The way this is handled is the main reason why Build maps are size limited, but since it is extremely invasive it needs to be taken out of the game code piece by piece, this is the framework for doing this for Duke.
The code base currently contains roughly 600 iterator loops directly referencing Build's global variables.
That state of things is not refactorable - these iterator wrappers are supposed to get rid of these explicit references.
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.
Whoever designed that map format with its idiotic encryption should burn in Hell >)
It's a needless complication and open invitation for errors.
To avoid follow up problems it now uses its own local struct for loading in the sprites and the global spritetype no longer depends on any map format and can be changed as the need arises.
Fixes#101
This is needed to extend a few fields that are too narrow - e.g. the texture offset fields have no room for interpolating scrolling textures.
Blood not done yet, will also need to be changed to get rid of the limits.
Another piece of Build licensed code gone, yay!
This will also allow gradual conversion of the DEF parser to our own code, unencumbered by the Build license. :)
This unexpectedly turned out a complete rewrite so now it is under my own license.
Also moved the remaining parts of map hack loading into the engine.
Overall I have to say that the feature is not what I expected, it's merely used to fudge the positioning of model sprites and for adding Polymer lights.
This is mainly a preparation for merging the parser into sc_man, because sc_man does not keep token texts in a static variable.
This commit also fixes a handful of places that were flagged by the stricter conversion rules of FString.
This allowed significant simplification of code data and many of the error checks could also be simplified because this player doesn't really need it all.
Also use nanoseconds to count frame delays, not milliseconds, as milliseconds can cause timing anomalies with common frame rates very easily.
Since the decoder cannot handle sound, there's two options:
1: Use the same sounds as the video it replaces.
2: If an identifiable streamable sound with the same base name is found, it will be played along with the video.
Fixes#133
* 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.
* 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.
* Returns a true double result.
* Also supports fractional input for fractional input. That is, if `sintable[1]` = 50 and `sintable[2]` = 100, `calcSinTableValue(1.5)` = 75.
* Increased precision of `BANG2RAD` define to use double and not float.
* As such, revert addition of `sintablef[]`.
* Serves no purpose in Raze or GZDoom and appears to only have been added to the backend to facilitate the older interpolation code that was excised in 893686709b.
- delete some voxel code that's software rendering only.
- apply Big Endian byte swapping for SFXs, as well, now that this no longer involves hacking the file system cache.
The entire method at use here is essentially not correct. Interpolation should be handled independently of the game timer directly based on the underlying clock, like in ZDoom.
There's interpolation bugs in the Build games that cannot be fixed if totalclock is used for it, but if we use something else we do not need a fractional totalclock.
* 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.
The math backend functions have been moved out of Build because they originally have a good license.

They depend on a deleted texture not writing to the depth buffer, but other parts in the engine like ROR surfaces depend on them writing a proper depth buffer value, so for now there is a global variable that allows to exclude a single tile from ever getting rendered.
This pulls in a lot of Doom specific font setup, this can be sorted out later as it won't get into the way.
