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.
add reloading state to asset tracking,
convert most asset.isnull() checks on over to skipping out unless the errcode is ::Ok, or ::UsingFallback
add more errstriongcodes to hook up
skip load<type> execution if the asset loaded state is ::Ok
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
Adds handling for finding material asset akin to shape and image assets
Updates the material asset inspector field to follow the current standard
Updates prototyping material assets to correctly have materialDefinitionName assigned
Fixed material asset import step to properly assign materialDefinitionName
Fixed typo in material editor icon name
Added logic to editAsset function call so it can also parse assetIds
Changed DefaultEditorLevel to utilize FloorGray material
Adds proper NoMaterial asset for fallback purposes

special-types -- defines a type bit for polysoup objects.
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.,
- Fix for issue https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/issues/525 This
fix takes into account the skewed view into the world when you have a
projection offset and the ability to see further into the scene at the
edges opposite to the offset.
- SceneCullingState now has two frustum rather than one: a culling
frustum and camera frustum.
- The camera frustum should be referenced when you need the projection
matrix or don't want a skewed frustum.
- The culling frustum should be referenced during any scene culling or
when determining what dynamic geometry to render. It currently skews
itself to take into account any projection offset (automatically
calculated in SceneCullingState constructor).
- When there is no projection offset, the camera frustum and culling
frustum are the same. This usually means any time when not using the
Oculus Rift.
