- Effectively similar to Actors, but without the excess.
- Can be created with either the `level` function or the static `Spawn` function in ZSprite.
- STAT_SPRITE belongs to ZSprites only; ZSprites cannot be moved out of, nor can anything else be moved in to, this statnum.
Misc:
- Fixed (Sprite)Offset taking roll into account.

The Eternity-based definitions are currently disabled due to unclear semantics and overall unsatisfying design. They can be re-enabled once their precise working has been established.
New properties were added to replace them with something that will be clearly specified and is fully ortohonal i.e. they will allow to align an upper tier skew with the floor as well and a lower tier's skew with a ceiling.
* make all legacy light modes except 'Doom' MAPINFO only. A CVAR still exists for testing but its value won't be saved to the config.
* user can only select between "performance', 'software' and 'vanilla'. 'performance' is the old 'Doom' mode which is still needed to speed things up on low end hardware.
* MAPINFO can not enforce any of the two software light modes, as low end users require the option to change this to the 'performance' setting. Selecting one will always revert to the user's light mode selection.
This also adds the `r_actorspriteshadowalpha` and `r_actorspriteshadowfadeheight`
cvars for greater control (only effective in hardware renderers).
These are set to 0.5 and 0 by default, which means this fading behavior
is disabled by default.
When enabled, this has two benefits:
- It becomes easier for the player to judge an entity's height since
the shadow opacity now gives this information.
- Entities that are far high above the ground no longer cast a shadow,
which looked strange.
- Made the 2 TArrays into a class called DActorModelData.
- Removed the skinindex and now just uses one index
- Replaced a bunch of nullptr for modelDef checking with NAME_None
- Added some garbage cleanup to A_ChangeModel itself, as well as removing memory of modelData that is no longer needed
- Attempted serialize code, putting up for review
-Added A_ChangeModelDef
A_ChangeModel(modeldef, modelpath, model, modelindex, skinpath, skin, skinid, flags)
This can change the modeldef, model and skins of an actor.
Currently, modelindex and skinindex accept indices from 0-15.
An actor MUST have a modeldef in order to use this function, either defined from modeldef, or given one through the modeldef parameter. You can pass "" to use the same modeldef. Likewise, passing "" for model or skin will just revert to the default model.
Available flags:
CMDL_WEAPONTOPLAYER - If used on a weapon, this instead change's the model on the player instead.
One issue I am aware of right now is that clearing a model by "" sort of works but is buggy. For now you can just manually set the model back using the names explicitly. However, I am stumped and I think getting more eyes on it would help.
* consolidated the getter functions on the game data side
* better handling of per-sprite lighting with fog
* allow negative values for additive per-sprite lighting.
* also fixed return type of UpdateWaterDepth.
