project: Use pragma pack and remove static_assert spam

[F1F7Y]

Only removes the static_assert spam, doesn't fix any wonky classes.

Talking with @RoyalBlue1 in vc about this and we kinda agree that in regards to the static_assert while it does hurt readability a bit, it's safer to keep them, especially given the fact that we have a size mismatch as pointed out by your code comment.

That being said we should still do the pragma pack part ofc. Maybe splice from the PR so that we can merge it early? ^^

The size mismatch is because the northstar class is wrong ( see CPlayer ) . While for basic classes the static_assert does hurt readability only a bit for larger classes ( once again see CPlayer and notice it inherits from other large classes ) it would hurt a LOT. There's also the argument that we have classes without static_assert and pragma packing and they haven't broken and unless we change the build system they wont break :).

The static_assert is fine imo but ig we can yeah

No :P, this is already split as i didnt want it to be too large.

I think the reasoning @RoyalBlue1 and I had in regards to the static_assert was to catch any case in which someone would accidentally swap class members.

I don't really hold too strong of an opinion there other than that I prefer to be overly cautious with checks to assert assumptions early to prevent weird behaviour caused by broken assumptions.

I'll leave the discussion up between the two of you ^^

I'd argue that they can be removed for cases where we have mapped out all (or the vast majority) of the members. Member offsets accidentally being changed is much more likely to happen when we have huge unk gaps between members

Imo we have code review to catch these kinds of errors. If we enforce the // Offset ( Size ) comments its going to be even easier to catch.

Also anything from datamaps doesnt need offset checks at all as it was given to us by the game (eg CPlayer).
