The fix (adding adjustment of fRenderInfo.fDestPtr) made kRenderJustXForceLeft behave as intended (left-aligning the edge of the bitmap rather than the side bearing of the first character) but cuts off shadows in some places (e.g. at the left edges of "BUDDIES" and "NEIGHBORS" in the mini KI). To ensure enough space for the shadow, and considering that all content was developed and visually optimized with the bug in place, it seems better to preserve the buggy behavior and make kRenderJustXForceLeft work exactly like kRenderJustXLeft.
Intended to make KI text (player list and chat) better readable on light and patterned backgrounds. In this WIP, all text on GUI controls is rendered shadowed.
This fixes the irregular dark fringes around light text when not exactly pixel-aligned that are caused by independent interpolation of color and alpha. It also makes calculations simpler for things to come.
In addition to being a prerequisite for shadowed text, this also fixes an issue sometimes seen at the bottom of the mini KI player list where characters with a descender were missing.
fix plVault LogMsg calls + remove useless wide char usage
fix usage of plAvatarMgr::FindAvatar() and plLinkEffectsTriggerMsg::SetLinkKey() with temporary variables
plNetServerSessionInfo.h need std::string
fix plProgressMgr.h: NumLoadingFrames() have an useless class context information
fix plSocket usage of non-standard NULL
This reduces the amount of redundant #includes in the plMessage headers.
Still need to check over the actual source files and do some work to
remove pnUtils (ugh) from one message.
