Having everything lumped together made this a maintenance hassle because it affected how the level has to be stored.
This hasn't been tested yet, so it may not work as intended!
I think these were the last two still missing it, all remaining uses of the global level variable are in code that doesn't get run through a level tick and are supposed to access the primary level.
There is one exception in ACS for a net arbitrator check.
Aside from this the bot_observer CVAR was also removed. This was never implemented properly and could stomp upon custom player settings.
The playsim really has no idea what the renderer is supposed to do here and the current system has some serious issues that eventually need addressing. So it is better to just set a flag that an actor needs to have its view interpolation reset if being used as a camera and let the render code deal with it.
This will keep the playsim clean of future changes to this feature.
This was always used with 'consoleplayer' which really is the only thing making sense here. But this is a part of the global state which should be avoided in play code.
In particular, this makes no real sense in case of secondary maps where it should always return false.
- moved parts of the render setup out of the separate render functions.
Things like particle and polyobject linking were duplicated several times for rendering different things in different renderers.
These things only need to be set up once before the renderer is started so it makes a lot more sense to consolidate them into one place outside the actual rendering code.
NOFRICTION disables all friction effects on the thing it's set on
(including the speed cap from water/crouching), and NOFRICTIONBOUNCE
disables the "bounce off walls on an icy floor" effect on the thing
it's set on.
- disallow bool as a return value for direct native calls because it only sets the lowest 8 bits of the return register.
- changed return type for several functions from bool to int where the return type was the only thing blocking use as direct native call.
Otherwise this may contain residual data from the last call.
One can only hope that this doesn't cause other side effects - this entire code is one horrendous mess of bad ideas.
This setup has been a constant source of problems so now I reviewed all uses of FName to make sure that everything that needs to be initialized is done manually.
This also merges the player_t constructor into the class definition as default values.
