render ship insignia with a bit of alpha to help with blending/lighting
dynamic thruster particle limits
update for generic_bitmap/anim changes
make use of flag_def_list for ship flags rather than a ton of if-else statements
use generic_bitmap and generic_anim where possible to faciliate delayed graphics loading (after all ship related tbls are parsed)
use VALID_FNAME()
remove two old/unused MR flags (MR_ALWAYS_REDRAW, used for caching that doesn't work; MR_SHOW_DAMAGE, didn't do anything)
add MR_FULL_DETAIL to render an object regardless of render/detail box setting
change "model_current_LOD" to a global "Interp_detail_level" and the static "Interp_detail_level" to "Interp_detail_level_locked", a bit more descriptive
minor bits of cleanup
change a couple of vm_vec_scale_add2() calls to just vm_vec_add2() calls in ship.cpp, since that was the final result anyway
* remove a bunch of old/dead code
* some reformatting to help with readability
* rearrange/rename some code so that it is a little clearer
* move thruster glow code to it's own function (model_render_thrusters())
make HTL model buffers dynamic
fix detail boxes so that they actually work for the first time
deal with a index_buffer memory leak that Valgrind has always complained about
make HTL model buffers dynamic (get rid of MAX_BUFFERS_PER_SUBMODEL)
get rid of MAX_BUFFERS
make D3D vertex buffers dynamic, like OGL has already done
- don't alloc it for bmpman, and make sure to only call on textures that we are loading
- add text for model loading, gets rid of the long-wait issue when it appears to not be doing anything early on
- use MR_AUTOCENTER and MR_IS_MISSILE flags to generate an autocenter for a missile if one doesn't already exist
- don't try to autocenter loadout icons when rendered 3d
- put glowmap activity back on a per-ship basis (via a SF2_* flag) rather than per-model
- same for glowpoints, back on a per-ship basis
- put specmaps and bumpmap back on a LOD0 and LOD1 affect (got changed to LOD0 only recently)
- fix glowmaps for shockwaves again
- add support for animated specmaps (mainly for TBP and Starfox mods)
some minor code cleanup and compiler warning fixes
