- converted sound and canvas texture serialization.
- refactored file_zip, so that it can be used to load loose zip files and extract their compressed data directly.
- added handling to FSerializer to generate and consume compressed Zip file entries.
If all goes well this will allow saving savegames as Zips when the rework is done, which will make analyzing them a lot easier.
Note that even with this change it is still not possible to unarchive any thinker pointers before the thinker list has been loaded as it would create broken lists.
Note that this required splitting P_SerializeWorld, because sector_t and FSectorPortal contain some actor pointers, for which the same rule applies: Portal linking can only be done after all sectors have been read, meaning it cannot be done along with the rest of the data in these structures.
Obviously such a change breaks savegame compatibility so the min. savegame version had to be increased again.
in a level.
- Fixed: Serialized player data must always be loaded, even if it's simply to
be discarded, so that anything serialized after the players will load from
the correct position in the file when revisiting a hub map.
