Make the utility methods statics within the implementation so it could be used by other structs/classes of the VPK builder as well, these utility functions weren't useful outside the class. This also allowed for the removal of the singleton which had no purpose whatsoever.
Should read element count of bytes instead of element count of file size, else this always returns 1 instead of the actual number of bytes read/written.
CCommandLine isn't implemented in tools, thus unresolved external symbol errors will be thrown. HushAsserts() was unused and therefore removed which fixes these errors.
Standalone VPK tool that does everything the VPK tool implemented in the dedicated server does (pack, unpack), but independent from the game's runtime.
Standalone FileSystem implementation, allowing SDK code to be used in tools without adjusting them as the vtables remain identical. NOTE that this reimplementation is partial and only contains the reading and writing of files to/from buffers or disk as that's what we are mainly interested at. We can always implement the other methods when needed.
NOTE: the filesystem singleton accessor (CFileSystem_Stdio* FileSystem()) has been moved to an implementation file instead of being inline as this would allow existing code to link to the tools implementation instead.
The KeyValues class belongs here. Also reimplemented most loading methods for KeyValues, and adjusted the VPK building code to account for it. Pointers to the engine's implementation of KeyValues have been moved to a separate header ('keyvalues_iface.h'), as this allows external tools code to utilize the standalone KeyValues class implementation. Playlist utilities are completely separated from the KeyValues header; these have nothing to do with KeyValues other than manipulating a global KeyValues object for the playlists, and thus have been named as such and moved to rtech/playlists.
Class is slightly modified; it uses 2 CBlob pointers instead of a single CBlob member. CUtlMemoryPool::m_pHeadOfFreeList is also replaced with the new CUtlMemoryPool::m_pPrev pointer. Code has been modified to accommodate this change and aligns with the assembly code of r5.
This is a more reliable solution as pretty much all code patch in CMDLCache checks the ptr for NULL, but none of them do for 0xDEADFEEDDEADFEED (probably a debug only thing that somehow made it into this build). Patched out so the engine could deal with it properly. Anything interesting already gets logged from the SDK so we won't miss out on anything patching this out.
Add a proper class for dealing with fallback models and the warnings thereof. Also reverted the 'old_gather_props' removal, as otherwise fallback models won't draw (new gather props solution doesn't call CMDLCache::GetHardwareData()).
Rebuild 'CMDLCache::GetPhysicsGeometry()' and properly handle missing cache pointers. Also cleaned up various methods in CMDLCache and renamed 'studiophysicscache_t' to 'studiophysicsref_t'. The changes made the 'old_gather_props' convar hack redundant and has thus been removed.
