Mostly renaming of fields and functions, and moving some modelread sections into functions. This reorganization will put the code on a better footing for the model translation feature. No model translation code is included yet, and there should be no change in functionality.
There are a few related improvements here:
1) Add a new function for iterating over the submodel hierarchy
2) Add a counterpart to the `subobj_num` field so that a submodel can refer to its ship_info subsystem
3) Update `ship_model_replicate_submodels` to replicate all movable submodels, even the ones that aren't associated with subsystems
Fixes#3967
By anchoring a dockpoint to a submodel, the dockpoint will move when the submodel moves. Historically this has been done by inspecting the path associated with a dockpoint, but this method will not work if there is no path or no rotation mode specified. Here is an alternate method that allows the submodel to be specified explicitly through a dockpoint property.
* Split glow current brightness calculation into a new function for reuse and clarity
* Readability cleanup pass on model_render_get_point_activation
* created a new code path to add the lights for the player's ships' glowpoints without rendering their sprites.
* cleaning up unused args from new glowpoint functions
* cleanup redundant externs
* Documentation and naming pass
* Add C++11 std::any implementation
* Add basic moveable functionality
* Add rotation moveable
* Revise Segment Parsing Register
Because apparently, the linker and I disagree on which symbols should be discarded when linked into the final application...
* Fix small problems
* Address feedback
* Address feedback 2
* Change animation turret canonicalization to now correctly calculate the closest natual turret positon
* Add angle error to vm function for convenience
* Div by Zero safety for non IEEE compliant systems
* Incorporate style changes
* Switch Multimsg to use netsig for animations
* Unique-ify animation ID's
* Clang Tidy
* Implement first suggestions
* Implement suggestions 2
* Add get model instance safeguard
Previous code allocated 4x bsp_data_size for alignment, whether it was
needed or not. Now it should allocate slightly more than 2x and only if
alignment is required.
1) Changes the submodel flags to use a flagset instead of several booleans
2) Adds `rotate_accel` to allow submodel rotation acceleration to be specified
Submodel acceleration can now be instant; dumb-rotating submodels always instantly accelerate (and have always done so)
* Scale distant combat related effects so they stay visible
- Effects scaled so that they always maintain a minimum pixel size
- Supports lasers, beams, all trails, muzzle flashes, and thrusters
- Disabled by default, but can be configured through the game_settings.tbl
* Added comments clarifying when min pixel size scaling happens.
* Convert some NULLs to nullptr to make CLANG happy
