This adds a new class which allows to create type safe resource handle
types. At the moment, the engine uses ints pretty much everywhere for
providing handles to resources created by the specific subsystems. Since
all ints are the same to the C/C++ typesystem it is perfectly legal to
pass a sound handle to the graphics API as a buffer handle which will
obviously cause issues.
This adds a new type called "ID" which is a wrapper class for a generic
handle but with added type safety. An instance of this class cannot be
passed to a function expecting another type of handle which provided
compile-time type safety for these APIs.
As an initial test I converted the game sound handles to this new type.
I already found a bug in the mainhall system thanks to this new type.
The mainhall used the game sound handles as sound instance handles which
probably meant that that specific code never really worked right. I
removed the code since there was no better alternative for fixing it.
All transformations are now handled by shaders so there is nothing
special going on in the graphics API specific code anymore. Since model
uniform buffers require access to these matrices I moved the matrix
handling out of the graphics API code.
Changes a few windows (tech room, campaign room, medal case, and HUD config menu) to issue Warnings instead of Errors if certain pieces of interface art are missing. If their mask bitmap is missing, they automatically close themselves and display the old "Sorry, this feature is available only in the retail version" popup from the demo, allowing FSO to run the demo data without crashing when you click on the wrong button.
It also restores the special demo popup for the campaign room, which allows you to at least restart the demo campaign without deleting and recreating your pilot.
tech_render_anim did not check whether there were any intel/weapon
entries before trying to read from Current_list, which means that it
read at Current_list[-1], which is a Bad Thing (TM).
Do not try to render an anim if there is no entry.
This introduces a new mechanism for handling bit flags. Instead of using an int (or two, or three) to write bits into, this uses the std::bitset in a wrapper class that accepts an enum class as input. This means that certain classes of errors we've had a few of in the engine, where a coder used the wrong set of flags or checked them against the wrong variable (SF_STEALTH vs SIF_STEALTH, for example) can now be detected at a compiler level rather than not at all.
This allows to use standard TrueType Fonts for text rendering in FSO. It uses the NanoVG library which provides the ability of drawing 2D shapes. This library is used for most 2D operations now and can also be used directly by using the PathRenderer class.
Converts Ship_info from a ship_info[] to an SCP_vector<ship_info>. ship_info now has proper constructors, assignment operators, and a destructor. Num_ship_classes removed; various references to Num_ship_classes and/or MAX_SHIP_CLASSES (which remains for various other structures which need it) changed to Ship_info.size() instead.
This doesn't make the ship class limit dynamic, but it is a preparatory step to get there.
Also includes support for more than two mainhall resolutions, zooming
so one mainhall can adapt to multiple resolutions, setting new mainhall
fonts, help overlays for all resolutions and adjustable tooltip padding.
Also allows preload screens to be any resolution & aspect ratio.
