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.
Updates groundCover to utilize TerrainMaterialAsset macros in place of straight StringTableEntry for type layers
Fixes formatting for several asset types' inspector fields so they correctly call down into prompting the AssetBrowser being shown with correct field naming, thus allowing fields that are arrays to have the right index when setting the target variable

Processed core, tools and default modules to utilize assets
Converted all console types that were string based, such as TypeImageFilename to utilize const char*/the string table, which avoids a lot of type swapping shenanigans and avoids string corruption

Fixed sizing issue for material asset ptr fields
Fixed type of comment in Particle Asset

Added ability to process DTS files to shape import so it can parse out content such as materials for associated asset imports
Added better handling for shape materials that are just colors
Added callback hook-in so if the importer doesn't have a defined function for importing a given asset type, it'll try calling down into the editor
Stabilized imageAsset processing logic when generating a material for it
Improved imageType lookup/processing logic in Importer
Improved logic for binding in associated image files to materialAssets
Improved logic for processing shapes to get related materials and images, ensuring better likelyhood of finding and associating related assets
Cleaned up validation logic
Added ability to properly look up the editor's default import config if it's set to be used for autoimport
Improved handling of originalFilePath logic, so if it's an in-place import, it doesn't bother populating the field
Set default UP axis value on shape importing to ensure better default behavior
Added ability to check if popup menu is currently Visible
Removed unwanted path debug/testing code from tsShapeConstructor
