Implements the feature request from issue #610.
As an aside, this PR also patches the `ship_set_subsystem_strength` function (which is only used by the debug console and in the event you fire at your training instructor) to use the same code as the `set-subystem-strength` sexp. This properly handles submodels blown off, sounds, etc.
Making wp_list null lets ai_mission_goal_achievable reset the waypoints
list correctly, otherwise it thinks the waypoints are ok when in fact
something has invalidated them
This allows modders to restrict the amount of rotation in a death roll.
It's fairly simple to fit in with the existing code which has a lot of
hard coded constants. The intended use case is to restrict pitch &
heading changes so there's less chance of rapid forward rolls or flat
spins, especially with faster-than-FS2 ships.
I'd almost rather rewrite the entire code to dynamically use ships mass
& velocity except for retail compatibility issues.
Every g3_start_frame must have a matching g3_end_frame. Thus, a return
in the middle of a function after an opening g3_start_frame must make
sure to call g3_end_frame before it leaves to avoid a dangling frame
context.
As described in the bug report at
https://github.com/scp-fs2open/fs2open.github.com/issues/1827
a floating point rounding issue could be the trigger for the problem.
This provides a cleaner fix for the bug where using show ship caused detail_box calculations to incorrectly work on the player's ship.
It also reverts the changes made by PR #2018.
This PR fixes issue #2015, which is a bug where using `show ship` caused detail_box calculations to incorrectly use world coordinates for submodels on the player's ship, rather then the correct local coordinates.
Allows subspace strikes to choose which fireball to use for the warp effect. If absent, FIREBALL_WARP is used as the default (which was the previous hardcoded behavior).
"+WarpEffect:" can be specified as either an index or using the fireball's unique ID.
Add a submodel property that overrides the hard-coded distance
multipliers applied to the distances at which details boxes & spheres
are rendered. The distance multipliers are set by the "model detail"
setting in the options screen. Note that this is different to the LOD
distance multipliers which are not hard-coded.
This allows some more creative uses of detail boxes & spheres, e.g. to
stop models subobjects from being rendered when they're out of player
view. Past testing showed a reasonable performance improvement with
complicated models.
This is a submodel property rather than global, or a ship flag, to allow
flexibility, i.e. a single model could choose this option only for the
submodels that want to use detail boxes/spheres in this fashion, which
other detail boxes/spheres use the conventional approach.
Code & ideas originally from zookeeper, I've just packaged it up for
the PR.
This has been rebased & squashed based on feedback in the PR
Fixes a minor bug that incorrectly draws Rectangles to a scripted HUD gauge. The third and fourht arguments needed to be width and heigth, not x2 and y2.
This adds the following functions to the scripted gauge API: drawCircle, drawRect, and drawLine. Also note that I created an additional function, for HUDGauge:renderCircle_unfilled, becuase the precedent shown by having two functions for `gr_unfilled_circle` and `gr_circle` and adding a fourth argument to `renderCircle` seemed to affect a lot of other functions.
This commit adds new id for existing strings, so that they are translateable through the strings.tbl.
The following is translateable now:
- The 'or' seperator in the Keypress Directive gauge, if one function is bound to two keys.
- The Supernova warning.
- The error message that is displayed prior the pilot selection screen, if something is wrong with the loaded modification.
