1) Changes the submodel flags to use a flagset instead of several booleans
2) Adds `rotate_accel` to allow submodel rotation acceleration to be specified
Submodel acceleration can now be instant; dumb-rotating submodels always instantly accelerate (and have always done so)
This moves submodel rotation out of the AI pipeline and into object movement. With the exception of turret rotation (which remains in the AI code) this now allows all types of submodel rotation to happen in the same place. Many associated functions have also been cleaned up.
In addition to making the code cleaner and clearer, this will make it much easier for intrinsic rotations and new animations to be applied to non-ship objects, such as weapons.
Commit 6c2ebab01c (#3439) added a `max_line_length` argument to `split_str()`, but one call had the extra argument added in the wrong spot, and so a previously-pointless-but-harmless `ignored_char` of 0 became a `max_line_length` of 0, resulting (ultimately) in an exception in the unicode code when the iterator tried to decrement at the beginning of a ship's description. This gets rid of the argument entirely, rather than reordering them, because ignoring null characters doesn't really do anything anyway.
I've also added `Assertion`s to check `max_line_length` that should prevent this specific problem from occurring again in the future.
* Added a byte limit for line length in split function
* Fix call error
* Ádd missing limits import
* Change hardcoded values into defines
* Cleanup default argument
* fix variable replacement in briefings/debriefings
* remove unused local variables
* multi server-side cleanup
* add client-side text replacement in multi
These two situations mostly relied on the obsolete model code which didn't include model instances. Data for submodel positions and for whether a submodel is blown off are now stored exclusively in model instances, not the model itself.
This fixes#3124.
- use standard ADD/GET macros
- better detection of size issues
- support SHRT_MAX ship types
- support SHRT_MAX weapon types
- use MAX_WSS_SLOTS & MAX_SHIP_WEAPONS safely
- support sound indexes higher than 254
- support sync state before entering mission
- return to briefing for sync and stats saving
- handle campaign progression properly
- initialize net_player state properly (fixes#2560)
The previous system was kind of hacky and made things a bit inflexible.
This improves that system quite a bit and also adds unit tests for the
hook variable functionality.
Several things going on here:
1) refactor `get_display_string()` to `get_display_name()` to be more precise
2) likewise, refactor `alt_name` to `display_name`
3) automatically generate display names when parsing the ship, ship class, and weapon class for the first time
4) remove the on-the-fly truncation of names with hash symbols
Basically this subsumes the `end_string_at_first_hash_symbol` logic into the display name. Rather than truncate the name every time it's displayed, truncate it once when it's parsed. This takes advantage of the previous display name infrastructure, since display names are a superset of the case of truncating the hash symbol.
This also has the benefit of now allowing hash symbols within display names. When updating Destiny of Peace, I noticed that "Lockheed Shuttle #4" would no longer display properly; and it was not previously possible to fix this even with display names.
I could pull out the `get_display_string()` and `alt_name` renaming into a separate PR if desired.
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.
As noticed in Discord, in loop1-2 some of your wingmen have missing weapons, but as the ships are locked it's impossible for the player to modify them. These ships should not be part of the check.
Ships which do not have the maximum number of primary and secondary banks (3 and 4) will have gaps in the loadout slots, so be sure to only check the weapon slots that the ship class is actually equipped with.
Yet another obscure edge case from Aftermath: Reboot. The FREDder ought not to create this situation in the first place, but if he does, don't enter an endless loop.
This is the best way to address Mantis 2715. I took a look at allowing empty banks in the course of working on PR #2318, and it was completely intractable. But in order to prevent certain "funnies" such as violation of bank restrictions, it's a good idea to ensure all banks are populated.
This PR adds a new XSTR for a popup message, and incidentally adds another XSTR to a message that should have had one already but didn't.
