The previously YIQ-based algorithm turned out to be both slow,
and horribly inaccurate.
Another algorithm based on rotating the color value in the
RGB cube along the diagonal axis was also considered, which was
acceptable in terms of accuracy, and very fast.
In the end, I decided on a HSV-based one, because it is by far
the most accurate one, while still being a tad faster than the
YIQ solution.

A very simple GPU time benchmark when shifting a 2048^2 bitmap:
YIQ rot RGB rot HSV shift
radeon 13.4 ms 2.8 ms 11.4 ms
intel 13.0 ms 6.0 ms 10.5 ms
radeon: HD 3650 mobility
intel: N3540 integrated (Baytrail)
However hue shifting has never shown up as a bottleneck before,
so these are more academic.
The interpreter needs to +1 to the index before saving or else
quit_game_bed will have the game stuck in an infinite loop of quitting
the game when reloading, but we need to -1 immediately after because
otherwise the interpreter will skip a command after this is called.
The game would try to catch up in frames when a window prompt was
opened, so if the window was open for 140 frames the game would process
the next 140 frames instantly after the game was closed. To fix this, I
have the window prompt time how long it's opened and then I tell the
game to sleep for however many frames it was opened for.
Credits message works but does not yet have all the desired features,
will finish up later.
With these changes the game technically never "allows" you to quit, and
instead the input is handled by Scene_Map. This lets us run an event
before they quit.
In the barrens during the prophet bot scene, the game was comparing the
entered name to Oneshot::USER_NAME. But this was incorrect, as the name
could be either the steam name or the pc username and the name has some
preprocessing done to it. With this new script function, we can compare
the name correctly
-If niko's character graphic is one of the gasmask graphics, change all
his facepics to the gasmask facepic
-User can now prompt text to show instantly by pressing action or cancel
while text is scrolling
This lets the user fadein bgm after using a normal "play bgm" command in
the event editor. Just simply call "Script.fadein_bgm(target, speed)"
with the target being the target vol % that you want the fade in to
eventually reach and the speed being how fast you want it to reach it (1
- slowest, 100-instant)
This was causing footsteps tiles in the barrens to allow the player to
interact with objects an extra tile in front of them, which was causing
issues (ex: letting players talk to doors through walls)
With this, autoloading upon launching the game should be fully working.
Also added some randomness to the pitch of step_sfx to make them sound a
bit less repetitive, and made it so the game can only save if the
current scene is a Scene_Map (because auto_saving at the titlescreen
breaks things pretty badly).
This adds 2 new things to the vanilla text box. "\>" will now make the
script wait for user input before continuing to display text.
"\@facepic_name" will change the face graphic to facepic_name without
needing to reopen the message window.
