This solves two problems:
* The linked list is too slow, a map is better. A map cannot be used with statically allocated CVARs because order of initialization is undefined.
* The current CVAR system is an unordered mishmash of static variables and dynamically allocated ones and the means of identification are unsafe. With this everything is allocated on the heap so it can all be handled the same by the cleanup code.
These were creating dangerous interdependencies. It is better to do explicit conversions when needed.
As an added plus, this means that zstring.h no longer depends on name.h which was very annoying.
The counter variable was not only used incorrectly, it was completely redundant.
This still has a byte limit due to how the network code works so for non-Latin languages may result in shorter strings.
This made reviewing the code for accessing the global state hard, because the doomdef.h contains mainly constants, this particular item was the only thing in there that represents actual engine state.
For some files that had the Doom Source license attached but saw heavy external contributions over the years I added a special note to license all original ZDoom code under BSD.
- all 5 settings affected by uiscale have been changed to have the exact same semantics: -1, if supported means special scaling, this is available for HUD and status bar, 0 means to use uiscale, any larger value is a direct scaling factor.
- scaling is cut off when the factor is larger than screenwidth/320 or screenheight/200 because anything larger will definitely not fit.
- a lot of code has been cleaned up and consolidated. Especially the message code had an incredible amount of redundancy.
- all scaling options have been moved into a submenu. This menu is not complete, though - it still requires a special menu widget to convey the intended information without confusing the user.
This allows using the UI scale or its own value, like all other scaling values.
In addition there is a choice between preserving equal pixel size or aspect ratio because the squashed non-corrected versions tend to look odd, but since proper scaling requires ununiform pixel sizes it is an option.
- changed how status bar sizes are being handled.
This has to recalculate all scaling and positioning factors, which can cause problems if the drawer leaves with some temporary values that do not reflect the status bar as a whole.
Changed it so that the status bar stores the base values and restores them after drawing is complete.
This one was particularly nasty because Windows also defines a DWORD, but in Windows it is an unsigned long, not an unsigned int so changing types caused type conflicts and not all could be removed.
Those referring to the Windows type have to be kept, fortunately they are mostly in the Win32 directory, with a handful of exceptions elsewhere.
The idea is, when status bars are moved to ZScript that only this small wrapper class needs to be dealt with and the implementation can be left alone. SBARINFO is far too complex to be scriptified, but having it inherit directly from DBaseStatusBar and access its member variables severely limits the options of dealing with the status bar code. This way, it only accesses some globally visible functions in DBaseStatusBar and no variables.
- renamed the global ST_X and ST_Y variables because it is far too confusing and error-prone to have the same names inside and outside DBaseStatusBar.
