This needs to be replaced with the game independent ZDoom version and hooked up properly, but it of low priority because it's a multiplayer only feature.
* removed old sound loading code, which was the last bit to use cacheAllocateBlock which is also gone now.
* cleanup of player sound code. All game side tracking of the sound resources has been removed.
does not compile yet.
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.
- 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.
* saving of demos and savegames no longer mindlessly writes to the mod directory. All such access is now being rerouted through the special paths interface so that the game data can reside in write protected locations.
* refactored all occurences of klistpath except fnlist_getnames.
* do not allow CON scripts to write to arbitrary files. This is a massive exploit and can be used to cause real damage if someone knows how to play this thing - it's far easier than people may think! It will now write any such data to a special section in the main config which is safe and cannot be manipulated to write to random locations on the hard drive.
Currently this only contains the main Polymost shaders and the resources from nblood.pk3.
The latter cannot be used yet because the Build resource management system is too stubborn to add the newly added file without some changes.
It's better to refactor the entire system instead.
Renamed all elements still referring to zdoom.
removed the frontend specific resource data.
fixed startup dialog to accept ANSI date despite building as Unicode. This needed a bit of hackery because the macros in windowsx.h are not character set sensitive.
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.
