This is by no means perfect and looks different than what was originally intended, but at least this doesn't totally fail to render properly with the OpenGL renderer.
Added full-panning stereo, improvement of channel management, and many other things.
Also, I have implemented an ability to use custom WOPL (for libADLMIDI) and WOPN (for libOPNMIDI) banks from the same path as "soundfonts", but also, in the same environment, the "fm_banks" folder was added for WOPL/WOPN storing purposes.
To toggle usage of embedded or custom bank, I have added togglable booleans. When bank fails to be loaded, the default embedded bank is getting to be used as fallback.

ADL&OPN Hotfix: re-calculated default banks
The fix on side of measurer of OPL3-BE and OPN2-BE where some instruments getting zero releasing time.
Although this doesn't look as good as the PCF version it is a lot less calculation intensive and therefore more suitable for weaker hardware.
It also tends to bleed through walls a lot less.
These were caused by some bogus comment in the original compatibility.txt which erroneously added a "SPAC_PCross" remark to a line which actually set "SPAC_Cross".
RIndexOf returns the index where the substring starts, instead of the index where the substring ends - 1.
Deprecate the LastIndexOf method of StringStruct
These methods do not examine or change playsim state. They only perform math or look at class metadata.
Methods changed are:
• deltaangle
• absangle
• AngleToVector
• RotateVector
• Normalize180
• BobSin
• GetDefaultSpeed
• FindState
• GetDropItems (which changes the scope of the returned struct, but the returned struct is all-readonly anyway)
This reverts commit 8c7d3b6ab8.
With DTA_LegacyRenderStyle being added there is no pressing need for this. Aside from that there's an utterly unhealthy amount of information duplication here and it is missing some more recent additions.
The problem here is that this affects the public scripting interface so it cannot be committed to master without further adjustments.
# Conflicts:
# src/p_interaction.cpp
- new ccmd: vid_setscale <x> <y> [linear] [fake-mcga-4:3] - sets vid_scalemode to 5 with the absolute scaling parameters. example: vid_scalemode 800 600 allows you to see the screen (stretched) as if it were 800x600. Linear specifies whether to force the scaling to be linear in this mode, and "fake-mcga-4:3" is meant for 320x200-like modes that mimic mode13h scaling.
This was done because the backdrop as implemented was the only texture in the entire game that had to be deleted and recreated each frame.
However, with Vulkan this would have necessitated quite a bit of synchronization with the render pipeline which wasn't really feasible just for this one single texture.
Now the texture manager can assume that once a texture was created it will be immutable and never has to change.
MAP07 - Dropping onto the outdoor lava will now raise triangle sectors.
Should be impossible to get stuck in them now.
MAP08 - Fix (what I presume to be an unintentional) missing texture.
With this, one can use its self-replacement code (which copies a bunch of its state into the replacement actor, and monitors for boss death if appropriate), but select the replacement class based on some other criteria (map number, the player's RPG stats, the player's class, etc).
Previously, a RandomSpawner with infinite recursion would hang the game, because the recursion check was happening before the recursion counter (bouncecount) was set.
Why? So mods that reveal enemy names don't show internal monster class names.

- All tags match corresponding obituaries.
Added ability to switch emulator and it's accuracy level ("enabling of 'run at PCM rate' reduces accuracy, and also reduces CPU usage")
Added draft code for future external banks support (WOPL format for ADLMIDI and WOPN format for OPNMIDI)
ADLMIDI 1.3.3 2018-06-19

* Fixed an incorrect processing of auto-flags
* Fixed incorrect initial MIDI tempo when MIDI file doesn't includes the tempo event
* Channel and Note Aftertouch features are now supported correctly! Aftertouch is the tremolo / vibrato, NOT A VOLUME!
* Updated DosBox OPL3 emulator up to r4111 of official DosBox trunk (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)

* Added ability to disable MUS and XMI converters
* Added ability to disable embedded MIDI sequencer to use library as RealTime synthesizer only or use any custom MIDI sequencer plugins.

* Added support for real-time switching the emulator
* Added support for CC-120 - "All sound off" on the MIDI channel
* Changed logic of CC-74 Brightness to affect sound only between 0 and 64 like real XG synthesizers. Ability to turn on a full-ranged brightness (to use full 0...127 range) is kept.

