The base palette can be set via .def files so that the engine has no access to it until the entire game state is set up.
This means that font translations and PNG palette remap tables cannot be built when the owning objects are created.
For PNGs this has the added advantage that they only get done when really required and not unconditionally - most of the time the remap table isn't even needed here.
Thid fixes the slider graphics in the option menus.

- Inline function returns a double, therefore we should use it and not potentially truncate the mantissa.
- Use divisors to get true numbers of some floats (3.333 -> 10/3, etc).
- Remove a few brackets/parentheses where possible from what are already exceedingly bracketed lines.
Since the same word gets used in text messages and local variables in the game code it is easier this way to search for it and facilitate its transition to the translation table management in PaletteContainer.

Normally they change their type when being fully risen - but when attacked before that happens, never reach that code. To keep them functional, the change must be performed before performing the first target check in thinkChase.
This was the main reason for those constant crashes, the game was accessing an invalid sprite, treating its data as valid.
Also added a few checks for valid targets in two places where it still crashed.
These seem to be the only pointer variables that need to be written out to a savegame, but to restore them they need to be turned into indices before saving.
- const-ify most tables in actor.cpp for documentation purposes.
- gVectorData cannot be made const because one single field in there gets modified by code. :?
- save the global data in nnexts.cpp.
For the handful of lookups it got used for the needed data is too large and the lookup not precise enough. ZDoom's BestColor yields better results, does not need any tables and for the small amount of lookups being performed is more than adequate.
This failed to read the demos in the game directory.
For those who find demos annoying there's now a demo_playloop CVAR.
Currently this is only active in Blood because the other games have demos disabled because they are non-functional.

The code needs to be refactored anyway to allow better crosshair control but this also seemed to affect global render state, considering how poorly it was all implemented.
All games combined there's 11(!!!) scene render blocks, not counting the sub-blocks for ROR and mirrors.
Does it surprise anyone that most of these sub-blocks do not feature all engine capabilities?
Not tested and probably still not working correctly, the entire feature was a nearly impenetrable mess of convoluted code. This definitely needs verification with multiple mods using it.

With all the 2D refactorings thhe softsurface won't work anymore.
This also revealed a bug with the fullscreen variable, a few places were still using the old one from the SDL backend.
After merging the CD enabling CVAR they had the same default (off) as Blood which is wrong.
This also addresses other music related issues, like not properly cycling through the RR music.
This needs to be replaced with the game independent ZDoom version and hooked up properly, but it of low priority because it's a multiplayer only feature.
* removed old sound loading code, which was the last bit to use cacheAllocateBlock which is also gone now.
* cleanup of player sound code. All game side tracking of the sound resources has been removed.
does not compile yet.
* reverb/echo is not yet implemented, so there's two stub functions for now.
* RTS needs to be done differently, because the sound engine cannot play raw buffers without any control data.
* removed temporary placeholder content from string init function. All this gets properly read from definition files now.
* preinitialize a few quotes that are used for status display purposes and are needed in all games
* only use the global episode name table in Blood to avoid redundancy
* let SW's swcustom parser write to the global tables instead of local ones.
Sound is only partially functional, video mode completely nonfunctional, but it makes no sense adjusting them to the current backend code when it's due for replacement.
Reverted this to a sane setting, as it was in the original games and in all other games I have ever seen, i.e. there is a global setting to enable mouse view, and a button to manually trigger it. The toggle can be easily handled by flipping the CVAR directly.
The main problem here was that it triggered a few cases for mouse-less gameplay in the default case with a mouse present, because the mouseaim CVAR was no longer what the game expected.
This misguided change seems to have originated in JFDuke but by now had propagated to all the other games as well, the code was in all 4 frontends.
- hooked up all front ends with a generic message printing function so that common code can access the native message displays. This is needed for consolidation of some input actions which are mostly identical but print messages.
- preparations for a generic message system.
This was consolidated for both EDuke and RedNukem frontends, put into a class with strict access control and the length limit was lifted.
The new class will eventually allow better localization control.
Now this was magnitudes easier than the EDuke menu - NBlood's menu is actually clean and usable code but still nothing compared to a unified menu system.
This was only a crutch to let the input interface work with the original menus.
Now that the one in Blood is gone, all the conditions are no longer relevant. (Shadow Warrior never got far enough to implement this)
This was some meticulously preserved relic of bad old DOS times used to block OS facilities to close an app.
Since this has been worked around at a lower level already the variable was essentially without function but some quite bad code depended on it.
* removed some redundant functionality (e.g. Shift-F5 to change - use the console for that!)
* removed a few more leftover parts of the old music system
* savegames should not do more than resuming the music at the point of saving. (DN3D and RR only so far. Blood to be done.)
* handle music enabling/disabling in the backend, which simply knows better what to do. This was only working in the menu, so changing the CVAR had no effect.
Not tested yet!
* Added a JSON-based header to the savegames so that the unified menu can read from a common data source.
* moved loading and saving of frontend independent data to the wrapper so that support is automatic.
- Player Control updates
- Minor modern types updates
- There was removed GDX prefix for all modern stuff

Since the code is extremely volatile I changed the setup so that the save is a zip file with the regular snapshot plus all added data as separate entries.
This allows compressing everything properly without savegame breaking interference.
Blood does not yet load its savegames, need to check.
Conmsidering how hard it is in Duke Nukem based games to modify the level music, there is now a setting for this in mussetting.txt to make the job easier and even allow setting level music in Redneck Rampage without replacing game data.

