v0.7.1: quest effects like the original, item comparison and visible sockets

Quest effects like the original, comparing items with what you wear, visible sockets, and fixes. On top of v0.7.0.

Quest effects

• The Cairn Stones: after the fifth stone the scene darkens, lightning runs along the ground between the stones drawing a pentagram, and big bolts strike all around; the red portal to Tristram opens 6.4 seconds in, with the timings of the original (cairnstones), and the light comes back at the end.
• Blood Raven's death: the bolts fly out from her body and strike all over the graveyard, not only on her.
• Den of Evil: when it is cleared, beams of light come down from the ceiling while the cave lights up.

Inventory

• Compare with what you wear (as in Diablo IV): with the cursor on an item that goes where you already wear something, its description shows next to the equipped one, tagged EQUIPPED, with how much damage, defense and block go up (green) or down (red). X swaps them: the item you take off lands in the same spot of the backpack, under the cursor, so X again swaps back.
• Sockets: with the cursor on a socketed item you see its sockets and what is in them, at the positions of the original. To socket: A picks up the gem, rune or jewel and A on an item with free sockets (it turns green and says "A: socket it").
• Item name colors as in the original: white for normal items, gems, potions and gold; grey for socketed normal items; blue magic; yellow rare; green set; gold unique, runewords and quest items; orange crafted items and runes.
• Split screen: each player's inventory and panels open on the side of the screen where that player's view is, and descriptions use the small font.

Other changes

• The Blizzard logos at startup play with their sound (the classic logo videos in D2R are silent, so the importer also converts D2R's logo video: the same two logos with their sound). Run the importer again to get it; without it the silent logos play as before.
• Any key, gamepad button or mouse click skips a cinematic (before, only A, B, Start or Esc).
• Monsters stuck against each other now get through, so more of them reach you around walls and in crowds.
• Picking up an item sounds different from dropping it, as in the original.

Tested

The five acts (one and two players), the Echo of Hatred and every class's skills, the new effects, inventory and sockets with AddressSanitizer and UBSan drawing every frame, a network game with two machines and four players, and the Pi, Linux and Windows still compute exactly the same game. On the Pi the darkened Cairn scene costs about 5 ms more per frame for those 12 seconds.

Install / update

Download diablo2-port.zip (Pi and Linux) or diablo2-port-windows.zip (Windows) and replace the port; your saved games are kept. To hear the logos, run the importer again (the cinematics you already have are not converted again). To play over the network, all machines need this same version.
