Links through sector portals are not done because nearly all the checks can be performed without doing this so if it works without there's no need to add more processing time.
Will have to see if there's cases left where such a link is needed and if so, whether there's better options to do it.
For line portals such links are necessary to have proper collision detection with actors that are currently transitioning the portal.
- fixed: FMultiBlockLinesIterator initialized continueup twice but forgot continuedown.
- fixed: One of the debug messages in P_AimLineAttack was missing an if (aimdebug).
* when starting directly on a blockline the trace was offset by one map unit. Do this only for the internal block trace calculations but not for the variable that's being exposed to the outside because in rare situations that can create incorrect values.
* using startfrac could lead to an actor whose inside was right at that positon to be missed.
* when using startfrac the adjusted trace start was not used for all calculations, which could cause the trace to fail.
With these issues fixed, P_AimLineAttack can now successfully navigate line portals.
- converted the P_TranslatePortal* functions to use floating point trigonometry. The combination of R_PointToAngle and finesine even created discrepancies with perfectly parallel portals which is just not acceptable.
- added a function to FPathTraverse to relocate the trace and restart from the new position.
- made P_UseLines portal aware. Traversal through line portals is complete (all types, even teleporters), whether sector portals need better treatment remains to be seen - at the moment it only checks the range at the player's vertical center.
It can easily happen that the lower sector has no lines below the checked area, in which case it would not set the dropoffz correctly. To prevent this, P_LineOpening must, when it checks the opening over a sector portal, actually calculate the dropoff to the lower portal itself by calling sector_t::NextLowestPointAt. It also means that FindRefPoint must calculate a proper reference point when one side of the line to be checked is part of a floor portal.
- added portal offsetting to all AproxDistance, AngleTo and Vec*To members of AActor.
- optimized displacement retrieval so that the most common case with no offset retrieves a constant null-vector which can be optimized away fully by the compiler.
- early out in P_GetOffsetPosition if there's no portal lines nearby, so that the common case can skip the traverser completely even on maps with line portals.
* removed all code for dealing with z-displacing portals in the iterator loops. This would cause too many problems so I decided to scrap any provisions for allowing interactive portals with z-displacement. They will remain restricted to pure teleporter portals.
* changed spechit to carry a position along with the special line. If something is activated through an interactive portal this is needed to calculate movement.
* pass the abovementioned position to CheckForPushSpecial.
* collect touched portal lines in a second array analogous to spechit.
* use FMultiBlockThingsIterator in P_TestMobjZ.
(This is just a safety commit before doing some more extensive behind-the-scenes refactoring.)
Notable changes here:
* use the same logic for determining whether a 3D floor is 'below' or 'above' the actor as all the other functions.
* removed the broken code which tried to detect whether an actor was touching a steep slope. Better use P_LineOpening to find the correct planes and store the results.
* improved detection whether the slopes on both sides of a plane are identical, using the same data as for steep slope detection.
- some consolidation in p_map.cpp. PIT_CheckLine and PIT_FindFloorCeiling had quite a bit of redundancy which has been merged.
- čontinued work on FMultiBlockLinesIterator. It's still not completely finished.
A big problem with this function was that some flags required setting up some variables before calling it and others did not. It will now set everything up itself so all initializations to AActor::floorz and ceilingz that were made before these calls (which were all identical to begin with) could be removed and the internal initialization logic streamlined.
- removed Plane/Floor/CeilingAtPoint functions because they are overkill for the problem they were meant to solve. Calling ZatPoint with adjusted coordinates created with AActor::PosRelative is just as easy in the few places where this is needed.
- made P_HitWater and P_CheckSplash portal aware.
* the temporary checking arrays are now static
* the array that gets the returned values only starts allocating memory when the third touched sector group is found. The most common cases (no touched portal and one touched portal) can be handled without accessing the heap.
- did some streamlining of AActor::LinkToSector:
* there's only now version of this function that can handle everything
* moved the FIXMAPTHINGPOS stuff into a separate function.
* removed LinkToWorldForMapThing and put all special handling this function did into P_PointInSectorBuggy.
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 frac variable has fixed_t type it must be compared with fixed one
Test case: try to break stained glass windows or open door at the beginning of Hexen's MAP01
* since we can trivially decide whether a line crosses the trace behind the end point from checking the return value of P_InterceptVector, there is no need to add those to the list of intercepts as they get discarded anyway in t
* maxfrac is always FRACUNIT so there's no need to waste some variable for a constant value.
* 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.
When this function was originally written there was no possibility of fractional vertex coordinates so it threw away the fractional parts of the node's directional vector (which in the original nodes was always 0.)
Now, with UDMF and high precision vertices this no longer works and the loss of significant parts of their value caused this code to produce erroneous results if the linedefs were only a few map units long and using fractional positions.
its tracer so that it will look for a new target the next time it is called.
- Extended P_RoughMonsterSearch() with a flag to indicate that it should only search for seekable
targets.

respawns.
- Use doubles instead of floats, as appropriate, in PIT_FindFloorCeiling().
- Fixed: The second call to P_FindFloorCeiling() in A_RestoreSpecialPosition and P_NightmareRespawn()
must only consider 3D floors and midtexes.
SVN r3545 (trunk)
without resetting the actor's sector. The 3D floor checks in P_NightmareRespawn() and
A_RestoreSpecialPosition now use this.
- Fixed: P_NightmareRespawn() did its Z clamping before checking for 3D floors.
- Fixed: Respawning actors were not clamped to the ceiling.
