[WIP] Import Changes from Mapbase

[halotroop2288]

Not exactly a "merge" because I would have liked to preserve commit history, but I (will) have imported all the changes at once since that is likely impossible.

This is a heavy work in progress. When it's done, it should allow Mapbase mods to be more easily ported to this engine.

Differences from Mapbase:

• Duplicated fixes and additions ignored (easily noticed when doing this by hand)
• Squirrel is a submodule of the official Git repo (reduces manual work)
• Any newly added preprocessor block has a commented endif to help keep track in less featured editors
• Ignored memoverride.cpp changes for fear of fucking it up

TO-DO:

• Import all the code changes 320/1417 files addressed
• Finish writing up wscripts
• Working Waf Squirrel support for VScript
• Fix build errors and solve other issues
• Address contributor concerns

I highly recommend turning on the "ignore whitespace changes" setting while reviewing. VS Code auto-formatted trailing whitespace out of any modified file.

Well that's may be useful for sdk, not for engine

I have good script-helpers for doing task like that

What's the big difference? SDK is just supposed to be a subset of engine anyway, right? (Serious question. I'm not that familiar.)

Would you still be interested in the minor bug fixes and optimizations Mapbase added (basically anything outside a preprocessor block)?

I am not interesting in that for hl2 and master branch, because it have fixes from me and easily may break something.
But I am interesting in mapbase in separate branch for mods that's using mapbase like entropy zero 2

Let's cross that bridge when we come to it. I'll check for bugs in the process of getting it merged, if you'll allow me.

Oh gotcha. I can re-target this PR to a different upstream branch if you want.
Also, could you tell me more about those helper scripts?

@halotroop2288 is this work of porting mapbase to nillerusr's source engine still active? or it is cancelled?

Suspended for now, real life is in the way.

[IAhmadGT]

still waiting :D

[halotroop2288]

I'm not working on this anymore, I'm leaving it up so others can continue where I left off though.

We're getting shut down. Godspeed. o7
