[fixed] Tome of Power effects remain when level completed

[wildweasel]

I'm working on a weapon mod for Heretic, and one of the things I've done is replace the Tome of Power with an instant-use version. Using this code:

Code: Select all

ACTOR QuadDamage : PowerupGiver 86
{
   +INVENTORY.ALWAYSPICKUP
   +INVENTORY.AUTOACTIVATE
   +COUNTITEM
   scale 0.8
   Inventory.MaxAmount 0
   Inventory.PickupSound "items/quaddamage"
   Inventory.PickupMessage "quad damage!"
   powerup.color "44 55 aa" 25
   powerup.duration 2100 
   powerup.type "WeaponLevel2"
   states
   {
   Spawn:
      PQUA ABCDEFGH 3 BRIGHT
      Loop
   }   
}

I pick up the QuadDamage powerup and exit the level. When I enter the next level, the screen is not dimmed anymore, and there is no powerup timer - however, shooting whatever weapon I had out would fire the Tomed version instead of the normal version. That is, until I change weapons or do something that makes me switch weapons (i.e. pick up a new weapon or run out of ammo).

I propose a solution: if the current weapon is flagged as POWERED_UP, force the player to switch to its SisterWeapon upon changing levels and remove the powerup from their inventory.

Could I at least have some word on what's happening with this bug? It kinda destroys the balance in a few Heretic maps.

Known bug. Tainted Decorum also suffers from this.

Fixed - also in ZDoom.
