v0.7.0: hold to attack, skill cooldowns, monsters that walk around obstacles

Hold a button to keep attacking, skill cooldowns, monsters that walk around obstacles, and a round of fixes found by testing the whole game. On top of v0.6.0.

Controls

• Hold A, B, X or Y to keep using its skill or attack, like holding the mouse button in the original: once each animation ends it is used again, so you do not have to press the button over and over. Talking, picking up items or using portals is not repeated, and nothing repeats while a panel or a dialog is open.
• If the skill cannot be used yet (not enough mana, cooldown) it keeps trying quietly, without filling the screen with messages.

Skills

• The skills with a cooldown in the original now have it for every class (before, only the Warlock's): Blizzard, Meteor, Frozen Orb, Fire Wall, Fist of the Heavens, Volcano, Shadow Warrior, the Druid's shapeshifts and the rest. The button darkens until it is ready.

Monsters

• When a wall, a house or a column is in the way, monsters walk around it to reach you (like the original, which follows the wall when the straight path is blocked) instead of pushing against it.

Fixes

• NPC dialogs no longer start with a number in English, German, French, Italian, Polish and Spain Spanish.
• Texts that showed in Spanish in the other languages are translated: the death message (now Resurrected's own "You have died"), the Act 5 quest messages, Larzuk's and Anya's panels. Anya's personalized items are named as in the original outside Spanish.
• The name of the monster you attack no longer covers the area and quest messages, and goes away when you leave its area.
• No black square while a buff icon loads; the Echo of Hatred messages under its panel have a background and stay on screen.
• The network log shows the real reason when a game cannot be joined.

Tested

The five acts with the eight classes (one and two players), the Echo of Hatred, every class's skills, 120 damaged saved games, network games where a machine drops, and random buttons on every menu and panel, also with AddressSanitizer and UBSan drawing every frame. The Pi, Linux and Windows still compute exactly the same game, so they can keep playing together.

Install / update

Same as v0.6.0: download diablo2-port.zip (Pi and Linux) or diablo2-port-windows.zip (Windows) and replace the port. No new game files are needed and your saved games are kept. To play over the network, all machines need this same version.
