The existing `cannot-perform-scan` flag prevents the cargo from being shown on the HUD, but some modders would like to see the cargo while still preventing a ship from being able to perform a scan. So, this renames the existing flag to `cannot-perform-scan-hide-cargo` and adds a new `cannot-perform-scan-show-cargo` flag. Compatibility code in both mission parsing and flag evaluation ensures that missions using the old flag will still work.
Note that if both `cannot-perform-scan-hide-cargo` and `cannot-perform-scan-show-cargo` are set, the former will take precedence.
Add a useful function for getting a ship_info pointer from a ship registry entry. Also rename `ship_has_dock_bay` to `ship_has_hangar_bay` for clarity, since docking bays and docking points are not the same thing. Finally, add a `model_has_hangar_bay` function.
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.
The `$Scannable` field in objecttypes.tbl controls whether a ship can be targeted by the "target unscanned ship" key. This is independent of which ship types can actually be *scanned*, which is not connected to any field in objecttypes.tbl.
So, this PR renames the `$Scannable` field to `$Targetable as unscanned:` to be clearer about what it actually does, and it adds the missing counterpart `$Scannable by default:` flag to specify which ship types can actually be scanned.
Note that this is only relevant for legacy scanning behavior. Mods which use `$Unify scanning behavior:` do not need either of the ship type flags.
The object and ship indexes held by the ship registry do not actually need to be cleared until `ship_cleanup` completes. This will allow the ship to be referenced in any functions (via script hooks or otherwise) that are called during cleanup.
Tweak related script documentation while we're at it.
Follow-up to #7120. Fixes#7122.
This dates back to commit `300d5fc2c1`. It probably did something at some point, but with various upgrades over the years, it no longer has any effect.
It looks like a lot of the model interp code (e.g. `model_interp_defpoints`, which isn't called anywhere) can be removed as well, but that's a bit more involved.
Addresses a behavior idiosyncrasy encountered by Solaris. If this flag is enabled, explosions with a visual radius of 0 do not have fireballs created, and do not have the fireball lifetime added to the explosion lifetime.
Infamously, in FSO, a wing whose mothership is destroyed will not, itself, be considered destroyed if it has more waves remaining, because wing cleanup and logging typically only happen when the last ship in the last wave exits the mission. Instead, with no mothership to arrive from, waves will simply no longer arrive. Events that check to see if the wing is destroyed or departed will never fire.
This PR fixes that behavior, ensuring that the wing is cleaned up and logged properly, by using the same logic as the enhanced `cancel-future-waves` SEXP operator. This is tied to a new `$cancel future waves of any wing launched from an exited ship:` AI profiles flag which is enabled by default on 25.0+.
If the `cancel-future-waves` sexp is called when a wave is not present, it would previously not handle wing cleanup, such as setting flags and updating the mission log.
* Allow 'No Impact Debris' to also apply to explosions
The ship/subsystem flag `no impact debris` prevents the default debris shards from spawning, which is very valuable especially now that impact effects can be completely customized via the -particles table. Now that particle effects are also an option for ship and subsystems explosions, it is also invaluable to have the ability to turn off the spawning of shards when either of those explosions happen.
This PR uses the same flag of `no impact debris` and simply does not spawn the default shards for ship explosions or subsystem explosions of that flag is enabled. I thought about adding two new flags, but that would add to the flag clutter, and most folks who use these flags to turn off impacts I would estimate also want them off for actual explosions. Also, a new flag called `no explosion debris` would likely be confusing, so if a new flag were to be added it should be called something like `no default explosion debris shards` or something. Overall I've opted with the simpler and cleaner solution to just have it all under the impact flags. If two new flags are desired though I can easily add them.
Tested and works as expected.
* throw clang a bone
* use two different flags
* update flag name
* typo and logic fix
* allow custom generic debris to always work
* update to better methods
* cleanup logic
* clang
`optional_string_either` advances the parser by default, but `required_string_either` does not advance the parser by default. So be sure to advance the parser here.
Followup to #7069.
For type safety, use enum class rather than int.
Also make a few miscellaneous tweaks such as adding a new casting macro and making detail level settings a bit cleaner.
It's possible for ships to be designated as arrival or departure anchors when these ships do not actually have hangar bays. This cannot normally happen in the interface but can happen when missions are edited in a text editor, or are imported, or the modpack is changed. So add warnings and checks for this situation.
Multiple issues were discovered to be from improper targeting data in multi
tracing back to the addition of multi-lock. This was due to differences in
how targeting works in single/multi and de-sync of this info between server
and client. Collecting accurate targeting data on the server and making sure
that the client will use that data resolves the tracking and sync issues.

The `+Rotation Factor:` value in the ship collide section of the ships table has been around for many years, but raising that value beyond the default of 0.2 results in ship collisions that can result in the colliding ship spinning at ludicrous rotational velocities that last for over 10 seconds (this is especially evident with long ships with high speeds).
This PR adds a field after `+Rotation Factor:` called `+Rotation Magnitude Maximum:` which serves as a maximum for the resulting rotational velocity from a ship collision in degrees per second. By default this is -1 and thus disabled.
Tested and works as expected, and now properly allows mods to have ships spin out if they have collision while not spinning out at wild speeds that look immersion breaking.
* Fix engine not updating with change-ship
Yet another caveat of the change-ship function was discovered by Darius, who found that that both the 3D assigned engine sounds and the 2D throttle/cockpit engine sounds do not properly updated when a ship type is changed via sexp/script.
This PR fixes this by properly calling the respective clearing functions and it also resets the throttle sound check timestamp to ensure the 2D sounds are indeed updated on the next frame.
Tested and works as expected. Fixes#6892.
* cleanup for safety
Small one-line fix that follows up #6849. That PR removed the `!(Viewer_mode & VM_EXTERNAL))` check within a section of `ship_render_player_ship` to optimize insignia rendering, but turns out that check is needed to ensure `show-ship` properly works. This PR restores that check to fix this bug, and ideally the thoughts about slightly optimizing insignias can be considered later.
Tested and works as expected.
* Allow mods to set threshold at which shield stops taking damage
FSO logic dictates that shields collisions and any related sound or visuals related to shields are skipped if the shields are under 10%. This is rather unintuitive especially for mods, so this PR creates a game setting value that allows mods to set this value.
Also, this PR fixes a bug where the HUD shield gauge would try and incorporate this feature but did not do it correctly. Specifically, the gauge skips shield segment rendering if the raw shield strength was 0.1 not the percent. Incorrectly using the raw value results in HUD shields being rendered (albeit faintly) even if the damage was skipping the shield and directly damaging the hull. In other words, if the shield segment was 8%, the shield segment would show faintly even the shield is skipping damage.
Tested and works as expected. Also happy to discuss or answer any questions!
* update local variable name for clarity
* rename `ship_quadrant_shield_strength`
* cleanup with updated get percent function
* more cleanup
* wording and safety tuning
* use correct default number
