GL entrypoint resolution is now done manually. This has a couple
immediate benefits, such as not having to retrieve hundreds of
functions pointers that we'll never use. It's also nice to have
an exact overview of all the entrypoints used by mkxp.
This change allows mkxp to run fine with core contexts, not sure
how relevant that is going to be in the future.
What's noteworthy is that _all_ entrypoints, even the ones core
in 1.1 and guaranteed to be in every libGL, are resolved
dynamically.
This has the added benefit of not having to link directly against
libGL anymore, which also cleans up the output of `ldd` quite
a bit (SDL2 loads most system deps dynamically at runtime).
GL headers are still required at build time.
This bit was deprecated/removed in core GL.
There was only one place where this was used (flash tiles
in Tilemap), and since the full shader rewrite, it was
effectively a no-op anyway (flash shader doesn't sample texture).
Previously, any font names requested by RGSS would be translated
directly to filenames by lowercasing and replacing spaces with
underscores (and finally doing some extension substitution).
To make this whole thing work smoother as well as get closer to
how font discovery is done in VX, we now scan the "Fonts/" folder
at startup and index all present font assets by their family name;
now, if an "Open Sans" font is present in "Fonts/", it will be
used regardless of filename.
Font assets with "Regular" style are preferred, but in their
absence, mkxp will make use of any other style it can find for
the respective family. This is not the exact same behavior as
VX, but it should cover 95% of use cases.
Previously, one could substitute fonts via filenames, ie. to
substitute "Arial" with "Open Sans", one would just rename
"OpenSans.ttf" to "arial.ttf" and put it in "Fonts/". With the
above change, this is no longer possible. As an alternative, one
can now explicitly specify font family substitutions via mkxp.conf;
eg. for the above case, one would add
fontSub=Arial>Open Sans
to the configuration file. Multiple such rules can be specified.
In the process, I also added the ability to provide
'Font.(default_)name' with an array of font families to search
for the first existing one instead of a plain string.
This makes the behavior closer to RMXP; however, it doesn't
work 100% the same: when a reference to the 'Font.name' array is
held and additional strings are added to it without re-assignig
the array to 'Font.name', those will be ignored.
This initial implementation emulates the way RMVX splits
the sprite into "chunks" of about 8 pixels, which it then
scrolls left/right on a vertical sine wave. It even
replicates the weird behavior when wave_amp < 0, namely
"shrinking" the src_rect horizontally.
As with bush_opacity, this effect in combination with
rotation will render differently from RMVX.
