What changed in EDuke32, build by build

The code was using the Polymer-cached version of the sector cstat to determine the translucency of its diffuse material, meaning it would never get it right on the first try; that's what you get for having completely different variables named 's' and 'sec'.

We normally enable backface culling always, but turn it off for two-sided sprites; we need to make sure it's re-enabled after that as sector masks are drawn after.

Some of the ROR code was operating under the assumption that drawasks always correspond to one call of polymer_displarooms(), but that's not necessarily the case; external view draws all sectors from the top polymer_drawrooms(), which was causing crashes. Just ignore the sector mask queues in external view mode, we already don't draw masked walls.

Check all the bunch siblings if we get a floor/ceiling hit and walk them if their own planes hit.

When walking the sectors in displayrooms, detect floor/sector masks to place them in a mask queue. The queues are allocated on the heap, but a stack pointer is maintained by the displayrooms to allow it to play nice with mirror recursion. Right now the masks are drawn after all of drawmasks is finished; that means you can see sprites and wall masks through sector masks, but not the opposite. There is a slight attempt at blending far to near, but nothing too conclusive yet; that means that in some cases some sector masks won't be visible through other sector masks, but it should work for trivial cases. The next step would be to copy all the drawmasks logic into Polymer and have it (attempt to) properly interleave sector masks where they belong in the blending order.

Previously they would get counted both as 1-way walls for immediate drawing and as mask walls for delayed drawing.

Doesn't actually matter that much.

- fix an earlier 'oops': make highpals load correctly again - maphack lights shouldn't be double-loaded now - slight tweak to the loading screen fadein/out timing - two bound checks - make some variables static in engine.c

which switches have been hidden in the original and user maps. One is to make it face a wall, and another is to 'embed' it in e.g. the floor, like the monitor with the burning fuse in E4L1. Both kinds show up when the switches are rendered as models, revealing the secrets that the mapper sought to hide. My proposal, implemented in this commit, is to apply a heuristic for such switches at premap and make them invisible (set cstat bit 32768). The conditions are re-checked during the game in case there is a switch coming out of the floor, for example. A new spriteext bit is used for this feature.

The two bugs are: - RPG projectiles don't pass through water - can't emerge from slime in bobsp2 * Coalesce Polymer lights that are at the same position for FIRE-like sprites so that only one light is actually generated. This is good for usermaps that have multi-sprite fires, like bobsp2 again.

This fixes a ridiculous interaction problem between non-black fog and additive lighting passes. Plagman is stupid.

* fix 'squishing' when taking off shrunk (the reason was TROR game code using updatesectorz) and a potential sector[-1] access

by using setspritez() instead of setsprite() for the sectnum updating. * Change 'yax-nextwall(0/1)' to 'upwall/downwall' in the corruption checker, makes it much nicer to read.

* make Ctrl-Alt-A (formerly 'toggle inner gray walls') now remove all gray walls entirely in 2d mode * make r_usenewaspect enabled by default

* fix breaking out of 'switch' blocks and compilation of the 'default' case * Have a way of assigning 'special function' menu [' F] entries to script states. Writing a string literal after the state name will register the state under that name. Menu names are limited to 24 characters and it's possible to have up to 16 of them. * new branching command 'ifinteractive', true if a state runs from the menu mentioned above. * new command: getnumberfromuser <<retvar>> "query_string" <maxnum> <flags> See 'state collect_teleporting_sectors' in a.m32 for a combined usage of the new functionality.

* helper feature: when shade preview is enabled, the ceilings and floors of highlighted sectors are shown in pal 6. This makes it possible to highlight the TROR-joining candidate sectors in 3D mode using e.g. 'sethighlightsector searchsector 1' while aiming at the respective ceilings and floors, and get visual feedback. * when failing TROR-joining early ('no consistent joining combinations found'), print to the console why it failed. * more Makefile.deps updating
