HudGaugeOffscreen::calculatePosition could return without writing its
outputs, either when the eye vertex overflowed or when the clipped
point landed a pixel or two inside the clip rectangle. The caller drew
anyway, so the indicator appeared at a random spot with a random
orientation that changed every frame. This showed up when targeting a
subsystem on a distant ship, where the clip loses enough precision to
hit the second case.
calculatePosition now returns whether it found a position, and both
callers skip drawing when it did not. The inside case falls back to
the nearest screen edge, since the point is already known to be off
screen, so the indicator stays steady instead of blinking.

Bind the existing fsspeech_* wrappers into the ui.Briefing, ui.CommandBriefing,
ui.Debriefing, and ui.TechRoom scripting sections so Lua UIs (e.g. SCPUI, which
overrides the native screens) can drive synthesized speech again.
Each section gets playTextToSpeech, stopTextToSpeech, pauseTextToSpeech,
isTextToSpeechPlaying, and isTextToSpeechEnabled. Briefing/command-brief/debrief
use FSSPEECH_FROM_BRIEFING; the tech room uses FSSPEECH_FROM_TECHROOM. fsspeech_play
already self-gates on the Speech.* options, so these are no-ops when speech is off.
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

* Fix Vulkan render target readback orientation to match OpenGL behavior
* Add render target pass resumption after Vulkan shadow rendering
Ensure that Vulkan render targets resume rendering properly after shadow passes, particularly for off-screen targets like SCPUI's 3D previews, to prevent unintended content leakage onto the screen.
* Skip alpha writes for additive batched bitmaps in render targets to preserve coverage and prevent opaque artifacts.
* Add external subpass dependencies to Vulkan render passes to fix read/write hazards
Introduce explicit memory dependencies for color attachments sampled between passes to prevent flickering and graphical artifacts caused by read-after-write and write-after-read hazards.
* Support fractional alpha values in createColor function and preserve 0-255 compatibility
* Shadow overhaul round 2: PCSS, dynamic cascades, cockpit/instanced shadows
Squashed snapshot of lafiel/shadow_overhaul_2's continuation work
(d3922aa87..010f9d2d9), which has no separate upstream PR of its own.
* Add Vulkan rendering backend
Squashed snapshot of the Vulkan backend as vendored into this branch
(ce2d1e85f..6ce539463, authored by Mara van der Laan with build/CI
fixes by Taylor Richards). This work has its own upstream PR #7553
(notimaginative:vulkan-pr-new) and is not otherwise original to true-hdr.
* Add true HDR output, RT shadows, and PCSS shadows for Vulkan
Squashed snapshot of true-hdr's own integration work: true HDR
framebuffer output, wiring the shadow overhaul into the Vulkan
backend (raytraced + cascaded shadow maps), logging refactors, log
filter UI, and CI/build fixes.
* refactor: update Vulkan logging calls to use `nprintf` for scoped logging
* fix: correct shadow cascade count in Vulkan logging calls
* fix: fall back to PATH-resolved ccache when CCACHE_PATH is stale
CI hardcodes /usr/local/bin/ccache, but macOS runners on Apple Silicon
hosts install Homebrew (and ccache) under /opt/homebrew instead,
causing all four Mac configs to fail with "No such file or directory".

VulkanState.h/VulkanDraw.h: getClearColor()/setClearColor() only touch
gr_screen and other globals, no instance state, so make them static
(readability-convert-member-functions-to-static) and drop the
top-level const on getClearColor()'s return type
(readability-const-return-type).
* fix clang-tidy warning
* Extend raytraced shadows to all directional lights
RT shadows previously only shadowed the first directional light in the
scene, even though multi-sun missions push more than one directional
light into the engine. The TLAS raytraced shadows query against is
already light-agnostic, so this extends both the deferred lighting
pass and the forward MODEL shader to shadow every directional light
(capped by a new Max Raytraced Shadow Lights option, configurable via
the in-game Options menu or the Lab's Scene rendering options).
Cascaded shadow maps are untouched: they're built for a single light
only, so the deferred pass still limits itself to one shadowed
directional light whenever CSM (not raytracing) is the active method.

