Moves PC-specific entity and debug menu things to `entity-debug.gc` and `default-menu-pc.gc` respectively and makes `(declare-file (debug))` work as it should (no need to wrap the entire file in `(when *debug-segment*` now!). Also changes the DGO descriptor format so that it's less verbose. It might break custom levels, but the format change is very simple so it should not be difficult for anyone to update to the new format. Sadly, you lose the completely useless ability to use DGO object names that don't match the source file name. The horror! I've also gone ahead and expanded the force envmap option to also force the ripple effect to be active. I did not notice any performance or visual drawbacks from this. Gets rid of some distracting LOD and some water pools appearing super flat (and pitch back for dark eco). Fixes #1424 |

Custom Levels
Disclaimer: custom levels are still in development and are missing most features.
The first three steps are already done for "test zone", so this can be used as a starting point.
1: File Setup
To create a custom level, copy the layout of custom_levels/test-zone. See test-zone.jsonc for information on how to name things. The .gd file also contains the level name.
2: Modify the engine
Modify goal_src/engine/level/level-info.gc to add level info for each custom level. There is level info for test-zone at the bottom that can be used as an example.
3: Modify the build system
Modify goal_src/game.gp and add a custom level target:
(build-custom-level "test-zone")
;; the DGO file
(custom-level-cgo "TESTZONE.DGO" "test-zone/testzone.gd")
4: Export the GLTF file from blender.
For now, all meshes are displayed and treated as ground collision. This causes buggy collision because walls shouldn't use "floor" mode.
Blender will create a .glb file, which must have the name specified in the .jsonc file and should be located in custom_level/your_level
5: Rebuild the game
Any time the .glb file is changed, you must rebuild the game. Launch the compiler (goalc) and run (mi) to rebuild everything. It's recommended to leave the compiler open - it will remember files that haven't changed and skip rebuilding them.
6: Go to the custom level
Start the game in debug mode gk.
In the compiler window, run (lt) to connect to the game. You must run this again every time you restart the game. If this doesn't work, there could be a firewall issue and you must allow goalc/gk to use the network. They don't make any outside connections.
In the compiler window, run a command like (bg-custom 'test-zone-vis) to load and start at a custom level.
