Extends the MDL system beyond text overrides: bitmaps/<label>.json
names a model/scale and resource list, and mdlp extracts each
resource's frames, runs them through an ONNX Runtime CPU upscaler
baked into mdlp-image, re-quantizes to the game's palette, and writes
the result back - same build-time pipeline as message overrides.
Adds animgallery, a standalone viewer that renders any data
directory's animated resources as an HTML/GIF gallery with a
checkbox-driven MDL JSON generator, and -only-changed to preview just
what a mod overrides against the base game.
Fixes a real data race in hacked's ChangeNotifier.hashAll() (found via
go build -race causing non-deterministic resource counts), via a new
numbered patch rather than editing the vendored source.
Adds engine-patches/, a general-fixes counterpart to
android/engine-patches/ now staged and applied to the desktop builds
too (previously unpatched): a real GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH stride bug, an
audio error-logging improvement, and two critter-rendering fixes -
mod art was losing to the base game's own re-opened resource files,
and critters rendered at the wrong size/position once that was fixed,
both from how the billboard renderer derives on-screen size and
placement straight from bitmap pixel dimensions.
Updates README.md and AGENTS.md to document engine-patches/.
issues on vboxsf-mounted checkouts
New `make dist-win`/`package-win` targets (folded into `dist`/`package`
alongside the renamed `dist-linux`/`package-linux`) cross-compile
systemshock.exe via MinGW, using prebuilt SDL2/SDL2_mixer/GLEW/
fluidsynth-lite baked into the build-image - no Windows machine or Wine
needed to build it, confirmed working and playable on a real Windows
machine. dist-win/ ships DLLs flat alongside the exe plus a new
res/run.bat launcher, packaged into a .zip the same way dist/ becomes a
.tar.gz.
Also fixes three build-image bugs hit while testing on a VirtualBox
vboxsf-mounted checkout: build-engine.sh/docker-entrypoint.sh losing
their execute bit (chmod +x on restrictive source perms), the container
user missing access to /workspace's supplementary vboxsf group, and
cp -a failing on symlink/hard-link creation (vboxsf doesn't support
either) - now falls back to dereferencing copies when detected. Also
adds Docker/zip/etc. prerequisites to the README for both the desktop
and Quest builds.
