let gr_render_buffer() render untextured polys (OGL only until some D3D people fix it on their side)
add MR_SHOW_OUTLINE_HTL flag so we easily render using HTL mode for wireframe views
make Interp_verts/Interp_norms/etc. dynamic and get rid of the extra htl_* versions
if there's no -env command-line) which created the cube-map and didn't check
if the creation of it failed. Added the same sanity check to d3d_render_to_env
OGL can take advantage of this if they want but it won't break
anything if they don't. also state block code has been implemented,
that's totaly internal to D3D no high level code is involved.
Set laser function to only render the effect one sided.
Added some stuff to the credits.
Set D3D fogging to fall back to vertex fog if table fog not supported.
Changed htl to be on by default, command now -nohtl
Changed D3D to use a 2D vertex for 2D operations which should cut down on redundant data having to go though the system.
Added small change to all -start_mission flag to take you to any mission by filename, very useful for testing.
Removed old dshow code and took away timerbar compile flag condition since it uses a runtime flag now.
you shouldn't see anything diferent, as the ifdef should be set to the way it should be, if it isn't you will get a warning mesage during compile telling you how to fix it
OK, these changes effect a lot of file, I suggest everyone updates ASAP:
Removal of many files from project.
Removal of meanless Gr_bitmap_poly variable.
Removal of glide, directdraw, software modules all links to them, and all code specific to those paths.
Removal of redundant Fred paths that arent needed for Fred OGL.
Have seriously tidied the graphics initialisation code and added generic non standard mode functionality.
Fixed many D3D non standard mode bugs and brought OGL up to the same level.
Removed texture section support for D3D8, voodoo 2 and 3 cards will no longer run under fs2_open in D3D, same goes for any card with a maximum texture size less than 1024.
Its optional and off by default, use -d3d_particle to activiate.
Also bumped up D3D ambient light setting, it was way too dark.
Its now set to something similar to the original game.
Added stats command for ingame stats on memory usage.
Trys to play intro.mve and intro.avi, just to be safe since its not set by table.
Added fix for fonts wrapping round in non standard hi res modes.
Changed D3D mipmapping to a good value to suit htl mode.
Added new fog colour method which makes use of the bitmap, making this htl feature backcompatible again.
Made some commandline variables fit the naming standard.
Changed timerbar system not to run pushes and pops if its not in use.
Put in a note about not uncommenting asserts.
Fixed up a lot of missing POP's on early returns?
Perhaps the motivation for Assert functionality getting commented out?
Fixed up some bad asserts.
Changed nebula poofs to render in 2D in htl, it makes it look how it used to in non htl. (neb.cpp,1248)
Before the poofs were creating a nasty stripe effect where they intersected with ships hulls.
Put in a special check for the signs of that D3D init bug I need to lock down.
started work on fixing the node model not rendering,
but most of that got commented out so I wouldn't have to deal with it
while mucking about with the polylist
