FRED's handling of mission loading and creation is a bit wonky. The `stars_post_level_init()` function should run for each new mission, not just once when FRED is started. That fixes a background editor crash and I also did a bit of other cleanup.
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 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.
This adds a new AI goal which is equivalent to play-dead except that it "sticks". It doesn't clear the goal list
so it will continue playing dead until the goal is removed or another goal with a higher priority is added.
This was reported by ngld who experienced issues with Knossos since FRED
did not terminate properly when asked to provide the command line flags.
This should fix that.
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.
This was an issue since UTF-8 encoded text can contain -128 as part of
an encoding sequence which causes a lot of issues for the parsing code.
I could not find any indication why the original code didn't use null
bytes from the start and I also couldn't find any code that would break
because of this. If anyone knows why this was done like this please let
me know.
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.
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.
This allows to use a different method of creating and managing the
OpenGL context. This is needed of wxFRED where the OpenGL context is
created by wxWidgets. This will probably also fix#753 since it uses the
old wgl based method of creating an OpenGL context in FRED.
The documentation says that the SDL OpenGL attributes need to be
initialized before a window is created. These changes implement that by
moving the actual SD_Window creation inside the OpenGL setup. FRED only
sets the native window handle to the correct HWND and gropengl uses
that.
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.
This expands the existing system which only worked on Windows to all
supported platforms.
If the MSVC debug runtime is not present then its behavior is emulated
by adding a header to each allocated memory block.
