libmpq is a much simpler alternative to StormLib for reading MPQ archives.
We use our own fork of libmpq: https://github.com/diasurgical/libmpq
Impact:
* DevilutionX is now a lot more portable. Unlike StormLib, libmpq only
needs platform-specific code for Windows.
* Locks around file access **removed** (instead we duplicate the file descriptor for streamed audio only).
* RAM usage is **300 KiB** lower than StormLib.
* Stripped release linux_x86_64 binary is **32 KiB** smaller.
* Amiga build now hangs instead of crashing.
Do not limit filesystem paths to 259 chars for MPQs, save files, and diablo.ini.
The MAX_PATH constant remains but now only limits path lengths within the MPQs.
The game will now autodetect if it should run in shareware mode or full
retail based on the found mpq file. Additionally it can beforced in the
shareware mode with --spawn even if the retail data is found.
This simplifies a lot of the spagetty code and lets us better refactor,
also worth noteing is that we won't have to setup a secound set of build
tests.
- Use UiOkDialog() to display all error messages
- Add SDL simple message, and console fallbacks to UiOkDialog()
- Boot graphics early on to facilitate most error messages with build in
gui
- Some more miniwin clean ups
Ui code is moved to the correct file so that it is initialized after the
audio. This also rebases effects.cpp on the upstream as this fixes some
issues we where having. WinMain has also been rebased.
