Turns out that the name doesn't accurately describe what it does.
It is correct for images that come with their own palette or are true color.
But for images using the game palette it doesn't use the red channel to determine translucency but the palette index! Ugh...
This means it cannot be done with a simple operation in the shader because it won't get a proper source image. The only solution is to create a separate texture.
- remove thing color from lighting calculations.
- implement alpha textures and inverse sprites for infrared as texture modes. This still requires some handling for the alpha texture mode for non-shader rendering because there is no way in the fixed pipeline to do it. The inverted texture effect can be done with a texture combiner.
- fixed: ThingColor for sprites was set in the wrong place. It must be in the Process function, not in the lighting calculation.
- added functions for isolated calculation of sprites' dynlight color.
also decided to compile some other shaders slightly differently, too.)
- Fixed: The InGameColormap had been designed without taking alpha into consideration.
As the least likely parameter to be used, desaturation has been moved into a constant
register to make room for the alpha parameter to live in the vertex's color value.

Mobility Radeon 9000 (on a PCI card, no less!), I have decided to give the
PS14 support some loving: D3D windowed gamma now works on these cards using
a texture lookup for the gamma table. Sadly, this halves my framerate, so
setting gamma to 1 will skip the gamma correction, as it was before, for
full speed. (On my 8800 GT, the gamma correction was free.)

completely ignore them, either).
- Separated light level fixing out of player_t's fixedcolormap parameter.
Using a fixed light level (e.g. PowerTorch) will no longer wipe out
colored lighting.
- Moved the blending rectangle drawing into a separate discrete stage, since
doing it while copying the 3D view window to the display now blends
underneath the weapon instead of on top of it.
- Consolidated the special colormaps into a single 2D table.
- Tweaked the special colormaps slightly to make the true color results more
closely match the paletted approximations.
- fb_d3d9_shaders.h was getting unwieldy, so I moved the shaders out of the
executable and into zdoom.pk3. Shaders are still precompiled so I don't need
to pull in a dependancy on D3DX.
- Added a few more shaders to accomodate drawing weapons with all the in-game
lighting models. These are accessed with the new DrawTexture tags
DTA_SpecialColormap and DTA_ColormapStyle.
- Player weapon sprites are now drawn using Direct3D and receive all the
benefits thereof.
