* Add Mod Option to Limit 'Show Ship' when Toggling Cockpits
FotG uses cockpits and 'show ship', and also provides a way for players to toggle off cockpits. Unfortunately, if the player disables cockpits, 'show ship' still appears and looks very odd (since it appears the player is flying a ship with a hole in the center where the cockpit would be). Other mods have made entire ships with their cockpits, but FotG needs to use 'show ship' to match team colors and moving external ship animations.
This PR adds a game_settings option that allows mods to set to only use 'show ship' if cockpits are enabled.
Tested and works as expected.
* simplify logic
* fix typo
* base working version of unlimited debris types
* Proper FRED support
* make qtFRED handle asteroids properly
* fix qtFRED assertion
* further clean out MAX_RETAIL_DEBRIS_TYPES
* These should be sizes not POFs
* Move this to it's own method
* convert asteroid subtypes to a vector
* unlimit asteroid subtypes
* fix some global shadowing
* signed/unsigned mismatch
* Address feedback
* Add deferred cockpit lighting
* Put deferred Cockpits behind a flag
* (hopefully) fix bad in-case initializer
* clear non base color buffer in subsequent deferred passes
* Proper deferred Cockpit rendering
* undo whitespace changes
Specifying the fog rendering options is now handled by the materials
system and the implementation of gr_set_fog was pretty much empty so I
removed it.
This allows to render screen space decals into the deferred lighting
buffers no matter how complex the underlying geometry is.
Currently there is only limited support for using this in the engine.
Only weapon impact decals are supported at the moment for testing
purposes.
There is nothing specific to OpenGL in that code anymore since it's all
handled in the shaders at this point. This will make the lighting
information available in the normal graphics code which allows to use
those values when filling the uniform buffer for the model rendering.
The new design is centered around the Event Trace JSON format but it
should still be possible to adapt it for other profiling tools. The old
profiling system has been removed.
This fixes a few of the bad design descisions of previous shader
iterations. This uses a dedicated class for managing the resources and
uniform locations of a shader program.
Uniforms are also stored in this object which makes a lot more sense
than storing them in the OpenGL state where they had to be reset every
time a new shader was used.
There are still a lot of possible enhancments to make, e.g. by using
uniform blocks and buffers instead of standard uniforms which would make
uniform location handling easier.
Another optimization that I will investigate is reducing the amount or
different compiled shaders by turning some of the current compile-time
defines into bool uniforms.
This uses GL_KHR_debug for exposing debug group information. This is
very useful for tools like apitrace where it's used for assiciating
OpenGL commands with a specific application function.
The groups are created using a utility macro which is removed in release
builds so it should have no impact on the release performance.
This introduces a new mechanism for handling bit flags. Instead of using an int (or two, or three) to write bits into, this uses the std::bitset in a wrapper class that accepts an enum class as input. This means that certain classes of errors we've had a few of in the engine, where a coder used the wrong set of flags or checked them against the wrong variable (SF_STEALTH vs SIF_STEALTH, for example) can now be detected at a compiler level rather than not at all.
