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.
'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.
- 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.
- 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.
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'.
- 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.
- Squashed commit of the following:

Added QF_WAVE to A_QuakeEx.
- Changes the random quakes into a sine wave (see Shadow Warrior/Rise of the Triad reboots, Hard Reset, etc.)
- Added 3 properties to control waves per second along each individual axis. Only works with QF_WAVE.
- Intensity X/Y/Z property becomes the amplitude of the wave.
- Stacks with regular quakes, allowing shaking along the camera which must be called using A_QuakeEx WITHOUT the flag, or the other quaking functions.
- Uses the youngest quake's time for positioning.

Some more progress, but...
- This did not solve anything. In fact, it did the opposite -- completely broke wave quakes. Now they only happen whenever a random quake is in progress.
- Left in the commented code on purpose so Randi can test it.

QF_WAVE renamed from SINE.
- Lots of ground covered, but still more to go.
- Still need to figure out how to make the camera properly shudder.
commit 427e4893193470bbf45415ffec70a0b69b8cccfd
Author: MajorCooke <paul.growney22@gmail.com>
Date: Sun Feb 22 16:52:30 2015 -0600
- Begin the groundworks for QF_SINE.
- Need to figure out how to rework and manipulate the sine wave to move faster, and to allow going below 0 without breaking it too much.
- Relative quakes are different from other quakes; all quakes affecting
the camera do not become relative if one of them is relative.
- Use a single function call to get quake visual parameters instead of four.
- Thrust things in a psuedo-ellipse if they're inside a damaging quake whose
IntensityX != IntensityY.
- Don't break old savegames.
- 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.
The 'unix' identifier isn't defined when '-std' is passed to the compiler (tested with gcc and clang), so use '__unix__' which is well enough documented.
- fixed: DamageTypeReceived was not serialized.
- fixed: The check for unhandled damage type was rendered ineffective by the old code handling the DeathType.
- Use functions in gitinfo.cpp to retrieve the strings from gitinfo.h so
that changes to gitinfo.h only require recompiling one file instead of
several.
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.
SVN r3448 (trunk)
- added DECORATE properties for accuracy and stamina.
- Since these changes move properties from player_t to AActor all savegame compatibility code was removed and the min. savegame version bumped.
SVN r3427 (trunk)
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.
SVN r3365 (trunk)
* savegames stored an index in the switch table and performed no validation when loading a savegame.
* setting of a random switch animation duration was broken.
* separated the 2 values stored in the Time variable into 2 separate variables.
* defining a switch with one texture already belonging to another switch could leave broken definitions in the switch table.
- added function for serializing switch and door animation pointers.
- bumped min. savegame versions due to changes to DButtonThinker and removed all current savegame compatibility code.
SVN r3030 (trunk)
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().
SVN r2120 (trunk)
BOUNCE_MBF and BOUNCE_UseSeeSound, too, when clearing one of these flags.
- Fixed: When adding the AVOIDMELEE code the code was accidentally changed so that
friendly monsters could no longer acquire targets by themselves.
- Renamed WIF_BOT_MELEE to WIF_MELEEWEAPON because it's no longer a bot only flag.
- Added MBF's monster_backing feature as an actor flag: AVOIDMELEE.
SVN r1848 (trunk)
* MBF's dog (definition only, no sprites yet.)
* User variables. There's an array of 10. They can be set and checked in both DECORATE and ACS.
* Made the tag name changeable but eliminated the redundancy of having both the meta property and the individual actor's one. Having one is fully sufficient. TO BE FIXED: Names are case insensitive but this should better be case sensitive. Unfortunately there's currently nothing better than FName to store a string inside an actor without severely complicating matters. Also bumped savegame version to avoid problems with this change.
SVN r1823 (trunk)
* 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.
SVN r1819 (trunk)
- Fixed: The non-Windows CreatePath can fail if part of the path already
exists, because mkdir will return an error code for trying to recreate
an existing directory.
SVN r1814 (trunk)
the game has finished.
