[Alephmodular-devel] Preserving/Restoring editor hooks?

[Br'fin <br...@ma...>]

Recently I've been reworking the mechanisms that game_wad.cpp uses to  
load/save files. It has definitely needed work to improve  
serialization of saved data .

But in the process I've been hacking apart the functions that used to  
serve as a way for the editor to load a map into the in-application  
viewer. These functions were already corrupted by the hosting of  
serialization information.

 From what I can determine, the original editor sat as generally  
separate code and had it's own internal version of process_map_wad().  
Where that function in game_wad.cpp handles loading a map from file  
to memory. The editor's version would already be working with an in  
memory copy.

This leads me to wonder if I should back out a number of my recent  
(uncommitted) changes. Rework process_map_wad to translate things  
into temporary memory and call things like load_point and load_sides  
with their original arguments, already translated.

I'm strongly inclined to do this as removing the editor functions  
gets hairier later since aspects here in game_wad are some of the  
only ones that guide and can manage things like recalculating  
redundant map information.
