Simulated speech doesnt say tags marked by $ now.
The following are fixes to issues that came up testing TBP in fs2_open and fred2_open:
Changed vm_vec_mag and parse_tmap to fail gracefully on bad data.
Error now given on missing briefing icon and bad ship normal data.
Solved more species divide by zero error.
Fixed neb cube crash.
and fixed a small error in the matrix code,
I told you it was indeed suposed to be gr_start_instance_matrix
in g3_done_instance,
g3_start_instance_angles needs to have an gr_ API abstraction version of it made
It doesnt use the backgrounds anymore but its still an improvement.
Currently it fogs to a brighter colour than it should because of Bob specular code.
I will fix this after discussing it with Bob.
Also tided up some D3D stuff, a cmdline variable name and changed a small bit of
the htl code to use the existing D3D engine instead of work around it.
And added extra information in version number on bottom left of frontend screen.
still needs a lot of work, ubt the frame rates were getting with it are incredable
the biggest problem it still has is a bad lightmanegment system, and the zbuffer
doesn't work well with things still getting rendered useing the sofware pipeline, like thrusters,
and weapons, I think these should be modifyed to be sent through hardware,
it would be slightly faster and it would likely fix the problem
also the thruster glow/particle stuff I did is now in.
