Contributions summary:Gabe primarily contributed to the `glstate_images.cpp` file, focusing on MSAA (Multisample Anti-Aliasing) texture handling within the OpenGL tracing and retrace tools. Their work included implementing features to resolve and unresolve MSAA textures, extending support for depth and stencil buffers, and fixing related warnings. The user modified shaders and the texture handling logic to achieve these features.
