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 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 allows to use standard TrueType Fonts for text rendering in FSO. It uses the NanoVG library which provides the ability of drawing 2D shapes. This library is used for most 2D operations now and can also be used directly by using the PathRenderer class.
Remove support for the IPX protocol. The IPX selector button in the multi
options menu is now hidden, and the TCP button is disabled since there is no other option.
- I think everything should default to resize now (much easier than having to figure that crap out)
- new mouse_get_pos_unscaled() function to return 1024x768/640x480 relative values so we don't have to do it later
- lots of little cleanups which fix several strange offset/size problems
- fix gr_resize/unsize_screen_pos() so that it won't wrap on int (took too long to track this down)
make sure NO_NETWORK builds are as friendly on Windows as it is on Linux/OSX
revert a timeout in Client.h back to the original value before Linux merge
