This function will truncate everything that is larger than LONG_MAX or smaller than LONG_MIN to fit into a long variable, but longs are 32 bit on Windows and 64 bit elsewhere, so to ensure consistency and the ability to parse larger values better use strtoll which does not truncate 32 bit values.
This was done to ensure it can be properly overridden in scripts without causing problems when called during engine shutdown for the type and symbol objects the VM needs to work and to have the scripted version always run first.
Since the scripted OnDestroy method never calls the native version - the native one is run after the scripted one - this can be simply skipped over during shutdown.
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
* everything related to scripting is now placed in a subdirectory 'scripting', which itself is separated into DECORATE, ZSCRIPT, the VM and code generation.
* a few items have been moved to different headers so that the DECORATE parser definitions can mostly be kept local. The only exception at the moment is the flags interface on which 3 source files depend.
- always make the top level object randomaccess when opening a JSON file for reading. Some things won't work right if this is opened for sequential access.
- For most cvars, this is equivalent to calling GetGenericRep() to get a
string.
- For float cvars, it uses %g instead of %H, because %H is generally more
information than is needed.
- removed use of finesine for creating the player backdrop for the menu display. This mostly uses the code from the old 2.0 floating point version but fixes some of the constants in there which were not correct.
- replaced some uses of FRACUNIT with OPAQUE when it was about translucency.
- simplified some overly complicated translucency multiplications in the SBARINFO code.
The reason is that in such a case it is very likely that the IWAD defines its own menu and will most likely not provide all assets for the base definitions. See 'Adventures of Square' for an example.
- replace all implicit conversions from FString to const char * in the header files (so that it can be test compiled with the implicit type conversion turned off without throwing thousands of identical errors.)
- having a value of 5000 as the default for autoaim makes no sense, since this is an angle value that will always be clamped to [0..35]. So now 35 is both the default and the maximum.
