  • Appendix: Linedef Special Names

• Added height field for mapthings to match Hexen map format.
• New escape characters for strings added to control color, shadowing, and absolute text centering.

• ExtraData is Free-form
  
  Whitespace and token positioning are totally free-form in ExtraData. In addition, semicolons are discarded as whitespace and can therefore be used to terminate field assignments, lists, etc. as in C or C++. As an example, all of the following are strictly equivalent:

       mapthing { recordnum = 1; }
       
       mapthing
       {
          recordnum = 1;
       }
       
       mapthing
                   {
          recordnum     =
               1     ;;;;;;
                       }

  Obviously, you are encouraged to use a clean and consistent format, even though it is not required.
  
  
• Comments
  
  ExtraData files can use three forms of comments:
  • # Comments
    Like in DeHackEd, this comment type extends to the end of the line.
  • // Comments
    An alternate form of single-line comment, equivalent to #.
  • /* */ Comments
    This type of comment is multiline, and extends from the opening /* to the first */ found. This type of comment CANNOT be nested. Nested multiline comments will cause a syntax error.
  Examples:

       # Single line comment
       
       // Another single line comment
       
       /*
       
          This is a multiline comment
          
       */
       

• Strings
  
  Some fields in ExtraData may take strings. Strings, if they do not contain whitespace or any character that needs to be escaped, may be unquoted. Unquoted strings additionally cannot contain any of the following characters: " ' = { } ( ) + , # / ;
  If any of those characters are found, the unquoted string will be terminated at the last valid character.
  
  Other fields more or less require quoted strings. Quoted strings must start and end with either single or double quotes (the beginning and ending quote types must match, as well). Quoted strings may contain any character except a line break, including those not allowed in unquoted strings. In addition, quoted strings also support the following escape codes for non-typable characters:
  
  
  • \n : Hard line break
  • \t : Tab
  • \b : Backspace
  • \a : Beep (causes a sound when printed to the console)
  • \\ : Literal \ character.
  • \" : Literal ", necessary to use in double-quoted strings only
  • \' : Literal ', necessary to use in single-quoted strings only
  • \0 : Null character
  • \K : Changes text color to "brick" range where supported.
  • \1 : Changes text color to "tan" range where supported.
  • \2 : Changes text color to "gray" range where supported.
  • \3 : Changes text color to "green" range where supported.
  • \4 : Changes text color to "brown" range where supported.
  • \5 : Changes text color to "gold" range where supported.
  • \6 : Changes text color to "red" range where supported.
  • \7 : Changes text color to "blue" range where supported.
  • \8 : Changes text color to "orange" range where supported.
  • \9 : Changes text color to "yellow" range where supported.
  • \N : Changes text color to gamemode "normal" range where supported.
  • \H : Changes text color to gamemode "hilite" range where supported.
  • \E : Changes text color to gamemode "error" range where supported.
  • \S : Toggles text shadowing where supported.
  • \C : Toggles absolute centering of text where supported.
  
  If \ is followed by any other character, the slash is discarded and the next character is treated normally (ie, \d becomes d).
  
  Line Continuation:
  
  Line continuation can be used to split quoted strings across multiple lines. The syntax for doing this is demonstrated in the following example:

          somefield = "This string is split \
                       across two lines"
       

  The "\" character, when followed immediately by a line break, signifies that line continuation should be triggered. Whitespace before the line continuation will be included in the string, but any spaces or tabs at the beginning of the next line will NOT be included (this is the same as line continuation in BEX and EDF files). This allows the following continued parts of the string to be arbitrarily indented for purposes of beautification. A string can be split across any number of lines in this fashion.
  
  
• Numbers
  
  Most non-string fields in ExtraData are numbers, either integer or floating-point. Decimal, octal, and hexadecimal integers will be accepted in all number fields. Octal numbers start with a zero, and hexadecimal numbers start with the sequence 0x -- Examples:

       # this is a normal, decimal number (base 10)
       recordnum = 16
       ...
       # this is an octal number (base 8)
       recordnum = 020
       ...
       # this is a hexadecimal number (base 16)
       recordnum = 0x10

  Floating-point numbers must have a decimal point in them, as in "20.0". Floating-point numbers are always base 10.

