Native gamepad support

Native support for PS4, PS5 and Switch controllers

PlayStation controllers should now be supported natively, wired or wireless. Switch controllers should also be supported albeit only via bluetooth in my testings (8 BitDo Pro2 in Switch mode).

Additional changes (by Tirlititi) from upstream

• Added an anti-aliasing option in Memoria.ini (option [Graphics] AntiAliasing that directly applies Unity's anti-aliasing system. This option should either be 0 (non anti-aliasing, the default option), 2, 4 or 8.
• Added -AutoRunGame -AutoRun and /Launch command-line options

Bug fixes:

• Fix Accuracy+ bypassed by Distract (which meant that there were only 50% chances to hit with Accuracy+ when attacking an ally that had Distract on while it should have been 100%).
• Fix DisableSA applying wrongfully to enemy SA
• Fix scripted heals not applying to Cinna/Marcus/Blank specifically
• Completed and fixed typos in Actions.csv that had no impact
• Fix "Tiger Hands" achievement: it refers to the Tiger Racket, not Tiger Fangs
• Add CasterMaxHP etc... as modifiable properties for ability and command effects
• Fix a soft-lock with beach heals on the World Map; see there
• Fix weird turning flickers; see Albeoris#257

Also tweaked NCalc (and GameState) utility:

• GetItemCount: it is now based on RegularItem IDs, not extended IDs, so you cannot use that function to check if the player has a key item or a Tetra Master card
• Add HasKeyItem and GetCardCountOfType to make up for the above
• Add TotalKillCount that sums all the (registered) kills; just like GetModelKillCount, it doesn't take into account the kills done before Memoria's update of June 2023 and it doesn't take into account multiple special battle wins

Voice Acting system improvements

I went ahead and made some improvements to help with Echo-S 9 project.

Added new functions and variables to NCalc

• MemoriaLog: It will evaluate the argument, output the result in the log file and pass through the result. Useful for debugging BattleVoiceEffects.txt
• IsCharacterInParty: returns whether or not the specifyed character is in the party
• Fixed GetPartyMemberIndex
• StealableItemCount: new variable for the expression unit, use with the 'Target', 'Caster' or no prefix depending of the context.

Allows multiple files for a single battle voice effects

Syntax is as follow : VoicePath:Folder/SubFolder/File1,File2,File3,File4

• If the effect is chosen to be played, a random file will be played.
• If there are more than 1 file, the same file cannot play twice in a row.

Play the voice line of the first choice automatically

When presented with a text dialog with choices, the first choice will be played automatically once the text finished playing.

BattleVoiceEffects.txt hot loading

Pretty self explanatory. When BattleVoiceEffects.txt is modified all the battle voice effects are invalided and all the BattleVoiceEffects.txt files will be parsed again. Can be done during battle.

Initialize more expression units for the battle voice system

• >Act will now be able to access Target information (when available) in its condition
• >Hitted will now be able to access Caster information in its condition

Added VictoryFocusIndex to BattleInOut

The index of last player character to act is now tracked and made available in the conditions of BattleInOut via VictoryFocusIndex

Added In-game volume and ATB Mode sliders

• The different volume and ATB Mode options can now be changed in-game via Config in the main menu.
• Unlike other settings those are not save file dependent and are applied globally.

Turn-based modes tweaks

• Ability to enter next command while previous one are being executed
• In Turn-based trying to skip character will make the current character defend, unless multiple characters are ready (ie. preemptive attack).
