A new hotkey "hotkey.camera.togglebirdseyeview" allows to switch
between regular view and bird's eye (top-down) view.
When bird's eye view gets toggled on, the camera moves above the scene;
When bird's eye view gets toggled off, the camera moves back to the
default vertical rotation angle;
When bird's eye view is on, vertical rotation is disallowed.
Previously, the engine only loaded the last mod’s `config/mod.cfg` file,
causing earlier mods' configuration settings to be ignored. This broke
the expectation of stackable mod behavior and affected features relying
on custom config, such as font overrides.
This commit updates the mod mounting and configuration process to:
- Mount each mod's files before attempting to load its config.
- Reload each mod's `config/modname.cfg` via `g_ConfigDB.Reload(CFG_MOD)`
after mounting.
- Merge configuration keys into the CFG_MOD namespace:
- If a key exists, its value is updated.
- If not, the key is added.
This behavior now aligns with the VFS override system, where later mods
take precedence but earlier mods still contribute.
Also adds `_test.mods` for validation.
Fixes edge cases for mod authors who rely on consistent and layered
configuration overrides.

Previously the number of graph colors was limited, which resulted in the
reuse of colors if many different profiling regions or reports were
displayed. This commit changes so unique colors are generated for
each region/graph, by utilizing the beauty of the golden ratio.

To improve visual consistency during dynamic font rendering, especially
on lower-end machines or during low FPS moments, we now preload a set of
common Latin letters, digits, and punctuation glyphs immediately after a
font is loaded by the FontManager.
This reduces the likelihood of users seeing empty or missing characters
on the first frame after a font is used, minimizing visual glitches
during simulation.
The preloaded characters include:
- Uppercase and lowercase Latin letters (A–Z, a–z)
- Digits (0–9)
- Common punctuation and symbols (e.g., .,;:!?()[]{}<> etc.)
This change helps smooth the user experience and avoids blank spaces
during the initial rendering of text in performance-constrained
scenarios.
This removes the padding from the start and the end of the frequency
graphs, to remove the inaccurate steps it caused.
It also improves the smoothness of the frequency and frame-to-frame
graphs by painting each graph as a single line, instead of one line per
data point.
Because its a function `GenerateMap` is renamed to `generateMap`.
Allows to rewrite the libraries as modules and to remove the costum
`Engine.LoadLibrary` mechanism in the future.
Previously, `height` was derived from a manually chosen glyph (typically
"I", Standard Cap Height) using FontBuilder, and `lineSpacing` was used
inconsistently for layout logic as a height.
Now, with the FreeType-based system:
- `height` uses `face->size->metrics.height`, which includes the
recommended line height with internal leading/line gap as defined by
the font designer.
- `lineSpacing` was removed
- `GetCapHeight` uses the standard cap height + ascender to have a
visual virtual alignment
This change standardizes font metric usage:
- Use `height` for vertical layout and line progression.
- Use `GetCapheight` in layout engines like `CGUIText` or `CGUIString`,
This ensures better alignment across fonts and consistent spacing in
multiline text rendering.

Optionally let actor templates define their own anchor types.
These override the default value defined in the template.
Useful for actors without their own entity template.

Not all modules should be able to load all other modules. A predicate
function can to be passed to the `ScriptInterface`. That function
returns whether the module is allowed to loat the module. If no
predicate is passed in no modules can be loaded through that
`ScriptInterface`.
- With modules JavaScript code can be split up into multiple files. We
already implemented such a mechanism (`Engine.LoadLibrary`) in
multiple parts of the engine. The advantage of using modules is
that it's standart (JS-devs are familiar with it) and it doesn't
has to be implemented multiple times.
Note that `Engine.LoadLibrary` loads all files in a directory
while the new `import` only loads one file.
- With modules seemingly global variables are local to that
script/module. We already implemented such a mechanism
(`ScriptInterface::LoadScript`).
Requires HEAD to point to --to <commitish> for the files to be in the
state for copyright.py to produce expected results. Which isn't the case
in the gitea workflow.
Also use plumbing commands to on one hand make it more robust and on the
other hand to avoid bad files only in --from <commitish> to leak into
the check.

This commit primarily corrects an inaccurate comment and resolves a
hidden bug in the VisualActor shadow logic, while preserving the current
behavior.
Previously, the DisableShadows option removed both casting and receiving
shadows. However, the internal logic ignored this setting in some cases,
causing shadows to appear even when explicitly disabled in XML
templates.
This change introduces the ability to control CastShadows and
ReceiveShadows independently via template settings, defaulting both to
true unless explicitly specified.
In addition, previews are updated to receive shadows but not cast them,
improving visual volume effects without affecting lighting behavior.
The FreeType font loader was directly passing filesystem-style paths
(e.g., mod.zip/...) to FT_New_Face, which does not support paths inside
ZIP archives. As a result, FreeType failed to open the font, triggering
a crash when the engine attempted to use an invalid face object.
This patch changes the font loading logic to:
Use the VFS to read the .ttf font file into memory (shared_ptr<u8> and
size).
Load the font using FT_New_Memory_Face with the in-memory buffer,
ensuring compatibility with zipped mods.
Previously, opening a map that referenced a deleted or missing terrain
caused a severe crash with multiple error dialogs, forcing users to kill
the process. This change restores the previous behavior where missing
terrains are gracefully handled: a warning is logged and the terrain is
substituted with a fallback placeholder (ErrorTexture from
TextureManager).
This significantly improves UX for developers and modders working with
outdated or broken maps, aligning behavior with expectations from
earlier versions of the editor.

Variables declared with `var` are also accible after accessing the
scope. This lead to shadowing because variables with the same name are
declared in a later scope.
Ref: #7812
Since variables declared with `var` don't respect all scopes, when used
in a loop it doesn't create a new variable each iteration. The
initializer value is always assigned to the same variable. That makes
problems when the variable is used in a callback. To work around that
the variable is copied in to a IIFE.
When not using `var` the iife isn't required.

This commit introduces optional debugging visuals for font glyph
rendering. When enabled, each glyph is drawn with a surrounding debug
box to aid in visual inspection of glyph layout, spacing, and atlas
behavior.
Usage examples (via console):
// Enable debug box rendering
Engine.ConfigDB_CreateValue("user","fonts.debugBox", true);
// Set debug box color (R G B)
Engine.ConfigDB_CreateValue("user","fonts.debugBoxColor", "35 0 35");
This feature is intended for developers working on font layout or atlas
generation logic, and has no effect on normal gameplay or UI rendering
when disabled.
This removes all global code and fixes eslint warnings 'no-shadow' and
'no-undef-init'. Leave other possible improvement style wise for an
other time.

As noted on #7979, we run into OOMs since commit af32d386b9. The reason is that the default incremental GC budget is unlimited, which actually doesn't perform incremental GCs. Our settings can lead to situation where the incremental GCs don't actually sweep, thus not freeing memory.
SM has a mechanism to avoid OOM anyways with LAST_DITCH GCs, but by default these can only occur ever 30 seconds. Turn this off.
