Star Wars Dark Forces source port The Force Engine gets upgraded

Another fresh release went out recently for The Force Engine, a rebuilt game engine to play STAR WARS - Dark Forces and eventually Outlaws nicely on modern systems.

This is not a remaster though, like many open source game engine reimplementations it's to try and keep the original feel but just make it better for modern gaming. Some of the existing improvements include a mod loader, high resolution support, a GPU renderer and various additional quality of life improvements.

A first release went out in December 2022, with this latest being a bunch of bug fixes to clean it up before the planned big 2.0 release.

Here's all that's changed:

• Fixed a bug when there are too many entries in Jedi.lvl.
• Fixed a bug with display bounds when selecting the correct display.
• Fixed a crash if the HUD pieces do not load.
• Added a confirmation for loading a game from the Load Menu.
• Added mod filtering for the Mod Loader, to make finding mods easier.
• Mods are now alphabetically sorted (once the list loading is complete).
• Fixed issues with the "No Game Data" message being incorrectly displayed.
• Separates out errors because files aren't found, versus files are invalid.
• Fixed a memory overwrite bug in Dark Tide 4, level 3 - due to having too few "texture vertices" set.
• Fix Vue Logic sprite yaw to match vanilla.
• Hopefully fixed Steam path detection when the game is installed on a different drive than Steam itself or the ACF files cannot be found.
• IMuse: clamp priority parameter to 127 (Manuel Lauss).
• Linux: improve crash handler (Manuel Lauss).
