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.
* Fixed issue of creating new SubScene using the full level template instead of a blank level file
* Fixed subScene inspector field handling so clicking the create new will mark the 'in place' created level asset as a subscene appropriately
* Changed up persistenceManager logic when parsing objects out - especially with specialty fields - to use Strings instead of const char* to simplify memory juggling and improve stability
* Rolled back specialty array field outputs for decal roads and convex shapes to have the field names in the output again
* Added sanity check for MeshRoad's when writing out via specialty array field to ensure there are profile nodes before trying to write any
* Added sanity check to avoid pointlessly writing out meshroad and river position field into subScene file as it could cause a transform double-up and cause them to move when loading from a subscene
Fixes behavior with gamemode selection in ChooseLevelMenu so if there is only one gamemode, it is auto-selected and advances to the level selection
Update ExampleLevel in ExampleModule to have updated gamemodes field name
Fixes loading of modified surfaceTextures by properly inserting into stringtable
Fixes display of the active and default material previews in the ConvexShape editor
Adds buttons to hollow and recenter selected convex to tool window
we were seeing vert type vs shadergen mismatches. this is a route to conform the former to the latter, which avoids generating a unique shader/processedmaterial combo
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 bufferLen issue with guiTreeViewCtrl
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
Removed unneeded MainEditor mockup module
Removed some unused/duplicate image assets from the tools
while not a major issue per-se, the sheer number of times the engine has to jump back in memory and backfill data in a given class can add up. First run of... many.,
