With this, one can use its self-replacement code (which copies a bunch of its state into the replacement actor, and monitors for boss death if appropriate), but select the replacement class based on some other criteria (map number, the player's RPG stats, the player's class, etc).
Previously, a RandomSpawner with infinite recursion would hang the game, because the recursion check was happening before the recursion counter (bouncecount) was set.
Why? So mods that reveal enemy names don't show internal monster class names.
Tags are based on language.enu lump:
- Tags for Doom/Doom 2 monsters are referring directly to CC_* strings.
- Tags for Heretic monsters are based on obituaries.
- All tags match corresponding obituaries.
Actors get initialized from their defaults so anything done in the constructor or some explicit member initialization will be overwritten.
They must use their properties for setting up configurable fields and do the rest in BeginPlay.
Ambush flag cannot be used for marking visited points because HandleSpawnFlags() is no longer virtual
See E1M4 from Rise Of The Wool Ball v1.1 as example of broken chain
This was very poorly done without ever addressing the issues a composite render style can bring, it merely dealt with the known legacy render styles.
The same, identical code was also present in two different places.
The oversight that AlterWeaponSprite overrode even forced styles was also fixed.
OpenGL is not implemented yet but with the problems eliminated should be doable now.
- changed the effect spawn prevention of the Hexen flame strike weapon and reverted the attempt to fix this in FastProjectile.
This cannot be fixed in the base class, which was doing everything right. It's the flame missile that was doing undefined things by stopping its movement without clearing its missile flag. This cannot work because missiles are given some minimal forced velocity to ensure collision detection and any attempt to address this without clearing the missile flag is doomed to fail.
Fullscreen HUD done with the exception of key and inventory bar. I also used the opportunity to make it a bit more resistant against badly designed inventory icons.
Note that the Strife status bar does not draw the health bars yet. I tried to replace the hacky custom texture with a single fill operation but had to find out that all the coordinate mangling for the status bar is being done deep in the video code. This needs to be fixed before this can be made to work.
Currently this is not usable in mods because they cannot initialize custom status bars yet.
This gets only called from within the play code and making it const would block potential use cases that involve changing some internal variables like counters.
Clearscope is a dangerous context and should be limited to the minimum extent possible and preferably be blocked in user code.
This may still need some work on const functions but better have it in now.
