- fixed a crash in the 2D drawer when two consecutively allocated vertex buffers had the same address. Strangely this only occured with Exhumed but not the other games
- fixed Exhumed crashing with sound disabled.
- hooked up all front ends with a generic message printing function so that common code can access the native message displays. This is needed for consolidation of some input actions which are mostly identical but print messages.
- preparations for a generic message system.
Not only is this a deprecated feature - it also does not work right when complex lighting is at play, it must be done in the shader to get proper results.