* refactor: improve shader flag handling and render target finalization in Vulkan backend
- Consolidate shader flag setup logic in VulkanPostProcessingLighting to simplify configuration.
- Fix dead field usage in VulkanDraw by ensuring correct image view selection for environment maps.
- Add mip chain regeneration in VulkanRenderer::endRenderTarget to ensure correct mip levels for cubemaps.
* fix: ensure correct mip chain initialization in cubemap rendering
- Add mip chain generation to VulkanDraw for cubemaps with multiple mip levels.
- Fix potential issue with uninitialized mip levels above level 0 in deferred-f.sdr sampling paths.
* fix: don't crash on startup when environment locale is unavailable
std::locale("") pulls in the process's environment locale categories
(LC_CTYPE, LC_MONETARY, LC_PAPER, etc.), and throws std::runtime_error
if any of them names a locale not installed on the host (e.g.
mismatched regional-format overrides). Since SCP_default_locale is
constructed during static initialization, before main() and before any
of our own exception handling exists, an uncaught throw here aborted
the whole process before the game even started. Fall back to the
classic "C" locale instead, which is sufficient since this locale is
only ever used for ASCII case-folding (SCP_toupper/tolower/isdigit).

* fix: add clear pass for SMAA edge detection to prevent persistent artifacts
* feat: add Vulkan debug-utils messenger, opt-in sync validation, frame diagnostics
Groundwork for the renderer-review fix series (.agents/plans/
vulkan-renderer-review-fixes.md, Phase 0):
- Register a VK_EXT_debug_utils messenger (preferred) instead of only the
deprecated VK_EXT_debug_report callback, which is kept as a fallback for
loaders without debug-utils. The messenger config is also chained into
instance creation so vkCreateInstance-time messages are captured.
Validation errors/warnings now go to the main log via mprintf.
- New -gr_sync_validation cmdline flag (implies -gr_debug): chains
VkValidationFeaturesEXT with synchronization validation into instance
creation when VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation is available. This is the
regression net for the synchronization fixes in the following commits.
- Frame stats now report descriptor sets/writes allocated per frame and the
total pipeline count (descriptor-manager counters; DescriptorWriter::flush
moved out-of-line to report into the manager).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]>
* refactor: unify Vulkan render-pass begins, clamp in-pass clears, add per-frame UBO ring
Phase 1 of the renderer-review fix series: shared helpers that the
correctness fixes build on.
- New VulkanRenderer::beginTrackedRenderPass(PassBeginDesc): every render-pass
begin on the frame command buffer now records vkCmdBeginRenderPass and
updates the state tracker (pass, color attachment count, sample count,
render area, viewport) in one place. Converted: setupFrame,
beginSceneRendering (both branches), resumeSceneRendering,
endSceneRendering, beginRenderTarget (viewport kept for gr_set_viewport),
resumeSwapChainPass, plus new resumeScenePassAfterCopy() shared by
copyEffectTexture/copySceneDepthForParticles and
rebeginSwapChainPassAfterReadback() shared by both readbackFramebuffer
exits (~200 lines of duplicated begin/clear/viewport blocks removed).
- The state tracker records the active render area; all four
vkCmdClearAttachments sites clamp their rects against it and skip empty
results. Previously gr_screen-sized clear rects could exceed a smaller
off-screen render target's render area, which is invalid API usage.
- New PerFrameUboRing utility (VulkanPerFrameUbo.h/.cpp): a persistently
mapped uniform buffer with one slot region per frame in flight and a
self-flushing alloc(). Used by the next commit to fix the cross-frame
UBO races.
Deliberate behavior deltas (all safe-direction): the helper always sets
colorAttachmentCount/sampleCount (some sites previously inherited stale
values), and resumeSwapChainPass/resumeSceneRendering now also reset the
standard flipped viewport instead of leaving the previous one.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]>
* fix: eliminate Vulkan cross-frame UBO/buffer races, make gr_sync honest
Phase 2 of the renderer-review fix series: with two frames in flight, several
host-visible resources were rewritten by the CPU while the previous frame's
GPU work could still be reading them.
- The post-processing scratch UBO is now a PerFrameUboRing (per-frame-in-
flight slot regions, persistently mapped, self-flushing alloc). All the
per-pass map/unmap/cursor bookkeeping in bloom/LDR/fog/SMAA is deleted;
the cursor resets exactly once per frame via the new
VulkanPostProcessor::beginFrame() hook in setupFrame.
This also fixes two latent bugs: (a) fog consumed scratch slots mid-scene
and bloom's later same-frame cursor reset overwrote them before submission
whenever fog+bloom were both active; (b) volumetric_fog_data (288 bytes)
overflowed the 256-byte slots - the memcpy spilled into the neighboring
slot and the shader's bound range ended before the aspect/fov/noise
fields. Slots are now 512 bytes (static_assert at the fog call site) and
the per-frame budget is 32 slots.
- The dedicated tonemap, output-encode, and MSAA-resolve UBOs (each a single
instance rewritten per frame, i.e. racy; the MSAA one also never flushed)
are deleted entirely - those passes build their structs on the stack and
allocate from the scratch ring.
- Static-buffer rewrites orphan instead of racing: getVkBuffer() stamps a
last-used frame number, and a full-content updateBufferData() on a Static
buffer used within the last MAX_FRAMES_IN_FLIGHT frames defers the old
VkBuffer to the deletion queue and writes a fresh one. Offset writes
(GPU-heap appends to fresh regions) and PersistentMapping buffers (the
engine holds their mapped pointer and syncs via gr_sync) are exempt.
- gr_sync_wait now honors its contract: VulkanRenderFrame::waitForFinish
takes a timeout and reports expiry without consuming the fence;
VulkanRenderer::waitForFrame returns false for fences taken during the
still-recording frame (previously it waited on a stale or idle slot and
reported success) and resolves the frame->slot mapping correctly. This
makes UniformBufferManager's segment-fence throttling actually protective
on Vulkan for the first time.

