Updated version of Return to Hadron (dated 2016.01.03) has new version of E1M9: Prototype
This map requires vanilla's P_PointOnLineSide() function to avoid issue with sleepy shotgun guys

* 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.
- Envelope data needed to be converted to SF2 values.
- Fine tuning was ignored which made pretty much every instrument off tune.
- Despite this, it still sounds like shit compared to FMOD or Microsoft's
wavetable synth. There are lots of missing notes and some instruments
are still off tune. I'm not sure it's worth trying to salvage it. It'd
probably be better to scrap it, since Timidity is very much oriented
toward GF1 patches, which it handles perfectly fine.
- The missing comma on the first line of dBm_pan_volume's definition
looked suspicious, so I checked the MIDI specification at
http://www.midi.org/techspecs/rp36.php and found the equations
there gave different dB values than were in the table. So I
rebuilt it using the equation given there:
20*log (sin (Pi /2* max(0,CC#10 – 1)/126))
'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.
