- get an average color from the palette rather than picking first (unoptimized palettes could have unused pixels in first entry)
- slight cleanup, and s/colour/color/ (yeah, stupid American, deal with it! :))
add -img2dds support
cleanup some D3D stuff (missing a lot since the old code is so unstable I couldn't get it working like I wanted)
some minor OGL cleanup and small performance changes
converge the various pcx_read_bitmap* functions into one
cleanup/rename/remove some cmdline options
and this makes it so much easier to realize that
properly deal with the fact that objnum can be -1 in model_really_render()
add NULL check to neb2_get_fog_values() so that it can just send back defaults if objp is NULL
small compiler warning fix for neb code
Set laser function to only render the effect one sided.
Added some stuff to the credits.
Set D3D fogging to fall back to vertex fog if table fog not supported.
OK, these changes effect a lot of file, I suggest everyone updates ASAP:
Removal of many files from project.
Removal of meanless Gr_bitmap_poly variable.
Removal of glide, directdraw, software modules all links to them, and all code specific to those paths.
Removal of redundant Fred paths that arent needed for Fred OGL.
Have seriously tidied the graphics initialisation code and added generic non standard mode functionality.
Fixed many D3D non standard mode bugs and brought OGL up to the same level.
Removed texture section support for D3D8, voodoo 2 and 3 cards will no longer run under fs2_open in D3D, same goes for any card with a maximum texture size less than 1024.
Simulated speech doesnt say tags marked by $ now.
The following are fixes to issues that came up testing TBP in fs2_open and fred2_open:
Changed vm_vec_mag and parse_tmap to fail gracefully on bad data.
Error now given on missing briefing icon and bad ship normal data.
Solved more species divide by zero error.
Fixed neb cube crash.
Added stats command for ingame stats on memory usage.
Trys to play intro.mve and intro.avi, just to be safe since its not set by table.
Added fix for fonts wrapping round in non standard hi res modes.
Changed D3D mipmapping to a good value to suit htl mode.
Added new fog colour method which makes use of the bitmap, making this htl feature backcompatible again.
Made some commandline variables fit the naming standard.
Changed timerbar system not to run pushes and pops if its not in use.
Put in a note about not uncommenting asserts.
Fixed up a lot of missing POP's on early returns?
Perhaps the motivation for Assert functionality getting commented out?
Fixed up some bad asserts.
Changed nebula poofs to render in 2D in htl, it makes it look how it used to in non htl. (neb.cpp,1248)
Before the poofs were creating a nasty stripe effect where they intersected with ships hulls.
Put in a special check for the signs of that D3D init bug I need to lock down.
started work on fixing the node model not rendering,
but most of that got commented out so I wouldn't have to deal with it
while mucking about with the polylist
