Convert ship/weapon loadout pools from naive per-class arrays to ordered maps that list loadout entries. Each entry represents a ship/weapon class and its count. An absent entry means the class is not in this mission's loadout. Since these are ordered maps, iteration of the map keys occurs in the same sequence as iteration of `Ship_info` or `Weapon_info`.
Includes several bugfixes:
- `csg_read_loadout` now clears both pools before reading. Previously the pools were only zeroed in `mission_campaign_init`
- `restore_wss_data`: non-transmitted classes are now absent rather than memset to 0
- a copy-paste bug where the weapon pool entries were bounds-checked against MAX_SHIP_CLASSES
- `wss_maybe_restore_loadout`: the pool write-back now preserves loadout membership instead of writing a count for every class
- `ss_dump_to_list`/`ss_swap_list_slot`: returning a slot ship whose class is not in the pool now makes it available instead of silently losing it. Unreachable in retail but reachable via script
- off-by-one errors in the Lua `Ship_Pool`/`Weapon_Pool` indexers

* 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
Use `std::unique_ptr` rather than `vm_malloc` and `vm_free` to handle optional strings in ship classes. This makes the code more robust and increases memory safety. This also allows several string variables to be consolidated in the ship class and weapon class script APIs.
Also add new `stuff_string()` overloads and a new `F_TRIMMED` string parsing type to handle the new fields and the string trimming done inside `stuff_malloc_string()`.
This refactors the ship registry and the OSWPT struct to store data as indexes rather than pointers. This is a prerequisite for making these collections dynamic in the future. See also #5800.
Follow-up to #5040. This extends the checks to most iterations over `obj_used_list` in FSO. There are a few exceptions such as `waypoint_add` and `waypoint_remove`, plus a few others. And none of the object iterations in FRED have the guard because FRED does not use the same object life cycle as FSO.
* Added a byte limit for line length in split function
* Fix call error
* Ádd missing limits import
* Change hardcoded values into defines
* Cleanup default argument
- use standard ADD/GET macros
- better detection of size issues
- support SHRT_MAX ship types
- support SHRT_MAX weapon types
- use MAX_WSS_SLOTS & MAX_SHIP_WEAPONS safely
- support sound indexes higher than 254
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.
Team Leader function was returning 0 instead of 1 when the team captain was messaging AI.
This optimizes, cleans up, and gets rid of edge-case buggy behaviour. Thank you ship_registry!
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 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.
