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.
* the window class name was still ASCII, thanks to some totally pointless and ultimately dangerous type cast to LPCTSTR which rendered all type checks ineffective.
* use wWinMain instead of WinMain so that a Unicode argv gets created. For whatever reason, the ANSI startup leaves this variable empty.
* added a 'disablecrashlog' CCMD for Windows. It is a lot more useful with a debugger present to get the standard crash notification from the system which allows opening a debugger than the crash log and no option to open a debugger.
This still contained pieces where a multibyte string was passed through SendMessage and WM_SETTEXT. All these have been replaced with SetWindowTextW.
This commit also removes the never used crash log upload code and all associated assets because it is extremely unlikely that such a feature will ever be implemented.
With localization for non-Latin languages on the support list the multibyte API doesn't cut it anymore. It neither can handle system text output outside the local code page nor can an ANSI window receive text input outside its own code page.
Similar problems exist for file names. With the multibyte API it is impossible to handle any file containing characters outside the active local code page.
So as of now, everything that may pass along some Unicode text will use the Unicode API with some text conversion functions. The only places where calls to the multibyte API were left are those where known string literals are passed or where the information is not used for anything but comparing it to other return values from the same API.
- Fix zdoom.rc to show the actual git commit tag and id for the Product Version
- Made zdoom.rc "codepage 1252" compliant as dictated by the #pragma (if this needs changed the pragma should be updated, this was messing up the version strings in the final compile)
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!
The original place in I_CheckNativeMouse is unsafe because that function can get called from the system message queue which can result in a bad global state of the VM for such a call because it can be recursively invoked from code that may temporarily alter some settings.
currentUILevel is now primaryLevel.
For ZScript, currentVMLevel was added. This is also exported as 'level' and will change as needed.
This also means that no breaking deprecations will be needed in the future, because in order to sandbox a level only 4 variables need to be handled: level, players, playeringame and consoleplayer.
The remaining global variables are not relevant for the level state.
The static 'level' has been mostly removed from the code except some places that still need work.
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.
Since the SpawnedThings array is still available when polyobjects are spawned it makes no sense to create an expensive linked list in P_SpawnMapThing.
This can be done far better by scanning through the array again and collect all matching items in a second array.
Previously it tried to copy all patches of composite sub-images directly onto the main image.
This caused massive complications throughout the entire true color texture code and made any attempt of caching the source data for composition next to impossible because the entire composition process operated on the raw data read from the texture and not some cacheable image. While this may cause more pixel data to be processed, this will be easily offset by being able to reuse patches for multiple textures, once a caching system is in place, which even for the IWADs happens quite frequently.
Removing the now unneeded arguments from the implementation also makes things a lot easier to handle.
As a bonus this already fixes several bugs caused by the botched texture scaling implementation the original texture manager came with.
System cursors are currently disabled because they rely on functionality that needs to be moved to different classes.
