Achieved by adding a new element property called CarriesTypeIn, whose bits signal to save loading code which properties of particles of the element class in question carry element IDs. The bits in this property are numbered the same way as sim.FIELD_* constants for consistency. One would signal from Lua that a custom element carries element IDs in its tmp like this:
elem.property(id, "CarriesTypeIn", 2 ^ sim.FIELD_TMP)
"Carrying an element ID in a property" is to be interpreted as follows: the property is treated as a combination of a PMAPBITS-bit (so, currently 9-bit) unsigned integer lower part holding an element ID and a 32-PMAPBITS-bit (so, currently 23-bit) signed integer upper part holding whatever makes sense for the element. CONV, for example, uses this signed integer in its ctype as the extra "v" parameter for particle creation.
The rest will will in a commit soon that adds the Create event and some other stuff
Lua events will come after that
PLSM default temp lowered to MAX_TEMP
Also add some new FILT modes, and make FILT modes affect BIZR and
BRAY colour in the same way as they affect photon colour. Photons
passing next to DTEC will set the colour of all FILT in a straight
line starting from any FILT adjacent to the DTEC (a bit like an
ARAY beam), and the exact colour of the photon will be used for
FILT interactions instead of the colour based on temperature.
FILT tmp=4: red shift, tmp=5: blue shift. Size of shift determined
by FILT temperature. tmp=6: FILT has no effect on photon colour
(possible before by using invalid tmp modes, but here's a supported
method of doing it. Invalid tmp modes should be automatically replaced
in existing saves).
Also, FILT mode is now described in the HUD.
