This is a major change, which allows us to read room texts directly
from RDF files in a deterministic way. The previous attempt to read
texts on the fly failed with some texts at runtime, which made it
unreliable. Additionally, the scope of all room text IDs has been
reduced to each room.
With this change, it's now possible to support text in CD and floppy
versions and support multiple game languages, without hardcoding all
of the game texts in the engine source.
This is 50% done (29 out of 55 rooms), with the following left to be
done:
- MUDD mission rooms (need to improve the text reader for these)
- TRIAL mission rooms (need to improve the text reader for these)
- SINS mission rooms (need to improve the text reader for these)
- The rest of VENG mission rooms
The DEMON, TUG, LOVE, FEATHER and part of the VENG mission rooms have
been converted.