* Address feedback
* avoid undefined behavior from UNREACHABLE on reachable code paths
UNREACHABLE expands to __assume(false) / __builtin_unreachable() in
release builds, which is undefined behavior if the code is ever actually
reached. Many UNREACHABLE sites only guard against unexpected-but-
possible runtime states (values from tables, mission/save files, network
packets, scripting, or user input), so reaching them should degrade
gracefully rather than invoke UB.
Replace UNREACHABLE with Assertion(false, ...) at all such sites. It
still pops an error in debug builds, but in release it is a harmless
no-op that simply falls through to the following code. Sites that are
genuinely unreachable by local invariants (e.g. a switch over a bounded
random number) are left as UNREACHABLE.
A few converted sites had no safe fall-through -- an uninitialized read,
null dereference, or null call would have followed -- so they also get a
minimal recovery: initialize the value, guard the dereference, return
early, or skip the offending item.
Where the converted site was a simple guard of the form
if (x) { Assertion(false, ...); return; }
hoist the check onto the invariant instead:
Assertion(!x, ...);
if (x) { return; }
This states the expectation directly and shows the offending value in
the debug popup, while keeping the same graceful runtime degradation.

* addendum
After consultation with Lafiel, use UNREACHABLE in situations that are effectively impossible even if not provably impossible. UNREACHABLE = "this shouldn't ever happen"; Assertion = "if this ever happens, it's a coding error". Also fix a few other sites and change a couple to Warnings.

