The sound system may play sounds on them after their deletion - this resulted in undefined behavior. To ensure properly defined behavior the sprite needs to be retained at least as long as the sound controller may still need it - which cannot be reliably determined so it has to be kept around forever. This would be easier if the sound controller code had proper start and stop events instead of inferring what to do from secondary information.
Fixes#288.
There is a typo in the CON files that assigns EVENT_AIMUP and EVENT_AIMDOWN the same number. The source did not replicate this which caused several events to call the wrong handler.
Fixes#252
* Blood had this right. It makes sense that the horizon be based around as it's easier to work with.
* Removed all associated game math to deduct default horizon of 100 when doing weapon zvel etc, meaning actual horizon can just be used.
* Re-did return to center function to work on the already converted pitch. Return speed should be 1:1 with previous code.
They created different code depending on the passed index, this was changed to always emit the optional parameter, even when not needed, so that the interpreter does not need to second-guess.
The remaining excpetions are the "give" CCMD and any level change action.
Unfortunately the implementation of most cheats is not multiplayer safe so right now it'd only be useful for demo recording (assuming that worked to begin with... ;))
* On the fence about this. Lower makes the game harder, and higher could mean the difference between life and death. I do think that if we're showing amounts in the magazine, full ammo should constitute a full magazine. I think the max of 200 is an oversight from the original devs as all other games have proper defaults that reflect the magazine or cylinder capacity.
Currently the bit fields are still separate and they have to be merged, but for now the added memory does not matter.
Having this structure in the common parts will allow work on consolidating the input code, though.
The checks for game pause were totally inconsistent, so now there is a utility function that tells whether the game is supposed to run or not.
pause can also take 3 values now - 0 for no pause, 1 for pause from opening the menu or console or 2 for hitting the pause button.
