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.
The EDuke32 and RedNukem frontends are working, Blood isn't yet.
Notes:
many of the CMake variables and its output still refer to zdoom. Before changing that I wanted to make sure to be able to commit something that works.
support code for Windows XP has been entirely removed. On Windows this will only target Vista and up.
the crc32.h header had to be renamed to deconflict from zlib.
several Windows API calls were changed to call the A-versions directly. Weirdly enough there were places that defined their parameters as T types but in a non-working way.
removed some remaining editor files and support for the native software rendering only Windows backend.
in a few simple cases, replaced 'char' with 'uint8_t'. The code as-is depends on chars being unsigned which is non-portable. This needs to be carefully reviewed.
