All other display names are `SCP_string`, so make these `SCP_string` as well to be consistent and to allow arbitrary-length display names.
Also fix a few infelicities with German translation and the script API.
Use `std::unique_ptr` rather than `vm_malloc` and `vm_free` to handle optional strings in ship classes. This makes the code more robust and increases memory safety. This also allows several string variables to be consolidated in the ship class and weapon class script APIs.
Also add new `stuff_string()` overloads and a new `F_TRIMMED` string parsing type to handle the new fields and the string trimming done inside `stuff_malloc_string()`.
Several changes related to the volumetrics model fix:
1. Update the `model_load()` prototype with better parameter names, including a new `ErrorType` enum defined in pstypes.h
2. Update the `MIN`, `MAX`, and `CLAMP` macros, all of which were susceptible to performance issues because they duplicated their tokens. This could cause functions or calculations to be re-run unnecessarily. Since the codebase is now on C++17, `std::clamp()` can be used.
3. Update the rest of the codebase to fix any associated issues.
* Add control_info driver sources
* Properly deal with cockpits and their 'objnum's
* Add driven animation sets to weapons and cockpits
* enumify objnums
Use the same method for texture replacement in briefing popups that is already used in the tech room.
Also don't render shadows when the jump node is displayed, since it's not being lit anyway.
* Add modular ability to add intel entries
* Allow for +nocreate in modular tables
* Allow intel.tbl as an alias of species.tbl
* Additional error checking and remove tests that are no longer required
* const
* 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
* Applying directional brightness profile value, disconnected spec flags and made specular light always equal to diffuse light
* Switched over to new command line arguments
* Wire lab up to new lighting controls, and provide backwards-compatible defaults for emissive.
* cleanup unused new function
* make static some functions that can be static
* revise command-line and emissive handling
* handled specular sun depreciation and general removal of specular value handling
* Removed specular light color as a separate value in the uniform buffers.
* cleanup of leftover/post-rebase specular references
* further post-rebase repair of light flags command line and leftover specular
* move techroom/selection/breifing 'room' lights to a common function and
augment lighting setup for current rendering
* fixed some mishandling of lighting modifiers.
* Addressed code clarity and comments from review
The "default" tech database flags indicate whether entries are in the tech room by default, that is when the table is originally parsed and the campaign is started. Flags may be changed later, so that when the tech database is "reset to default" the flags can be returned to the known state as specified in the tables.
A bug was introduced back in commit c924e3997a (!) based on a misinterpretation of what "default" meant. This fixes the bug and clarifies the flags.
Fixes#4390.
1) In commit 770fce8de5, a flag was incorrectly ported from a bit to a flagset, which caused ships not in the tech db to not be removed.
2) Perhaps due to the pilot file upgrade, campaigns which had their tech databases reset would immediately load stale techroom data from the savefile. This change writes the savefile after the reset so that subsequent reloads will load the correct data.
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.
* 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
The tech room loop checked that all the lines could fit in the available screen real estate, but it didn't check to see that the number of lines was less than the array capacity. Normally this never happened, but certain mods which use smaller fonts will overflow the limit. This adds a proper bounds check and also increases the bounds so that more of the smaller lines can be used.

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.
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.
1) Upgrade the pilot file code to correctly save flags whether entries are added *or* removed
2) Make the tech-db/tech-db-multi ship flag handling consistent
3) Add scripting support for intel entries
4) Add scripting support for adding and removing entries from the tech room
5) Minor cleanup
This is a system for storing arbitrary data in the config file and then
easily retrieving it later on. This has full Lua support for exposing
the available options in a custom UI and changing the values of the
options. This ported some of the existing command line options over to
the new system which is opt-in for the moment by using a mod_table flag.
I also fixed a few issues where the internal char array was used as a
mutable string which changed the string after it was parsed which is not
good(TM).
This also replaces all user-facing occurences of usages of name to use
the new function so that the correct, possibly translated, name is displayed
to the user.
This adds a new class which allows to create type safe resource handle
types. At the moment, the engine uses ints pretty much everywhere for
providing handles to resources created by the specific subsystems. Since
all ints are the same to the C/C++ typesystem it is perfectly legal to
pass a sound handle to the graphics API as a buffer handle which will
obviously cause issues.
This adds a new type called "ID" which is a wrapper class for a generic
handle but with added type safety. An instance of this class cannot be
passed to a function expecting another type of handle which provided
compile-time type safety for these APIs.
As an initial test I converted the game sound handles to this new type.
I already found a bug in the mainhall system thanks to this new type.
The mainhall used the game sound handles as sound instance handles which
probably meant that that specific code never really worked right. I
removed the code since there was no better alternative for fixing it.
All transformations are now handled by shaders so there is nothing
special going on in the graphics API specific code anymore. Since model
uniform buffers require access to these matrices I moved the matrix
handling out of the graphics API code.