- Added NOBOSSRIP flag. Note: we are now at flags6!
- Added SetSkyScrollSpeed(int skyplane, fixed speed) ACS function.
- Added THRUACTORS flag that disables all actor<->actor collision detection.
- Added DONTSEEKINVISIBLE flag for missiles that can't home in on invisible
targets.
- Added SFX_TRANSFERPITCH flag to A_SpawnItemEx.
- Added Ultimate Freedoom IWAD detection.
- Added GetAirSupply and SetAirSupply functions to ACS.
- Fixed: The *surface sound was not played when drowning was switched off
by setting the level's air supply to 0.
SVN r1619 (trunk)
- Changed bounce flags into a property and added real bouncing sound properties.
Compatibility modes to preserve use of the SeeSound are present and the old
flags map to these.
SVN r1599 (trunk)
- Removed #pragma warnings from cmdlib.h and fixed the places where they were
still triggered.
These #pragmas were responsible for >90% of the GCC warnings that were not
listed in VC++.
- Fixed one bug in the process: DSeqNode::m_Atten was never adjusted when the
parameter handling of the sound functions for attenuation was changed.
Changed m_Atten to a float and fixed the SNDSEQ parser to set proper values.
Also added the option to specify attenuation with direct values in addition
to the predefined names.
SVN r1583 (trunk)
cryptographically secure random number generator, if available, instead
of the current time.
- Changed the random number generator from Lee Killough's algorithm to the
SFMT607 variant of the Mersenne Twister.
SVN r1507 (trunk)
- Fixed: Gravity application was not correct. For actors with no vertical
momentum the initial pull is supposed to be twice as strong as when
vertical movement already takes place.
- added invquery CCMD like in Strife. Also removed all underscores from the
tag strings so that they can be printed properly.
- Fixed: Skill baby was missing 'autousehealth' for all games.
- Added a new CVAR: sv_disableautohealth
- Autouse of health items is no longer hardwired to the default item classes.
There's a new property HealthPickup.Autouse. 0 means no autouse, 1 a small
Raven health item, 2 a large Raven health item and 3 a Strife item.
SVN r1452 (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.
SVN r1430 (trunk)
have those escapes stripped before printing so that they do not merge with
subsequent text.
- Moved default weapon slot assignments into the player classes.
Weapon.SlotNumber is now used solely for mods that want to add new weapons
without completely redoing the player's arsenal. Restored some config-based
weapon slot customization, though slots are no longer automatically saved
to the config and section names have changed slightly. However, unlike
before, config slots are now the definitive word on slot assignments and
cannot be overridden by any other files loaded.
- Fixed: Several weapons were missing a game filter from their definitions.
- Removed storage of weapon slots in the config so that weapon slots can
be setup in the weapons themselves. Slots are still configurable, since
they need to be for KEYCONF to work; any changes simply won't be saved
when you quit.
- Removed limit on weapon slot sizes.
SVN r1428 (trunk)
summoning.
- Added Karate Chris's fix for Serpent Staff vampirism on teammates.
- Locks and teleporters now take precedence over one-sidedness for automap
coloring.
SVN r1317 (trunk)
failed to start the demo.
- Added a MF5_BRIGHT flag to always render an actor fullbright.
- Fixed: Calling Door_Animated with a non-zero tag created a new thinker
for each two-sided line of the sector.
- Added Karate Chris's submission for making 'spray' a cheat.
- Added CO2's default parameter additions for several Doom code pointers
submission.
- Added CO2's A_RemoveMaster/A_RemoveChildren submission.
- Added Blzut3's SBARINFO replacement for the Doom statusbar.
- Fixed: SBarInfo still displayed the wrong bar for height 0
- Added A_KillSiblings and A_DamageSiblings code pointers.
- added MaxAbsorb and MaxFullAbsorb properties for Armor.
SVN r1304 (trunk)
against decorations without breaking anything newer:
Added a new 'projectilepassheight' property that defines an alternative height
that is only used when checking a projectile's movement against this actor.
If the value is positive it is used regardless of other settings, if it is
negative, its absolute will be used if a new compatibility option is enabled
and if it is 0 the normal height will be used.
SVN r1253 (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)
pieces.
- Added DECORATE conversions for Hexen's Fighter weapons by Karate Chris.
- Added aWeaponGiver class to generalize the standing AssaultGun.
- converted a_Strifeweapons.cpp to DECORATE, except for the Sigil.
SVN r1129 (trunk)