SVN r3542 (trunk)
alters the opening. This fixes things such as removing a projectile when it hits a 3D midtex
instead of exploding it because the real floor or ceiling is sky.
SVN r3490 (trunk)
- fixed: D_ErrorCleanup must clear 'savegamerestore'.
- fixed: Cleaning up when loading a savegame failed while restoring the thinker list did not work. There were two issues:
* removed the asserts in GC::SweepList because they get triggered by thinkers that were not fully initialized during loading.
* AActor::UnlinkFromWorld may not assume that the sector list has been initialized when this function is called.
SVN r3274 (trunk)
* the unaltered floating point version is 10% faster than the 64 bit integer version.
* using doubles instead of floats increases performance by another 25%.
* another 15% can be gained by manually optimizing the code.
- P_InterceptVector now uses the optimized floating point version which is almost twice as fast as the 64bit integer version.
SVN r2395 (trunk)
- Restored some original Doom behavior that received complaints from users:
* reactivated the old sliding against diagonal walls code and compatibility optioned it with COMPATF_WALLRUN.
* re-added the original hitscan checking code using a cross-section of the actor instead of the bounding box, compatibility optioned with COMPATF_HITSCAN.
SVN r2340 (trunk)
- Cleaned up A_LookEx code and merged most of it with the base functions.
The major difference was a common piece of code that was repeated 5 times
throughout the code so I moved it into a subfunction.
- Changed P_BlockmapSearch to pass a user parameter to its callback so that
A_LookEx does not need to store its info inside the actor itself.
SVN r1846 (trunk)
- Added kill count awareness to A_ChangeFlag.
- P_NightmareRespawn() now clears the MTF_AMBUSH flag, so respawned monsters
aren't dormant (since there would be no way to activate them, and they
were certainly not dormant when they died).
SVN r1287 (trunk)
arbitrary point. It has been replaced with a variant that takes a polyobject
as a source, since that was the only use that couldn't be rewritten with the
other variants. This also fixes the bug that polyobject sounds were not
successfully saved and caused a crash when reloading the game. Note that
this is a significant change to how equality of sound sources is determined,
so some things may not behave quite the same as before. (Which would be a
bug, but hopefully everything still sounds the same.)
SVN r1059 (trunk)
they were outside the blockmap. This could cause extreme delays if an
iteration started outside the valid boundaries.
- added nextmap and nextsecret CCMDs.
SVN r924 (trunk)
- Removed FRadiusThingsIterator after discovering that VC++ misoptimized
it in P_CheckPosition. Now FBlockThingsIterator is used with the distance
check being done manually.
SVN r914 (trunk)
freed and each iterator allocated a new one as a result.
- Split the Xlat parser context class into a generic part that can be
used for other Lemon-based parsers in the future and a smaller
Xlat-specific part.
SVN r892 (trunk)
P_FindFloorCeiling never did that.
- Merged Check_Sides and PIT_CrossLine into A_PainShootSkull.
- Replaced P_BlockLinesIterator with FBlockLinesIterator in all places it was
used. This also allowed to remove all the global variable saving in
P_CreateSecNodeList.
- Added a new FBlockLinesIterator class that doesn't need a callback
function because debugging the previous bug proved to be a bit annoying
because it involved a P_BlockLinesIterator loop.
- Fixed: The MBF code to move monsters away from dropoffs did not work as
intended due to some random decisions in P_DoNewChaseDir. When in the
avoiding dropoff mode these are ignored now. This should cure the problem
that monsters hanging over a dropoff tended to drop down.
SVN r887 (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)
actor's sector in the game engine code with it. This way there's a clear
distinction between renderer-specific and game-specific calls.
SVN r638 (trunk)
cycled through the entire list of actors.
- Reverted AActor::FindState to its R407 version because the change in R408
doesn't compile properly with VC++.
- Changed FIXMAPTHINGPOS further so that it also affects objects that are
not directly on a wall but closer than its radius.
- Changed FIXEDMAPTHINGPOS to move objects completely out of the wall and
adjusted the radii of all affected objects to actually represent half
the sprite's width.
SVN r409 (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)
returning from one function to another function when the function that
was called was used as part of an expression.
- Fixed: Using Thing_Hate with arg0 (hater) set to 0 from an open script
could crash.
- Fixed: Some items along ledges in Hexen's MAP32 (Orchard of Lamentations)
appeared at the bottom of the ledge (and consequently inside it) instead
of on top of it because the items were placed directly on the lines.
AActor::LinkToWorldForMapThing() needs to use the original R_PointOnLineSide()
code to handle situations like this. Previously, it just used the original
code for straight horizontal/vertical lines and used the new code for
diagonal lines.
- Fixed: FWadCollection::MergeLumps() used in incorrect realloc.
- Fixed: FPlayList::NextLine() did not properly handle blank lines in the
playlist.
- Changed: Decals now use lightweight thinkers instead of actors. (76 bytes
versus 396, so you save 320k if you have 1024 decals present.)
- Fixed: Wads added with pullin were loaded immediately after the IWAD.
Exec files are now processed immediately before -file but after autoloading
wads in D_DoomMain().
- Fixed: sdl/i_system.h unconditionally defined SHARE_DIR, preventing
redefinition from the command line.
- Fixed: The standard way to include SDL.h is <SDL.h>, not <SDL/SDL.h>.
- Fixed: Returned FActiveInterpolation::HashKey()'s return type to size_t,
avoiding a pointer truncation warning.
