This adds some new JSON entries to custom levels so they can support vanilla sky textures and the texture remapping tables, allowing for proper textures on objects that use `generic`, like dark eco pools or dying enemies. The comments explain it in more detail, but the gist is: For skies: - `sky` needs to be a vanilla level that has sky textures. - The alpha tpage (fourth entry in `tpages`) needs to be that vanilla level's alpha tpage (if `tex_remap` is the same level as `sky`, this will be handled automatically). - The tpage needs to be added to the custom level `.gd` and to `textures` in the JSON. - In `level-info.gc`, `sky` needs to be `#t`, your level's mood needs to call `update-mood-sky-texture` (the default mood, `update-mood-default`, handles this as an example) and `sun-fade` needs to be nonzero for the sun to show up. For `generic` textures: - `tex_remap` needs to be the name of a vanilla level. - When using a vanilla level's remap table, you need to adhere to the order of the files in that level's `.gd` in your own level. - Code files are first. - Then the tpages (in the order `tfrag`, `pris`, `shrub`, `alpha`, `water`). - Then the art groups. - Lastly, the level file. - The tpages need to be added to the `textures` in the JSON. |

Custom Levels
Disclaimer: custom levels are still in development and are missing most features.
The first three steps are already done for "test zone", so this can be used as a starting point.
1: File Setup
To create a custom level, copy the layout of custom_assets/jak1/levels/test-zone. See test-zone.jsonc for information on how to name things. The .gd file also contains the level name.
2: Modify the engine
Modify goal_src/jak1/engine/level/level-info.gc to add level info for each custom level. There is level info for test-zone at the bottom that can be used as an example.
3: Modify the build system
Modify goal_src/jak1/game.gp and add a custom level target:
(build-custom-level "test-zone")
;; the DGO file
(custom-level-cgo "TESTZONE.DGO" "test-zone/testzone.gd")
4: Export the GLTF file from blender.
For now, all meshes are displayed and treated as ground collision. This causes buggy collision because walls shouldn't use "floor" mode.
Blender will create a .glb file, which must have the name specified in the .jsonc file and should be located in custom_assets/jak1/levels/your_level
5: Rebuild the game
Any time the .glb file is changed, you must rebuild the game. Launch the compiler (goalc) and run (mi) to rebuild everything. It's recommended to leave the compiler open - it will remember files that haven't changed and skip rebuilding them.
6: Go to the custom level
Start the game in debug mode gk.
In the compiler window, run (lt) to connect to the game. You must run this again every time you restart the game. If this doesn't work, there could be a firewall issue and you must allow goalc/gk to use the network. They don't make any outside connections.
In the compiler window, run a command like (bg-custom 'test-zone-vis) to load and start at a custom level.
