Currently is-docked always returns true if only a single argument is
supplied. This is probably as designed (except for not erroring on a
single arg) however it's quite easy to update to work for a single
argument and this case is useful for FotG, and might be useful for
others.
The core bug fixed here is #1982. After ship_create sets up the ship, parse_object_create_sub does further initialization by copying some values from the parse object. In most cases there are sensible defaults, but a few special cases require some post-processing...
- ship sounds
- the new way of initializing warp effects to allow per-ship customization
- intrinsic-no-shields
- an arrival entry in the mission log
- script hooks
I also took a further look at normal ship creation and tweaked some things...
- initialize ai mode in ai_object_init
- remove redundant assigment of ship name from parse_object_create_sub (it's also done in ship_create)
- remove redundant goal clearing from parse_object_create_sub (it's also done in ai_clear_ship_goals via ship_create)
- avoid overwriting the initial ai mode if the fix-ai-class-bug flag is set
- make the code slightly more efficient by not redundantly setting flags while searching for subsystems
This is a follow-up to commit 1614384a6a. `Error` is to be avoided if possible because almost all sexp problems are recoverable, and we don't want to bring the entire game to a halt.
Also add some more information to warnings about sexp operators on strings.
This can be used by the various subsystems for cleaning up Lua
references before the Lua state is destroyed. This avoids having
dangling references to the Lua state which would cause segfaults later
on.
The first subsystem to use this is the dynamic SEXP system which had
dangling references due to keeping Lua references to the SEXP functions.
This fixes#1954.
Bad data can cause the name search to fail, and if change-ai-class was called with an invalid AI class, it could cause later invalid array accesses (using an index of -1).
Previously, these two SEXPs could only be used in single-player; now they can be used in multiplayer. (This now allows Admiral MS's ship save/load script to work in multiplayer too.)
Inspired by Parias's patch included in the FSPort Co-Op Mod Beta (https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=88385.0) though with some modifications.
The code already only recomputed collisions if we moved a ship or a wing, but this further optimizes things so that only ships or wings that can collide will cause a recomputation.
Travis CI recently added support for running builds in Windows. This
adds support for testing compilation on Windows using that feature.
The newer version of Visual Studio and MinGW required some code changes
and an update of Google Test which is included in this commit.
This adds a new AI goal which is equivalent to play-dead except that it "sticks". It doesn't clear the goal list
so it will continue playing dead until the goal is removed or another goal with a higher priority is added.
This maintains the type information which can be used for enforce
const-correctness and also for implementing more advanced ways of
handling the type information.
