* Object Update Refactor
1. Keeps the object update packet aligned, even if the ship is dying or has not yet arrived on the client.
2. Properly handles model point shields (yes, that's what was causing multi to crash the most!)
3. Reworks positional interpolation timing and adds rotational interpolation, by sending timing information with every object update packet in a header shared between objects.
4. Saves a lot of bandwidth by only sending data that is changing. (no more sending all subsystems once per second!)
5. Better handles out of order packets (but can still use their information if recent enough!)
6. Builds the basis for Rollback by beginning to record the positions and orientations and velocities of ships for the last 30 frames.
7. Adds subsystem rotation -- Yeah, you saw that right, subsystems will now spin in multi.
8. Waypoint movement is now enabled via sexp, and time to arrival of waypoints is updated on the target info gauge.
* Fix edge case crash and Incorporate feedback
* Clean Up Interpolate Angles Quick
* Restrain the client
* How was this still here???
* Make sure every part of OO uses OOC_INDEX_NULLPTR_SUBSYSTEM define
* Fix Way to Store Return Values
* Ok travis, we get it
* Ok travis.........
Team Leader function was returning 0 instead of 1 when the team captain was messaging AI.
This optimizes, cleans up, and gets rid of edge-case buggy behaviour. Thank you ship_registry!
The standalone did not initialize SDL and so did not receive the quit
signal when it was sent SIGTERM or SIGINT. This fixes that by making the
standalone server just use the normal os initialization code.
Also includes some other code cleanup and some more logging to make it
more apparent in the log what is currently happening at standalone
startup.
Should fix rare multi crash where reserving net signatures for spawened munitions would cause an ushort overflow, triggering an assert in multi_set_network_signature.
Turns out we can just remove the assert, and just guarantee that signature is going to be in the required range.
Squash history:
1. Improve Assertions (as per Taylor's suggestion) and reconfigure Int3
2. Wording change on last assertion
Removes about half of the Int3()'s in multiutil.cpp by making Assertions more robust, changing two functions to void type (because there was no way to get an error value from them, anyway), and adding two Verify()'s in case we ever decide to start using the multi variable change functions.
Squash History:
1) Forgot to change one Assert to Assertion
2) Change Verify to Assertion, because of better argument support.
3) Fix a couple copy paste errors
Just a quick PR to make multiutil slightly more readable by removing one unused function (whose functionality is already in the object update packet), two globals which we only increment and we do nothing with, and some defines that have been commented out because the size returned can actually vary.
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 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.
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.
A memory location at a negative offset from the beginning of the array will be read, resulting in incorrect values.
In multi_create_standalone_object(): Negative value used to index an array in a read operation
observer_create() will only fail in exceptional circumstances so a showing an error dialog should be acceptable
Converts Ship_info from a ship_info[] to an SCP_vector<ship_info>. ship_info now has proper constructors, assignment operators, and a destructor. Num_ship_classes removed; various references to Num_ship_classes and/or MAX_SHIP_CLASSES (which remains for various other structures which need it) changed to Ship_info.size() instead.
This doesn't make the ship class limit dynamic, but it is a preparatory step to get there.
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.
