Files from before chunks now read their sounds and particles after the
objects, and chunked files their particle chunk:
- sounds (SceneLoader::LoadSounds, version 5 on, only before chunks):
position and config (before 35 a 260 character name, kept as
soundName);
- particles (SceneLoader::LoadParticles, version 5 on): priority (43
on), position, rotation, effect names and config (46 on; before, an
unused u16); the client stops at one with no effect, and before 44 a
file may end before them.
Every scene file of every client on disk reads each part to the next
part's start (up to the client's 16 byte padding): 5408 referenced by
zone files and 5125 on disk, versions 31-43 before chunks and 44-49
chunked. One client file, a LUP world, ends before its sounds; its
objects are kept.

The world read only a scene's objects and skipped the rest with
file.ignore. Level now reads a .lvl the way SceneLoader::LoadLvlFile
does (1.10.64) and keeps what it reads.
Chunked files: the file info chunk gives where the environment, object
and particle chunks start (the chunks were walked in order before); the
environment chunk gives where the lighting, skydome and editor settings
start, and the client reads all three only when there is lighting.
Files from before chunks: the no-editor-settings byte only from version
32, the revision from 37, a file newer than 48 is not read, a file
older than 3 has no objects; then lighting, skydome, editor settings
and objects in turn.
Kept, by version:
- lighting: blend time (45 on, default 10), ambient, specular, upper
hemisphere, position, min and max draw distances (31 on; before 39
fog near and far only), cull settings (40 on), fog colour (31 on),
directional colour (36 on), and before 42 the zone's spawn point
(before 33 the fixed one the client uses);
- the skydome and its five other files (34 on; they were skipped from
33);
- the editor's colours (37 on, the first 32);
- each object's node type (38 on), glom ID (32 on) and render
techniques (7 on: a 64 byte name, then per technique a 64 byte name,
u32, u8 and 16 floats); before, a count of techniques was read and
the techniques themselves were not, so an object with any misread
the rest of the file.
Object config is split at line breaks as before. A file that ends early
keeps the objects read before its end.

LDF_FROM_STRING (1.10.64, 0x010fa220) splits an object's config at
every comma and line break, leaves out empty entries and entries with
no '=', and sets each key=value it finds. The reader split at line
breaks only and parsed every piece, so an object with no config got an
empty entry of unknown type, and a value with a comma would have stayed
whole.
Live scene files are unchanged; objects in older client files with an
empty config no longer get the empty entry.
Check in game: every world spawns its objects as before.

ReadLvlObjectData (1.10.64, 0x0103ba20) changes an object's config as it
loads it:
- before version 47 a respawn time is in milliseconds: a float over 100
or any u32 becomes that many seconds, as a float;
- a model spawner (LOT 176 with spawntemplate 14) gets its subkey as its
blueprintid unless it has one, DisableModelBehaviors true unless set,
and preventRenderWrapping true;
- before version 44 an object with sceneIDOverrideEnabled gets
sceneLayerIDOverride 0.
LevelFile now makes the same changes. On live worlds 1906 spawners in
114 scene files of versions 45-46 have a u32 respawn time; the world
already divided those by 1000 but as an integer, so they now keep their
fraction (a 2500 ms respawn is 2.5 s, not 2 s). No live scene has a
model spawner; 62 objects of version 43 scenes get sceneLayerIDOverride.
Check in game: enemies and smashables respawn after the same time as
before on Forbidden Valley, Avant Gardens and Gnarled Forest.

SceneLoader::ReadLvlFile (1.10.64):
- chunked files: the file info chunk starts the file and gives where
the environment, object and particle chunks start, 0 for none
(DoLvlChunk, ReadLvlChunk1000); the reader walked the chunks one after
another by their sizes instead;
- older files: the editor settings are a u32 size and that many bytes
(SceneLoader::ReadEditorSettings, skipped by size); the reader took
them for a u32 and then a count of 12 byte points;
- older files before version 3 have no objects for the client ("Level
file is unsupported").
LevelFile now does the same. Every scene file on disk reads the same
objects as before.
Check in game: every world spawns its objects as before.

ReadLvlObjectData (1.10.64, 0x0103ba20) reads a scene object's last
field, from version 7 on, as a render technique count, and when it is
not 0 a 64 byte block and 133 bytes per technique (a 64 byte name, a
u32, a u8 and 16 floats) follow. The reader took the count for an
unknown u32 and read the next object from inside the techniques, and
read the u32 for every version. It also left the node type and glom ID
uninitialized when a file has none (or, for the node type, one outside
0-10); the client uses 1 for both.
The count is now SceneObject::renderTechniqueCount, the techniques are
skipped, and the defaults are the client's. Every scene file on disk
has no render techniques, so what they read is unchanged.

Two fields of the scene files from before chunks were read for versions
the client does not read them for (SceneLoader::ReadLvlFile, 1.10.64):
- the "important" byte after the version and type is there only from
version 32 (SceneLoader::ReadLvlHeader, 0x010117d0: headerVersion < 32 sets it to 0);
- the five strings after the skydome's file are there only from version
34 (SceneLoader::ReadSkydomeInfo, 0x0102f550: headerVersion > 33); the reader took
them from version 33.
Seven scenes of the alpha leak (versions 31 and 33: Gnarled_assetsMIKET,
dennis_gnarled_forest_02/_03-ninja/_03-pirate_0, scale_TEST_2,
scale_test_2_0, scale_test_general) now read with all their objects.
Every other scene file on disk reads the same objects as before.
