Remarkable that we're still finding bugs in fighter beams after 20 years...
Since field-of-fire angles are specified in degrees, and `cosf` accepts radians, the angle needs to be converted (and then halved, per usage elsewhere). Although this is a bugfix, this should technically not affect fighter beam behavior because fighter beams always fire down their normals.
When iterating through `Ship_obj_list`, check the `Should_be_dead` flag before using the object. This fixes#4990 and adds defense-in-depth checks to guard against similar errors elsewhere.
I considered moving the `Ship_obj_list` removal from `obj_delete` to `ship_cleanup`, but decided it would be prudent to avoid fundamental changes to lifecycle management.
* Enable clients to move turrets
This allows clients to user server data to move turrets according to the timing and target data on the server. Uses a small packet to do so.
* Modular medals table
* Remove Num_medals completely
* Handle badges out of order and allow setting of masks to handle mask indecies out of order
* const const const
* qtFRED
* address feedback
* add subsystem indexer and ensure that ship_get_indexed_subsys and ship_get_first_subsys are independent
* also add reverse lookup from subsys to index
* update indexer to accommodate subsystem pointers being changed
* use clearer function names, and fix the type of subsys_list_indexer
* add assertions
* address latest feedbcak
A bit overkill for some of this but just covering the bases.
* fix issues with in-game join
* fix multi messaging and multi pause screen
* make sure maintenance stuff (pings, voice, file xfer, etc.) isn't
affected by pausing or time compression
There is a bit of code that detonates a missile if it misses impacting on a subsystem. On Nyctaeus's Arachnas model, missiles could reach the center point of the main beam turret submodel without actually hitting any part of the submodel. The fail-safe code would set the missile to detonate in that case, but on low-FPS systems the weapon would be able to actually hit the turret before it detonated. On high-FPS systems, there is a clean miss.
This reworks the code to delay the missile detonation until it reaches the other side of the submodel, so it has time to hit some other part of it. It also reduces the detonation time from 1/100 of a second (which is more than one frame on 120 FPS systems) to 1/1000 of a second (which is always less than one frame).
* 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
When a ship is killed via scripting, the killer should be credited for the kill in the mission log and the correct hull percentage should be used. Also, the script should work with either the ship or its weapon passed as the killer parameter.
* wip
* basics are working
* turret case is handled
* better fighter beam handling
* missing commit?
* handle missile spawn
* clean up, commenting and ssb handling
* random in sphere and per burst rot counts for "share random" flag
* clean up, clarity and comments
* accidental whitespace changes
* bugfix
* NULL -> nullptr
* more efficiency/clarity
* review tweaks and bugfixes
* Allow Text to show failure on Clients
Function was accidentally returning false before sending an update on failure.
* Play directive sounds for clients
This adds a short client version of the function that initiates the directive completion sound.
* forgot to remove a failed experiment
Implements send-message-chain as described in issue #3185. Also fixes the default argument for message priority, and mirrors the default argument fix to qtFRED.
