This introduces type parsing for all types used within the scripting
documentation. This improves the generated JSON output and also
validates new code via the unit test.
This is a follow-up to #2390. Retail used a weird hybrid approach where internal strings were translated but external strings were not. This restores that behavior by adding another language, LCL_RETAIL_HYBRID, which is the default. The game can still be run in completely untranslated or completely translated mode.
All three modes have been tested and translate strings, or not, as expected. The `$Use tabled strings for the default language:` flag has also been tested and still works.
This was 20.1 since I erronously thought that the "current" nightly
version was lower than that. This updates the version to a release that
has not been built yet.
Since that function already has full support for UV scaling it makes
sense to unify the behavior in one function instead of having a separate
monochrome function that does weird things.
Also deprecates that function since all its use cases are now covered by
drawImage.
This was the last thing that was missing for complete support of all
function parameter declarations.
To ensure parameter lists stay valid a unit test was added that will
validate the argument lists and cause the test to fail if they cannot be
parsed.
Previously, if a script called a function that called another scripting
hook, some hook variables might be removed. This was the case since
after executing the hook the code would remove the set hook variables
again. If these variables had the same name as previously set variables,
they would overwrite and corrupt the state the original script expected.
This was unexpected behavior for script writers so this puts values on a
stack and only adds or removes from the stack instead of overwriting
values. This should make the hook variable state consistent for scripts
even if scripting hooks are called indirectly.
This can be used by script code for reliably storing Lua values without
having to build a custom serialization format.
The C++ code can also be used by other code modules that want to
serialize data. The new classes simply return a byte array with an
unspecified format.
At the moment this uses a plain JSON encoding but could be extended in
the future to include either compression or BSON encoding if necessary.
The format is future compatible by using a simple header to identify
different kinds of formats.
Collision groups as previously coded were unusable due to Lua 5.1's lack of support for bitwise operators. This fixes that deficiency in two ways:
1) Objects now have the functions `addToCollisionGroup` and `removeFromCollisionGroup`
2) An `evaluateNumericSEXP` function has been added for returning SEXP results as numbers (so that the bitwise SEXP operators can be used)
The previous system was kind of hacky and made things a bit inflexible.
This improves that system quite a bit and also adds unit tests for the
hook variable functionality.
This can be used for producing even leaner builds for standalone
servers. It also provides a nice architecture verification since now
using internal OpenGL functions will cause a compilation or linking
failure.
