Whether textscreens should have a tool whitelist or a blacklist? #91

Description

@stepa2

(From discussion in #90.)

Whitelist (current state):

  • Pros:
    • New tools that are affected by ENT:CanTool are unable to break textscreens.
    • Less error reports.
  • Cons:
    • Allows tools that are not affected by ENT:CanTool to break textscreens.
      • E.g. anything with range-selection, like SmartWeld area selection, AdvDupe2 area copy and Multi-Parent area selection, I guess.
    • Disallows all tools that are compatible but not whitelisted.
    • More whitelist extension requests.

Blacklist:

  • Pros:
    • It is possible to block tools that cause errors.
    • New and existing tools that don't break textscreens will be allowed automatically.
  • Cons:
    • More error reports.

Blacklist and whitelist, switchable by convar:

  • Cons:
    • Will cause more error reports and whitelist extension requests.
