Many mods and scripts use custom features that are triggered by key press. Currently, those keypresses cannot be changed by the player. I want to add 5 controls that do nothing and thus can be used for scripts/modding purposes. This way the modder could add new features/controls easily and have them show up in the controls menu and be bindable. As opposed to using a script which triggers via a keypress, and that keypress cannot be changed by the player in game (and may be bound to another control).
Also, Axem has expressed he would find this feature and Fate of the Galaxy certainly will.
This adds a mission file option for ships which allows specifying a
different string which should be used for displaying the name of the
ship to the user. This name will not be used in SEXPs or other ship
lookup functions so it can be freely translated and two ships can also
have the same display name.
The new feature can be used by adding $Display name: <string> after $Name
for a ship in a mission file. I think I added proper support for FRED
(and qtFRED) so that this new value is properly saved but it would be
great if someone could test that.
This implements one of the features requested in #1730.
I added this hack a long time ago and it always bothered me why I didn't
come up with a better solution. This is the better solution which uses
the popup_active function for determining if gr_flip is called within a
popup.
This can be used for mark parts of the code which should be unreachable
in normal execution. In debug mode, if such a statement is reached an
Error dialog is shown which aborts the execution. In release mode the
macro is replaced with a compiler specific expression that lets the
compiler know that this part is unreachable which allows it to optimize
the code better.
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.
Removes the extern declaration of hud_target_asteroid() from
keycontrol.cpp as it is not used in that module.

See also my comments on #762. The flag is almost entirely redundant, so this PR removes it in all instances where it's used in the ballistic primaries code. There are one or two places where removing it was not a no-op, so I adjusted the rest of the code accordingly (most notably in the parsing validation when it checks that primary weapon cargo has been assigned). I also added a few divide-by-zero checks and slightly tweaked the support ship rearm code. The use of the SIF_BALLISTIC_PRIMARIES flag in the ingame_join code was replaced with a dummy value to avoid bumping the multiplayer packet version number.
* Adds VM_CENTERING to replace view_centering
* view_modify() now takes care of centering the view
* Reorganized view-related controls and logic to be cleaner
This introduces a new mechanism for handling bit flags. Instead of using an int (or two, or three) to write bits into, this uses the std::bitset in a wrapper class that accepts an enum class as input. This means that certain classes of errors we've had a few of in the engine, where a coder used the wrong set of flags or checked them against the wrong variable (SF_STEALTH vs SIF_STEALTH, for example) can now be detected at a compiler level rather than not at all.
Converts Ship_info from a ship_info[] to an SCP_vector<ship_info>. ship_info now has proper constructors, assignment operators, and a destructor. Num_ship_classes removed; various references to Num_ship_classes and/or MAX_SHIP_CLASSES (which remains for various other structures which need it) changed to Ship_info.size() instead.
This doesn't make the ship class limit dynamic, but it is a preparatory step to get there.
Basically, hitting "o" on any ship with more than 6 slots in a bank could crash FSO, even without the flag. Reported by Spoon.
