Needless to say, this is simply too volatile and would require constant active maintenance, not to mention a huge amount of work up front to get going.
It also hid a nasty problem with the Destroy method. Due to the way the garbage collector works, Destroy cannot be exposed to scripts as-is. It may be called from scripts but it may not be overridden from scripts because the garbage collector can call this function after all data needed for calling a scripted override has already been destroyed because if that data is also being collected there is no guarantee that proper order of destruction is observed. So for now Destroy is just a normal native method to scripted classes
- Polygons will be clipped to bottomclip. If this is zero or below, they
will be clipped to the bottom of the screen instead. This keeps the
polygons from overwriting the status bar border for sofware 2D. The
hardware version ignores it, since it always draws the status bar border
every frame.
This means that the varargs functions themselves are now responsible for parsing them into DrawParms.
This was done because DrawTextV made a blanket assumption that every single vararg has the size of a 32 bit integer and caused crashes when anything else was passed. It also failed to eliminate any tag that is incompatible with text display. These will now abort DrawText and trigger an assert.
In order to avoid passing around tag lists, DrawTextV needs to parse everything itself and then pass a fully initialized structure to DrawTexture. This cannot be done if all variants require a varargs tag list.
Apparently the only reason for the old approach was the 'hw' parameter which was never used.
- The old algorithm is something I threw together that produced decent,
but not spectacular results since it had a tendency to waste space by
forcing everything onto "shelves".
The new packer is the Skyline-MinWaste-WasteMap-BestFirstFit algorithm
described by Jukka Jylanki in his paper *A Thousand Ways to Pack the Bin - A
Practical Approach to Two-Dimensional Rectangle Bin Packing*, which can
currently be read at http://clb.demon.fi/files/RectangleBinPack.pdf
This is minus the optimization to rotate rectangles to make better fits.
- GetSystemMetrics can lie about the window border sizes, so we can't
trust it if the executable is flagged as Vista-targetting
(default behavior for VS2012/2013).
defaults to 200. Setting it to 0 will restore the previous behavior of having no frame rate
limit. Note that vid_maxfps 35 is NOT the same as cl_capfps 1. cl_capfps caps the frame rate
by tying the video update directly to the game timer. With vid_maxfps 35, the video update and
game timer are running on separate timers, and results will not be as good as with cl_capfps 1,
which uses only one timer.

decided there was nothing to draw. In practical terms, this means that if your weapon is
completely invisible, the game would not draw anything outside of the main play area because
the scissor test would be left on for the entire frame and not just the weapon's quad.
Making the call to SetStyle() before the scissor check is enough to fix this.

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.

- allow setting 'Shadow' as default fuzz effect
- changed CVAR conversion that strings 'false' and 'true' get evaluated as integers 0 and 1 respectively so that changing boolean CVARs to int does not destroy their values.

since the screenwipe speedup fixes also mean that this function no longer operates directly
with the front buffer, but rather with a copy that is not letterboxed.

some other application already has it. While technically this is a failure, the device is
still created, so we can continue using it anyway.

swap between them each frame. The one that's not the TempRenderTexture is used
as the FrontCopySurface without the need for a copy operation. This removes the
performance penalty the previous commit introduced for these modes.

properly in letterboxed modes.
- Added another surface to receive a copy of the top back buffer immediately
before it is presented. This effectively produces a copy of the front
buffer without the performance penalty of GetFrontBufferData, so fullscreen
wipe preparation and screenshots are faster now. At lower resolutions,
always copying the backbuffer does incur a slight FPS hit, but it's
practically free at higher resolutions.
