If SDL completely fails to get its preference path, at least warn the user so that it doesn't crash straight to the desktop without creating a debug build.
This adds the capability to have a Lua script that does not need to use
our table syntax at all but instead defines the hooks by calling API
functions. This also makes it possible to add hook functions at runtime
if the script requires that.
Also clean up some unused debug stuff.
The standalone did not initialize SDL and so did not receive the quit
signal when it was sent SIGTERM or SIGINT. This fixes that by making the
standalone server just use the normal os initialization code.
Also includes some other code cleanup and some more logging to make it
more apparent in the log what is currently happening at standalone
startup.
This mostly meant for special docker standalone server builds where it
might be useful to have full release performance but also have the logs
available if necessary. This now always compiles the log statements but
enables or disables them with a constexpr so they should not appear in
actual release binaries.
This will make it easier to get logs from FSO running in a docker
container since logging to stdout is the easiest solution there.
Also includes some other changes that will make this work better in
Docker containers.
This adds a new graphics type for the Vulkan graphics API. All this does
is to create a vulkan instance and a presentation surface with the help
of SDL.
Since FSO does not support Unicode characters in filesystem paths on
Windows yet, it is necessary to catch these issues early on and display
an appropriate error message. These changes do that by going through the
path with our UTF-8 decoder and detecting any characters that are out of
the ASCII range.
This is a system for storing arbitrary data in the config file and then
easily retrieving it later on. This has full Lua support for exposing
the available options in a custom UI and changing the values of the
options. This ported some of the existing command line options over to
the new system which is opt-in for the moment by using a mod_table flag.
This adds the runtime and compile version of the used SDL library to the
start of the debug log. This was requested by ngld and should make
diagnosing some errors easier.
This will make debugging config location issues easier since the log
will state which path os_is_legacy_mode took while determining the
legacy mode status.
There were some reports that using a newer launcher together with an
outdated launcher was causing some issues since the new launcher would
write the new config file which would cause FSO to ignore the changes of
the old launcher since the new config file already exists.
This fixes that by adding a check for when the config locations were
last modified. On Linux and Mac it checks when the old config locations
were modified last while on Windows it checks the registry to determine
if there was a change after the new config file was created.
This fixes various issues I found while trying to compile FSO in a cross
compilation setup using MinGW. This is a prerequisite for merging Tea-CI
support.
The crash was caused by a static initialization order problem where the
static initializer of the FRED app was called before the initializer of
the outwnd filter vector.
This fixes that by initializing the vector as soon as necessary through
the use of a function with a static variable.
This adds proper Unicode support by allowing the parse system to read
UTF-8 encoded files. The new mode is controlled by a mod option which
allows older mods to continue using the legacy text encoding.
That option changes the behavior of several systems in FSO. It disallows
the usage of Volition fonts since they don't support Unicode encoding
and changes a few usages of special characters to their unicode
counterparts of generic rendering solutions.
This fixes#1415.
FSO now allows the window title to be specified via game_settings.tbl, some never-used function arguments were pruned at the same time, and fred.rc now receives version information (for the About dialogue and the title bar) from a cmake-generated header, so the version numbers get filled in properly. Speaking of FRED's About dialogue, it now displays the copyright symbol properly.
It serves no purpose there since it's a message specifically designed to
be seen by modders and most times the stack trace doesn't even contain
useful information since there are no debug symbols present.
Due to some initialization order issues the original header string
wasn't printed to the log anymore. This fixes that by initializing
outwnd_inited before doing the initial outwnd_print.
If the descripting of a weapon is too long it would currently cause a
very unhelpful assertion message. This fixes that by checking the length
of the lines when parsing the weapon description. I removed the
assertions since the string is just cut of if it is too long so that
fixes the actual assertion.
I also added two unit tests for making sure that too long descriptions
cause warnings.
This makes the debug window resizable and also reduces the default size
to ~80% of the used display. This also makes sure that the main window
has input focus after the debug window was created.
This allows to show the debug output in a second window in real time.
This system could be expanded further to allow more interactivity but
the current status is good enough.
