f59536b5a3 Remove legacy spectator settings module argument 2015-08-07 00:28:54 +01:00

4c9b6e94cf Overhaul and improve spectator unit tree UX
The old method of refreshing the tree on each update would reset all expanded/collapsed nodes. Now the code will cull any units/groups/sides no longer spectatable from the list and cache the ones that are still valid. The cached data is then used to populate the list with new units.

Add coloured unit icons beside units in the list for quick user reference of side and type.

Store group netIDs in respective nodes for possible use in code.

bcb21b782e Overhaul spectator icon handling and rendering
- Optimize and improve 3D icon drawing
- Combine 2D and 3D PFHs into 1
- Render group icons outside of 200m, unit icons within
- Store list of groups on units update to cut down on what needs to be done each frame
- Change map control type to 100 to remove all default unit icons
- Improve colour caching, group colours don't change, unit colours do
- Remove icon setting, toggling should be at users discretion

92ef0bfe99 Whitelist spectator free camera boom keys
Now that booming the free camera is influenced by the camera speed, the keys should be whitelisted from the held-key prevention system to allow the speed to be adjusted on the move. Also includes a failed attempt to fix the free camera map teleporting functionality.

42b5abae11 Add support for respawn counter to spectator UI

07e09b60fa Stop spectator camera unit changing on corpses
Previously the camera would be automatically moved away from corpses (when the unit currently being watched dies). This changes it to stay on them until the view is manually switched as users might want to stick around and watch whatever was going on at the time of death.

1b12d37284 Replace spectator respawn changes with a template
Hacking the BI respawn framework to support a spectator setting was intrusive and limiting. Instead of using a setting, I've opted to introduce a new respawn template that can be used within BI's respawn framework. The benefits of this approach are:
- Compatibility isn't a concern, that responsibility is shifted onto mission designers.
- Mission designers can use the functionality of the BI framework alongside the spectator system (combining templates, using different templates for different sides, etc.).
- If a custom respawn framework is used, then this doesn't change anything. Custom frameworks are still fully supported via the public functions provided.
- Remains simple to set up, just requires a description.ext edit

7e9500f2ca Enable ace_spectator respawn framework integration
Seamlessly integrates the spectator system with the vanilla respawn framework when the onDeath setting is enabled. This commit makes a lot of changes:
- Edit BI functions used by the vanilla respawn framework to enable support for ace_spectator.
- Set spectator state is now tracked using a GVAR for the local player since using a unit won't be reliable all of the time. However unit is still marked for any filtering purposes.
- Instead of NV being used based on the sun to moon transition state by default, that functionality only takes place in the integrated system so that custom frameworks can do what they want.
- Seagull units are hidden when using framework integration since they're spawned by the engine with respawn type 1 and they just hang around undesirably

f5e7185aec Fix spectator camera exiting mechanism
When using ACE_Player the camera would return to the dead body. It makes sense to simply pass the reset unit by reference to the camera exit code.

98b088f26f Fix pre-spectator position saving
When staging a spectator (physically applying the spectator state) the unit position is saved for potential later restoration. This shouldn't be done multiple times since the function can be called again to reset staged units.

b87b4ea16a Improve spectator GUI reopening prevention
Using boolean instead of simply checking for the display. Checking for diplay was unreliable since it can be technically closed while theoretically open during the escape menu and such.

Vertical camera movement (boom) was previously at a constant speed. However this felt too slow at times, half the horizontal (dolly) speed should improve this.
