Since the original release of FS2, internal strings have been translated to their English entries in strings.tbl but external strings have not been translated to their English entries in tstrings.tbl. It appears that string translation was universal until it was disabled via a hack, probably due to FRED idiosyncrasies (see comment in `fred_init()`), and then not re-enabled for release. PR #2343 re-enabled it, but this turned out to have undesirable side-effects since many mods used incorrect XSTR indexes for external strings.
This PR restores the previous behavior and also cleanly separates localization into translated and untranslated modes. FRED will always run in untranslated mode. FSO will run in translated mode for all languages except English, where it will run in untranslated mode UNLESS the new option `$Use tabled strings for the default language` is enabled in game_settings.tbl.
This does some refactoring to make it possible to cimpile and run FSO
without needing to link to FFmpeg. Since that eliminates support for
cutscenes or sound this is mostly useful for running a standalone server
which has no need for this anyway.
This reduces the image size of the standalone Docker image to only 20MB
and also resolves any licensing issues that might have existed.
There are now three states for cutscenes: always viewable, where they will appear no matter what; never viewable, where they will never appear; and viewable, which can be modified during the campaign. Currently cutscenes will go from not-viewable to viewable, but organizing the flags this way will allow a future feature to make cutscenes not-viewable, if that is desired.
There's also a small edit to csv_convert to guard against array overflows. Not directly related to the feature but it's in the same place and affects the same code.
Travis CI recently added support for running builds in Windows. This
adds support for testing compilation on Windows using that feature.
The newer version of Visual Studio and MinGW required some code changes
and an update of Google Test which is included in this commit.
This changes the FFmpeg code to not use av_seek_frame anymore if looping
is not required. This fixes an issue when playing MVE movies since that
format does not support seeking.
This fixes#1828.
This adds a playback property for making the movie loop to the start
when the end is reached. The way this is done is by simply keeping the
decoder running even if the end of the movie is reached. Then the movie
is reset to the beginning and decoding continues. The player detects
this reset by examining the frame times which keeps the playback
constant.
This also includes support for this in the movie scripting API.
This is similar to the other changes I already posted. Here the sound
instance handles are converted to their own handle type which will make
it easier to use the sound API.
This was causing issues when using the new scripting API in JAD where
there were a lot of 2D operations which filled up the immediate mode
buffer. The reason was that GL_ARB_vertex_attrib_binding the relative
offset is limited and the movie code adds the immediate buffer offset to
the vertex layout which then hit the offset limit set by OpenGL.
This fixes that by using the normal byte offset method which is already
used by the render_primitives functions.
This adds an API for the scripting system which allows it to load and
display movie files using the standard movie player code which includes
multi-threaded frame decoding.
This allows to directly display RGB(A) movies without transcoding them
to YUV first. This allows the movie player to support APNG files (which
are supported natively by FFmpeg) with an alpha channel and without
converting them to YUV first.
This allows to use external subtile files (currently only SRT is
configured) for providing subtitles for movie files. This should be more
universal since it also supports container formats with no support for
subtitle streams.
To use this code the srt file needs to be named
"<movie name>-<language code>.srt" where the language code is the file
extension name specified in the localization table. For english the
"-..." part can be omitted.
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 adds support for displaying subtitles embedded in movie files. This
supports files with multiple subtitle streams where each stream contains
the subtitles for one language. When the movie file is opened, the
stream for the currently active language will be used and displayed.
This resolves one of the points mentioned in #1522.
This also depends on PR #1484.
This moves all the cutscene specific code out of the movie player code
and into the cutscene code so that the movie player can be reused for
usage in other environments.
This is required for #1041 since an implementation of that feature would
reuse the movie player code of the cutscene code but without all the
main loop stuff.
There is nothing specific to OpenGL in that code anymore since it's all
handled in the shaders at this point. This will make the lighting
information available in the normal graphics code which allows to use
those values when filling the uniform buffer for the model rendering.
All transformations are now handled by shaders so there is nothing
special going on in the graphics API specific code anymore. Since model
uniform buffers require access to these matrices I moved the matrix
handling out of the graphics API code.
This converts the deferred lighting shader to use uniform buffers for
the dynamic data sent to the GPU while rendering the lighting effects.
This doesn't affect performance but the deferred lighting code is a
nicely isolated piece of rendering code where I could test how the
rendering code could use the uniform buffers.
This is related to #910.
This converts all usages of bmpman textures to OpenGL texture arrays.
That means that all frames of an animation are stored in a single OpenGL
texture object and can be accessed at the same time in a single draw
call. This should significantly reduce the overhead of drawing lots of
particles since all particles of a single animation can be drawn with a
single draw call.
This fixes#1169.
The new design is centered around the Event Trace JSON format but it
should still be possible to adapt it for other profiling tools. The old
profiling system has been removed.
