This is a new Lua API function that allows creation of arbitrary debris pieces, whether chunks of a ship's hull or shards of shrapnel. All of the parameters are optional, and a wide variety of situations are possible ranging from vaporized bits to static chunks to chunks propelled by an explosion.
* Update `$POF file Techroom:` Usage
Currently `$POF file Techroom:` is only used in the weapons loadout screen (despite having techroom in the name). This PR expands the use of the `$POF file Techroom:` to shiploadout select and the actual techroom.
If it is desired I can put it behind a game settings flag, but IMO it would make the most sense for modders to have this just work as the actual name implies.
* clean up code with feedback
* typo fix in comment
The script functions should make the ships/wings arrive even if they are reinforcement, so this PR fixes that. Also, this PR adds some additional verification of the `num_uses` of reinforcements, especially when the player calls for a wing that is already present but has more uses remaining.
* proof of concept
* Account for shadows
* Option to tie individual HUD gauges to the cockpit option
* Do this in a more user-friendly way
* Address feedback
Since the debug pause check needs to use UI timestamps, and since UI timestamps must keep track of time regardless of time compression, pausing, or mission status, move the updating and checking to `game_do_state_common`.
Also fix a type conversion warning.
* Add maximum self repair percentages for health and subsystems
Adds two new options to help with the automatic self repairs for hull and subsystems: `$Hull Self Repair Maximum:` and `$Subsystem Self Repair Maximum:`. These values allow mods to specify how much a ship's hull or subsystem can self repair to, which is very useful to have some auto repair but not enough to make the hull or subsystem 100%.
Also cleans up the `ship_auto_repair_frame` function with removing un-used define values, improving comments, and making formatting consistent. Also updates the parse sections of repair rate for hull and subsystems to print to the log if values are being clamped.
Probably easiest to review with hiding whitespace changes.
* update local names to be easier matches to surrounding code
* incorporate feedback
Add back in define, fix == 0 checks, and fix edge case logic bugs
There was code that could interpret any Lua type as an argument for printing, so I adapted it to be used in ba.print(), ba.warning(), and ba.error(). Also ba.println() seemed like a useful thing to add.
