Put my 32bit PCX loading under PCX_32 compile flag until its working.
Fixed a bug with res 640x480 I introduced with my non standard mode code.
Changed JPG and TGA loading command line param to "-t32"
and fixed a small error in the matrix code,
I told you it was indeed suposed to be gr_start_instance_matrix
in g3_done_instance,
g3_start_instance_angles needs to have an gr_ API abstraction version of it made
It doesnt use the backgrounds anymore but its still an improvement.
Currently it fogs to a brighter colour than it should because of Bob specular code.
I will fix this after discussing it with Bob.
Also tided up some D3D stuff, a cmdline variable name and changed a small bit of
the htl code to use the existing D3D engine instead of work around it.
And added extra information in version number on bottom left of frontend screen.
Commented out the "warning null vector in vector normalize" crap since we don't give a rats arse
Added "beam no whack" flag for beams - said beams NEVER whack
Some reliability updates in FS2NetD
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.
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
suport for seperate specular levels on lights and
optional strings for the stars table
code has been made more organised,
though there seems to be a bug in the state selecting code
resulting in the HUD being rendered incorectly
and specmapping failing ocasionaly
useing a phong lighting model I have made specular highlights
that are mapped to the model,
rendering them is still slow, but they look real purdy
also 4 new (untested) comand lines, the XX is a floating point value
-spec_exp XX
the n value, you can set this from 0 to 200 (actualy more than that, but this is the recomended range), it will make the highlights bigger or smaller, defalt is 16.0 so start playing around there
-spec_point XX
-spec_static XX
-spec_tube XX
these are factors for the three diferent types of lights that FS uses, defalt is 1.0,
static is the local stars,
point is weapons/explosions/warp in/outs,
tube is beam weapons,
for thouse of you who think any of these lights are too bright you can configure them you're self for personal satisfaction
collideshipweapon.cpp line 262, beam.cpp line 2771, and modelinterp.cpp line 2949.
it needs a better renderer, but is in prety good shape for now,
I also (think) I squashed a bug in the warpmodel code
