The sprite lists may still need optimization. Due to different handling between Blood and the core engine they need to be written out completely which is quite wasteful.
* Blood had this right. It makes sense that the horizon be based around as it's easier to work with.
* Removed all associated game math to deduct default horizon of 100 when doing weapon zvel etc, meaning actual horizon can just be used.
* Re-did return to center function to work on the already converted pitch. Return speed should be 1:1 with previous code.
Apparently this is needed by some hires packs to fudge the sprite offsets.
Fortunately, setting sprite offsets is the only thing this was ever used for so it's relatively uninvasive.
This is for consistency, otherwise sprites with a palette translation would stand out. Also use shade dependent fog density instead of a single global value.
Currently this only has an effect in true color rendering mode.
* use static_assert directly. Raze is C++17, no need for that macro shit.
* removed CONSTEXPR - I seriously fail to see the use here, many of the functions marked as CONSTEXPR cannot possibly even be constant evaluated so the declaration makes no sense. Removed most of these and replaced the valid ones with the official constexpr keyword.
* got rid of EDUKE_PREDICT_FALSE - this makes zero sense in script parsing code, at best it will save a few microseconds. Clean code wins.
* replaced Blrintf with xs_CRoundToInt. Shitty name is shitty name, even if derived from POSIX.
* replaced Bstr*casecmp with str*icmp. As these get defined in the CMake project based on actual compiler checks they are preferable here.
* removed lots of other stuff that is not needed with a minimum compiler requirement of C++17.
* Remove fix16.h/cpp and utilise library from m_fixed.h.
* Extend m_fixed.h with two inline functions for int to/from float operations.
* Replace fix16_floor operations with those from xs_Float.h
* Replace multiple Q16.16 conversions from 0 to just be 0.
* Replaced all found in-game bit-shifts and multiplications/divisions with inline functions from m_fixed.h
* Replaced many casts of FRACUNIT as double in SW's panel.cpp as it is converted to double by way of type promotion.
* Fixed missed precision fixes in SW's panel.cpp where some types weren't declared correctly.
* Replaced 100+ `Cos()/Sin() >> 16` operations for Blood with inline functions `CosScale16()/SinScale16()`.
In particular this means to remove the option to disable widescreen aspect ratios. The way this was handled makes no sense with the current render backend.
The aspect ratio code will have to be redone entirely to properly obey the backend's settings.
* Changes performed in 0bd460d9e3 didn't take into account xdimenscale and viewingrangerecip like the days of old and this wasn't picked up in d80a32d379 or d80a32d379, where the applied fixes only appeared to work because they worked for me at 2560x1440p.
* Output from PrintVis() in 9dfd3ddd02 showed resulting global visibility as 0.078125.
* Following 0bd460d9e3, resulting global visibility shown as 0.041667.
* Scaling g_visibility by (8.f / 15.f) (0.533333) restores resulting global visibility to 0.078125.
There are effectively two states - the one in the backend and a local one in the drawer for the render list which is supposed to eliminate some of the more costly repeated calls.
This higher level state was cached globally, which did not work anymore because the real render state could be changed elsewhere without this code realizing it.
All this means that the render list drawer must create a new state cache for each call and also must apply its current pending render state before leaving to ensure that everything is properly reset.
The main reason here is that the scene specific part contains a projection dependent component which would be a problem when transitioning to GZDoom's code. The global viewpoint data already has a field for such a factor so now that gets used.
This also means a significant simplification of the visibility code in Polymost and the removal of several global variables.