An ExtraData script is associated with a map via use of the MapInfo variable extradata. A map can only have one ExtraData script, but it is possible for multiple maps to share the same script.

Example of ExtraData specification via MapInfo:

   [level info]
   extradata = EDLUMP01

Return to Table of Contents

Each field in the mapthing definition, with the exception of the recordnum field, is optional. If a field is not provided, it takes on the default value indicated below the syntax information. Fields may also be provided in any order.

Note that the order of mapthing definitions in ExtraData is not important. The recordnum field serves to identify mapthing records.

Return to Table of Contents

The ExtraData control object has a doomednum of 5004. Each control object specifies its corresponding ExtraData mapthing record number as an integer value in its mapthing options field. If your editor does not allow entering arbitrary values into the options field of mapthings, you will need to use the BOOM command-line editor, CLED. As of the initial writing time of this document, both DETH and Doom Builder support entering arbitrary integer values for the options field. Check your editor's documentation or user interface to verify if it supports this.

The x, y, and angle fields of the ExtraData control object are passed on to the thing which will be spawned at the control point's location, so those fields of the control object should be set normally. The true type and options fields of the thing to be spawned, along with any extended fields, are specified in the ExtraData record which the control thing references.

Any number of ExtraData control objects can reference the same ExtraData record. In the event that a control object references a non-existant ExtraData record, the ExtraData script for a level is missing, or the thing type referenced by an ExtraData record isn't valid, an Unknown thing will be spawned at the control point's location. See the EDF Documentation for information on the required Unknown thingtype definition. Note that you cannot spawn ExtraData control objects using ExtraData. Attempting this will also result in an Unknown thing.

Return to Table of Contents

mapthing
{
   recordnum = <unique number>
   
   # These fields are normal mapthing fields
   type      = <doomednum> OR <EDF thingtype mnemonic>
   options   = <options flag list>
   
   # These fields are ExtraData extensions
   tid       = <number>
   args      = { <special field>, ... }
   height    = <number>
}

• recordnum
  The recordnum serves to identify this record, and is the number which ExtraData control objects must use to associate themselves with a mapthing record. Every ExtraData mapthing record must have a unique record number. If a duplicate record number is detected, the engine will currently exit with an error message. The record number is limited to values between 0 and 65535 inclusive. Some editors may only allow input of numbers up to 32767 in the mapthing options field, or may treat values above 32767 as negative numbers. Beware of this.
  
  
• type
  Default: No meaningful default value, an Unknown thing will be spawned.
  
  This field specifies the type of object to spawn at the location and angle of ExtraData control objects using this record. This field can accept one of two types of values. The first is a normal thingtype doomednum as specified via EDF and used by all editors. For example, the DOOM Imp's doomednum is 3001.
  
  This field can also accept EDF thingtype mnemonics. EDF thingtype mnemonics must be prefixed with thing: -- this allows the parser to know it is dealing with a string instead of a number. EDF thingtypes must have a unique doomednum to be specified in an ExtraData mapthing record. If the specified EDF thingtype doesn't exist or has a doomednum of -1, an Unknown object will be spawned instead.
  
  Example:

      mapthing { type = 3001 }          // This record specifies an Imp via its doomednum
      
      mapthing { type = thing:DoomImp } // This record specifies an Imp by its EDF mnemonic
      

• options
  Default: No flags are set by default.
  
  This field specifies the options (also known as mapthing flags). This field uses the same syntax as BEX/EDF flag strings, but the syntax will be reviewed here for completeness.
  
  A BEX flag list is a string of flag names separated by whitespace, pipe characters, commas, or plus characters. In ExtraData, if a flag list contains whitespace, commas, or plus signs, it must be enclosed in double or single quotations. Flags are combined using bitwise-OR logic, so a flag name can be specified more than once. Specifying a flag name causes that flag to be turned on. The default state of all flags is off.
  
