This correctly calculates the turret position from the center (zero position) of its submodel instead of using the offset from the main model.
This patches a few more parts of the code and also adds a missing locale argument.
* Clean Up ai_attack_object()
There was an unused parameter, and no one has added subsystem targeting (at least to this function) in the past 20 years, so it's time to remove it and make it more readable. Probably better to adjust that behavior somewhere else anyway.
Also changes an Int3() into
* More Int3 cleaning
Refactor a few Int3()'s in the AI code
* Feedback on is_ignore_object_sub
* Feedback, remove duplicate check, add documentation to preserve why it was there
This PR provides modders with additional options to alter countermeasure values. Previously, countermeasures had a fixed, hardcoded fire wait time of 333 milliseconds, regardless of what `$Fire Wait:` was specified. Also, the AI would wait a fixed delay between firing of failed countermeasure launches and successful countermeasure launches. For successful launches the AI would double the fire wait. Also, Friendly ships would only use a fixed constant value for countermeasure firing chance, and not the value based on their class specific AI profile.
This PR exposes those values with the following options:
• Add main AI table flag: `Friendly Ships Use AI Profile Countermeasures Firing Chance`. This will allow Friendly ships to use their AI class profile countermeasure firing chance instead of the default fixed value from main AI table.
• Add value in CM section of weapons table: Countermeasures use fire wait time `+Use Fire Wait`. This is a boolean that allows the countermeasure’s fire wait to actually use what is specified in the `$Fire Wait:` section of that weapon.
• Add value in CM section weapons table: `+Fail Delay Equals Fire Wait`. The delay between failed countermeasure launches is set to use the fire wait value.
• Add value in CM section weapons table: `+Successful Launch Delay Multiplier`. This allows modders to set the value that is multiplied to fire wait for successful countermeasure launches.
As astuetly determined by @Baezon `the speed differential for retail cap ships is caused by 'ships with no shields can manage ETS', being part of the bugfixes with target version`. This PR adds two flags per Discord suggestion, one for all ships and one for only small ships.
