* Tune ups for standalones
Fixes two warnings from building in standalone and also provide, also adds needed function to actually tell if game is in standalone mode.
* better fix for armor flags
Just as special tokens are replaced in debriefings, replace them in command briefings and briefings as well.
Change `string_replace_tokens_with_keys` to `message_translate_tokens` (since it's the same thing) and add a `replaceContainers` script API function to complement `replaceVariables` and `replaceTokens`.
Also replace every category of token in `sexp_modify_variable` and add comments to places where token replacement might be expected but happens elsewhere.
Most places in the code that use `vm_vector_2_matrix` do so on already-normalized vectors. Changing these to `vm_vector_2_matrix_norm` avoids redundant normalization.
The return value of `lua_tostring()` is NULL if (and only if) the string conversion failed. Many places in the code did not check for this situation, which led to the crash in #6290.
Fixes#6290.
Considering that we have `ba.createRandomVector()`, we should have `ba.createRandomOrientation()` too. This is based on an algorithm devised by @Baezon.
Convert `sweep_duration` from seconds to milliseconds to work correctly with the timestamp system. Also clarify use of `game_get_overall_frametime()`, especially with `ba.getFrametimeOverall()`; and add `ba.getSecondsOverall()` to do what `ba.getFrametimeOverall()` allegedly did.
* Make sure we handle unknown location types
Avoids edge-case gargabe pointer 1522974
* Make sure local vectors are at least set to zero
For coverity 1522985
* Make sure from_table is initialized
When creating a replacement texture object, for coverity 1522989
* Change to Unreachable to help Linters
This was a false positive uninitialized scalar, Coverity 1523726. Hopefully, changing to UNREACHABLE() will help linters avoid this false positive in the future.
* Initialize xyw on this struct instantiation

* Add early return for ade_set_args if error

Much like a previous instance (fixed in #3281, although the function in question was later removed), `std::isdigit()` without a locale argument prevents MSVC 2017 from compiling FSO.
There was code that could interpret any Lua type as an argument for printing, so I adapted it to be used in ba.print(), ba.warning(), and ba.error(). Also ba.println() seemed like a useful thing to add.
* Adds new default 'lua' filter category for all lua errors and output
Adds -luadev flag that currently only makes lua errors non-fatal.
* Correcting unreachable code.
* Missed a halting code path for luadevmode
* comment fix
* Validate user-provided values passed to Random::next()
* return low value on invalid range
* call LuaError() instead of Warning() in rand32() script function
This introduces type parsing for all types used within the scripting
documentation. This improves the generated JSON output and also
validates new code via the unit test.
This is a follow-up to #2390. Retail used a weird hybrid approach where internal strings were translated but external strings were not. This restores that behavior by adding another language, LCL_RETAIL_HYBRID, which is the default. The game can still be run in completely untranslated or completely translated mode.
All three modes have been tested and translate strings, or not, as expected. The `$Use tabled strings for the default language:` flag has also been tested and still works.
This was the last thing that was missing for complete support of all
function parameter declarations.
To ensure parameter lists stay valid a unit test was added that will
validate the argument lists and cause the test to fail if they cannot be
parsed.
This can be used by script code for reliably storing Lua values without
having to build a custom serialization format.
The C++ code can also be used by other code modules that want to
serialize data. The new classes simply return a byte array with an
unspecified format.
At the moment this uses a plain JSON encoding but could be extended in
the future to include either compression or BSON encoding if necessary.
The format is future compatible by using a simple header to identify
different kinds of formats.
