- replaces all arrays with SCP_vectors
- replaces all c-strings with SCP_strings
- depreciates +Misc Anim Handles: and +Misc Anim Flags: because they are just cruft
-- +Misc Anim Handles: has not been hooked up for years
-- +Misc Anim Flags: are dealt with automatically
(Note: It seems I got Notepad++ to convert ushort and uint into "unsigned" short and int. Doesn't break anything and frankly, I hate unnecessary typedefs anyway).
Adds PNG to Maps (should only be used for Nameplates), Interface, Effects, HUD (still needs HUD Rewrite to implement), Player/Squad Images, Multi Players, Multi Cache, CB Anims and Intel Anims.
LIBPNG: Version 1.2.42, current and highest usable version (MAX_VERSION), Linux can use any 1.2.2x-1.2.42, but should NOT use 1.4.0 under any platform for ANY reason (will require rewriting pngutils)
ZLIB: Version 1.2.3.
- Add On Mission Start, On Mission End hooks; swap Warpin and Warpout to Warp In and Warp Out
- Safer handle helper structs
- Improved math, eg matrix interpolation and vector multiply/divide
- Filesystem read AND write support
- Initial scripting orders support
- Better waypoints support
- Assorted requested scripting functions
bmpman:
- Safer bm_get_filename
cfile:
- Support for RW, rather than just R or W, file modes.
model:
- Safer texture_info struct. Taylor, I know we talked about this, but I realized that it was just a lot better for what it does and it shouldn't be too much trouble to replace with the new system (operations tend to be much more concise and clear). Let me know if any unexpected difficulties arise.
be sure to clean all three possible buffers with OGL init
fix a couple of bmpman loading bugs that messed up animations
fix bmpman bug that didn't properly account for free'd texture ram count with unload_fast
better texture memory handling (a work in-progress)
new image finding/loading
get rid of -pcx32 and -jpgtga
change the game_busy() reporting during bitmap page-in to only catch one frame of an animation
fix numerous little bugs in gropenglbmpman relating to -img2dds
- don't alloc it for bmpman, and make sure to only call on textures that we are loading
- add text for model loading, gets rid of the long-wait issue when it appears to not be doing anything early on
bm_load_sub_fast() doesn't need to lowercase filenames, so don't
byte-swap 16-bit DDS on big endian (they still don't look right though)
update bm_has_alpha_channel() to be less dumb
newer OpenGL extension support
add GL_ARB_texture_rectangle support for non-power-of-2 textures as interface graphics
add cubemap reading and writing support to DDS loader
fix bug in DDS loader that made compressed images with mipmaps use more memory than they really required
add support for a default envmap named "cubemap.dds"
new mission flag "$Environment Map:" to use a pre-existing envmap
minor cleanup of compiler warning messages
get rid of wasteful math from gr_set_proj_matrix()
remove extra gr_set_*_matrix() calls from starfield.cpp as there was no longer a reason for them to be there
clean up bmpman flags in reguards to cubemaps and render targets
disable D3D envmap code until it can be upgraded to current level of code
remove bumpmap code from OpenGL stuff (sorry but it was getting in the way, if it was more than copy-paste it would be worth keeping)
replace gluPerspective() call with glFrustum() call, it's a lot less math this way and saves the extra function call
add a pause/unpause for parsing so that we can safely start parsing something new then continue parsing something old
make Mission_text and Mission_text_raw only use the memory needed, and free it when it doesn't need to parse anymore
(should work ok with FRED2, but I wasn't able to test it)