Like Linux and macOS this will only support borderless fullscreen in the active desktop resolution now, which is what modern systems need.
The list of discrete resolutions has been removed as it makes no sense anymore with a fixed video mode - all the other scaling options remain active, though.
This removes 3 uniforms, consisting of 9 floats. Those were merged into other values that never get used at the same time.
It also moves the costly setup of the fixed colormap out of the render state into the 2D processing code.
Since 3D forces use of render buffers now, it is no longer necessary to draw the entire scene with the colormap active, meaning it can be handled more efficiently.
The fixed colormap is a per-scene global setting that normally does not need to change ever during rendering of a scene so it's easily shoved aside into a static uniform buffer.
Having to change this buffer for inconsequential stuff should be avoided, especially when there's other uniforms that are just as good to hold these values.
Apparently the shader math is not precise enough to ensure that two supposedly orthogonal vectors are truly orthogonal, resulting in a non-zero dot product
It was impossible to complete Sin City 2 The Satan Complex without cheating since ZDoom 2.6.0
Change in applying of DeHackEd patches from 77a4b9a29b broke triggering of important linedef that pushes friendly marine to exit switch

Actors get initialized from their defaults so anything done in the constructor or some explicit member initialization will be overwritten.
They must use their properties for setting up configurable fields and do the rest in BeginPlay.
This data is game critical and may only be altered by code that knows what is allowed and what not. It must never be altered by any user code ever.
However, since the SkyViewpoint actors need to set up some relations between themselves and the default sky portals the previously purely internal 'internal' flag has been exported as a new keyword.
* use names, not strings, to allow use of switch/case.
* avoid creating the checksum a second time per level.
* do an early-out check for maps that do not have scripted compatibility.
This removes the entire palette switch and all the special checks to ensure that no menu can be drawn over this image.
Instead it gives this texture its special palette in the texture manager so that the proper image is created right away.
I decided against exposing this as an editing feature because it is far too specific to this particular image and the raw page format it uses.
A quick check of /idgames shows no project ever replacing it - especially no ZDoom-based project - so no extended handling is needed to make this work with other texture formats.
- with renderers freely switchable, some shortcuts in the 3D floor code had to be removed, because now the hardware renderer can get FF_THISINSIDE-flagged 3D floors.
- changed handling of attenuated lights in the legacy renderer to be adjusted when being rendered instead of when being spawned. For the software renderer the light needs to retain its original values.
This data must be immutable, if any mod plays loose here, very bad things can happen, so this hole got plugged, even at the expense risking to break some badly behaving mods.
This deals with what seems to be the only hardcoded piece of text in Strife. Also added a translation to the French file and removed a few superfluous line breaks in the English one.
This also replaces DTA_ColormapStyle with proper implementations of its components. As implemented it was a very awkward mixture of various effects that already existed in a separate form. As a result of its implementation it required additional but completely redundant shader support which could be removed now. As a side effect of this change a new DTA_Desaturate option was added.
This cannot be allowed under any circumstances because this is what links the map geometry together.
Yes, it will break any mod that tries to play with these variables, but any such mod has to be considered broken by design and must be stopped.
Notes:
* ADL: The DMX volume model was set as default to unify volumes on all bank. Otherwise, if you will use 'Generic' or 'Win9x', the sound will became too loud than wanted. Each bank has own default volume model which is used when 'Auto' is set.
* ADL: 6 chips is optimal to work with default banks
* OPN: 8 chips are set to provide 48 polyphony channels. (each OPN2 chip has 6 channels only)
* Text files: junk spaces from end of lines are was auto-removed.
There is now a separate MIDI player options menu which is a list of submenus, one for each player (except for OPNMIDI which does not have any options yet.
Note that this is just the bare abstract interface. It is up to content makers to define usable HUD message classes and optionally contribute them to the engine.
There was a clear attempt here to let the item keep control of the remaining morph time, but since the item would have gotten destroyed right afterward it just shot itself in the foot badly by doing so.
Just leaving the remaining work to the main unmorphing check in the PlayerThink code by doing nothing will avoid the bad situation where a player gets stuck in its morphed form.
This method can be used with arbitrary actor object like thing.ACS_ScriptCall("script")
CallACS() and ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult() intrinsics work only within self actor context
The text input field for the configs have been removed. Instead it will now present a list of soundfonts that are found in specific locations.
For that it will look in the 'soundfont' directories of the FileSearch.Directories entry of the config.
Acceptable file formats here are SF2 and zipped GUS patch sets. These zipped patch sets need to have a timidity.cfg at the root and refer to all containing data by relative path. References to outside files are not allowed here.
It is still possible to refer to sound fonts elsewhere on the hard drive by manually entering a path at the console - but these won't show in the menu and will get lost if one cycles through the list of available options.
Of the available softsynths, FluidSynth will only list SF", Wildmidi will only list GUS patch sets and Timidity++ and GUS will list both.
Please note that although the GUS synth can read SF2, the output appears to be broken die to some old bug.
Restart requirement for quad stereo mode should be output to console because CVAR can be toggled directly from it
Long option names break menu layout on some aspect ratios like 16:10
* Improved French translation, also covers previously missing strings.
* Adds a string for Borderless Windowed.
* Adds option to enable or disable borderless windowed for Windows only.
These commits had to be manually recreated because somehow the files appaarently ended up with CRLF in the repo which can cause problems with Windows Git and line ending normalization on.
- Both cream and olive have been tweaked to now feature a broader range of shades, and so much starker, legible character outlines for the default fonts.
- Cream now uses 2 shading ranges to ensure it retains the look of the brown palette while having this extra outline contrast.
- This has so far been tested with the standard Doom smallfont, bigfont, and the ZDoom confont.
