* Object Update Refactor
1. Keeps the object update packet aligned, even if the ship is dying or has not yet arrived on the client.
2. Properly handles model point shields (yes, that's what was causing multi to crash the most!)
3. Reworks positional interpolation timing and adds rotational interpolation, by sending timing information with every object update packet in a header shared between objects.
4. Saves a lot of bandwidth by only sending data that is changing. (no more sending all subsystems once per second!)
5. Better handles out of order packets (but can still use their information if recent enough!)
6. Builds the basis for Rollback by beginning to record the positions and orientations and velocities of ships for the last 30 frames.
7. Adds subsystem rotation -- Yeah, you saw that right, subsystems will now spin in multi.
8. Waypoint movement is now enabled via sexp, and time to arrival of waypoints is updated on the target info gauge.
* Fix edge case crash and Incorporate feedback
* Clean Up Interpolate Angles Quick
* Restrain the client
* How was this still here???
* Make sure every part of OO uses OOC_INDEX_NULLPTR_SUBSYSTEM define
* Fix Way to Store Return Values
* Ok travis, we get it
* Ok travis.........
This introduces a new mechanism for handling bit flags. Instead of using an int (or two, or three) to write bits into, this uses the std::bitset in a wrapper class that accepts an enum class as input. This means that certain classes of errors we've had a few of in the engine, where a coder used the wrong set of flags or checked them against the wrong variable (SF_STEALTH vs SIF_STEALTH, for example) can now be detected at a compiler level rather than not at all.
- Add On Mission Start, On Mission End hooks; swap Warpin and Warpout to Warp In and Warp Out
- Safer handle helper structs
- Improved math, eg matrix interpolation and vector multiply/divide
- Filesystem read AND write support
- Initial scripting orders support
- Better waypoints support
- Assorted requested scripting functions
bmpman:
- Safer bm_get_filename
cfile:
- Support for RW, rather than just R or W, file modes.
model:
- Safer texture_info struct. Taylor, I know we talked about this, but I realized that it was just a lot better for what it does and it shouldn't be too much trouble to replace with the new system (operations tend to be much more concise and clear). Let me know if any unexpected difficulties arise.
