(The Raven license got removed from sc_man after checking that no Raven code is still present here, this file got a nearly complete overhaul over all those years.)
It can now be used from UDMF and ZScript.
To avoid clutter it doesn't allow setting the values individually but requires definition of a data record in TEXTURES.
colorization
{
DesaturationFactor <float>
Invert
AddColor <color>
ModulateColor <color>
BlendColor <color>, <mode> [, <alpha>]
}
Mode for BlendColor can be Alpha (normal translucent blending), as well as 3 special values taken from Build engine games: Screen, Overlay and HardLight.
The default was changed to replace graphics if only known content is affected.
This also required blocking the feature for Hacx, Harmony and Action Doom 2 which have no localization yet and would fall back on Doom's texts if not blocked.
Now a localization mod can disable the graphics patches containing text entirely so that it can properly localize the text based menu variant.
If this flag gets set in MAPINFO, it will override all user settings.
* added a CVAR that sets how localizable graphics need to be dealt with.
* pass the substitution string to OkForLocalization so that proper checks can be performed.
* increased item spacing on Doom's list menus to 18 from 16 pixels, because otherwise the diacritic letters would not fit. 20 would have been more ideal but 18 was the limit without compromising its visual style
* added a second text-only main menu because here the spacing cannot be changed. Doing so would render any single-patch main menu non-functional. So here the rules are that if substitution takes place, it will swap out the entire menu class.
* fixed some issues with the summary screen's "entering" and "finished" graphics.
This is one of those things where the work needed to make it robust stands in no relation to the gain.
This simply isn't worth the hassle of going through the entire code and fixing every single use of the 2D texture drawing functions.
Unfortunately this means that the graphics items for the menu cannot be replaced this way because their size will most likely differ, but considering that the only candidates for this are the contents of Doom's main menu, the episode menu, the skill menu and the single player summary screen, it's simply not worth it.
In all these cases the IWAD contents can just as easily be replaced with text and user mods which want to offer localized menus will have to work within the confines of the system, e.g. making sure that all menu items are designed to have proper size for substitution to work or by requesting text based menus, which will be added as a modding feature later.
