Some ugliness involved (placement new - yuck!), however given that a lot of our structures are allocated with vm_malloc, I haven't got a better way around this at present.
make Shockwave_info dynamic
lot of fixage to allow 2D and 3D shockwaves to work better
fix for Mantis bug #1148
properly handle both "none" and "<none>" for 2D and 3D shockwave names
better handling, preloading wise, of 3D shockwaves and their textures
remove two old/unused MR flags (MR_ALWAYS_REDRAW, used for caching that doesn't work; MR_SHOW_DAMAGE, didn't do anything)
add MR_FULL_DETAIL to render an object regardless of render/detail box setting
change "model_current_LOD" to a global "Interp_detail_level" and the static "Interp_detail_level" to "Interp_detail_level_locked", a bit more descriptive
minor bits of cleanup
change a couple of vm_vec_scale_add2() calls to just vm_vec_add2() calls in ship.cpp, since that was the final result anyway
add a central parse_modular_table() function which anything can use
fix up weapon_expl so that it can properly handle modular tables and LOD count changes
add support for for a fireball TBM (handled a little different than a normal TBM is since it only changes rather than adds)
- very minor performance boost from not doing stupid things :)
- minor change to 3d shockwave sizing to better approximate 2d effect movements
- for shields, Gobal_tris was only holding half as many as the game can/will use, buffer is now set to full size to avoid possible rendering issues
- removed extra tcache_set on OGL spec map code, not sure how that slipped in
add lab stuff to Makefile
build unbreakage for everything that's not MSVC++ 6
lots of warning fixes
fix OpenGL rendering problem with ship insignias
no Warnings() in non-debug mode for Linux (like Windows)
some campaign savefile fixage to stop reverting everyones data
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.
