This reverts commit dd03bb1fcb.
Turns out that making this work in GL will create a complete mess so better remove the option as it would only cause problems.
Both of these may be true when occuring during normal gameplay, but not during an exception unwind in the serializer, which caused crashes if ACS errored out due to mismatched scripts.
The general rule is as follows: A class name as a string will always be looked up fully, even if the class name gets shadows by another variable because strings are not identifiers.
It is only class names as identifiers that must obey the rule that if it is not known yet or hidden by something else that it may not be found to ensure that the older variable does not take over the name if it gets reused.
If a later module reused an existing name for a different class or struct type, this new name would completely shadow the old one, even in the base files.
Changed it so that each compilation unit (i.e. each ZScript and DECORATE lump) get their own symbol table and can only see the symbol tables that got defined in lower numbered resource files so that later definitions do not pollute the available list of symbols when running the compiler backend and code generator - which happens after everything has been parsed.
Another effect of this is that a mod that reuses the name of an internal global constant will only see its own constant, again reducing the risk of potential errors in case the internal definitions add some new values.
Global constants are still discouraged from being used because what this does not and can not handle is the case that a mod defines a global constant with the same name as a class variable. In such a case the class variable will always take precedence for code inside that class.
Note that the internal struct String had to be renamed for this because the stricter checks did not let the type String pass on the left side of a '.' anymore.
- made PEnum inherit from PInt and not from PNamedType.
The old inheritance broke nearly every check for integer compatibility in the compiler, so this hopefully leads to a working enum implementation.
- load internal shaders only from file 0. This does not contain aborts, like most of the other checks,but it will now refuse to load any core shader file from anything but gzdoom.pk3.
Issuing take CCMD no longer causes assertion failure at src/scripting/vm/vmexec.h:662
assert(numret == C && "Number of parameters returned differs from what was expected by the caller")
This serves no purpose, there's not a single place in the code which checks for it, but if that negative values goes unchecked to functions that expect an actually meaningful value for damage inflicted, some bad results can happen. If no damage is inflicted, a proper 0 needs to be returned so that the value can actually be worked with. The return value was a ZDoom invention, it is completely unclear why -1 was chosen if some kind of protection rendered the damage ineffective.
- fixed the return type checks in CallStateChain. These made some bogus assumptions about what return prototypes to support and would have skipped any multi-return function whose first argument was actually usable.
The idea is, when status bars are moved to ZScript that only this small wrapper class needs to be dealt with and the implementation can be left alone. SBARINFO is far too complex to be scriptified, but having it inherit directly from DBaseStatusBar and access its member variables severely limits the options of dealing with the status bar code. This way, it only accesses some globally visible functions in DBaseStatusBar and no variables.
- renamed the global ST_X and ST_Y variables because it is far too confusing and error-prone to have the same names inside and outside DBaseStatusBar.
This should for now conclude actor class scriptification. The remaining ten classes with the exception of MorphedMonster are all too essential or too closely tied to engine feature so they should remain native.
* completely scriptified DehackedPickup and FakeInventory.
* scriptified all remaining virtual functions of Inventory, so that its inheritance is now 100% script-side.
* scriptified CallTryPickup and most of the code called by that.
- fixed: Passing local variables by reference did not work in the VM.
- fixed: ClearInventory did not process depleted items properly.
- changed HexenArmor from UNDROPPABLE to UNTOSSABLE because this allowed to remove some special handling in ClearInventory. The only other place which checks this flag also checks UNTOSSABLE.
- replaced Key.KeyNumber with special1. This is only for internal bookkeeping purposes so there's really no need to complicate this with a new variable when this one works just as well.
- ensure that actor defaults contain a valid virtual table and class pointer so that they can actually use virtual and class-dependent method functions. This is needed for retrieving script variables from them.
- added some helpers to set scripted member variables through the native property parser.
Unfortunately some classes, e.g. PowerMorph, MorphProjectile and the powerup contain some that cannot be handled through the 'property' definition on the script side so they need to be done from the native side.
