Just replaced with a linear array - for a hash table indexed with a string to be efficient, a much larger amount of data is needed than 20 or 30 entries.
This is also hardly the kind of data where losing a microsecond for performing the search matters.
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.
- 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.
