* it was never saved in savegames, leaving the state of dead bodies undefined
* it shouldn't be subjected to pointer substitution because all it contains is old dead bodies, not live ones.
* Colors can npw be defined per sidedef, not only per sector.
* Gradients can be selectively disabled or vertically flipped per wall tier.
* Gradients can be clamped to their respective tier, i.e top and bottom of the tier, not the front sector defines where it starts.
The per-wall colors are implemented for hardware and softpoly renderer only, but not for the classic software renderer, because its code is far too scattered to do this efficiently.
A section is a continuous part of a sector or in some case of several nearby continuous parts. For sectors with far away parts multiple sections will be created, especially when they lie in disjoint parts of the map.
This is mainly supposed to cut down on time for linking dynamic lights. Since they need to traverse subsectors to find all touching sidedefs a more coarse data structure that only contains the info needed for this is more suitable. In particular, this does not contain any intra-sector lines, i.e. those with both sides in the same sector.
- precalculate if a sector's floor and ceiling plane overlap. This avoids rechecking this for each single call of hw_FakeFlat.
- vertices must be marked dirty every time they change after map setup. That means that ChangePlaneTexZ must do this as well, because it cannot rely on interpolation taking care of it.
- Having a 'dirty' argument for SetPlaneTexZ's ZScript version makes no sense. If the value changes from the script side the vertices must always be marked to be recalculated.
This was all over the place, with half of it using the function and half doing incomplete checks on the underlying variables.
Also did some optimization on the IGNOREHEIGHTSEC flag: Putting it on the destination sector instead of the model sector makes the check even simpler and allows to precalculate the effect of 3D floors on the heightsec, which previously had to be run on every call and made the function too complex for inlining.
* use names, not strings, to allow use of switch/case.
* avoid creating the checksum a second time per level.
* do an early-out check for maps that do not have scripted compatibility.
- with renderers freely switchable, some shortcuts in the 3D floor code had to be removed, because now the hardware renderer can get FF_THISINSIDE-flagged 3D floors.
- changed handling of attenuated lights in the legacy renderer to be adjusted when being rendered instead of when being spawned. For the software renderer the light needs to retain its original values.
This does not work with a setup where the same backend is driving both renderers.
Most of this is now routed through 'screen', and the decision between renderers has to be made inside the actual render functions.
The software renderer is still driven by a thin opaque interface to keep it mostly an isolated module.
* the MAPINFO options now get handled in g_mapinfo.cpp and g_level.cpp, just like the rest of them as members of level_info_t and FLevelLocals.
* RecalcVertexHeights has been made a member of vertex_t and been moved to p_sectors.cpp.
* the dumpgeometry CCMD has been moved to p_setup.cpp
This was done mainly to reduce the amount of occurences of the word FTexture but it immediately helped detect two small and mostly harmless bugs that were found due to the stricter type checks.
* initial positioning in a subsection of a file failed. This mainly affected music playback.
* made the FileRdr constructor which takes a FileReaderInterface private so that everything that needs it must be explicitly declared as friend.
* removed a few redundant construction initializers for FileRdrs.
* loading compressed nodes needs to check the validity of its reader.
* use GetLength to detemine the size of a Zip file instead of doing another seek to the end.
* removed duplicate Length variables.
