Although not used very often, ai_info.target_signature should be set to -1 whenever no target is specified, just like everywhere else to make sure that the code is as predictable as possible.
(Found while trying to figure out why the heck would the Object update packet send this at all??)
This does some refactoring to make it possible to cimpile and run FSO
without needing to link to FFmpeg. Since that eliminates support for
cutscenes or sound this is mostly useful for running a standalone server
which has no need for this anyway.
This reduces the image size of the standalone Docker image to only 20MB
and also resolves any licensing issues that might have existed.
The largest new feature is that it is now possible to include other
files into the RML by using the "include" tag. This is useful for making
markup files more modular.
Also added some more options for existing things (e.g. built-in detail
options).
Previously deprecated enum for hasViewmode() lua function didn't have a warning. This fixes that.
Also, I am adding a check to ignore it while writing scripting.hmtl.
This adds JSON as an additional scripting documentation output format.
This can be used by external tools to examine the scripting
documentation and generate interface declarations or documentation for
any language. The existing documentation code is left largely in place.
This allows to mark certain functions or virtvars to be declared as
"deprecated" starting with a specific engine version. What this means is
that a special message will be added to the documentation stating since
when the function is deprecated and can contain an optional message. The
actual enforcement of the deprecation depends on the target version of
the mod so that we can stay backwards compatible.
If the mod supports the version since when the function is deprecated,
it will not be added to the Lua state which means that it doesn't exist
for the calling script. If the targetted version is before the stated
version, the function will still be added to the Lua state.
As the first function to use this feature, I have deprecated
createParticle in the testing library and moved it to the graphics
library with a new name reflecting that it creates a persistent
particle. I also added the corresponding function for adding a
non-persistent particle.
Fixes a minor bug that incorrectly draws Rectangles to a scripted HUD gauge. The third and fourht arguments needed to be width and heigth, not x2 and y2.
This adds the following functions to the scripted gauge API: drawCircle, drawRect, and drawLine. Also note that I created an additional function, for HUDGauge:renderCircle_unfilled, becuase the precedent shown by having two functions for `gr_unfilled_circle` and `gr_circle` and adding a fourth argument to `renderCircle` seemed to affect a lot of other functions.
The new gauge can be accessed by the scripting API with which a function
can be set which will be called when this gauge is rendered. This can be
used for exposing the HUD gauge positioning and RTT options to the
scripting API without a lot of work needed for the script writer.
There is currently only one rendering function implemented since this is
only a proof of concept.
Switch from 3x specific is_arriving functions to a single with params
Change flag names; replace "ndl" with "dock_follower"
Change dock-arrival helpers to not set follower flag on leaders
This PR fixes a bug where an invalid lua font handle would not be properly returned as invalid. An invalid handle is returned properly if the font name is invalid, but not if the index is invalid, thus this PR fixes that.
This is a system for storing arbitrary data in the config file and then
easily retrieving it later on. This has full Lua support for exposing
the available options in a custom UI and changing the values of the
options. This ported some of the existing command line options over to
the new system which is opt-in for the moment by using a mod_table flag.
This adds some auto-closing code to the scripting API of the CFile
system. If a file has to be auto-closed then an error will be displayed
to let the the script writer know that something is wrong.
This should not break existing scripts since causing file handle leaks
should never happen and if it does, this will make it easier to find
these issues.
There's a number of issues fixed here:
* Radar blips of docked ships were the wrong colour in stage 1
* You could target docked ships in stage 1
* Docked ships thrusters were visible in stage 1
* Hyperspace warptype ship could initially appear at their
warp-destination, then spring back to the correct location to complete
the rest of their warpin (because a docked ship had higher speed than
the dock leader)
There may also be a number of other subtle bugs with docked warpin;
e.g. I suspect (but haven't tested) that AI turrets could fire on
docked ships during warpin
These should also be fixed
Lastly, fixes issue #1867
