currentUILevel is now primaryLevel.
For ZScript, currentVMLevel was added. This is also exported as 'level' and will change as needed.
This also means that no breaking deprecations will be needed in the future, because in order to sandbox a level only 4 variables need to be handled: level, players, playeringame and consoleplayer.
The remaining global variables are not relevant for the level state.
The static 'level' has been mostly removed from the code except some places that still need work.
I think these were the last two still missing it, all remaining uses of the global level variable are in code that doesn't get run through a level tick and are supposed to access the primary level.
Two files were split:
g_level.h contained both the game data definitions and some prototypes belonging to the game logic. These were split up.
decallib.cpp contained both the data and the animation thinkers. The thinkers are now in their own file.
There is one exception in ACS for a net arbitrator check.
Aside from this the bot_observer CVAR was also removed. This was never implemented properly and could stomp upon custom player settings.
The playsim really has no idea what the renderer is supposed to do here and the current system has some serious issues that eventually need addressing. So it is better to just set a flag that an actor needs to have its view interpolation reset if being used as a camera and let the render code deal with it.
This will keep the playsim clean of future changes to this feature.

The menu is a very 'dirty' header, and forcing it to be pulled in with something entirely unrelated is not good - even though only two files include oalsound.h.
- Allows defining of what actor is replacing another for information.
- If multiple arachnotrons, a modder can attribute them as being a replacer of Arachnotron itself, allowing A_BossDeath and GetReplacee to work with it.
This was always used with 'consoleplayer' which really is the only thing making sense here. But this is a part of the global state which should be avoided in play code.
In particular, this makes no real sense in case of secondary maps where it should always return false.
This is supposed to be come the place where all pure play code should be placed, but for that all CVARs and CCMDs and other things that do not directly handle play data should be taken out to make code reviewing easier. These now get collected in two separate files, g_cvars.cpp and g_dumpinfo.cpp respectively.
The sole ZScript property in here has also been moved - to thingdef_properties.cpp.
This made reviewing the code for accessing the global state hard, because the doomdef.h contains mainly constants, this particular item was the only thing in there that represents actual engine state.
The Map loader may not access any global state at all - everything it can touch must be exchangable.
Furthermore, if we want to sandbox each level, there may be no direct access to any kind of global state whatsoever from the play code.
It used the current console player's camera, not the actual camera being used for rendering. Although this is the same most of the time, let's better do it right.
This also removes a few leftover references to the player array elsewhwere in the hardware renderer
All these required access to the sector's Level reference.
The remaining references to the global 'level' variable are all in deprecated functions which is ok.
LevelLocals on the left side of.a function call will now always be remapped to 'Level', which will either remap to the same-named instance variable or the global deprecated one.
In a few degenerate cases where there is a conflicting local variable named 'level' it may error out but that is unavoidable here but this is very unlikely.
- moved parts of the render setup out of the separate render functions.
Things like particle and polyobject linking were duplicated several times for rendering different things in different renderers.
These things only need to be set up once before the renderer is started so it makes a lot more sense to consolidate them into one place outside the actual rendering code.
This had two different flags that were checked totally inconsistently, and one was not even saved.
Moved everything into a few subfunctions so that these checks do not have to be scattered all over the code.
There is no need to do this deep inside the renderer where it required code duplication and made it problematic to execute on multiple levels.
This is now being done before and after the top level call into the renderer in d_main.cpp.
This also serializes the interpolator itself to avoid problems with the Serialize functions adding the interpolations into the list which can only work with a single global instance.
The shader timer may be taken from the primary level for the entire scene, because it will always be the same for all levels in a set.
The camera textures need to be prepared for all levels.
Since currently there is only one level, this will obvciously only run once on that level for the time being.
This is mainly used for CCMDs and CVARs which either print some diagnostics or change some user-settable configuration.
Depending on serialization order is not a good idea here, so now it's no longer stored as a parent in the main level script but explicitly checked for when looking for a variable.
This is what should be audible. To prevent other levels from playing sound, all entry points check whether the sound playing entity belongs to the current UI level.

