Smacker video carries its audio as PCM that the video decoder produces
itself, so there is no file for the sound module to open. Add
SoundPlayFromBuffer(), which streams from a caller-owned memory buffer.
It deliberately does not go through the sample cache: a full length intro
video decodes to close to 20 MB of PCM, which does not fit in the cache's
memory budget and would evict everything else on the way to failing. The
channel bookkeeping already has a notion of a stream with no cache slot
behind it (uiSample == -1), which is what streamed files use, so the buffer
simply stays the caller's property for as long as the sound plays.
To share the parameter handling, everything SoundStartStream() did after
opening the stream moves unchanged into SoundStartOpenedStream().
No caller yet.

to avoid having to ship a whole ja2.ini for languages that
currently don't
command-line /language:german still works, but INI file is
prioritized
format:
```
[Language]
LANGUAGE = ITALIAN
```
squashed into a single commit because doing it in steps that all
compiled involved a lot of boilerplate that is pointless to commit to
the repository. GH still has the PR for reference.
g_lang, MAX_MESSAGES_ON_MAP_BOTTOM, and GetLanguagePrefix() were
compile-time constants selected by the ENGLISH/GERMAN/... build
define. They're now runtime, defaulting to the same per-exe value the
define used to pick, and overridable at startup from [Ja2 Settings]
LANGUAGE in Ja2.ini.
-
XMLTacticalMessages is filled at runtime from NewTacticalMessages.xml,
never from compiled-in per-language data: all 8 per-language definitions
were the identical all-zero { L"" }. Delete them and define one shared
buffer in Utils/XML_Language.cpp (the loader) instead of pointer-rebinding
it like the static tables — this drops 9 dead 800KB zero-buffers (8
namespaced copies in LanguageStrings.cpp plus the standalone one) and
leaves no bind-ordering hazard for the XML load path.
-
ExportStrings.cpp privately recompiled one language's full text table
by #including the raw _<LANG>Text.cpp inside namespace Loc, keyed off
the exe-level ENGLISH/GERMAN/... compile macro (whichever the build
happened to select). That's redundant with the pointer globals every
other subsystem already uses (Text.h / LanguageStrings.cpp).
Drop the private copy; the unqualified table names in Loc::ExportStrings
now resolve to the global pointer externs, which BindLanguageStrings has
already rebound to the runtime g_lang by the time this runs (EXPORT_STRINGS
ini flag, checked after GetRuntimeSettings in sgp.cpp). gs_Lang (used only
by Loc::Translate for the Polish/Russian byte remap on raw .edt exports) is
now derived from g_lang via ToLocLanguage, so the export always matches
whatever language is actually active instead of a compile-time pick.
-
Editor/popupmenu.cpp and Strategic/Scheduling.cpp kept their own
call-site extern of gszScheduleActions as CHAR16[NUM_SCHEDULE_ACTIONS][20]
after the real definition changed into a rebindable pointer
(CHAR16 (*)[20], LanguageStrings.cpp). MSVC decays the outer array
dimension when mangling globals, so both declarations produce the same
symbol (?gszScheduleActions@@3PAY0BE@_WA) and the mismatch linked
silently -- but the array-typed TUs then indexed the 4-byte pointer
slot itself as string data, so the editor schedule popup and the map
schedule message text read garbage.
-
add text.def to be single-source of truth on symbol names and use it
.much simpler, less error prone if adding more strings
-
add pseudo interface for language state. MAX_SAGES_ON_BOTTOM must always
change in lockstep with g_lang. this isn't foolproof but better

the Ja2.rc file needs to be in the add_executable target for the icon
to appear, and that one requires WinMain.
so get rid of dummy.cpp and put sgp/sgp.cpp in there
This one is big, but unless I missed something, should be all be
trivial.
scripted-diff with the following, then manually tweaked whatever needed:
```
if [ $# -ne 3 ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 '<pattern>' '<replacement>' '<filename>'"
exit 1
fi
pattern="$1"
replacement="$2"
filename="$3"
if [ ! -f "$filename" ]; then
echo "Error: File $filename does not exist."
exit 1
fi
sed -i '/'"$pattern"'/ {
:loop
$ !{
N
/'"$pattern"'.*\n.*#endif/ {
s/'"$pattern"'/'"$replacement"'/
s/#else/} else {/
s/#endif/}/
P
D
}
/'"$pattern"'/ b loop
}
}' "$filename"
echo "Replacement complete in $filename"
```
h/t to Grok2 for the sed command
.editorconfig already enforces it but it's getting changed piecemeal in
every commit. just get it done with.
the script:
```
find . -type f -not -path "./.git/*" -not -path "./.vs/*" | while read -r file; do
isFile=$(file -0 "$file" | cut -d $'\0' -f2)
case "$isFile" in
(*text*)
echo "$file is text"
if [[ $(tail -c 1 "$file" | wc -l) -ne 1 ]]; then
echo "" >> "$file"
fi
;;
(*)
echo "file isn't text"
;;
esac
done
```
Additional music can be added by placing sound files into Dataa/Music folder following this naming convention
musicmode_runningNumber.fileformat, so for example:
Mainmenu_001.mp3
Mainmenu_002.ogg
Laptop_002.ogg
Tactical_003.wav
*****************************************************************
Different musicmodes are
Mainmenu_ <-- Mainmenu music
Laptop_ <-- Laptop music
Tactical_ <-- Tactical with nothing special going on
Enemy_ <-- Tactical, enemy present
Battle_ <-- Tactical, enemy present and visible
Victory_ <-- Tactical, battle victory
Death_ <-- Tactical, battle defeat
Creepy_ <-- Tactical, creatures present
CreepyBattle_ <-- Tactical, creatures present and visible
Music files can be .mp3, .ogg or .wav formats and 100 songs in each category is supported.
The running numbering starts from 000
*****************************************************************
A few filenames are treated in a special way to facilitate easy replacement of original music.
To replace original music, insert the following named files into this folder
"menumix1" <-- Mainmenu music
"marimbad 2" <-- Laptop music
"nothing A" <-- Tactical with nothing special going on
"nothing B"
"nothing C"
"nothing D"
"tensor A" <-- Tactical, enemy present
"tensor B"
"tensor C"
"triumph"
"death"
"battle A" <-- Tactical, enemy present and visible
"tensor B" <-- This file is also used as battle music
"creepy" <-- Tactical, creatures present
"creature battle" <-- Tactical, creatures present and visible
