The Steam/GOG path getters were taken out of the frontends.
This also switches the Windows directory reader touse the wide string version to get Unicode file names.
Some paths were added to the config file instead of hard coding them.
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.
This removes all unused parts of the implementation and moves the rest to the InputState class for easier replacement later. All MACT is doing now here is to call the UpdateStatus function, the internal workings are no longer relevant.
- write the console log to the folder returned by M_GetDocumentsPath and not to the root game directory.
- removed G_ExtPreInit because it has become redundant. The search path setup will have to be redone anyway.
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.
These will have to do some texture management bookkeeping so directly changing the values is problematic.
This required changing the parameter interface in polymost.cpp because a few places hacked around with the global state to pass parameters to subfunctions.
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.
