while it still remains a good idea to port as many NULL compares and assignments over to nullPtr as feasable, we do still need to sort out how to better support scripted empty, false, and zero assigns for things like objectIDs.
this means we'll need to both fully convert the backend of the parser to support that kind of thing, but also alter most if not all exisiting NULLs. up to and including things like SAFE_DELETE. while that's certainly feasable, given there's aproximatel 400 nullptr assigns/checks prior to this commit, and roughly 1800 of the prior, if it terminates in a script call and not an aip one direct, we'll be dialing that back until such time as fork fully fopcused on converting and resolving any lingering mismatches is completed.
- Overhauls the material editor to simplify and streamline the logic behind it since the inspector does most of the work
- Tweak a few order positions of materialdefinition fields to work better
- Sets AO, Rough and Metal channel fields to use an enum type for human readability
- Updates the MaterialPreview gui control to work with assetIds
- MatEd now supports setting of parent material to inherit from
- Creating a new material now can prompt selecting an existing material to inherit from
- Can now edit the mapTo value of a material in the matEd
- New standalone Composite Texture Editor window for convering AO, Roughness and Metalness maps in a material to an ORMMap
- Can also star the creation of a composite texture via RMB context menu in AB on an image asset
- Moved logic of CubemapEditor from MatEd to it's own stuff
- Made ImageAsset fields now be more clear when they have nothing assigned, and also have a clear button to empty the field's value so it's consistent across the board
- Reorganized the layout of the gui and image files for the MatEd to be easier to navigate
- MaterialEditor now overlays the EditorGUI instead of being forcefully embedded in it, allowing easy editing of the MatEd Gui via the Gui editor
as well as inspector support to treat a significant chunk of the codebase as range-clmped values which can take a guisliderbarctrl with a configurable at the validator level fidelity variable
additionally adds a new addfieldV and addprotetedfieldV for further callback validated slider-presented variables
*also* adds an on additional callbacks to the inspector itself, like onPreinspectobject, onPostinspectObject, and onPostInspectorfieldModified
in addition to *that*, adds a new hidefield command to tag a given specific field not to show in inspector
moved error printout in guiType guiControlProfile incLoadCount inside a check to make sure the profile has a bitmap asset set.
remove older typeImageAssetId from group and variable inspector classes
Shifted to utilizing SimGroupInterator and persistenceManager to fix saving issues with SubScenes
Shifted to utilizing SimGroupIterator for Scene saving to standardize and minimize object misses
Changed prefab load file logic to add loaded child simgroup to rootscene for consistent tracking and avoiding conflicts with subScene's hijacking the ImmediateGroup var
Reduced duplication of build<type>field callback for inspectors
Added more standard field type lookups to inspector group when creating a field to avoid misses for types like 'F32' or similar.
Folded the added-on MinSize/MaxSize/SimgroupSelect fields for SimGroup editing into a single compound field and fixed bugs with it's behavior so it works as expected now
Updates the dataBlock field type to properly present categorized listings
Expands the datablock Field to have an edit and add buttons on the field to make the workflow simpler
Adds utility functions to GuiPopUpMenuCtrlEx to control indentation, categories and searchability
Expands datablock editor functionality to be able to create a datablock of a type to pre-set the inheritFrom param of the process early(used for the add new button on DB fields to carry-through the current DB to the creation process of a derivative)
Commit from Azaezel to fix the naming of inspector fields.
TypeMatrixField still messes around on first responder, we know these functions convert angAxis to eul properly and from eul to angAxis but when the data comes to TypeMatrix it changes.... weird issue is weird.
-Added 3 new classes
GuiInspectorType2DValue - 2 dimensional value
GuiInspectorType3DValue - 3 dimensional value
GuiInspectorType4DValue - 4 dimensional value
Added GuiInspectorTypePoint3F for 3 dimensional positions.
Added GuiInspectorTypeMatrixRotation for object rotation. Translates rotation to degrees atm. Input from this is not accounted for just yet.
Adds logic during the editor script initialization to let game modules have embedded tools
Changed setting to force prompt for target modules when creating things like datablocks to minimize confusion about where they save to
Added handling for if preview images on image assets fails to generate, will fallback to using the full image
Added handling for double clicking or drag-n-dropping terrain assets to create them
Improved handling of field labels in variable inspector by making the stringtable be case sensitive.
Added editor settings for handling of asset double click behavior. Can now select between Edit Asset and Spawn Asset. Support is asset type dependent.
Added editor setting for auto-importing loose files when navigating to a folder. If on and the user has flagged to also enable auto-import generally, will auto import all unaffiliated loose files in as assets.
Added editor setting for default module to use when creating new assets. Updated various tooling logic so when creating a new material, if this and the 'Always Prompt Module Target' setting is off, it will fill in the target module and target asset path info based on the default module.
Fixed issue with editors that use managedData scripts where if the path didn't exist, the script file wouldn't be made.
Fixed display issue in terrain editor where if you clear the detail map, the normal/macro/orm maps would disable, but not also clear.
Fixed handling of cleared maps in terrain editor so it no longer fills empty maps in with the no image image.
Fixed handling of creating new material where it would fill in the diffuse with a no texture image as the default.
Fixed issue where canceling out of creating a module would still prompt to create the common default folders.
Fixed issue where the Select Module window couldn't be closed via the cancel or x buttons.
Based on feedback, reduced default size of the Text Pad window.
Fixed issue where the Drop At menu list wouldn't correctly display which item was marked after it was changed.
Fixed spawning shape asset handling so it uses whatever the editor's Drop At setting is.
Improved themeing of regular bitmap buttons in the editor.
Based on feedback, flipped layout of Target Module and Target Path in the Create New Asset window.
Improved handling of setting up the Target Path for when creating new assets. If a path is not set, and the user has a Default Module, it will default the path to that module.
Fixed handling of convex shape editor's active and default materials
Fixed assignment of material for convex shapes via editor
Fixed material editor map assignment logic
Added utility function to detect possible duplicate files in project to ProjectImporter
Added conversion of legacy sky and water classes to importer

Fixed loose file bindings for all associated slots in level asset, such as postFX file, decals, etc
Expanded TSStatic onInspect testcase to parse materialSlots and hook-in a specialized material field for editing/quick reference from the inspector

Reorganized AssetBrowser loading and refresh logic so it doesn't stack multiple refresh requests back-to-back causing lag
Updated the search behavior to search not just the current address, but all child folders as well, making it far more useful
Initial work into zip and folder drag-and-drop asset importing support
Removed the import config setting for 'always display material maps' as it is redundant with the new importer context menu actions
Updated example asset type file

Renamed CPP asset template files to have the .template so they aren't accidentally picked up by cmake
Fixed convex editor's material handling to work with AB and reference back properly
Updated AB images for folder up/down navigation buttons, and the breadcrumb divider arrow
