This is needed for implementing reliable serialization of custom translations. As long as they are merely ints they cannot be restored on loading a savegame because the serialization code does not know that these variables are special.
* moved the sprite renaming out of the file system entirely into a caller-provided callback.
* renamed several functions to closer match the terms of a file system.
* moved the VM interface out of the implementation.
These were creating dangerous interdependencies. It is better to do explicit conversions when needed.
As an added plus, this means that zstring.h no longer depends on name.h which was very annoying.
- replace swapvalues with std::swap globally.
- added some additions to utility code from Raze, mainly to reduce file content differences.
- reduced some unused utilities
Unlike the other classes, the places where variables from this class were accessed were quite scattered so there isn't much scriptified code. Instead, most of these places are now using the script variable access methods.
This was the last remaining subclass of AActor, meaning that class Actor can now be opened for user-side extensions.
* it was never saved in savegames, leaving the state of dead bodies undefined
* it shouldn't be subjected to pointer substitution because all it contains is old dead bodies, not live ones.
* Instead of using the red channel it now uses the grayscale value. While slower in a few situations, it is also more precise and makes the feature more useful.
* For paletted textures do not use the index as alpha anymore but the actual grayscaled color. This is again to make the feature more consistent and useful.
* To compensate for the above there is now a list of hashes for known alpha textures in patch format, so that they don't get broken.
* IMGZ is now considered a grayscale format. There's only two known textures that use IMGZ for something else than crosshairs and those are explicitly handled.
* several smaller fixes.
* the actual color conversion functions for paletted output are now consolidated in a small number of inlines so that future changes are easier to do.
Note: This hasn't been tested yet and will need further changes in the hardware rendering code. As it is it is not production-ready.
- a bit of header cleanup.
* moved <zlib.h> and <bzlib.h> from files.h to files_decompress.cpp because they are no longer needed for defining the interface.
* added <functional> to the precompiled header
This addresses the main issue with TObjPtr, namely that using it required pulling in the entire class hierarchy in basic headers like r_defs which polluted nearly every single source file in the project.
