All builds should have ENABLE_AUTO_PILOT defined from now on (.dsp's i am committing reflect this) the system will only be noticed if the mission designer brings it online by defining a nav point
Fixed FPS counter during time compression
added new ai directive (last commit) and disabled afterburners while performing AIM_WAYPOINTS or AIM_FLY_TO_SHIP
fixed player ship speed bug w/ player-use-ai, now stays in formation correctly and manages speed
made -radar_reduce ignore itself if no parameter is given (ignoring launcher bug)
Changed flag because of launcher bug, have fixed launcher bug, will distribute later.
Also removed experimental flag from launcher flag list, stupid people were reporting bugs on unfinished code.
Fix condition where alt_tab_pause() would flipout and trigger failed assert if game minimizes during startup (like it does a lot during debug)
Nav Point / Auto Pilot code (All disabled via #ifdefs)
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.
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.
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.
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.
