Variants can now have limited or no diversity. This can occasionally
speed rendering slightly (5-10% FPS increase was reported on Combat Demo
Huge, which is very variant-heavy).

This was SVN commit r25613.
XMB format is bumped to 4, invalidating all cached files. The
differences are:
- element/attribute names are stored after the elements themselves, and
not before. This allows writing XMB data in one pass instead of two.
- names themselves becomes offsets (instead of arbitrary integers),
making getting the string from the int name much more efficient.
XMBFile is renamed to XMBData to clarify that it does not, in fact,
refer to a file on disk.
XMBData::GetElementString is also changed to return a const char*, thus
not creating an std::string. A string_view version is added where
convenient.
The XML->XMB and JS->XMB conversion functions and the corresponding
storage are moved to `ps/XMB`, since that format doesn't particularly
relate to XML. CXeromyces becomes lighter and more focused as a result.
The XML->XMB conversion also benefits from the above streamlining.
Note that in a few cases, string_view gets printed to CLogger via
data(), which is generally not legal, but we know that the strings are
null-terminated here. Our libfmt (version 4) doesn't support
string_view, that would be v5.

It's currently possible to trigger ENSUREs in the code if loading empty
groups, which is easy enough with LOD and shouldn't happen.
Recover gracefully from these errors instead.

This was SVN commit r25320.
Emplace does not replace existing element, insert_or_assign does.
While at it:
- Clean up the 'outdated' logic and reuse it for actors
- When an actor fails to load, return a placeholder. This improves
hotloading of broken actors, and makes Cunit behaviour more predictable.
- Some minor cleanup

This was SVN commit r25308.
An actor file, as referenced by the VisualActor, can now define
different actors for different "quality level" setting.
In this initial version, the quality is handled directly by the object
manager.
Actor format impact:
- '<qualitylevels>' may be used as the root node, containing actor nodes
as children.
- such actor nodes can refer to a file, or to an inline actor, or
simply be inlined.
- such actor nodes may have a 'quality' attribute, specifying the
maximum quality level of this actor. By default, 255 (the maximum) is
implied.
- The actor format remains valid, but 'groups', 'variants', 'material',
'castshadow' and 'float' can be given a [minquality, maxquality[ range
via XML attributes. Outside of this range, the XML node is ignored
(making it possible to define, in a single actor file, several quality
levels).
Quality is a 0-255 value, with:
- Range 0-99 intended for lower level-of-detail actors (billboards,
etc.)
- Range 100-200 the 'normal' range for models. 100 is "low", 150
"medium", and 200 "high".
- Range 201-255 used for higher quality actors that might be used for
e.g. cinematics.
The range is wide to make it easier to add intermediate levels in the
future and it seemed easier given that an integer value of some kind was
required anyways.
Engine impacts:
- A new CActorDef class is introduced, wrapping an art/actors XML file
and its different quality levels. ObjectBase remains the definition of a
given 'actor', now at a given quality level.
- CActorDef imposes a maximal # of quality level for a particular actor
definition (5 currently).
- CUnit is made to refer to an Actor Definition explicitly, not a
particular ObjectBase.
- As a minor optimisation, variation keys are calculated on
pointer-to-sets-of-selections, instead of raw sets-of-selections, as
this reduces copying.
- some refactoring, including better const-correctness and hotloading
support via std::shared_ptr.

file="" properties were not overriden by other things defined in the
actor, which lead to weird edge cases, such as frequency="0" variants
being loaded because their names="" ended up matching their parent's
name=""
Also remove the name because it doesn't serve a purpose

Also add a shortcut for some defines to clean-up material files slightly
and make the link between sampler and shader more explicit.
This was SVN commit r16427.
Everything is char* now, so we don't need to mess around with different
string types.

Support conditional expressions in shader effect XML files.
Consolidate fixed-function model rendering into the shader system.
Remove lots of now-obsolete renderer code.
Move shader defines from std::map to new class with interned data, for
performance.
Move texture from model into material.
Alleviate singletonitis.
Remove obsolete lodbias setting.
Remove unused terrain shadow transparency.
This was SVN commit r11423.
the old debug_assert always ran and tested the expression, which slows
down release builds. wrapping them in #ifndef NDEBUG is clumsy. the new
ASSERT behaves like assert and ENSURE like the old debug_assert. Let's
change any time-critical but not-super-important ENSURE to ASSERT to
speed up release builds. (already done in bits.h and unique_range.h)
This was SVN commit r9362.
- use wrapper class instead of std::wstring (reduces mixing of
strings/paths; allows safe+easy join via operator/ and convenient
case-insensitive comparison via operator==, avoids NativePathFromString,
similar to boost::filesystem)
- NativePath -> OsPath
- add hash and To/FromJSVal for Path
- add TS_ASSERT_PATH_EQUALS
- replace _wfopen_s with sys_OpenFile
- remove obsolete SortFiles/Directories
This was SVN commit r9107.
- replace more std::wstring with Native or VfsPath; wstring_from_utf8 ->
NativePathFromString
- replace sequences of Join(Path(), Basename+extension) with
ChangeExtension in wsdl, CacheLoader
- add Path::IsDirectory to replace .empty() / path_is_dir_sep(.back()).
also changed behavior to reflect the fact that "" is the VFS root
_directory_
- Path::Join now allows 2 identical path types (e.g. VfsPath) or one
char* literal (prevents inadvertently introducing non-safe characters).
to convert from wstring or wchar_t, use an explicit ctor (e.g.
VfsPath(wchar_t_string))

Handle most CStr8/CStrW conversions via UTF-8 instead of effectively

Stop ignoring actor XML animation speeds.

Move player ID storage into CModel, to simplify CUnit.
Remove obsolete unit ID allocation code.
Remove some material junk.
This was SVN commit r7605.
this snowballed into a massive search+destroy of the hodgepodge of
mostly equivalent types we had in use (int, uint, unsigned, unsigned
int, i32, u32, ulong, uintN).
it is more efficient to use 64-bit types in 64-bit mode, so the
preferred default is size_t (for anything remotely resembling a size or
index). tile coordinates are ssize_t to allow more efficient conversion
to/from floating point. flags are int because we almost never need more
than 15 distinct bits, bit test/set is not slower and int is fastest to
type. finally, some data that is pretty much directly passed to OpenGL
is now typed accordingly.
after several hours, the code now requires fewer casts and less
guesswork.
other changes:
- unit and player IDs now have an "invalid id" constant in the
respective class to avoid casting and -1
- fix some endian/64-bit bugs in the map (un)packing. added a
convenience function to write/read a size_t.
- ia32: change CPUID interface to allow passing in ecx (required for
cache topology detection, which I need at work). remove some unneeded
functions from asm, replace with intrinsics where possible.
This was SVN commit r5942.
- deleted most old libraries/headers in codepit to avoid confusion (they
are now in SVN anyway). updated required-libraries-linux.txt accordingly
- moved rand() into separate file, out of lib.cpp
- removed CGUIScrollBarStyle.cpp to avoid empty-file warning
- wxwidgets.h: remove redundant #pragma lib and include wxw PCH
- move openal-specific stuff to external_libraries/openal.h
- cpu, bsd: macosx is-a bsd, so only test OS_BSD
