- A parse flag to indicate when the mission is being parsed, and a new `ship_class_index()` accessor in the ship registry, both currently unused
- Make the ship registry more robust, especially in FRED: properly update it when ships are renamed or deleted
* add wing display names
Adds display name capability for wings, matching the pattern and infrastructure of display names for ships. As in #7234, wing display names take precedence over ship display names, if both are provided; because if ship display names took precedence, a ship would have the same display name in every wave.
All the relevant display locations are handled, including the HUD, escort list, message box, and mission log. Lua API support is provided as well.
Adds full support for both FRED and QtFRED, including the always-save-display-names setting.
Addresses #7189 and the last request from #1730.
* add help text from #7234
Remove the `n_quadrants` field because it is entirely redundant to the size of `shield_quadrant`. Also, be more rigorous about the difference between `shield_get_quad(i)` (which can fluctuate) and `shield_quadrant[i]` (which gives the exact quadrant strength). Finally add some C++ casts and move some checks to better places.
* Remove old interpolate angles quick
* Remove old interpolate functions
These are no longer used.
* Add linear interpolate vm function
More clearing functions
* Add physics snapshot struct to silo interpolation
Two of these two functions require an object pointer, so they cannot be in physics_state.cpp
With doxygen documentation
* Try to placate Linux
* Address Feedback
* And update declaration, of course
* Attempt to appease linter
Turn `Parse_names` into a vector and add SCP_string overloads of ship registry functions. Refactor calling code to use registry as appropriate. Remove an unused overload of `mission_parse_get_parse_object`.
When iterating through `Ship_obj_list`, check the `Should_be_dead` flag before using the object. This fixes#4990 and adds defense-in-depth checks to guard against similar errors elsewhere.
I considered moving the `Ship_obj_list` removal from `obj_delete` to `ship_cleanup`, but decided it would be prudent to avoid fundamental changes to lifecycle management.
These fix up the in-game confirm packet and help sync client and server through a few timing fixes.

A bit overkill for some of this but just covering the bases.
* fix issues with in-game join
* fix multi messaging and multi pause screen
* make sure maintenance stuff (pings, voice, file xfer, etc.) isn't
affected by pausing or time compression
* Object Update Refactor
1. Keeps the object update packet aligned, even if the ship is dying or has not yet arrived on the client.
2. Properly handles model point shields (yes, that's what was causing multi to crash the most!)
3. Reworks positional interpolation timing and adds rotational interpolation, by sending timing information with every object update packet in a header shared between objects.
4. Saves a lot of bandwidth by only sending data that is changing. (no more sending all subsystems once per second!)
5. Better handles out of order packets (but can still use their information if recent enough!)
6. Builds the basis for Rollback by beginning to record the positions and orientations and velocities of ships for the last 30 frames.
7. Adds subsystem rotation -- Yeah, you saw that right, subsystems will now spin in multi.
8. Waypoint movement is now enabled via sexp, and time to arrival of waypoints is updated on the target info gauge.
* Fix edge case crash and Incorporate feedback
* Clean Up Interpolate Angles Quick
* Restrain the client
* How was this still here???
* Make sure every part of OO uses OOC_INDEX_NULLPTR_SUBSYSTEM define
* Fix Way to Store Return Values
* Ok travis, we get it
* Ok travis.........
Several things going on here:
1) refactor `get_display_string()` to `get_display_name()` to be more precise
2) likewise, refactor `alt_name` to `display_name`
3) automatically generate display names when parsing the ship, ship class, and weapon class for the first time
4) remove the on-the-fly truncation of names with hash symbols
Basically this subsumes the `end_string_at_first_hash_symbol` logic into the display name. Rather than truncate the name every time it's displayed, truncate it once when it's parsed. This takes advantage of the previous display name infrastructure, since display names are a superset of the case of truncating the hash symbol.
This also has the benefit of now allowing hash symbols within display names. When updating Destiny of Peace, I noticed that "Lockheed Shuttle #4" would no longer display properly; and it was not previously possible to fix this even with display names.
I could pull out the `get_display_string()` and `alt_name` renaming into a separate PR if desired.
I also fixed a few issues where the internal char array was used as a
mutable string which changed the string after it was parsed which is not
good(TM).
This also replaces all user-facing occurences of usages of name to use
the new function so that the correct, possibly translated, name is displayed
to the user.
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.
This renames the functions exposed by flagset so that it's clear that
64-bit values are returned. This also cleans up usages of wrong format
specified when that value is printed which caused some issues in the
past.
This should also fix#1336.
See also my comments on #762. The flag is almost entirely redundant, so this PR removes it in all instances where it's used in the ballistic primaries code. There are one or two places where removing it was not a no-op, so I adjusted the rest of the code accordingly (most notably in the parsing validation when it checks that primary weapon cargo has been assigned). I also added a few divide-by-zero checks and slightly tweaked the support ship rearm code. The use of the SIF_BALLISTIC_PRIMARIES flag in the ingame_join code was replaced with a dummy value to avoid bumping the multiplayer packet version number.
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.
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.
