Since this needs to do cursor positioning calculations it's the one spot in the entire engine where UTF-8 would simply be to messy, especially when having to deal with double wide characters.
Many existing letters are redone, and support for the following languages is added:
Doom:
• Italian
• Spanish
Raven:
• Italian
• Portugese
Strife:
• French
• German
• Italian
Credits to Jimmy for some of the lowercase glyphs for Doom.
* re-added screen blends for images from the hardware renderer.
* moved all postprocessing of the image out of the renderers.
* cleaned out a large piece of cruft for handling the palette in the frame buffer class. This was all a remnant of the old paletted backend that no longer exists. Nowadays the screen blend is just a postprocessing effect drawn over the 3D screen, there is no need to maintain any of it as global state anymore.
* since the engine doesn't produce paletted screenshots anymore there is no need to have handling for it in the generation code. This depended on otherwise obsolete information so it got removed along with that information.
Unlike uObjectColor2, this is more global state. uObjectColor2 is part of gradient calculation which may later be offloaded to a secondary buffer which already resulted in only conditionally setting it, resulting in broken special colormap application for the software renderer.
This option value is used for 4 different options, and splitting it up into three will allow for languages based on grammatical gender systems to have different endings. Necessary for e.g. Russian in order to sound correctly.
The corresponding strings are already in the language spreadsheet.
This didn't behave like an assignment operator so it shouldn't be one, especially since the two places where it got called need different functionality.
This time with diacritics and full Strife support.
The inverted exclamation mark (¡) may cause problems in the menu because of its positioning, but I see no place where any exclamation mark is used in GZDoom’s Strife menu.
The recent localization work has made it apparent that on many images the menu was extremely hard to read because its colors often clash with the background.
The choice of a bright overlay color with extremely low opacity is simply not enough to make the menus comfortable to navigate. Chex Quest was particularly bad but the problem existed in many Doom mods as well.
This also changes the CQ dim color to something a bit more green to better fit with the theme.
