cell shadeing has been added activated via the comand line '-cell',
3D shockwave models, and a transparency method I'm calling edge and center alpha that could be usefull for other things, ask for details
suport for seperate specular levels on lights and
optional strings for the stars table
code has been made more organised,
though there seems to be a bug in the state selecting code
resulting in the HUD being rendered incorectly
and specmapping failing ocasionaly
useing a phong lighting model I have made specular highlights
that are mapped to the model,
rendering them is still slow, but they look real purdy
also 4 new (untested) comand lines, the XX is a floating point value
-spec_exp XX
the n value, you can set this from 0 to 200 (actualy more than that, but this is the recomended range), it will make the highlights bigger or smaller, defalt is 16.0 so start playing around there
-spec_point XX
-spec_static XX
-spec_tube XX
these are factors for the three diferent types of lights that FS uses, defalt is 1.0,
static is the local stars,
point is weapons/explosions/warp in/outs,
tube is beam weapons,
for thouse of you who think any of these lights are too bright you can configure them you're self for personal satisfaction
also there is some debug code for changeing the FOV in game,
and I have some changes to the init code to try and get a 32 or 24 bit back buffer
if posable, this may cause problems for people
the changes were all marked and if needed can be undone
Added timer bar code, by default its not compiled in.
Use TIMEBAR_ACTIVE in project and dependancy code settings to activate.
Added the new timebar files with the new code.
Very small change in 'gr_d3d_aabitmap_ex_internal'
