If consecutive red-alert missions have different numbers of ships in a wing, then calculating the number of waves will not be correct. This necessitates the addition of wing status to the stored data for red-alert sequences.
Not only must wing data be stored in `Red_alert_wing_status`, but also in the CSG file. This necessitates a version bump. Fortunately, the current design of CSG files allows extra data to be added to a section without breaking old builds, since the CSG loader will just skip over the unrecognized data.
This also renames `red_alert_wingman_status` to `red_alert_ship_status` since it's not limited to wingmen, as well as fixing the omission of exited ships if they are in the player's wing but don't have the red-alert-carry flag.
Fixes#5637. Follow-up to #4457 and #5609.
For certain calculations involving armor, the `GetDamage` function needs to know if the damage is being applied by a beam so it can apply the calculations with the proper frametime. The parameter was not provided in all cases, so this fixes that.
Follow-up to #1609.
#5328 added a very useful culling for particles created by specific particle effects (ie weapons, now beams), though in an effort to simplify the culling process, that PR removed the necessary culling of default smoke on ships. This PR restores the culling of default smoke while also keeping the new culling of particle specific effects. Tested and works as expected, including fixing the slowdowns caused by the aforementioned removal of smoke effect culls.
* Fix max Z speed when using ETS and engine damage tracking
Follow up for #5137 and #5292. This engine strength check thus needs to be added to all instances where `max_vel.xyz.z` is updated, so a function was created and added in respective locations. Fixes#5367.
* cleanup and adding validity assertations
* cleanup outdated comments
* might as well make the cleanup look nice
* update to account for more edge cases
* cleanup
This allows warp parameters to be specified in species_defs.tbl, rather than requiring them to be specified for each ship in ships.tbl. Since this introduces a cyclic dependency between species_defs.tbl and sounds.tbl, the parsing of sounds.tbl is broken into two stages.
Implements request from #5283.
* Add "no-first-wave-message" wing flag
For when you want custom dialogue for the first wave, and automatic announcements for the rest.
* Fix FRED macro name
Some message types had hard-coded occurrence chances. These have been removed, and the default occurrence chance for the corresponding type modified to compensate.
This initializes `mc_info` to the correct values when it is constructed, removing the need for `mc_info_init`.
This PR also fixes a group of incorrectly inverted assignments in beam.cpp.
`Roll_` and `Bank_` are synonyms, and the `Roll_` thruster flags should be `Yaw_` anyway, so rename them and rename their table strings. This still checks the old table strings for compatibility.
