Decorate: IsPointerEqual(int aaptr_selector1, int aaptr_selector2)
ACS: IsPointerEqual(int aaptr_selector1, int aaptr_selector2, int tid1 = 0, int tid2 = 0)
Compare the pointers values returned by two pointer select operations. Returns true if they both resolve to the same value. Null values can be explicitly tested using IsPointerEqual(AAPTR_NULL, ...)
ACS: IsPointerEqual(int aaptr1, int aaptr2, int tid1 = 0, int tid2 = 0)
This function lets you compare pointers from other actors than the activator, using tids. Tid1 determines the actor used to resolve aaptr1, Tid2 does the same for aaptr2. If tid1 and tid2 are equal, the same actor will be used for resolving both pointers (that could always happen randomly; this way you know it will happen).
The optimizer miscompiles the function FBehavior::LoadScriptsDirectory and causes random crashes when zdoom is run with wads containing scripts.
As said in the comment, I just hope that the Clang devs fix it for the next patching release, ie 3.5.1.
- Added CF_INTERPVIEW flag for players. A_SetPitch/A_SetAngle and the
similar ACS APROPs set this when changing an angle. This forces the
renderer to interpolate the view angles instead of updating with the
latest mouse positions. The effect lasts one tick.
- Fixed: When an ACS string pool was read from a savegame, FirstFreeEntry
would not be updatedt, except by the Clear() function. This left FirstFreeEntry
at 0, which meant the next string added to the pool would always go in
slot 0, whether it was free or not.
- If a player is spying through another player, CheckPlayerCamera will
return the TID of the player you are "spying", but as coopspy isn't a
net command, this wont be reflected by all nodes. So to fix this,
CheckPlayerCamera now returns -1 if a player's camera is that of any
player at all. (thanks edward850)
int SpawnDecal(int tid, str decalname, int flags, fixed angle, int zoffset, int distance)
Traces a line from tid's actor until hitting a wall, then creates a decal there. Returns the
number of decals spawned.
* tid = Which actor(s) to start the trace at.
* decalname = Which decal to spawn.
* flags =
* SDF_ABSANGLE = Angle parameter is an absolute angle. Otherwise, it's relative to the origin actor's angle.
* SDF_PERMANENT = Decal ignores cl_maxdecals. Otherwise, it will eventually disappear.
* angle = Direction in which to search for a wall. Defaults to 0.0.
* zoffset = Offset from the middle of the origin actor for the Z height of the decal. Defaults to 0.
* distance = Maximum distance to search for a wall. Defaults to 64.

- Fixed: ACSStringPool::InsertString()'s overflow check was far too low.
- Fixed: When ACSStringPool::InsertString() triggered a garbage collection, it ignored the
newly freed space and expanded the array anyway.

of taking an actual sound name as its second parameter, it selects the sound to play based on
the actor playing the sound and the selector passed as the second parameter.

* The standard C functions strcmp and stricmp (aka strcasecmp), which double up as strncmp and strnicmp if you pass a third argument.
* The BASIC-like functions strleft, strright, and strmid, which extract parts of a string to
create a new string.

counterparts except that (1) PlaySound requires you to specify a sound instead of defaulting
to "weapons/pistol", and (2) StopSound defaults to CHAN_BODY instead of CHAN_VOICE.

major change to ACS's workings. However, I had an epiphany yesterday and just had to do this, since it seems like too big a deal to hold off until a later release:
- Dynamically generated strings returned via strparam and get(user)cvar now last as long as they
need to. They do not disappear at the end of each tic. You can now safely store them in
variables and hold on to them indefinitely. In addition, strings from libraries no longer
require you to load the exact same libraries in the exact same order. You can even store a
library's string in a world variable and retrieve it on another map that doesn't load the
library at all, and it will still be the correct string.
- ACS library IDs now only get 12 bits instead of 16 so that each string table can hold up
to about a million strings instead of just 65536. This shouldn't be a problem, although it
means that save games that had strings with the larger IDs stored in variables are no
longer compatible. Since many saves don't involve libraries at all, and even many that do
are not actually affected, I'm not bumping the min save version. The worst that can happen
is that you get no text at all where some was expected.

counterparts, except that they return strings. Like strparam, the strings they return are
only guaranteed to be valid for the tick they are called during. (Note that these work with any
cvar, not just string ones.)
SVN r4293 (trunk)
counterparts except that their value argument is an ACS string. (Note that they work with any
type of cvar, not just string cvars.)
- Make UCVarValue::String point to a constant string.

