The largest new feature is that it is now possible to include other
files into the RML by using the "include" tag. This is useful for making
markup files more modular.
Also added some more options for existing things (e.g. built-in detail
options).
For some reason my repro had some critical issues and I was unable to comitt to the PR #2210. I have closed that PR and opened this one given the discussion in #2210. The result of that discussion was `but omit line 594`. That is what this PR does.
This expands the functionality of the cusotm controls to work with rebindings when using the sexp `key-pressed`. A key default value must be specified in `controlsconfigcommon.cpp` for the sexp `key-pressed` to track key binding changes. This PR adds that functionality by assigning default keys that were not in use (alt shift 1-5).
Many mods and scripts use custom features that are triggered by key press. Currently, those keypresses cannot be changed by the player. I want to add 5 controls that do nothing and thus can be used for scripts/modding purposes. This way the modder could add new features/controls easily and have them show up in the controls menu and be bindable. As opposed to using a script which triggers via a keypress, and that keypress cannot be changed by the player in game (and may be bound to another control).
Also, Axem has expressed he would find this feature and Fate of the Galaxy certainly will.
This PR adds functionality to `Has Xstr:` in `controlconfiguredefaults.tbl`. Previously this value was use as a boolean, 0 or 1 to specify if the string should be used. This PR treats that field as an integer, and thus allows modders to specify which string to use for the control. If the value is 0 (default) then the string is not used, if the value is 1 then the defautl string is used and if the value is greater then 1 the game will use that specified index in strings.tbl.
This allows modders to properly translate all control names. Specifially, six controls overlaped with pre-existing string.tbl indexes adn thus could not be translated properly. These are VIEW_TOPDOWN, VIEW_TRACK_TARGET, AUTO_PILOT_TOGGLE, NAV_CYCLE, TOGGLE_GLIDING, and CYCLE_PRIMARY_WEAPON_SEQUENCE.
This PR will allow modders to now proerly have full control name translations. It also provides a fix for issue #1629.
Free look will now move in the same directions as ship controls, whether pitch or yaw, and whether using keyboard or mouse/joystick.
Also, remove an inaccurate comment, and add a clarifying one.
This commit adds new id for existing strings, so that they are translateable through the strings.tbl.
The following is translateable now:
- The 'or' seperator in the Keypress Directive gauge, if one function is bound to two keys.
- The Supernova warning.
- The error message that is displayed prior the pilot selection screen, if something is wrong with the loaded modification.
Previously, the key text would use the localized key name which made it
hard for scripts to consistently handle key presses across different
languages. This changes that interface so that it always returns the
english name of the key.
Before, if any parsing call failed it would throw an exception which
would have been propagated to the exception handler in main() which
terminates the program. This should fix that.
The codebase had quite a few instances of .size() being called and then checked to see if it was 0 or not (or less than 1, or greater-than-or-equal-to 1, which are basically equivalent), when .empty() could be called instead (negated or not, depending on what the original condition was).
The CMake merge changed the default files system to include individual files instead of use a bunch of hardcoded strings, but the old file got left behind for some reason. Also, the same merge added some spurious extra imports of def_files.h which I removed at the same time (although if somebody wanted to go through and clean up all of our imports again, it'd probably be a good time for it).

MASSIVE thanks to Mjn.Mixael and Blue Planet for tireless constant testing.
(It's still not perfect, but it probably wouldn't be where it is at without them)
Spans a lot from initial commit to AP Branch in r6835.
