add a central parse_modular_table() function which anything can use
fix up weapon_expl so that it can properly handle modular tables and LOD count changes
add support for for a fireball TBM (handled a little different than a normal TBM is since it only changes rather than adds)
basic code cleanup (that previous braces change did nothing for readability)
spell "plyr" correctly
tweak warp shrink time to better match WMC's other changes and avoid the skipping during shrink
- very minor performance boost from not doing stupid things :)
- minor change to 3d shockwave sizing to better approximate 2d effect movements
- for shields, Gobal_tris was only holding half as many as the game can/will use, buffer is now set to full size to avoid possible rendering issues
- removed extra tcache_set on OGL spec map code, not sure how that slipped in
add lab stuff to Makefile
build unbreakage for everything that's not MSVC++ 6
lots of warning fixes
fix OpenGL rendering problem with ship insignias
no Warnings() in non-debug mode for Linux (like Windows)
some campaign savefile fixage to stop reverting everyones data
have the warp effect only load as many LODs as will get used
head off strange bug in release when corrupt soundtrack number gets used
(will still Assert in debug)
don't ever try and save a campaign savefile in multi or standalone modes
first try at 32bit->16bit color conversion for TGA code (for TGA only ship textures)
OGL can take advantage of this if they want but it won't break
anything if they don't. also state block code has been implemented,
that's totaly internal to D3D no high level code is involved.
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.
still needs a lot of work, ubt the frame rates were getting with it are incredable
the biggest problem it still has is a bad lightmanegment system, and the zbuffer
doesn't work well with things still getting rendered useing the sofware pipeline, like thrusters,
and weapons, I think these should be modifyed to be sent through hardware,
it would be slightly faster and it would likely fix the problem
also the thruster glow/particle stuff I did is now in.
