The shadows distances were tuned/added by swifty with the following logic:
`// these cascade distances are a result of some arbitrary tuning to give a good balance of quality and banding.`
Mods, especially TCs, may have very different sized ships compared to FS, and as such desire more precise control over shadow cascade distances.
This PR exposes those values with settings in the `game_settings.tbl`.
PR is tested and works as expected.
So #3007 is a larger bug than just trying to access the player's target. The real problem is that the game state is not changed from `GS_STATE_GAME_PLAY` during the mission load when restarting the mission. So the script thinks it's in the mission, tries to access the target and then crashes. But this won't be the only bug. Any script that tries to access data on Frame will run into possible problems on mission restart.
* Expose disposing FBO's (with the option to keep the Bitmap Alive) to scripting
* Modernize nullptr
* Moved RenderTarget clearing to own public API
* Fixed Obsolete Comment
* Fix bad deletion of FBOs
* Resolve Memory Leak
* Change FBO cleanup to not reuse old ID's
* FIx oversight
* FIx oversight 2
Since that function already has full support for UV scaling it makes
sense to unify the behavior in one function instead of having a separate
monochrome function that does weird things.
Also deprecates that function since all its use cases are now covered by
drawImage.
This will make it easier to have a graphics interface without relying on
global objects since the object can be kept alive in the function
object. No other functional changes since the existing syntax is also
valid for function objects.
This is basically the tutorial from vulkan-tutorial.com adapted to using
VulkanHpp and with some refactorings that extract some locigally
self-contained code.
Currently only draws a simple colored triangle.
* Fix underline length calculation in message scrollback
* Use SCP_string for message source (which allows ships with long display names to work without crashing) and message text
* Upgrade assorted functions to work with SCP_string
This is an effort to be able to use the same GLSL code for both Vulkan
and OpenGL. This is done by first compiling the Vulkan GLSL code to
SPIR-V and then using a custom tool (which uses SPIRV-Cross) to convert
that back into GLSL 1.50 compatible code.
The required tool will be downloaded by CMake when glslc is found in the
path. This is included in the Vulkan SDK. To avoid having a hard
dependency on this, the generated files are included in the VCS and are
only regenerated when glslc is found on the system.
1. Stores the filename from the table Parser into the font struct so we can lookup fonts via their filename.
2. Allow "+Special Character Font:" to specify the first entry with the same filename's special character index for their own special character index, provide a default if not, and allow the moddert to specify them manually, but do not override already recorded values if the default is picked in order to protect retail behavior.
3. Vectorize Special Character Indexes, so that we don't have a table limit that will randomly crash FSO based on what table you happened to write! Woohoo!
This adds the Vulkan code for choosing a physical device, creating a
logical device from that and then initializing a swap chain.
This also contains code for filling out the graphics API pointers with
stub functions so that the API functions can be developed gradually.
These changes allow FSO to "run" with Vulkan but nothing is rendered
yet.
This can be used for producing even leaner builds for standalone
servers. It also provides a nice architecture verification since now
using internal OpenGL functions will cause a compilation or linking
failure.
This emulates the "scrolling text" effect that is present in briefings.
It is not exactly the same since it just goes pixel wise and not by
character but it looks good enough.
Standalones would crash if they had an error dialog pop up because of a nullptr. This just checks for the nullptr and returns early to prevent the crash.
This adds access to the command briefing data parsed from the mission
file to the scripting API so it can be used by the UI scripts for the
high res UI.
Also switches the animation support to using the generic anim to use
streaming to improve performance.
This adds a mechanism for running generic operations at specific points
of the frame execution. This can be used by any part of the code an not
just Lua since it simply executes std::functions. It also adds an
"execution context" concept that specifies in which situation an
operation should be executed.
This is then used by the Lua Coroutines code for resuming coroutines at
specific points instead of always when the awaited promise resolves.
This can be used by Lua code to trace the runtime of their code in the
same way the engine already is capable of doing for most in-mission and
mission loading code.
Also adds some tracing scopes to the libRocket code