* int GetUserCVar(int playernum, "cvarname")
* bool SetCVar("cvarname", newvalue)
* bool SetUserCVar(int playernum, "cvarname", newvalue)
GetUserCVar is analogous to GetCVar, except it returns the value of a user cvar for a
specific player. (All user cvars can be examined using the playerinfo console command.)
SetCVar sets a cvar to a new value. If the cvar is floating point, then newvalue is treated
as a fixed point number, otherwise it's treated as an integer. SetUserCVar is the same, but
for a specific player's user cvar.
SetCVar and SetUserCVar can only change cvars created via CVARINFO. They cannot alter built-in cvars.
If you use GetCVar or SetCVar with a user cvar, they will act on the copy of the user cvar
for the player who activated the script. e.g.
GetCVar("gender")
is the same as
GetUserCVar(PlayerNumber(), "gender")
If you get the value of a floating point cvar, it will be returned as a fixed point number.
Otherwise, it will be returned as an integer.

- Separated CVAR_MODARCHIVE into CVAR_MOD|CVAR_ARCHIVE so that mod-defined cvars can still be
identified when they aren't meant to be archived.

of the form:
<scope> [noarchive] <type> <name> [= <defaultvalue>];
Where <scope> is one of:
* server: This cvar is shared by all players, and in network games, only select players can
change it.
* user: Each player has their own copy of this cvar, which they can change independently.
To prevent the cvar from being written to the config file, add noarchive to its definition.
<Type> is one of:
* int: An integral value. Defaults to 0.
* float: A value that can include a fraction. Defaults to 0.0.
* color: A color value. Default to black ("00 00 00").
* bool: A boolean value that can hold either true or false. Defaults to false.
* string: A string value. It's not too useful for mods but is included for completeness. Defaults to "".
<Name> is the cvar's name and must begin with a letter and may only include alphanumeric
characters and the underscore character.
If you wish a non-standard default add an = character after the cvar's name followed by the
default value you want to use. Example:
server int mymod_coolness = 10;
- Fixed: FStringCVar::SetGenericRepDefault() did not make a copy of the input string.

* acsprofile clear - Resets all profiling statistics to 0.
* acsprofile [<sort-function>] [<limit>]:
* <sort-function> is an optional argument that specifies which column to sort on (total, min, max, avg, or runs). The default is total.
* <limit> is an optional argument that specifies how many rows to limit the output to. The default is 10. 0 or less will print every script or function that has at least one run.

and two new functions, both of which are intended for use in conjunction with SetHUDSize:
* SetHUDClipRect(x, y, width, height[, wrapwidth]) - Set the clipping rectangle for future
HUD messages. If you do not specify <wrapwidth>, the HUD message will be layed out as
normal, but pixels outside the rectangle will not be drawn. If you specify <wrapwidth>,
then the message will be wrapped to that width. Use SetHUDClipRect(0, 0, 0, 0[, 0]) to
reset everything
back to normal.
* SetHUDWrapWidth(wrapwidth) - Sets the wrapping width for future HUD messages without
altering the clipping rectangle. If you set the wrapping width to 0, messages will wrap
to the full width of the HUD, as normal.
* HUDMSG_NOWRAP - A HUDMessage() flag that disables wrapping for one message. It is
functionally equivalent to SetHUDWrapWidth(0x7FFFFFFF), except that it only affects the
message it's attached to.

be no conflicts with recently-added named arguments for spawnable things on UDMF maps.
- Change the SpawnableThings array into a map, so there is no longer any particular upper limit on an actor's SpawnID. Also fixes a possible exploit, since an actor's SpawnID was never checked to make sure it was within range.
