---

• Resolve compiler warning about destructor syntax
• Fixed WalkStepTics & RunStepTics in terrain parser
• Interpolate non-Burn screen wipes
• Added LookForEnemiesEx() for returning all enemies in an area. (#2753)
• fix and re-enable non-player sector damage logic from 4.13.0
• Added (SPF_)STRETCHPIXELS.
• Add manual config saving to CVar struct
• allow getting checksum for current map
• FOV scales ortho up to 180 degrees
• do not open resource files from non-open file readers.
• source made FCommandLine::operator[] return a const char * and fixed two places where this triggered a compile error.
• Move no-mipmapping from actor renderflag/particle flag, to a material property in GLDEFS, where it makes more sense. The feature was introduced in the short-lived engine version of 4.13 which was deemed too broken and needed to be replaced with a newer version anyway, so might as well perform an API-breaking change at this point in time. Note that this currently only works for sprites (its primary targeted use case) -
• walls, flats and models can be patched in later.
• fixed UMAPINFO's label field to allow 'clear' as argument.
• time footsteps with duration of movement, not with actor age
• make sure WalkStepTics and RunStepTics read ints, not floats
• Add velocity/distance based footsteps
• add CVar to control footstep volume
• change order for Kex edition wads to appear last since they were most recent
• Clarify default value for useowncolors
• Do a check if a local variable exceeds the available stack space.
• Check array size for overflow.
• cap the size of the string copy calls in LevelStatEntry()
• add set/get plane reflectivity
• Reduce number of multiply ops per frame and increase x-axis clipper range for orthographic projection.
• Allow using `Self` as the class name in the default block to refer to the current class
• Fixed STRETCHPIXELS flag not being exposed.
• Added net id functions for ACS
• Moved Actor TID selector out of header
• fixed the particle replacement code.
• Reworked player loading
• Limiting r_radarclipper effect to Out-of-Bounds viewpoints only. Opens the possibility of leaving it true by default in the future.
• Fixed startpos not saving
• Added OrthographicCamera actor. Arguments are: - 0: Offset. This pushes the camera further away, going behind the camera. Default is 1.0 (converted to negative - the value cannot go lower than that).
• Fixed crash on functions with missing return values
• Fixed CreateCopy being broken on HexenArmor
• add automap default markers for all games (can be overridden)
• added constants for the most recently added level flags
• Add missing CHANF_ constants and fix the styling of the comments for better readability
• don't fudge light position out of the floor for +NOINTERACTION actors
• Allow property-less flagdefs for non-actors
• Compress visualthinker bools into a flags field
• visualthinkers: move crucial functions out of Tick, so that light custom tick overrides can be done without calling super.Tick for non-moving visualthinkers
• serialize animData, update subsector on deserialize
• export UpdateSpriteInfo
• Updated packet handling
• Fixed static error for SendConAck
• Added stubs for NetClose on other platforms
• Port NCMD_EXIT to i_net file
• Removed network message entirely
• Added CRandom functions
• Added RNG snapshotting for predicting
• Reworked FRandom constructors
• Discs no longer blast players with collision disabled
• Allow easier piece weapon replacing
• Fix and restrict level postprocessor instance
• Fixed view for frozen players
• Added WorldHitscanFired and WorldHitscanPreFired (#2432)
• Fixed poison not clearing on revive
• Fixed missing checks in P_TestMobjZ (#2827)
• contain the statnum hack for visual thinkers on the game side.
• removed -hashfiles after finding out it had been broken for an extended time period.
• Improved "respawn where died" functionality (#2831)
• Add new SBARINFO top level "AppendStatusBar", allowing for extra SBARINFO code to be added to custom SBARINFO definitions.
• make if-checks for AppendStatusBar consistent with Zandronum implementation
• Fixed bouncing on 3D floors (#2835)
• Bandaid fix for 3D floor collision detection in traces
• Fixed incorrect autooff behavior on ceiling bounce (#2837)
• Add WorldRailgunPreFired for railgun attacks and Add WorldRailgunFired
• Fixed angleOffsetTargets not being initialized
• Added ripper damage logic to DoMissileDamage
• Various bouncing fixes
• Fixed A_SprayDecal not working on 3D floors
• Fix M_SaveBitmap stream buffer size
• allow forks to set OPTIONALWAD to (null) to disable searching for it.
• remove version check for array type fix, to prevent crashes/etc with bad types
• remove "DECORATE" from error string
• Fix damage being skipped for spectral puffs

Boondorl wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2024 4:36 pm They should. Basically, when given the final assembled weapon instead of checking the exact defined weapon it'll now check if it has a valid replacement. This means if your custom weapon pieces were only there to give it a new replacement class type, they can be removed since the replaces on the weapon class itself will now correctly replace it.

• Innumerable amounts of fixes for bouncing projectiles. Not doing damage when bouncing off tops/bottoms of Actors, incorrectly bouncing off 3D floors, certain flags like THRUGHOST not working, incorrect bouncing behavior on ramps, etc. have all been fixed. These should now act much more like you'd expect them.
• Fixes for hitscans going through certain 3D floors. The infamous ramp in Kinzie's test map now works.
• Random seeds are now networked, removing one of the biggest barriers to creating mods for online play. A new set of functions, the CRandom() functions, have been added to allow for true clientside seeds. No more worrying about identifier clashes between ui and play scope on this front.
• Sector damage for monsters.
• Manual configuration saving so cvars can be updated immediately instead of relying on the application being closed correctly. This makes storing data between sessions much more stable.
• Various improvements to the new terrain footstep behavior.
• self can now be used in place of the class name when defining custom properties in the default block. This makes default properties in mixins possible since they can just use self.property to define things.
• Things can be fetched by network id from ACS. This essentially allows for Actor pointers and they can even be picked out individually from TID iterators.
• A long lost feature, preserving player data regardless of join order when loading a game online, has been fixed. Now players can join in whatever order they'd like and assuming they have the same name, their data will be correctly matched to them (otherwise it's still first come first serve).
• Particle replacing now works correctly. If you know you know.
• Ever have the compiler mysteriously crash when loading your mod? Chances are it's because you forgot a return value. This has finally been fixed and now it'll tell you where the error is instead of peacing out.
• Hitscans now work against SPECTRAL things (whoa, improved Strife support in 2024?).
• WorldHitscanFired/Prefired functions. Bullets are now way easier to intercept allowing for mods that e.g. replace hitscan attacks with projectiles without having to replace everything.

You could just create a function for the WorldThingSpawned event and set e.Thing.bForceSectorDamage=true.
