Original behavior in Fred was accidentally removed when upgrading the FSO mission parser to keep it from crashing FSO from a bad sexp. But returning false is only necessary in FSO since in FRED, we can fix the error once we know about it.
Extremely rare bug caused by use of multiple protect from weapon flags. One of the Ai-Turret functions was setting only one of the flags because "else if" was typed instead of "if".
Coverity spotted this dead code. Looks like the original coder forgot that they had checked for !p already or was a case of mindless copy-pasting code..
Because of
pcode = strchr(p,' ')+1;
it looks like it really is safe to remove.
This allows to mark certain functions or virtvars to be declared as
"deprecated" starting with a specific engine version. What this means is
that a special message will be added to the documentation stating since
when the function is deprecated and can contain an optional message. The
actual enforcement of the deprecation depends on the target version of
the mod so that we can stay backwards compatible.
If the mod supports the version since when the function is deprecated,
it will not be added to the Lua state which means that it doesn't exist
for the calling script. If the targetted version is before the stated
version, the function will still be added to the Lua state.
As the first function to use this feature, I have deprecated
createParticle in the testing library and moved it to the graphics
library with a new name reflecting that it creates a persistent
particle. I also added the corresponding function for adding a
non-persistent particle.
Previously if the 3D_weapon flag was used it would always create a weapon icon and overrride any pre-existing icons the modder would specify. This PR fixes that by adding an extra set of conditionals, which specify if a weapon has an icon file name then it should be used, and if the weapon does not have an `$Anim:` but does have a model then that model should be used if the 3D_weapon flag is enabled.
This PR adds a table entry that allows modders to specify the RGBI values for the damage and emp arc colors (which were previosuly hardcoded).
This option adds the table entry to `Game_settings.tbl` under `#Graphic Settings` with the lines:
```
$EMP Arc Color:
+Primary Color Option 1: rgb
+Primary Color Option 2: rgb
+Secondary Color Option 1: rgb
$Damage Arc Color:
+Primary Color Option 1: rgb
+Primary Color Option 2: rgb
+Secondary Color Option 1: rgb
```
This PR allows modders to set, on a per-ship class basis, the fields for what hull and shiled integrity the AI wingmen send the "Help" message at. One good use case is when ships have low hitpoints, thus now the modder can set AI can call for help sooner then at simply 30% hull.
