This adds the capability to have a Lua script that does not need to use
our table syntax at all but instead defines the hooks by calling API
functions. This also makes it possible to add hook functions at runtime
if the script requires that.
Also clean up some unused debug stuff.
This will make it easier to get logs from FSO running in a docker
container since logging to stdout is the easiest solution there.
Also includes some other changes that will make this work better in
Docker containers.
This adds proper Unicode support by allowing the parse system to read
UTF-8 encoded files. The new mode is controlled by a mod option which
allows older mods to continue using the legacy text encoding.
That option changes the behavior of several systems in FSO. It disallows
the usage of Volition fonts since they don't support Unicode encoding
and changes a few usages of special characters to their unicode
counterparts of generic rendering solutions.
This fixes#1415.
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 descripting of a weapon is too long it would currently cause a
very unhelpful assertion message. This fixes that by checking the length
of the lines when parsing the weapon description. I removed the
assertions since the string is just cut of if it is too long so that
fixes the actual assertion.
I also added two unit tests for making sure that too long descriptions
cause warnings.
I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct way to do the computation
but I see no other way of fixing it but since the zero vector is a valid
value for the relative velocity this seems to be the most sensible
solution.
Also, related to this I found out that FSO causes a lot of NaN errors at
runtime which may need to be investigated at some point to make sure
they don't cause issues like this bug.
If the -noninteractive command line option is set then dialogs won't be
shown and the default action is taken. This should be useful for
the standalone server.
