This converts all usages of bmpman textures to OpenGL texture arrays.
That means that all frames of an animation are stored in a single OpenGL
texture object and can be accessed at the same time in a single draw
call. This should significantly reduce the overhead of drawing lots of
particles since all particles of a single animation can be drawn with a
single draw call.
This fixes#1169.
Thanks to the new material system, it's now possible to easily make the
2D functions independent of the underlying graphics API which allows to
reduce the size of the gr_screen 2D API.
beam_pause_sounds() "pauses" looping beam sounds by setting their volume to 0; beam_unpause_sounds() "unpaused" by calling beam_recalc_sounds(), which only set the volume correctly when -no_3d_sound is set; 3D sound updates the sound's position without changing its volume. This PR just makes beam_unpause_sounds() perform the inverse operation of beam_pause_sounds() if 3D sounds are enabled.
Adds a new "+Pulse Interval:" countermeasure field that enables the new behavior; all countermeasures that don't have this field defined still use the old behavior of the global frame counter.
This changes countermeasure logic quite a bit, but I attempted to mitigate performance implications by re-using an existing traversal of the object list in order to build the list of active countermeasures each frame. If any countermeasures are actively pulsing in a frame, the object list is traversed again, looking for homing weapons. Each homing weapon then goes through the active countermeasure list and checks to see if it got decoyed. Most of this central logic is unchanged from the old behavior, although no longer separated into two functions, and it should be more efficient since it's using a prepared list of active countermeasures instead of traversing the object list looking for countermeasures for every homing missile (which are themselves found by traversing the object list).
It serves no purpose there since it's a message specifically designed to
be seen by modders and most times the stack trace doesn't even contain
useful information since there are no debug symbols present.
If the asteroid split rules were used and the asteroid speed happened to be 0 (for example if the field has an average speed of 0), the code would try to normalize a null vector. Now, a random vector is chosen in those cases.
Currently, the graphics code does some color remapping on 8
bit-per-pixel textures since those textures use special 4-bit pixel
values. These changes move that conversion out of the graphics code and
into the image loading/font bitmap creation code.
The reason this is needed is because this conversion breaks 8-bit
textures that try to use the full range of colors. I need to do exactly
that for moving the cutscene renderer to our generic rendering interface
which I can't do at the moment since the existing color conversion
corrupts the video data.
I have tested this with retail data and could not find any visual
changes after applying these changes.
SDL_HapticStopAll stops all effects, including the spring effect so the
joystick goes limp after one mission (joy_ff_stop_effects gets called at
the end of each mission).
This restarts the spring effect which should fix that issue.
This fixes#1417.
This adds a small system for letting a mod specify which version of FSO
was designed for. That would allow us to introduce code which would
normally break backwards-compatibility by putting it in an if block
which checks if the mod supports the FSO version which ontroduced the
behavioral change.
There is currently no code which uses the new functions yet so I added a
few tests to verify that the options do what they are designed to do.
This fixes#1389.
