This was done to make reviewing easier, again because it is virtually impossible to search for the operators in the code.
Going through this revealed quite a few places where texture animations were on but shouldn't and even more places that did not check PASLVERS, although they were preparing some paletted rendering.
An exception is made for the sprite drawer which needs to call this in the worker thread on some occasions for as-yet unprocessed sectors.
This case may not alter the cache to avoid having to add thread synchronization to it.
The main reason for this change is that pointers to such manipulated sectors can now be considered static in the renderer.
Due to them being short lived local buffers it was not possible to carry them along with the render data for information retrieval.
This is not flexible enough. There was already one place where this was not supposed to go through the render state.
The new interface allows more general use of the contained buffer objects.
Most importantly, the separate command line options for switching on the legacy buffer handling have been removed.
There's really no need for them anymore, because unlike in earlier versions many of the implementation differences no longer exist - with the exception of where the light and vertex buffer contents are generated.
For testing this, -glversion 3 is sufficient.
- move a few variables from SceneDrawer to FRenderViewpoint.
The global r_viewpoint variable is left alone now to always represent the current viewpoint to the play code.
The main reason behind this change is to reduce the amount of global variables being used by the hardware renderer's scene processing code.
This removes 3 uniforms, consisting of 9 floats. Those were merged into other values that never get used at the same time.
It also moves the costly setup of the fixed colormap out of the render state into the 2D processing code.
Since 3D forces use of render buffers now, it is no longer necessary to draw the entire scene with the colormap active, meaning it can be handled more efficiently.
This was all over the place, with half of it using the function and half doing incomplete checks on the underlying variables.
Also did some optimization on the IGNOREHEIGHTSEC flag: Putting it on the destination sector instead of the model sector makes the check even simpler and allows to precalculate the effect of 3D floors on the heightsec, which previously had to be run on every call and made the function too complex for inlining.
