andrew-strong reported that using SDL2, with the window set to full
screen, but a windowed size less than full screen, caused letterbox
sequences, such as the player ship destroyed sequence, to render in a
subwindow sized to the dimensions game would have when unmaximized, even
if the game window is maximized at the time of the sequence.
tycho suggested a change that resolves this issue, and basic testing
showed no unwanted side effects.

ziplantil reported that in Descent 1, if a player has an empty Vulcan
cannon, and no energy, then attempting to fire a weapon would play the
SOUND_ALREADY_SELECTED clip every frame until the player ceased trying
to fire. The problem does not impact Descent 2 since Descent 2 does not
play this sound sample when trying to activate a weapon that is already
active.
If the current weapon is already LASER_INDEX, then
select_primary_weapon(LASER_INDEX) simplifies to:
```
// Pointless, player already using this weapon
newdemo_record_player_weapon(LASER_INDEX)
if (Primary_weapon != LASER_INDEX) {
// skipped, path is false
}
else
{
if (wait_for_rearm) // true for this path
// Bad, plays every frame
digi_play_sample(SOUND_ALREADY_SELECTED);
}
// Pointless, Primary_weapon already is LASER_INDEX
Primary_weapon = LASER_INDEX;
if (weapon_name)
{
// skipped, path is false
}
```
Skipping the call avoids two pointless statements, one bad statement,
and nothing useful. Therefore, the simplest fix for the problem is to
call select_primary_weapon(LASER_INDEX) only if the primary weapon is
not currently LASER_INDEX.

It reads uninitialized values, so it was barely functional before

When presented with an overlong string, throw std::runtime_error instead
of corrupting memory. Either way, the result is a crash, but this crash
is safe, deterministic, and probably easier to debug.
The historical savegame format cannot support finding a mission in a
subdirectory. Add a backwards-incompatible modification to store the
full path in the savegame, and store it in a way that old versions will
fail gracefully.[1] When loading demos, or legacy savegames, search for
the mission in all available directories. Demos are still written with
an unqualified path because the demo loading code would crash if given
an oversized path. Mission names sent over the network as part of
multiplayer use the guess logic now, so that guests do not need to have
the mission in the same path as the host.

- In D2X, do not accept Descent2-specific directives from Descent 1
`.msn` files.
- Set the descent_version field correctly in the `mle`. Previously,
`.msn` was set to descent1 and all `.mn2` were set to descent2,
regardless of whether the `.mn2` used `name`, `xname`, `zname`, or
`!name`.
- Avoid rewinding the file and rereading the same line while checking
the possible name types.
- Avoid recomputing end-of-string when it is already known.
- Avoid re-reading the mission file's version when the mission is
chosen. Instead, use the version that was recorded when the mission
was loaded into the mission list. This also fixes a bug where Descent
1 `.msn` files would be classified as descent_version_type::descent2
since both use `name =`, but that string has a different meaning
depending on whether the file is `.msn` or `.mn2`.

TORRaven reported an issue where `Descent: First Strike` level 4 in
cooperative games would cause the player 0 ship to be unable to move.
On investigation, this occurs when the host has enabled extra player
starts, and the resulting synthesis of new player start positions moves
the player 0 start out of its origin segment. The physics engine reacts
poorly to this situation, causing the object to be unable to move and to
report HIT_BAD_P0 in debug builds. Add a test to cancel the
displacement if get_seg_masks reports that the center point would move
outside the origin segment. More clever logic might be appropriate, but
since this is the first report of problems with the feature since its
introduction in 5a64ee5132, this commit just eliminates the
immediate problem. Possible future improvements if the existing
displacement causes collisions:
- Reduce the magnitude of the existing displacement, instead of
abandoning it entirely.
- Move the player start to the segment's center before displacing it.
- Add logic to move the player into a nearby logically connected
segment.

AlumiuN reported a crash when a save game is unable to load the
underlying mission. The crash is because the game proceeds to load the
savegame onto whatever level was loaded before this mission, which will
usually result in fatal inconsistencies in the data.
This commit does not fix the cause of the inability to load the mission,
but instead fixes the logic so that the user gets a reasonable error
message advising that the mission failed to load. This was
unintentionally broken in db80a88ad2 when the sense of the return
value was inverted, and the fallthrough case was not adjusted. This
impacts all uses of `load_mission_by_name`, though in practice restoring
from a savegame is the most obvious way to hit the problem.

arch_close calls various library shutdown routines, some of which may

Extended identifiers have proved to cause more problems than they solve.
Switch to base32 which, while less commonly supported, is available in
Python and uses an alphabet that is almost a subset of the C identifier
alphabet. Padding characters are still a problem, but can be remapped
to a valid C identifier that is not a valid base32 character.
endlevel wants to freeze the console player's last in-mine position.
Instead of copying the position out and back, refactor the flow to let
endlevel skip the update of the position.
Only the console player's last position needs to be remembered across
frames. Copy the console player's position out before processsing
object movement. For all other objects, retain a temporary for use by
the position recovery code.
Special macros are used to pass information to
`generate-kconfig-udlr.py`. Provide default definitions for these
macros in `kconfig.ui-table.cpp`, and override them in the one build
where they need to be special. This enables `kconfig.ui-table.cpp` to
build cleanly when invoked from the command line in the compilation
database.
obj_rw is a packed structure, so configurations where reset_hitobj takes
its parameter by reference (or where its parameter requires passing
through a constructor that takes its input by reference) fail because
gcc refuses to bind a reference to a member of a packed structure. Copy
the member variable into a local, which gcc will bind.
In some configurations, gcc (but not clang) instantiate
valptridx<segment>::array_managed_type too eagerly, then fail if the
sizeof(segment) is unknown. Include segment.h so that the size is
available.

If object creation fails, the counter is not decreased. This creates an
imbalance by over counting the number of robots in existence. Avoid
this imbalance by deferring the counter update until after the robot is
created.
When a robot drops a robot, the dropped robot is not added to the
level's running accumulated_robots counter, but when the player destroys
that robot, the destruction will be counted. This imbalance allows the
expression counting the number of not-yet-destroyed robots to underflow,
which then confuses the matcen logic into not creating new robots.
Fix this by incrementing the accumulated_robots count as each dropped
robot is created.

Descent 2 has a hack, present as far back as I can trace, that
suppresses starting sounds during level load. The original reason was
not recorded, but this hack has the useful side effect that it avoids
using uninitialized data when set_sound_sources tries to use a Viewer
that has not been reset for the objects of the new level.
Descent 1 lacks this hack, so an invalid Viewer is used, which may
trigger a valptridx trap if the undefined data has an invalid segment
number, and could cause memory corruption in builds which do not
validate the segment index. The valptridx trap:
```

exit_segnum is set during load_endlevel_data, which currently runs too
early for this to depend on the exit used, and thus to be player-unique.
That data should be loaded at need, when the level ends, rather than
during level setup. This can be addressed later, when support for
multiple exits is improved.
transition_segnum is a function of how the player exited the mine, since
there could be multiple exit tunnels, although current code appears not
to handle that well in other places. Therefore, it needs to be
per-player data, not part of the level data, where it would not depend
on the player exiting.
This could be a shared variable instead, since it cannot be directly
influenced by gameplay. However, it is influenced by the game mode, and
keeping shared variables that are mode-specific would be more complexity
for very little savings.
