow the missile down.
