The GFX (DirectX) pipeline did not respect the choice of adapter and
always went for the default one. Normally this isn't an issue unless
you wish to target a particular adapter and display device combination.
This has been corrected.
The GFX initialize functions now attempt to find the best adapter that
matches a given display device (i.e. monitor) if one has been passed in.
To aid with choosing a display device some new monitor enumeration
methods have been added to the platform window manager. These methods
have been exposed to the Canvas.
- displaySplashWindow() now takes an optional path to a bitmap file.
- Missing, unavailable and warning texture paths now come from
GFXTextureManager static methods.
- New InputEventManager class. It will be used by 3rd party input
devices to generate Torque 3D input events.
- Expanded the input event signal to include three new floats and a new
integer.
- Expanded the number of joystick buttons to 48.
- The input virtual map is now extendable rather than hard coded.
- The input devices types are now extendable rather than hard coded.
- New SI_POS, SI_ROT, SI_INT, and SI_FLOAT input event types.
- New SI_VALUE input action type.
- ActionMap has been updated to work with these changes.
- Removed unnecessary references to platform/event.h
