* Fixes CTD with decals on dying ships
If a ship was getting shot with weapons that used decals, the decal code would hit an assertation, because the invalid decals were not being all removed.
This PR updates the decal cleanup loop, to ensure that no decals are missed and all invalid ones are removed. Tests confirm this fixes the issue.
Also cleaned up some comments and moved another assertation before setting of variables.
* Exposes modder useful options to decals
Now that decals are very stable, this PR exposes two options that are very useful for using decals, a random range for the radius along with the option to have a random rotation when the decal is created.
Tested and everything works as expected.
* add script ability to toggle decals
* properly use set arg not func
* fix two minor things in decal shader
* one more cleanup line
* fixes
Allow `mn.sendMessage` to send from a ship source, not only a string source, by allowing the ship object to be specified as the first argument. Also add `ship:sendMessage` which is a more streamlined version of the same thing.
Adds gravity! Applies on a per-mission basis, and weapons, ships, debris, and asteroids now have a configurable "gravity const" which multiplies the effect of gravity on them, by default everything except debris is 0 (meaning no effect even when the mission has gravity). AI and the lead indicator will also lead for ballistic trajectories as well, given a gravity-affected weapon. No FRED support or gravity direction control yet, to come in later PRs.
We shouldn't be checking that the `cci_h` is valid by seeing if it is greater than -1 because by that point it never will be. Instead, we should be checking that the incoming id is valid and setting to the invalid state if it is not.
Load campaigns using the full path provided by the user, not just from the configured mod paths.
Also tweaks initialization based on the campaign having already been cleared in `mission_campaign_clear()`.
This is a new Lua API function that allows creation of arbitrary debris pieces, whether chunks of a ship's hull or shards of shrapnel. All of the parameters are optional, and a wide variety of situations are possible ranging from vaporized bits to static chunks to chunks propelled by an explosion.
* Add access to damage type, swarm, and corkscrew data
* Also return if the weapons have the appropriate flags
* Return nil for invalid handle and clarify documentation
