* Fix incorrect function input for spectator hiding
* Remove locations tab from spectator
- Doesn't add much value, adds complexity and the implementation is half
baked. Would rather add back in at a later date (if at all) with a
better implementation.
- I have an idea to replace the locations tab with a meta tab so users
can toggle things like projectile drawing via the UI and are not forced
to use a hotkey. Might also be a good place to display the extended controls.
- Overhauls the spectator module entirely to share a similar UX to BI's "End Game Spectator" while maintaining some of the extended flexibility of ACE Spectator.
- Simplifies spectator setup by reducing the number of settings. More advanced setup is still possible via the API functions provided.
- 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
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