This was done to ensure that this code only runs when the thinker itself is fully set up.
With a constructor there is no control about such things, if some common initialization needs to be done it has to be in the base constructor, but that makes the entire approach chosen here to ensure proper linking into the thinker chains impossible.
ZDoom originally did it that way, which resulted in a very inflexible system and required some awful hacks to let the serializer work with it - the corresponding bSerialOverride flag is now gone.
The only thinker class still having a constructor is DFraggleThinker, because it contains non-serializable data that needs to be initialized in a piece of code that always runs, regardless of whether the object is created explicitly or from a savegame.
Doing this intermingled with the thinkers is highly unsafe because there are absolutely no guarantees about order of execution.
Effectively it ran these commands right in the middle of the playsim which could cause all sorts of synchronization issues, because CCMDs are part of the UI, not the playsim.
- pass a const string to AddCommandString.
This function manipulated the input buffer, leading to all sorts of code contortions to make sure that the passed parameter is clean for that.
This function will now create a copy of the passed parameter which it can manipulate without complicating its calling code.

This doesn't really write out any info for the pointer, if the level does not match it just errors out.
This is both for quick detection of badly used level data and for automatic restoring of the pointer from the serializer's working level.
This also removed the temporary workarounds in DAutomap and DLevelScript to restore these pointers when a savegame is loaded.
This was a relatively cheap change but removes a significant batch of references to the global variable, only making the entry points to the ACS interpreter relevant.
UI always runs on the primary level, so this does not need the ability to operate on multiple levels. Additionally, this can later be set to null when running play code so that scope violations result in an abort.
This also changes the action special interface to pass a Level parameter to the separate functions and makes a few other minor adjustments to the polyobject code.
This should later be done for everything else as well, but the map loader should really be free of global dependencies ASAP.
Also replace TThinkerIterator<AActor> with FThinkerIterator globally because this only adds pointless type checks - with all actor subclasses being scripted this class has become redundant.
This entered the code path which warned about ambiguous use of variables in action functions and as a result ran afoul of subsequent error checks.
Since ZScript has no global scope resolution operator, this needs to ignore all non-static class symbols and try to look up any of these as global identifiers.
This caused bad calculations with CMF_OFFSETPITCH. Note that to compensate for the fix, the SphericalCoords function had to have its own inversion of the value removed so that it calculates the same result as before.
Apparently some people have to pass positive numbers in here to get a negative pitch, e.g. 350.0 instead of -10.0...
This prevents clamping of such out-of-range values that would otherwise constitute valid pitches with the wraparound in place.
Using global variables for this is bad, and it didn't even catch all cases. Now a node build is only considered successful if everything is set up successfully.

- It was calling the fallback aiming in the wrong place when it should have been outside the speed check.
- Credit to _mental_ for the base code, but no gotos involved.
There are several places where a temporary change of light mode is needed, all these made this change in the global level struct. Now the change is only local to the active draw info.
If we ever want to refactor the global level data these must not reference the 'level' variable.
The main parts of the map loader cannot use this information, because it can only be created after running the node builder, so it got its own set of index functions instead.
Visual C++ will never statically initialize a class instance where a member field has a default value set, so the DEFINE_ACTION_FUNCTION variants without a direct native call need to be handled differently. The easiest way to do this is to leave out the nullptr default and omit the value in the initializer list. For trailing fields this will always get them nulled.
Also tried to sort them by renderer use but that turned out to be without any performance effect, even though the struct is a bit better aligned now and several bytes shorter.
I have to wonder why it had to use such a complicated implementation that provided no advantages whatsoever.
The new code is just 1/5th of the old one's size and much closer to Hexen's original implementation which also was a simple array but with no means to resize the queue.
This involves passing the level explicitly to many functions. What was done here may seem a bit excessive but at least it covers everything.
Most importantly, the global ActiveThinker pointer has been moved into FLevelLocals and is now getting tracked properly by the level without using dangerous assumptions about how the game organizes its data.
- upload only the dynamic AABB subtree using glBufferSubData
- change internal raytracing stack limit from 16 to 32
- update shadowmap AABB tree after R_SetupFrame for proper frame interpolation
Unlike the other classes, the places where variables from this class were accessed were quite scattered so there isn't much scriptified code. Instead, most of these places are now using the script variable access methods.
This was the last remaining subclass of AActor, meaning that class Actor can now be opened for user-side extensions.
