What changed in EDuke32, build by build

Syntax changes for gamevar and gamearray declarations:

Revise some CON VM error messages for consistency. Upgrade a couple of CON VM errors to a new critical error type which pops up a dialog box when the error is encountered. If you've been writing crappy scripts that spam "divide by zero!" errors into the log that you've been ignoring, you're gonna have a bad time.

Some work on CON arrays. Hopefully nothing is broken!

Add support for bitmap gamearrays and expose gotpic to CON

Allow writing to 8 and 16-bit CON arrays

Add OSD_PROTECTED flag, set when gamefunc_Show_Console has been undefined from CON. Currently just requires you hold down shift when pressing the console key to open the console.

Potential CON performance improvements

Can Duke3D CON version compatibility messages in standalone builds

Gamevar cleanup

Use macros for special gamevar access range checking

Change hard-coded subway effect damage to generic explosive damage that can be handled by CON. Fixes subway kills not counting toward the dead monster count and allows CON scripts to handle subway damage however they like.

Move Mapster32 autoexec to before the map specified on the command line is loaded, to allow EVENT_PRELOADMAP and EVENT_LOADMAP to work when loading a map from the command line. This makes the console output of autoexec a little worse but the OSD will be fixed at a later time.

Minor changes to gamevar error handling

Misc cleanup. Removed ability to use .CON files found in the .GRP when the .CON files found in the directory can't be compiled.

Fix detection of menu sounds in EVENT_SOUND

Support saving specified CON arrays in map states

Remove some unused gamevars pertaining to the original multiplayer code. DONT_BUILD.

Fix EVENT_DISPLAYROOMS and EVENT_DISPLAYROOMSCAMERA RETURN values

Fix problem with C-CON sector and wall structure access. Oops.

CON compilation and debug message fuckery affecting virtually nobody

Clean up a couple instances of direct usage of a magic number in the CON compiler. DONT_BUILD.

Make the bitptr stuff in the CON compiler more readable.

Minor change to some gamevar warnings. DONT_BUILD.

Fix CON compiler errors. Me no smart.

Misc cleanup, add shorthand versions of getplayer, getactor, etc.

Treat "[]" as "[THISACTOR]" when accessing structure members through CON.

Add "klabs" keyword to CON, to take a gamevar and set it to its absolute value. The internal "inv" function to invert a gamevar's value has also been exposed externally.

Add commands added in previous commit to g_keywdate[], clean up a few CON compilation warning messages

Adds the following keywords from M32script into CON: shiftvarvarl, shiftvarvarr, ifvarvarle, ifvarvarge, ifvarvarboth, whilevarl, and whilevarvarl.

Fix issue with sin/cos CON commands that prevented using the special builtin structure shortcut access vars for input.

Add vm_player, vm_sprite and vm_distance to get/setuserdef. This controls the sprite and player referenced by things like "THISACTOR", all of the "ifp" conditionals, per-actor gamevar access, etc. This is intended to be used to un-gimp things like EVENT_WORLD.

Draw frame at level start after EVENT_LOADPLAYER instead of before.

Minor internal CON changes.

Add line numbers to a couple of .def parsing warning messages. At some point these should probably all be cleaned up, similar to how they're handled with CON parsing. DONT_BUILD.

A lot of CON rewrites/optimizations. Converts projectile system to dynamic allocation, saving a bunch of memory (something like sizeof(projectile_t) * MAXTILES * 2). This commit also contains changes that reduce overhead for CON commands that take a lot of parameters, by way of adding a Gv_GetManyVars() to replace long strings of subsequent calls to Gv_GetVarX().

Further gamevar changes/optimizations. This also fixes a bug Fox reported with the "shortcut" access to structure members that's tacked on to GetVar, where if the value of the index you're trying to access happened to equal the ID of the current sprite, it would act as if the variable passed was THISACTOR.
