* entering a savegame description did not work anymore
* the length check was too restrictive and always underestimated the available space
* use the console font for entering a savegame description. This has more characters and better contrast for this content.
* the interface to the text enterer used bad measurements.
This was broken by several small unicode-incompatible code fragments.
This commit also removes the input limit for the player name and the savegame description. With multibyte encoding, limiting them to a fixed length did not work right.
Currently these will just overflow the fields if the text becomes too long, this needs some additional work.
currentUILevel is now primaryLevel.
For ZScript, currentVMLevel was added. This is also exported as 'level' and will change as needed.
This also means that no breaking deprecations will be needed in the future, because in order to sandbox a level only 4 variables need to be handled: level, players, playeringame and consoleplayer.
The remaining global variables are not relevant for the level state.
The static 'level' has been mostly removed from the code except some places that still need work.
UI always runs on the primary level, so this does not need the ability to operate on multiple levels. Additionally, this can later be set to null when running play code so that scope violations result in an abort.
This was done because the backdrop as implemented was the only texture in the entire game that had to be deleted and recreated each frame.
However, with Vulkan this would have necessitated quite a bit of synchronization with the render pipeline which wasn't really feasible just for this one single texture.
Now the texture manager can assume that once a texture was created it will be immutable and never has to change.
Like Linux and macOS this will only support borderless fullscreen in the active desktop resolution now, which is what modern systems need.
The list of discrete resolutions has been removed as it makes no sense anymore with a fixed video mode - all the other scaling options remain active, though.
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.
- added a StartSlideshow ACS and ZScript command and extended the functionality to specify the slideshow's name when starting it.
This is for triggering any kind of intermission definition in the middle of a level - keep in mind that this may not be set up to loop!
