This used to be used for `P_RelinkPointers()`, but was superseded by the far saner mobjnum. HOWEVER, its lingering effect was to leave `mobj->info` in an invalid state until a later `P_FinishMobjs()` was called. This is memory unsafety :D
After removing the last remnants of this ancient hack, it is now once again possible to connect to a server without crashing immediately. However, I did get a crash after a few seconds, so there is definitely still *something* nasty going on under the hood.
Foundational assistive work.
Also guarantees a consistent cup name length in memory, as some places read/wrote 15 bytes, and some places read/wrote 16 bytes. We settle on the latter (including null terminator) for the broadest backwards compatibility.
G: partial merge, missing lots of cup stuff
- Defaults to 1, AKA Sonic 1/2 monitor
- Set to 2 for Sonic 3k monitor
- Supports a range of 1-9 and A-Z
- Permits fine-grained rapid-prototype stretch goal Chaotix monitor stuff later in development
R_AllocTextureColumnTables wasn't checking if the tables were never allocated, making the renderer later attempt to render midtextures for drawsegs that don't contain actual midtextures.
* Instead of doing constant G_MapNumbers when finding the relationship between maps and cups...
* Add a cache of level IDs to cups, to go with the strings.
* Add a cache of the cup pointer to maps, so we don't have to search through all cups to find our map. (done in P_InitMapData)
* Pre-emptive work: G_IsSpecialStage and P_GetNextEmerald now reference cup data instead of a hardcoded ID set.
* Remove a bunch of old stuff from mapheaderinfo_t/associated, and reorder what stays
* Countdowntimer? 💥
* Startrings? 💥
* sstimer/ssspheres? 💥
* forcecharacter? 💥 (distinct from forceskin)
* interscreen? 💥
* sstage_start/end and smpstage_start/end? 💥💥💥💥
* You've been blocked
* G_MapNumber now returns a special NEXTMAP_INVALID if not found, for more consistent reference.
* Incorporate a good chunk of the `edit-headers` branch. Can't clear maps individually because of the new restrictions on sequential mapheaders, but we can add a "disable in vote screen, not even for map hell/archive" flag to a map at some future juncture for equivalent functionality...
