In this menu, all languages supported by GZDoom are selectable with one simple click! Credits to @PROPHESSOR for making it!
(This only edits the English and French languages because they are the only languages currently up to date with GZDoom’s development. A Russian translation will follow suit at a later date.)
For the Doom IWADs the provided font looks almost identical to the characters used on the title patches. So, for any level name that got replaced in some language, it will now check if the retrieved name comes from the default table, and if not, ignore the title patch and print the name with the specified font.
This also required removing the 'en' label from the default table, because with this present, the text would always be picked from 'en' instead of 'default'. Since 'en' and 'default' had the same contents, in any English locale the 'default' table was never hit, so this won't make any difference for the texts being chosen.
Last but not least, wminfo has been made a local variable in G_DoCompleted. There were two places where this was accessed from outside the summary screen or its setup code, and both were incorrect.
What is done:
D1. Controls are separated by existing sections, each section is now a submenu;
D2. The original sections are preserved;
D3. The original controls order is preserved;
D4. "Controls" section is renamed to "Game", because "Controls" submenu of "Customize Controls" would be too confusing;
D5. Map (automap) controls are added as a section, map controls submenu is unchanged;
D6. Missing controls are added to "Other" section;
D7. Sections are given a title following the scheme "Customize <section> Controls", except N4 (see below).
D8. Inside the sections, spaces are added to group the related controls.
Things that I'm not sure about:
N1. "Game" controls section name is too generic - I'll gladly change it to something more suitable;
N2. "Other" controls section name is too generic - I'll gladly change it to something more suitable;
N3. Map controls submenu could use some spacing, and internal title ("Map Controls") is redundant;
N4. "Strife Popup Screens" section name is too long to fit in scheme described in D7, therefore the title is "Strife Popup Screens Controls";
N5. "Game" section could be divided further, but this will break the original menu structure.
Now that GZDoom supports uppercase and lowercase characters in the BIGFONT format, this commit actually adds those characters. It contains full support for both the English and Russian (minus the letter Ё) alphabets for both Doom and Strife. As for the existing punctuation graphic lumps in Strife, all extra space is removed, and the sprite offsets are adjusted instead.
This also adjusts the English language file so that all menu header texts utilize these new characters. As a tiny extra, it also adds the letter Ё to the Strife smallfont.
(Credits to Skulltag for the uppercase B, Amuscaria for the uppercase X and Z, and @jnechaevsky for all Russian characters, taken from Russian Doom!)
With localization for non-Latin languages on the support list the multibyte API doesn't cut it anymore. It neither can handle system text output outside the local code page nor can an ANSI window receive text input outside its own code page.
Similar problems exist for file names. With the multibyte API it is impossible to handle any file containing characters outside the active local code page.
So as of now, everything that may pass along some Unicode text will use the Unicode API with some text conversion functions. The only places where calls to the multibyte API were left are those where known string literals are passed or where the information is not used for anything but comparing it to other return values from the same API.
It now reads everything into a two-dimensional TMap and creates a list of mappings that apply to the current setting.
The constant need for reloading was the main blocker in redesigning how Dehacked strings get inserted. Currently they override everything, but IWAD-based Dehacked text shouldn't block PWAD overrides from PWADs' LANGUAGE lumps and instead be treated as coming from an [en default] block.
This also renames the main block from [enu default] to [en default], because it should be treated as the English default for all English locales and not just make it fall through to the base default as it did before.
Now all this content can be localized. However, since this is actual game content it was placed in a secondary file in zd_extra.pk3, so that it won't affect the GPL-compatible status of the main one.
There were still some leftover definitions from FMod and far too many things were at the top level. Anything non-essential has been moved to the "Advanced Sound Options" submenu and the pointless sound backend switch has been removed entirely.
Added full-panning stereo, improvement of channel management, and many other things.
Also, I have implemented an ability to use custom WOPL (for libADLMIDI) and WOPN (for libOPNMIDI) banks from the same path as "soundfonts", but also, in the same environment, the "fm_banks" folder was added for WOPL/WOPN storing purposes.
To toggle usage of embedded or custom bank, I have added togglable booleans. When bank fails to be loaded, the default embedded bank is getting to be used as fallback.

ADL&OPN Hotfix: re-calculated default banks
The fix on side of measurer of OPL3-BE and OPN2-BE where some instruments getting zero releasing time.
Why? So mods that reveal enemy names don't show internal monster class names.
Tags are based on language.enu lump:
- Tags for Doom/Doom 2 monsters are referring directly to CC_* strings.
- Tags for Heretic monsters are based on obituaries.
- All tags match corresponding obituaries.
Added ability to switch emulator and it's accuracy level ("enabling of 'run at PCM rate' reduces accuracy, and also reduces CPU usage")
Added draft code for future external banks support (WOPL format for ADLMIDI and WOPN format for OPNMIDI)
ADLMIDI 1.3.3 2018-06-19
* Fixed an inability to load another custom bank without of library re-initialization
* Optimizing the MIDI banks management system for MultiBanks (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* Fixed incorrect 4-op counter which is still catch 4-op instruments on 2-op banks
* Fixed an incorrect processing of auto-flags
* Fixed incorrect initial MIDI tempo when MIDI file doesn't includes the tempo event
* Channel and Note Aftertouch features are now supported correctly! Aftertouch is the tremolo / vibrato, NOT A VOLUME!
* Updated DosBox OPL3 emulator up to r4111 of official DosBox trunk (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* The automatical choosing of 4 operator channels count has been improved (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* Added optional HQ resampler for Nuked OPL3 emulators which does usage of Zita-Resampler library (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
ADLMIDI 1.3.2 2018-04-24
* Added ability to disable MUS and XMI converters
* Added ability to disable embedded MIDI sequencer to use library as RealTime synthesizer only or use any custom MIDI sequencer plugins.

* Added support for real-time switching the emulator
* Added support for CC-120 - "All sound off" on the MIDI channel
* Changed logic of CC-74 Brightness to affect sound only between 0 and 64 like real XG synthesizers. Ability to turn on a full-ranged brightness (to use full 0...127 range) is kept.
* Added support for different output sample formats (PCM8, PCM8U, PCM16, PCM16U, PCM32, PCM32U, Float32, and Float64) (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* Reworked MIDI channels management to avoid any memory reallocations while music processing for a hard real time. (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)

- with renderers freely switchable, some shortcuts in the 3D floor code had to be removed, because now the hardware renderer can get FF_THISINSIDE-flagged 3D floors.
- changed handling of attenuated lights in the legacy renderer to be adjusted when being rendered instead of when being spawned. For the software renderer the light needs to retain its original values.
This deals with what seems to be the only hardcoded piece of text in Strife. Also added a translation to the French file and removed a few superfluous line breaks in the English one.
