This is similar to the other changes I already posted. Here the sound
instance handles are converted to their own handle type which will make
it easier to use the sound API.
I also fixed a few issues where the internal char array was used as a
mutable string which changed the string after it was parsed which is not
good(TM).
This also replaces all user-facing occurences of usages of name to use
the new function so that the correct, possibly translated, name is displayed
to the user.
This adds a new class which allows to create type safe resource handle
types. At the moment, the engine uses ints pretty much everywhere for
providing handles to resources created by the specific subsystems. Since
all ints are the same to the C/C++ typesystem it is perfectly legal to
pass a sound handle to the graphics API as a buffer handle which will
obviously cause issues.
This adds a new type called "ID" which is a wrapper class for a generic
handle but with added type safety. An instance of this class cannot be
passed to a function expecting another type of handle which provided
compile-time type safety for these APIs.
As an initial test I converted the game sound handles to this new type.
I already found a bug in the mainhall system thanks to this new type.
The mainhall used the game sound handles as sound instance handles which
probably meant that that specific code never really worked right. I
removed the code since there was no better alternative for fixing it.
Also adds code for detecting if the FreeTrack client is actually
reporting valid values. I only tested it with FaceTrackNoIR so it may
not work for other head trackers.
* Moves a camera lock statement into do_view_chase() to coincide with do_view_slew()'s style;
* Resets camera angles when transitioning into chase and external views from target padlock view;
* Adds VM_CENTERING to replace view_centering
* view_modify() now takes care of centering the view
* Reorganized view-related controls and logic to be cleaner
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.
I don't remember why I was reading this function, but I noticed that the "can_warp" and "warp_failed" variables didn't actually seem to be serving any purpose, and there was some redundant code in the PCM_WARPOUT_STAGE* case they were "used" in.
Allows the players ship to have a minimum speed set. If the ships speed
drops below this (per ship) value, the throttle is increased to the
minimum.
For ships that are gliding, their engines will be reactivated when the
ships overall velocity falls below the minimum speed.
Currently only sets a minimum Z speed, Y & X are ignored.
Instead of the mouse's axes being automatically bound to heading/pitch/throttle, it finds what the axes are bound to (by looking through Axis_map_to[]) and modifies the corresponding values.
MASSIVE thanks to Mjn.Mixael and Blue Planet for tireless constant testing.
(It's still not perfect, but it probably wouldn't be where it is at without them)
Spans a lot from initial commit to AP Branch in r6835.