- draw fullscreen blends below the console.
- moved all mouse event processing out of the SDL backend to D_PostEvent.
- removed all remaining code for dealing with mouse buttons directly.
Unfortunately this means that the keybinding menus in all games except Blood are shot to shit right now because of how they passed the data on to its destination.
These menus are not fixable, this will have to wait until the replacement is up.
* moved the binding commands to osd.cpp. They were in the global namespace already and this way everything to be tossed out is in the same place when the time comes.
* removed support for the OSDs native CVARs. The only ones left were some internal ones I won't need until this code can be replaced.
* same for the custpmization code the games added. Duke Nukem was the only one anyway to have a decent font for it.
It's still not active but now should produce correct results when working inside the file system.
What it is missing is a file scanner that picks the data it needs to process.
- disabled the user maps menu because it is hopelessly dependent on functionality that cannot be fixed. Better wait until the menu refactor to do it right - it'd be a waste of time fixing the current menus.
* saving of demos and savegames no longer mindlessly writes to the mod directory. All such access is now being rerouted through the special paths interface so that the game data can reside in write protected locations.
* refactored all occurences of klistpath except fnlist_getnames.
* do not allow CON scripts to write to arbitrary files. This is a massive exploit and can be used to cause real damage if someone knows how to play this thing - it's far easier than people may think! It will now write any such data to a special section in the main config which is safe and cannot be manipulated to write to random locations on the hard drive.
- consolidated the 3 identical S_OpenAudio implementations. The replacement code is disabled for the time being because it needs a rewrite. The replacement logic is uses is a bit too volatile.
- removed the old GRP scan code.
* reroute several error conditions to I_Error.
* removed some soon-to-be obsolete GRP loading code.
* explicitly trigger the SetDefaults script events which depended on side effects from the config implementation.
* removed the nonsensical file system switch. All this does is create instabilities because it is non-obvious from where data is loaded. If a resource is mounted, it should be checked for content no matter what. While this may affect the stray weird mod out there it is a necessity if we want to allow transparent project repackaging.
When doing this during startup it can be done by regular cleanup measures.
This also moves two larger chunks of networking code out of game.cpp.
Nevertheless, the fact that enet is a very dirty library which directly depends on Windows types is a big problem because it bleeds Windows definitions everywhere thanks to poor abstraction in all relevant layers.
The idea here is to completely merge the resource management into the file system so that Blood's DICTNODE is merely an alias to the internal FResourceLump.
A two-tiered resource system is not something I consider worthwile, it made sense to get around Builds crappy cache but in the long term this is not a good solution for a multi-game port to have a resource management system in the backend and another one put over it in the front end, both with their own caching logic that might interfere with each other. Better merge it into one that can handle everything.
The Steam/GOG path getters were taken out of the frontends.
This also switches the Windows directory reader touse the wide string version to get Unicode file names.
Some paths were added to the config file instead of hard coding them.
Some part are not done yet, and the file system data is currently ignored - there's no way to properly set this up with the file system code Build came with.
This removes all unused parts of the implementation and moves the rest to the InputState class for easier replacement later. All MACT is doing now here is to call the UpdateStatus function, the internal workings are no longer relevant.
- write the console log to the folder returned by M_GetDocumentsPath and not to the root game directory.
- removed G_ExtPreInit because it has become redundant. The search path setup will have to be redone anyway.
- Added QAV scene player (playing user animation instead of weapon)
- Added trigger event intiator for sprites (WIP and experimental)
# Conflicts:

Also removed the entire cruft related to this - the pointless offsetting value and the precalculation of the timer value (as if we could not afford a single division for something that WAITS!
Unfortunately this required removal of the menu option for the time being.
Blood was fine, albeit with an inverted scale, but the EDuke implementation was something very special - and not in a good way, using 4 CVARs to store the scaling state instead of one.
This is a lot of changes in a lot of code because nothing here was abstracted into the sound system. :(
Hopefully most of the affected code here can be tossed out soon, it's not pretty.
This is going to be a lot of work consolidating the 3 frontends' settings but a necessary evil for eventually getting Shadow Warrior to work as it is quite lacking here.

Sorry, but having a globally writable pointer to every texture is just insane and makes any functional management impossible.
This is merely a preparation for adding a real texture manager. That cannot be done if any code can write over the data at will. For that, it now has to make the texture writable first or create a writable empty texture.
These will have to do some texture management bookkeeping so directly changing the values is problematic.
This required changing the parameter interface in polymost.cpp because a few places hacked around with the global state to pass parameters to subfunctions.
The only difference was that bloodhack came from NBlood and playing_blood was added for unhandled differences between the backends of EDuke32 and NBlood.
- Added names for system RX/TX channels
- Detect if map requires new features to work properly via special TX and command
- Effect Gen update

Renamed all elements still referring to zdoom.
removed the frontend specific resource data.
fixed startup dialog to accept ANSI date despite building as Unicode. This needed a bit of hackery because the macros in windowsx.h are not character set sensitive.
The EDuke32 and RedNukem frontends are working, Blood isn't yet.
Notes:
many of the CMake variables and its output still refer to zdoom. Before changing that I wanted to make sure to be able to commit something that works.
support code for Windows XP has been entirely removed. On Windows this will only target Vista and up.
the crc32.h header had to be renamed to deconflict from zlib.
several Windows API calls were changed to call the A-versions directly. Weirdly enough there were places that defined their parameters as T types but in a non-working way.
removed some remaining editor files and support for the native software rendering only Windows backend.
in a few simple cases, replaced 'char' with 'uint8_t'. The code as-is depends on chars being unsigned which is non-portable. This needs to be carefully reviewed.
