This isn't active, though, because load times are so short these days that all this results in is an irritating screen flash before the level starts.
It may be activated later when hires assets are in use.
Fixes#10 (or not...? ;) )
This timer only gets incremented by the main game ticker when the playsim is running.
This timer gets used for all playsim-related timing and animations so that these are decoupled from imprecisions in the global timer.
The new main loop code cannot handle that. Instead set a start value for gameclock so that gameclock can be based on an arbitrary time value instead of directly representing global time.
* moved the part that alters the input before queuing it to GetInput
* moved moveloop into the main function
* reshuffled a few things for better grouping by task.
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.
* I doubt anyone will be running this on a system where computing a tic might take longer than a tic, but it's more consistent with the other games and is what it was.
Currently the bit fields are still separate and they have to be merged, but for now the added memory does not matter.
Having this structure in the common parts will allow work on consolidating the input code, though.
* Breaks every other game except Duke unless/until they get migrated. Done for the purpose of demonstrating PR #244.
# Conflicts:
# source/build/src/timer.cpp
# source/games/duke/src/game.cpp
* It's also better that everything be based off the one tic clock and not call `I_GetBuildTime()` to set `gameclock`. This also ensures that `gameclock` always increases in intervals of 4.
This reverts commit 63eac13d6442357fdab57067ec913a2ce8ce72db.
* Build timer still requires initialisation due to multiple `timerSetCallback()` that still need to work.
# Conflicts:
# source/core/menu/menu.cpp
# source/games/duke/src/game.cpp
* rewrote all uses of timerSetCallback. Most were unnecessary or long obsolete, the sound updates need to run per frame, not per tic and the UI tickers need to be handled in the main loop anyway.
* Use a more precise timer to animate the menu transition.
* uncouple other menu animations from the game timer.
It will no longer depend on the game state when the menu was opened but the current game state - only on the dedicated menu screen there's no dimming - everywhere else a dim gets applied.
Also renamed GS_DEMOSCREEN to GS_MENUSCREEN for clarity
