A Warning indicates a potential problem in the content file(s) that the user told OpenMW to load. E.g. this might cause an object to not display at all or as intended, however the rest of the game will run fine.
An Error, however, is more likely to be a bug with the engine itself - it means that basic assumptions have been violated and the engine might not run correctly anymore.
The above mostly applies to errors/warnings during game-play; startup issues are handled differently: when a file is completely invalid/corrupted to the point that the engine can not start, that might cause messages that are worded as Error due to the severity of the issue but are not necessarily the engine's fault.
Hopefully, being a little more consistent here will alleviate confusion among users as to when a log message should be reported and to whom.
The flag must be separate so as to not contaminate the user's savegame.
Fixes the following use cases that were broken before:
- Content file edits a reference that was already deleted by a previously loaded content file -> reference must stay deleted
- Changed or new content file deletes a reference that is already present in the user's savegame -> reference must be deleted
- Said content file is disabled again - reference must be undeleted
It was just adding a level of indirection to Ptr.getClass().
All the call were replaced by that instead. The number of lines changed
is important, but the change itself is trivial, so everything should be
fine. :)
