Unlike the other classes, the places where variables from this class were accessed were quite scattered so there isn't much scriptified code. Instead, most of these places are now using the script variable access methods.
This was the last remaining subclass of AActor, meaning that class Actor can now be opened for user-side extensions.
* it was never saved in savegames, leaving the state of dead bodies undefined
* it shouldn't be subjected to pointer substitution because all it contains is old dead bodies, not live ones.
* Instead of using the red channel it now uses the grayscale value. While slower in a few situations, it is also more precise and makes the feature more useful.
* For paletted textures do not use the index as alpha anymore but the actual grayscaled color. This is again to make the feature more consistent and useful.
* To compensate for the above there is now a list of hashes for known alpha textures in patch format, so that they don't get broken.
* IMGZ is now considered a grayscale format. There's only two known textures that use IMGZ for something else than crosshairs and those are explicitly handled.
* several smaller fixes.
* the actual color conversion functions for paletted output are now consolidated in a small number of inlines so that future changes are easier to do.
Note: This hasn't been tested yet and will need further changes in the hardware rendering code. As it is it is not production-ready.
- a bit of header cleanup.
* moved <zlib.h> and <bzlib.h> from files.h to files_decompress.cpp because they are no longer needed for defining the interface.
* added <functional> to the precompiled header
This addresses the main issue with TObjPtr, namely that using it required pulling in the entire class hierarchy in basic headers like r_defs which polluted nearly every single source file in the project.
- Took the opportunity and fixed the logic for the Skull Rod's rain spawner. The old code which was part of the 3D floor submission was unable to work with portals at all. The new approach no longer tries to hide the dead projectile in the ceiling, it leaves it where it is and changes a few flags, so that its z-position can be used as reference to get the actual ceiling. This works for line portals, but for sector portals still requires some changes to sector_t::NextHighestCeilingAt to work, but at least this can be made to work unlike the old code.
- added names for the player-related translations to A_SetTranslation.
- fixed: Failure to resolve a function argument was checked for, too late.
- made the parameter for A_SetTranslation a name instead of a string, because it is more efficient. We do not need full strings here.
These objects are supposed to be bright, but the standard translations for player do not take this into account, creating dark and/or invisible projectiles depending on the color being used.
The new translation uses hue and saturation from the player color, but combines brightness from the original color with the one for the player in an 8:2 ratio, so that no matter for the player color, these always remain bright and visible.
passes doubles to functions anyway.
- Fixed: FRemapTable::AddDesaturation() excluded the final entry from the loop. Also, it was
less forgiving than AddColorRange, in that it did not support ranges in descending order.

The graphics are already mapped through this, so we don't need to do it again when translating.
Moreover, if there was no duplicate of color 0, but there was a different color with a
duplicate, this means we end up drawing players with the duplicated color wherever it should
be color 0. (Standard translations already had this right.)