  These are the flag values which are available for this field:

      Flag name   Decimal  Hex     Meaning
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      EASY        1        0x0001  Thing appears in easy difficulties
      NORMAL      2        0x0002  Thing appears in "Hurt Me Plenty"
      HARD        4        0x0004  Thing appears in Ultra-Violence and Nightmare
      AMBUSH      8        0x0008  Thing is "deaf", will not wake up via sound
      NOTSINGLE   16       0x0010  Thing doesn't appear in single-player mode
      NOTDM       32       0x0020  Thing doesn't appear in deathmatch
      NOTCOOP     64       0x0040  Thing doesn't appear in cooperative multiplayer
      FRIEND      128      0x0080  Thing uses MBF friendly logic
      DORMANT     512      0x0200  Thing is dormant at map startup (script feature)
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      

  The mapthing options value 256 (0x0100) is reserved. If this bit is set, all BOOM, MBF, and Eternity extended mapthing bits will be cleared. This is to guard against editors like Hellmaker which set all bits they do not understand, instead of leaving them zero.
  
  Example options fields -- All of these are equivalent:

      # This is the only syntax that does not require quotations.
      
      mapthing { options = EASY|NORMAL|HARD }
      
      # All of these syntaxes must be quoted, because unquoted strings in 
      # ExtraData cannot contain spaces, commas, or plus signs.
      
      mapthing { options = "EASY NORMAL HARD" }
      mapthing { options = "EASY | NORMAL | HARD" }
      mapthing { options = "EASY+NORMAL+HARD" }
      mapthing { options = "EASY + NORMAL + HARD" }
      mapthing { options = "EASY,NORMAL,HARD" }
      mapthing { options = "EASY, NORMAL, HARD" }

• tid
  Default: 0
  
  The TID, or "Thing ID", is a tag for mapthings which is used for identification in Small scripts. TID values must be positive numbers between 1 and 65535. The TID value zero means no TID. Negative TID values are reserved and are used to indicate special things within the engine. TIDs are not required to be unique, and most Small functions that accept TIDs will perform an action on all mapthings which bear the same TID. Things spawned within Small scripts can also be given TIDs.
  
  
• args
  Default: All args values default to zero.
  
  The args field is a list of up to five special values which can have a broad range of meanings. Any values not provided in the args list will default, and if more than five values are provided, only the first five will be used. Currently, all args values are interpreted as integers (a non-number string evaluates to zero). This may change in the future.
  
  Example args list:

      mapthing { args = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 } }
      

• height
  Default: 0
  
  For normal objects, this field indicates a distance above the floor that the thing will spawn at level start. For objects with the SPAWNCEILING flag, this field indicates a distance below the ceiling instead. This field will have no effect on objects which spawn at a randomized height.

Each field in the linedef definition, with the exception of the recordnum field, is optional. If a field is not provided, it takes on the default value indicated below the syntax information. Fields may also be provided in any order.

Note that the order of linedef definitions in ExtraData is not important. The recordnum field serves to identify linedef records.

Return to Table of Contents

Each control linedef specifies its corresponding ExtraData linedef record number as an integer value in its linedef tag field. If your editor does not allow entering arbitrary values up to 32767 into the tag field of linedefs, you will need to use the BOOM command-line editor, CLED. As of the initial writing time of this document, both DETH and Doom Builder support entering arbitrary integer values for the tag field. Check your editor's documentation or user interface to verify if it supports this.

The flags, sidedefs, textures, and location of the ExtraData control linedef are used normally by the line and cannot be altered from within ExtraData. The true special and tag fields of the linedef, along with any extended fields, are specified in the ExtraData record which the control linedef references.

Any number of ExtraData control linedefs can reference the same ExtraData record. In the event that a control linedef references a non-existant ExtraData record or the ExtraData script for a level is missing, the special and tag of the ExtraData control linedef will both be set to zero.

Return to Table of Contents

linedef
{
   recordnum = <unique number>
   
   # These fields are normal mapthing fields
   special   = <number> OR <special name> OR <generalized specifier>
   tag       = <number>
   
   # These fields are ExtraData extensions
   extflags  = <extended line flags list>
   args      = { <special field>, ... }
}

• recordnum
  The recordnum serves to identify this record, and is the number which ExtraData control linedefs must use to associate themselves with a linedef record. Every ExtraData linedef record must have a unique record number. If a duplicate record number is detected, the engine will currently exit with an error message. The record number is limited to values between 0 and 32767 inclusive. Some editors may only allow input of numbers up to 255 in the linedef tag field. Beware of this.
  
