Reintroduce a fun hack
Yeah, looks like PhysX 2.6.4 has a bug with spawning stuff inside of
regions. So, let's bring back the hack that spawns the avatar at -2000
feet. The link-in process will set the correct position on the controller
and fire the appropriate detectors.

Fix crazy camera stack issues
Turns out, it was an artifact of us suspending the simulation during links
and partly because of Cyan's late adding of the avatar controller to the
sim. Now, we add the avatar as soon as the age data is loaded. This causes
the camera stack to be populated with whatever garbage PhysX decides on,
then xJourneyClothsGen2 is free to set the real stack after we get all the
SDL from the server.
Verified to fix Teledahn oddness and not display a regression in Kemo.

Fix an obvious memory leak.
This thing was pissing me off, which made me piss off a lot of other people,
which pissed off even more people, so the entire planet got pissed off and
nuclear warfare began. So, let's not do stupid crap and piss me off, okay?

More panic link fixes
Now, we check the armature mod to see if we're REALLY linked in (the screen
is not black). That way, we can be sure all delayed transforms and false
hits (like how we initially spawn into the AhnySphere04 panic region) don't
panic link us.
PhysX requires all of its actors to have cooked mesh data. This cooked
data is unfortunately not compatible with other versions of PhysX outside
of the minor branch. The format is also largely unknown. Therefore, it is
relevant to allow CWE prps to include an engine agnostic physical format
to reduce our dependencies on proprietary libraries.
All PhysX blobs thankfully begin with the magic string NXS\x01, so we now
abuse that by adding our own format that begins with the magic string
HSP\x01. These blobs are cooked on the fly while already cooked blobs are
passed directly on to PhysX.

and reenable as much USE_BINK_SDK stuff as empirically needed to get the Yeesha intro movie cave to disappear on its own, as before merging Cyan's Build 918.
Not the cleanest way, but I'm trying to minimize effort spent on this until we can get the proper solution, VP9 video support, from https://github.com/H-uru/Plasma/pull/458 .
In this case it now also works for non-owners of the age. Previously it only worked for owners because the ageInfoStruct does not contain the vault node ID, so it needed to be looked up somewhere, and that was in the AgesIOwnFolder.
Also, the text of the faded-out player list is re-rendered with alpha == 0 every time the mouse enters its area, do a little less needless work in that case.
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.
MarkD: My thought was for the long term was to put most of the differences in the project and solution configurations, so there would be less differences in the sources. EAX is a good example - I put the #define for EAX_SDK_AVAILABLE in the projects that used it with the thinking that the fans would create new projects that would not have EAX_SDK_AVAILABLE and would create and use a different configuration in the AllClient solution. Cyan would use the "Release" config and the fans use something like "Release-ou" to build with. But maybe there are just too many differences.
MarkD: We felt that the fan de-BINKing did not go far enough.
CW: I suspect (haven't tested yet) that it's the cause of the bug that we see on MOULa but did not on Minkata where the rotating wall behind the missing Yeesha intro video stays indefinitely, with no obvious way out for the player, until it occurs to them to use the ESC key
MarkD: Ah. I think you are right. An oversight that can be easily corrected - maybe in the python code so that Ian can see the rotating wall for a few seconds and then auto continue on.
In particular, the intro movie now exits immediately again rather than staying indefinitely.
The important difference is to send the completion callback in plBinkPlayer::NextFrame(), i.e. act as if we had reached the end of the movie.
Storing the filename is to keep plClient::IHandleMovieMsg() from deleting and recreating the plBinkPlayer on every message.
The changed return values are just to better match the previous behavior and probably don?t matter.
To better handle erroneous trigger events under the new timing method, use the number
of times the simulation has actually advanced instead of the number of evals received.
Cleaned up a bit.
Provides more accurate interaction with detectors when the avatar is moving up or down.
Also decreases the severity of the PhysX trigger hull bug in some detectors.
This change doesn't affect world collisions.
While based heavily on the old implementation, this is essentially a rewrite.
Notable changes -
Controllers are now updated at the same fixed frequency as the simulation.
Resulting output is interpolated between steps to precisely match the frame delta.
Physics work is only done when enough time has passed to perform a step.
The kinematic actor that followed around the controller has been removed.
The underlying kinematic actor created by the NxController is now used for triggering.
A new sim group was added for a kinematically controlled avatar.
2 unused files removed -
plPXPhysicalController.h & plPXPhysicalController.cpp
plMovementStrategy classes have been reworked and completely replace all plAvatarControllers.
While based on the old implementation, plPhysicalControllerCore has essentially been rewritten.
Remnants of long gone physical "actions" have been removed.
4 files removed -
plAVCallbackAction.h & plAVCallbackAction.cpp
plAntiGravAction.h & plAntiGravAction.cpp
This revision will not compile, requires new plPXPhysicalControllerCore implementation.
The meat comes from the following H-uru/Plasma commits by Branan and Zrax, but I?m not going to replicate that spaghetti history here:

STL fixes needed to link from StartUp to Personal
(e.g. the linking book loading animation). Nobody ever noticed because the debug build was completely broken in MSVC7, and H-uru/Plasma does it completely differently.
