- support compaign descriptions (Mantis 1826)
- allow sending multiple packets to get entire description
- update description of selected game on join screen if needed
This is a minor follow-up to PR #2390. There are a few minor differences between untranslated strings and the internal strings in strings.tbl; this PR fixes them.
Certain mods provide their own tstrings.tbl, but this runs into trouble when you localize data meant for one mod using a tstrings.tbl meant for another mod. See the Mantis ticket:
http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/view.php?id=2942
and also the HLP post:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=85041.msg1716600#msg1716600
This PR adds an optional flag that will check the untranslated string against the "default language" translated string. The two strings should be identical. If they aren't, the code assumes there is a tstrings.tbl mismatch.
I modified the mission listing code to enable this check when localizing mission info (titles and descriptions), and to avoid adding the mission to the list if there is a mismatch. Fortunately, I think mission listing is the only place where this bug is likely to happen.
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.
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.
Fix calculations of server ping in in-game server list. Minimize floating
point calculations, using double instead of float, avoid calling timer
twice when receiving pong, and capture pong time more precisely.
Remove support for the IPX protocol. The IPX selector button in the multi
options menu is now hidden, and the TCP button is disabled since there is no other option.
Also includes support for more than two mainhall resolutions, zooming
so one mainhall can adapt to multiple resolutions, setting new mainhall
fonts, help overlays for all resolutions and adjustable tooltip padding.
Also allows preload screens to be any resolution & aspect ratio.

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.
