Collision groups as previously coded were unusable due to Lua 5.1's lack of support for bitwise operators. This fixes that deficiency in two ways:
1) Objects now have the functions `addToCollisionGroup` and `removeFromCollisionGroup`
2) An `evaluateNumericSEXP` function has been added for returning SEXP results as numbers (so that the bitwise SEXP operators can be used)
The previous system was kind of hacky and made things a bit inflexible.
This improves that system quite a bit and also adds unit tests for the
hook variable functionality.
1) Upgrade the pilot file code to correctly save flags whether entries are added *or* removed
2) Make the tech-db/tech-db-multi ship flag handling consistent
3) Add scripting support for intel entries
4) Add scripting support for adding and removing entries from the tech room
5) Minor cleanup
This adds an Antlr grammar for parsing argument lists instead of using a
hand written parser. This allows to write much more complicated syntax
constructs and have all the code being auto-generated. It will also
produce a much more correct parser instead of having all those hacks in
the hand-written one.
This also adds (in addition to supporting the previous syntax) support
for function types along with support for them in HTML and JSON output
formats.
The ANTLR generated parser is included in source form so that it is not
necessary to have an ANTLR installation around if you are not going to
change the grammar. Also includes the necessary runtime code from Antlr.
This adds a mechanism for running generic operations at specific points
of the frame execution. This can be used by any part of the code an not
just Lua since it simply executes std::functions. It also adds an
"execution context" concept that specifies in which situation an
operation should be executed.
This is then used by the Lua Coroutines code for resuming coroutines at
specific points instead of always when the awaited promise resolves.
This adds a simple parser that takes the existing argument
documentations and parses them so that better documentation can be
generated from that information. This should be sufficient for providing
proper documentation generation for the most common and simple cases of
argument lists (type, name, possible default value, and optional
groups).
This was previously used for allowing scripts to set arbitrary values on
scripting objects. However, it was used by only a few scripting
functions and, as far as I know, no script uses this features.
This removes that feature which simplifies the code ade_index_handler
of.
This also simplifies the code that handles the userdata for libraries
provided by FSO.
This maintains the type information which can be used for enforce
const-correctness and also for implementing more advanced ways of
handling the type information.
Ideally it wouldn't be an optional argument at all, but that would break backwards-compatibility, so instead it'll just return an invalid ship handle instead of calling ship_create() with a class of -1. In addition, the Assert from ship_create() meant to guard against invalid ship_type values is now an Assertion that actually says what the invalid value of ship_type was, to make future debugging easier.
This adds a scripting API which can be used for adding and removing
background from a mission similarly to the existing SEXPs but with full
support for floating point numbers.
This was requested by Axem on Discord.
Since atoi return 0 on error the code tries to access the waypoint list
with index -1 which causes an assert in the lookup code. This fixes that
by using the error detection capabilities of strtol.
This add a system for adding generic instances of the DynamicSEXP class
to the SEXP system. The only implementation at the moment is the LuaSEXP
which is used by the mn.addSEXP lua API to allow Lua to add new SEXPs.
Since this requires that FRED also runs lua scripts I added a mod table
option to enable scripting in FRED. Since the current scripts are not
built with FRED in mind it would likely break all these scripts if FRED
would be opened with normal scripting enabled.
This fixes#1320.
