Makes `gametic` run behind `ClientTic` by n ticks, and forces player prediction code to run. Only works if you are in a singleplayer session.
This is intended to be useful for mod development, as you can quickly test prediction issues without creating a multiplayer server. It may also come in handy if any improvements are made to the prediction code in the future.
Adds support for client-side Thinkers, Actors, and ACS scripts (ACS uses the existing CLIENTSIDE keyword). These will tick regardless of the network state allowing for localized client handling and are put in their own separate lists so they can't be accidentally accessed by server code. They currently aren't serialized since this would have no meaning for other clients in the game that would get saved. Other logic like the menu, console, HUD, and particles have also been moved to client-side ticking to prevent them from becoming locked up by poor network conditions. Additionally, screenshotting and the automap are now handled immediately instead of having to wait for any game tick to run first, making them free of net lag.
To activate, use `SetParticleType(int type)`. To deactivate, use `DisableParticle()`.
Types are:
- PT_DEFAULT (default value; uses `gl_particles_style`)
- PT_SQUARE
- PT_ROUND
- PT_SMOOTH
While in this mode:
- `Texture` & `Translation` are ignored
- `Scale.X` sets the size
- `SColor` sets the color
Misc changes:
- Removed warning on textureless destruction
Rewrote lobby to unify common and Doom-specific packet structure, allowing for saner handling of in-game joining. Added a new per-client stage system that allows individual clients to be handled at a time when gathering and sharing info. Reworked lobby UI to display user info and added kick/ban functionalities. Bans are only a temporary per-game IP ban (use passwords to keep unwanted users out). Increased max player count to 64 and unified engine constant.
- Exposed the rest of the ceiling member fields and getters.
- Added an IsCrusher() method.
- Added getOldDirection() getter.
- Fixed Door direction enum.
- Forgot to make Plat readonly on previous commit.
Rewrote netcode to be more stable and functional. Packet-server mode has been restrategized and will now be the default netmode when playing with 3+ non-LAN players. TryRunTics has been cleaned up with older tick control behavior removed to account for the rewritten renderer. The main thread is now more consistent when playing online to prevent potential slow downs and lock ups. Load barriers are better accounted for to prevent spikes on level transition. Improvements to chat and lobby systems including a force start game button. Added a suite of new host options such as kicking and controlling who can pause the game. Max players increased from 8 to 16 since the new code can now handle it.
Note: Demo functionality is untested. This will be rewritten at a later time alongside improvements to GZDoom's playback features (e.g. freecam mode).
Use TObjPtr to improve null checking. Add option to clear only specific kinds of Behaviors. Fixed removal checks while ticking. Don't stop at now-null behaviors when iterating.
Imported Behaviors to the engine to allow them to properly clean up their level list. Restrict Behaviors from being new'd in ZScript as they need an owner to function.
Allows for arbitrary behaviors to be attached to Actors in a way that doesn't require the use of Inventory tokens. This list can't be freely modified nor can it have duplicates meaning it has far better deterministic behavior than using Inventory items for this purpose.
