This was some meticulously preserved relic of bad old DOS times used to block OS facilities to close an app.
Since this has been worked around at a lower level already the variable was essentially without function but some quite bad code depended on it.
* removed some redundant functionality (e.g. Shift-F5 to change - use the console for that!)
* removed a few more leftover parts of the old music system
* savegames should not do more than resuming the music at the point of saving. (DN3D and RR only so far. Blood to be done.)
* handle music enabling/disabling in the backend, which simply knows better what to do. This was only working in the menu, so changing the CVAR had no effect.
Not tested yet!
* Added a JSON-based header to the savegames so that the unified menu can read from a common data source.
* moved loading and saving of frontend independent data to the wrapper so that support is automatic.
- Player Control updates
- Minor modern types updates
- There was removed GDX prefix for all modern stuff

Since the code is extremely volatile I changed the setup so that the save is a zip file with the regular snapshot plus all added data as separate entries.
This allows compressing everything properly without savegame breaking interference.
Blood does not yet load its savegames, need to check.
Conmsidering how hard it is in Duke Nukem based games to modify the level music, there is now a setting for this in mussetting.txt to make the job easier and even allow setting level music in Redneck Rampage without replacing game data.
- Added dynamic dispersion for custom dude
- Added dynamic attack distance for custom dude
- Added dynamic damage resistance scale for custom dude
- There was some refactor actions performed
- Added player RX channels for triggering the players
- Updates for modern types
- There was added player control modern type which can do a lot things. It's
still WIP
- Other updates and fixes mainly related to gModernMap
Note that your save games will be no longer compatible

- draw fullscreen blends below the console.
- moved all mouse event processing out of the SDL backend to D_PostEvent.
- removed all remaining code for dealing with mouse buttons directly.
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.
* moved the binding commands to osd.cpp. They were in the global namespace already and this way everything to be tossed out is in the same place when the time comes.
* removed support for the OSDs native CVARs. The only ones left were some internal ones I won't need until this code can be replaced.
* same for the custpmization code the games added. Duke Nukem was the only one anyway to have a decent font for it.
It's still not active but now should produce correct results when working inside the file system.
What it is missing is a file scanner that picks the data it needs to process.
- 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.
