and the foundations of a submodel animation system,
the calls to the animation triggering code (exept the procesing code,
wich shouldn't do anything without the triggering code)
have been commented out.
added new ai directive (last commit) and disabled afterburners while performing AIM_WAYPOINTS or AIM_FLY_TO_SHIP
fixed player ship speed bug w/ player-use-ai, now stays in formation correctly and manages speed
made -radar_reduce ignore itself if no parameter is given (ignoring launcher bug)
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.
--turrets will not fire at cargo
--MAX_SHIELD_SECTIONS substituted for the number 4 in many places
--supercaps have their own default message bitfields (distinguished from capships)
--turrets are allowed on fighters
--jump speed capped at 65m/s, to avoid ship travelling too far
--non-huge weapons now scale their damage, instead of arbitrarily cutting off

cell shadeing has been added activated via the comand line '-cell',
3D shockwave models, and a transparency method I'm calling edge and center alpha that could be usefull for other things, ask for details
Fixed the 'black screen around dialog boxes' problem and also the much more serious freezing problem experienced by Goober5000. It wasn't a crash, just an infinite loop. DX8 merge is GO! once again :)