* remove unused old neb values
* Update scripting API
* temporary old-value round trip
* Rewrite nebula fog with four explicit parameters
Replace the legacy `+Fog Near Mult` / `+Fog Far Mult` model — which
depended on fixed engine constants — with four parameters that map
directly to renderer behavior:
+Fog 1000m Visibility fraction of light surviving 1000m of fog
+Fog Near Distance meters from camera where fog begins
+Fog Skybox Clip Distance max render distance for the skybox in fog
+Fog Clip Distance max render distance for the scene in fog
The deferred-lighting fog shader, material system, model renderer,
object sort, and the Lua mission API all consume the new parameters
directly. The legacy `Neb2_fog_near_mult` / `Neb2_fog_far_mult`
globals are removed.
Mission parsing accepts either the legacy keys or the modern keys.
Legacy values are converted to the modern set at parse time, and a
per-mission flag (`Neb2_fog_use_legacy_values`) records which keys to
write back on save. The flag is cleared only when something actually
changes, so opening and OK'ing an unmodified legacy mission preserves
its on-disk format. Saving uses `optional_string_fred` to preserve
user comments through edit cycles.
FRED2 and QtFRED background editors both expose the four parameters
in place of the old multipliers, with friendly labels and tooltips.
Both editors validate input (visibility clamped to [0, 1]; near
distance must be > 0; skybox and scene clip distances may be 0 to
disable fog at that range) and use a snapshot-and-compare at close
time so that a no-op open-then-OK never spuriously rewrites a legacy
mission in the modern format.
FRED2's background dialog is also reorganized so that "Display bg
bitmaps in nebula", "Override nebula fog palette", the RGB row, and
the four fog parameters all sit inside the Nebula group box; the
"Old Nebula" group box is restored below it with its Pattern, Color,
Pitch, Bank, and Heading controls back inside the frame. The dialog
now overrides PreTranslateMessage so that the new fog tooltips —
and the previously broken "Save sun/bitmap angles in correct format"
tooltip — actually fire.
QtFRED's BackgroundEditor.ui adds four QDoubleSpinBox controls in
the existing nebula form layout, with per-field decimals chosen to
avoid scientific notation, and per-field min/max declaring the
validation rules. The QtFRED help page is updated to describe the
new fields.
* fix tooltips
* restore forward-renderer fog
* Clang Tidy
* address feedback
* Refine nebula fog rewrite
- Rename Neb2_fog_use_legacy_values to Neb2_fog_save_legacy_values
to reflect that the flag governs save format, not runtime
behavior.
- Decide both the save flag and the legacy-to-modern conversion
purely from whether the file contains modern fog keys, dropping
the prior heuristic based on required_fso_version. A mission
without modern keys (legacy- or retail-format) converts on load
and saves back in legacy format; missions with modern keys are
saved as modern.
- Snapshot the four fog values as floats at editor open and use
fl_equal for the no-change comparison in both FRED2 and QtFRED,
replacing the FRED2 CString comparison and the QtFRED strict
inequality.
- Document the on-disk invariant in missionsave: when not saving
legacy keys, the four modern keys must always be written (never
gated on "only if non-default"), since the parser uses their
presence to decide whether to run the conversion on next load.

* better fix for armor flags
1. Change `ai_profile_lookup` and `multi_xfer_lookup` to use `const char *`, since all the other lookup functions do
2. Remove several unneeded `const_cast`s, some of which are now made possible by the non-const `data()` overload in C++17
3. Change `campaign_link` to use `const char*`
4. Use better string management in `test::FSTestFixture::init_cmdline()`
The scripted `gr.drawOffscreenIndicator` was missing a critical `resetClip();` which meant it was using whatever the previous stack's clipping distance was, and thus not draw in the actual correct location.

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.
The object and ship indexes held by the ship registry do not actually need to be cleared until `ship_cleanup` completes. This will allow the ship to be referenced in any functions (via script hooks or otherwise) that are called during cleanup.
Tweak related script documentation while we're at it.
Follow-up to #7120. Fixes#7122.
A minor bug in #6077 resulted in a crash loading campaigns on the multi ui.
The bug itself was not fatal, however it triggered a cascade of poor error
handling which led to a crash. A lot of these issues date back to retail.
This fixes the minor bug, and hopefully adds enough error handling to
preemptively squash a repeat of the crash problem.

FSO doesn't appear to use this any longer. And even when it was enabled the
requirements made it largely useless anyway. Removing to clean up cfile a
bit and so we don't have to keep maintaining it.
1. Add an explicit `mn.createWaypointList` function
2. Allow `mn.createWaypoint` to be used with an empty waypoint list
3. Update documentation of `mn.createWaypoint` to clarify optional arguments
