Unfortunately this means that the keybinding menus in all games except Blood are shot to shit right now because of how they passed the data on to its destination.
These menus are not fixable, this will have to wait until the replacement is up.
That's one more third party dependency down.
Not only are two hashing algorithms redundant, there was also a large size discrepancy: SuperFastHash is 3 kb of source code while xxhash is 120kb and generally extremely awful code.
It was easy to make a choice here. None of the use cases require this kind of performance tweaking, the longest hashed block of data is a 768 byte palette.
- disabled the user maps menu because it is hopelessly dependent on functionality that cannot be fixed. Better wait until the menu refactor to do it right - it'd be a waste of time fixing the current menus.
Some part are not done yet, and the file system data is currently ignored - there's no way to properly set this up with the file system code Build came with.
Also removed the entire cruft related to this - the pointless offsetting value and the precalculation of the timer value (as if we could not afford a single division for something that WAITS!
Unfortunately this required removal of the menu option for the time being.
Blood was fine, albeit with an inverted scale, but the EDuke implementation was something very special - and not in a good way, using 4 CVARs to store the scaling state instead of one.
This is a lot of changes in a lot of code because nothing here was abstracted into the sound system. :(
Hopefully most of the affected code here can be tossed out soon, it's not pretty.
This is going to be a lot of work consolidating the 3 frontends' settings but a necessary evil for eventually getting Shadow Warrior to work as it is quite lacking here.
- consolidated Polymost precaching and removed precaching for static tiles because they now are always loaded.
- removed cache configurability. On modern systems this is relatively pointless - allocating 50 or 100 MB is a non-issue - and the cache is due for replacement anyway.
Sorry, but having a globally writable pointer to every texture is just insane and makes any functional management impossible.
This is merely a preparation for adding a real texture manager. That cannot be done if any code can write over the data at will. For that, it now has to make the texture writable first or create a writable empty texture.
