- displayrandvar
- displayrandvarvar
- checkavailinven
- globalsoundvar
- guniqhudid
- getprojectile
- getthisprojectile
- setthisprojectile

setthisprojectile only affects the specific projectile
- Fixed range property not working on RPG type projectiles
- Upped max sounds to 1500
- Added support for more/less than 4 episodes. The number of episodes is defined by
the last definevolumename instance found upon compilation. Max is 8.

- Added EVENT_NEXTWEAPON, EVENT_PREVIOUSWEAPON, EVENT_SWIMUP and EVENT_SWIMDOWN
- Added multi-purpose event "64" which runs on all sprites in the game, allowing for
manipulation of virtually everything in the game world
- Added user-definable colored fog: simply add lines similar to the following to your duke3d.def:
fogpal <palette number> <red intensity> <green intensity> <blue intensity>
Intensities range from 0-63, and palettes 26, 27, 28 and 29 are pre-defined for you as
white, red, green and blue respectively. Sector visibility controls fog density.
- Added movement_lock[] member to player struct. Functionality will be explained upon request
until the wiki is updated. As can be guessed, this is used to lock player movement.
- Fixed a couple of reload bugs
- Projectile system internally optimized and improved (ripped out remnants of variable based
system as well as modified the system to restore projectile defaults on game restart)
- Added the following primitives:
- movesprite
- checkavailweapon

- soundoncevar
- stopsoundvar
Movesprite, checkavailweapon, updatesectorz and ssp work exactly as their

- Minor fixes to the error handling system -- it is now impossible to redefine internal
pointer gamevars. Some error messages also made more descriptive.
- Fixed handling of bad CON files
- Added "-condebug" command line parameter which prints one line to the init window per line
compiled. This is useful in cases where you've encountered a bug in the CON parser which
throws you into an infinite loop on compile, as you can see where the problem happened.

- CON commands "addlog" and "addlogvar" now print to console and log to eduke32.log
with all of the other log information rather than log.log

an RPG type projectile to directly damage whatever it hits rather than do radius damage.
- By request, changed how Duke moves when submerging into and emerging from underwater sectors
- Various minor code clean-ups and fixes
- Mapster32 changes:
- Added ' 5 2D mode key combination for changing the shade of every parallaxed ceiling
on the map at once
- Added ' 6 2D mode key combination for changing the height of every parallaxed ceiling
on the map at once
- Added ' Z 2D mode key combination for offsetting an entire map on the Z plane. This
is useful for merging sections of maps into other maps.
- Added Left ALT ' 7 2D mode key combination for scaling the entire map (multiply)
- Added Left ALT ' 8 2D mode key combination for scaling the entire map (divide)
- Added ' M key combination for setting .extra member (this is the SW middle tag)
- Help menus re-organized to be more useful
- Added ' P 3D mode key combination to set palette on all sectors selected in 2D mode
- Added ; V 3D mode key combination to set visibility on all sectors selected in 2D mode
- Added support for running without lookup.dat (obviously, this will disable alt pals)

bullet hole was left on a wall.
