    • Ported DOOM, Heretic, Blasphemer, and Harmony stock scripts to use Lua
    • Script debugging capabilities are included (https://github.com/slembcke/debugger.lua)
    • COAL, for the time being, will still be instantiated if a PWAD or external pack contains a COALHUDS file
  • Added support for MPEG video playback

        • MUTE is currently the only special and will suppress audio for the movie
      • SCALING = <AUTO/NONE/ZOOM/STRETCH>
        • AUTO: The default option; will fit the movie to the display as much as possible while keeping aspect ratio in mind
        • NONE: Will not adjust the dimensions of the movie at all, even if this causes portions of it to be unviewable
        • ZOOM: Will scale the movie's height to match the height of the display; sides of the movie may be clipped
        • STRETCH: Will match the movie's dimensions to the display without preserving aspect ratio

      • Movies will always play before any defined TITLE_GRAPHIC entry in the same definition
    • DDFLEVL: PRE.MOVIE=<movie definition> and POST.MOVIE=<movie definition> commands added

    • skip_intros CVAR added to disable movies that play as part of a title sequence if desired
      • Default is 0 (off)

    • New sector-based trigger conditions (alternative to using radii)
