Rev 58L

This release shifts most game variables from individual global vars, into indices of the arrays GameEvents[ ] and GameDynamics[ ].

Thus far, 52 global vars have been merged, with about 35 remaining.

In so doing, I've added a constant for each previous variable, thus allowing the functions Is(), Var(), Event(), and Val() to retrieve, or set the array index values.

If anyone wants a reference:

//Returns from GameEvents[]
bool Is(int event){
    return GameEvents[event];
}

void Is(int event, bool setting){
    GameEvents[event] = setting;
}

Owns() should be here, and is in another .zlib
bool Owns(int itm){
    return OwnsItems[itm];
}

bool Owns(int itm, int val){
    OwnsItems[itm] = val;
}

//Returns from GameEvents[]
bool Event(int event){
    return GameEvents[event];
}

void Event(int event, bool setting){
    GameEvents[event] = setting;
}


//Returns from GameDynamics[]
int Val(int var){
    return GameDynamics[var];
}

int Var(int var, int value){
    GameDynamics[var] = value;
}

int Var(int var){
    return GameDynamics[var];
}

int Val(int var, int value){
    GameDynamics[var] = value;
}

int Set(int var, int value){
    GameDynamics[var] = value;
}

int SetB(int var, bool value){
    GameEvents[var] = value;
}

This also brings the OwnsItems[ ] array into use.

After thoroughly testing the changes, everything seems to work.

One other update, is that the Staff of Jhkarr behaves again. It disables fully when the player is out of MP--this is the third time I've had to modify this behaviour--and further, a quick save without the item, will not give the player the item, if they pick it up, and later restore. Restoring from a quick save without the staff, will restore the player without it, as intended; so that's one fewer bugs to fix.

The RPG.zh implementation is now Alpha 0.97.1, adding RPG_Constants.zlib, and modifying functions to use the arrays instead of single global variables.

this looks amazing!