  
• special
  Default: 0
  
  The special field determines what type of action may be taken when a line is crossed, used, shot, etc. There are three types of linedef specials in Eternity: normal, generalized, and parameterized. Parameterized specials use the args field documented below to provide complete customization of line actions.
  
  This field can accept numbers for any special type, including generalized and parameterized, but it can also accept special names for all line types. See the appendix Linedef Special Names for a complete list of the names available and an explanation of how to specify generalized specials.
  
  
• tag
  Default: 0
  
  The tag of the linedef, used by DOOM-style line specials and sector effects.
  
  
• extflags
  Default: No flags are set by default.
  
  This field specifies extended linedef flag values which impact the functionality of parameterized linedef specials. This field uses the same syntax as BEX/EDF flag strings, but the syntax will be reviewed here for completeness.
  
  A BEX flag list is a string of flag names separated by whitespace, pipe characters, commas, or plus characters. In ExtraData, if a flag list contains whitespace, commas, or plus signs, it must be enclosed in double or single quotations. Flags are combined using bitwise-OR logic, so a flag name can be specified more than once. Specifying a flag name causes that flag to be turned on. The default state of all flags is off.
  
  These are the flag values which are available for this field:

      Flag name   Decimal  Hex     Meaning
      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      CROSS       1        0x0001  Linedef can be activated by being crossed.
      USE         2        0x0002  Linedef can be activated by being used.
      IMPACT      4        0x0004  Linedef can be activated by being shot.
      PUSH        8        0x0008  Linedef can be activated by being pushed.
      PLAYER      16       0x0010  Linedef can be activated by players.
      MONSTER     32       0x0020  Linedef can be activated by objects with SPACMONSTER flag.
      MISSILE     64       0x0040  Linedef can be activated by objects with SPACMISSILE flag.
      REPEAT      128      0x0080  Linedef action is repeatable.
      1SONLY      256      0x0100  Linedef can only be activated from first side.
      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      

  Notes: IMPACT is currently only implemented for bullet weapons. The ability to use IMPACT with MISSILE will be added in the near future. The PUSH style of activation is not implemented at all yet, so this flag currently does nothing.
  
  Example flags fields -- All of these are equivalent:

      # This is the only syntax that does not require quotations.
      
      linedef { extflags = CROSS|PLAYER|MISSILE|REPEAT }
      
      # All of these syntaxes must be quoted, because unquoted strings in 
      # ExtraData cannot contain spaces, commas, or plus signs.
      
      linedef { extflags = "CROSS PLAYER MISSILE REPEAT" }
      linedef { extflags = "CROSS | PLAYER | MISSILE | REPEAT" }
      linedef { extflags = "CROSS+PLAYER+MISSILE+REPEAT" }
      linedef { extflags = "CROSS + PLAYER + MISSILE + REPEAT" }
      linedef { extflags = "CROSS,PLAYER,MISSILE,REPEAT" }
      linedef { extflags = "CROSS, PLAYER, MISSILE, REPEAT" }

• args
  Default: All args values default to zero.
  
  The args field is a list of up to five special values which can have a broad range of meanings. Any values not provided in the args list will default, and if more than five values are provided, only the first five will be used. Currently, all args values are interpreted as integers (a non-number string evaluates to zero). This may change in the future. The args list is used by parameterized linedef specials.
  
  Example args list:

      linedef { args = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 } }
      

   linedef { special = Door_Raise }

  'Gen'<type>'('<arg>+')'

  where:
  <type> = Floor | Ceiling | Door | LockedDoor | Lift | Stairs | Crusher
  <arg>  = <char>+','

   //                    door       type       speed  monster? delay   
   linedef { special = "GenDoor(OpenWaitClose, turbo, true,    9    )" }

Normal and Extended Line Types
------------------------------

Note that most normal/extended line types have ugly names in order to be fully descriptive.
Use of new parameterized specials is preferred where possible.