- improved the class pointer to string cast to print the actual type it describes and not the class pointer's own type.
- fixed: The 'is' operator created non-working code when checking the inheritance of a class pointer, it only worked for objects.
libmpg123 spews quite a lot of debug stuff in stdout when encountering files like WAV or Ogg Vorbis, while libsndfile is silent when encountering an MP3 file.
This revealed an interesting bug: When the berserk fadout formula was changed in 2005 the result was essentially broken, resulting in values around 7000 - it only worked by happenstance because the lower 8 bits of the resulting values just happened to work to some degree and never overflowed. But the resulting fade was far too weak and a slightly different handling of the color composition code for the VM made it break down entirely.
This restores the pre-2005 formula but weakened intensity which now comes a lot closer to how it is supposed to look.
- support transient object member variables for information that does not need to be put in a savegame.
- fixed: special initialization of objects needs to pass the proper defaults along, otherwise the parent classes will use their own, inappropriate one.

The IsActivatedByUse implementation was essentially useless because the value was not serialized so it got lost as soon as the game was reloaded from a savegame.
With the refactoring this is no longer an issue but the access function needed to be changed over to read the info from 'health'.
The entire setup was quite broken with each item using its own activation result and the ones of the subsequent items in the list as the return value.
This rendered the STANDSTILL check in the main function totally unpredictable because the value it depended on could come from any item in the list.
Changed it so that the main dispatcher function is part of sector_t and does the stepping through the list iteratively instead of letting each item recursively call its successor and let this function decide for each item alone whether it should be removed.
The broken setup also had the effect that any MusicChanger would trigger all following SecActEnter specials right on msp start.
This can be done with a lot less overhead by using one of the object's properties to store the activation flag, so that all the nearly redundant trigger methods can be folded into one.
This was done to ensure it can be properly overridden in scripts without causing problems when called during engine shutdown for the type and symbol objects the VM needs to work and to have the scripted version always run first.
Since the scripted OnDestroy method never calls the native version - the native one is run after the scripted one - this can be simply skipped over during shutdown.
No need to maintain these clunky meta class for one single property. The overhead the mere existence of this class creates is far more than 100 spawned ammo items would cost.
There is no need to serialize AAmmo::DropAmount, this value has no meaning on an already spawned item.
There are a few which require explicit native construction or destruction that need to be exported to the VM, e.g. FCheckPosition.
The VM cannot handle this directly, it needs two special functions to be attached to handle such elements.
- created script exports for all relevant functions with all integral types.
- created script side definitions for the underlying data types.
- added a void pointer type so that the prototype for the pointer array can use a generic type every pointer can be assigned to.
It can actually happen that the thinker chain gets broken if an actor being iterated happens to destroy the immediately following actor in the chain as well. In that case both actors lose their chain links and the iterator cannot advance any further, the only solution to avoid a crash is to terminate the iteration of the current list.
- got rid of glsegextras.
This was probably one of the most ill-conceived means to save some memory in ZDoom, but now, when a pure software rendered engine no longer needs to be considered it's just totally useless to keep this mess in.
- disabled the Build map loader after finding out that it has been completely broken and nonfunctional for a long time. Since this has no real value it will probably removed entirely in an upcoming commit.
- widened ttl variable in particle_t to short to allow longer living particles than 6 seconds.
- reordered fields in particle_t to reduce struct size a bit.
This is mostly a straight refactoring of the existing code to work independently of specific member variables in the involved classes, using a bit of template magic to avoid redundancy and moving the work code into subfunctions.
It still needs some testing to see if it a) helps fix the crash issues and b) doesn't break anything-
These are rather small and extremely frequently allocated, so they are prime candidates for memory arena, because it not only avoids fragmentation and internal overhead due to mass allocation of small memory blocks but it also makes it a lot faster to free the memory when finishing a level.
Fixed Apple's Clang warnings:
absolute value function 'abs' given an argument of type 'long long' but has parameter of type 'int' which may cause truncation of value
