These are read from a packed binary file shipped with the game, so their
size must not change. If the size does change, later fields will be
loaded from the wrong offset, causing the in-memory values to be
incorrect.
Remove the definition of FQ_CHECK_OBJS and all uses of it. Add a new
fvi_query member d_level_unique_object_state *LevelUniqueObjectState.
If object checking is enabled, pass &LevelUniqueObjectState in that
member. If object checking is disabled, pass nullptr in that member.
Change fvi_sub to use this member to decide whether to perform object
checking.
- Make all members constant, and pass an anonymous temporary fvi_query
to find_vector_intersection.
- Change `p0`/`p1` to `const vms_vector &`, since the positions are
mandatory. Callers can no longer pass `nullptr` or an uninitialized
value here.
- Change `thisobjnum` to `icobjptridx_t`. Calls to fvi_sub built an
objptridx at need, so moving it to the caller allows it to be
constructed once per find_vector_intersection call.
- Move `flags` and `rad` out of fvi_query, since calls to fvi_sub may
use other values than the ones in fvi_query. This prepares for
passing fvi_query to fvi_sub.
- Write a more specific message on failure
- Defer writing a success message until `spit_powerup` succeeds
- Defer the sound too
- Rewrite the success message to tell how much ammo remains
If exactly one object will always be needed, use an overload that
returns the object id. Otherwise, use an overload that only returns
whether at least one object was created. This simplifies callers that
always request exactly one object.
- Change D1X to use D2X rules regarding Vulcan cannon pickup. The D1X
rules were confusing at best, and seem outright wrong in some ways.
- When a Vulcan cannon was picked up, it was treated as containing not
less than VULCAN_WEAPON_AMMO_AMOUNT rounds, regardless of what it
actually contained. D2X respected the actual contained count, even
when running in D1X emulation mode.
- In D1X single player, if the Vulcan cannon was not picked up, then
it could be treated as Vulcan ammo. If at least 1 unit of
ammunition was added to the player, the entire powerup would be
consumed, regardless of how much ammunition remained.
- In D2X single player, if the Vulcan cannon was not picked up, then
ammunition would be taken from it, but the powerup would only be
consumed if all its ammunition was taken.
- In D1X multiplayer, a player who already had a Vulcan cannon could
not get anything from touching a new cannon, and the cannon would
not be changed.
- In D2X multiplayer, a player who already had a Vulcan cannon could
take ammunition from the cannon, but the cannon could not be drained
below VULCAN_AMMO_AMOUNT. If the cannon had VULCAN_AMMO_AMOUNT or
less, then the player could not take ammunition. If the cannon had
more, the player could drain it to that level.
- Replace all that with a simplified version of the D2X rules:
- If the player does not have the cannon, the cannon is picked up
and removed from the mine. The player takes as much of its
ammunition as possible. If the cannon was well stocked, and the
player was nearly full, some ammunition will be lost. This is
unfortunate, but the game has always had this rule, and changing
it would require dropping one or more Vulcan Ammo packs to
represent the untaken ammunition.
- If the player already had that cannon, then the player takes as
much ammunition as the cannon has, while not exceeding the
ammunition cap. Other players, if any, are updated about how much
ammunition remains in the cannon. The cannon remains in the mine.
- Backport to D1X the network message for updating the contained
ammunition in a vulcan cannon. zico added the basic feature in
7684ce92, but only applied it to D2X. With the change to let D1X
multiplayer take ammunition from the cannon, D1X now needs the same
feature.
- Remove the special case to delete an empty cannon. Instead, let the
cannon remain in the mine without ammunition. This allows a player in
single player mode to leave behind a backup cannon, which could be
useful if the player is killed and wishes to rearm before returning to
the death site. Similarly, under the new rule that players in
multiplayer can drain the cannon down to 0 ammunition, this removal
allows the cannon to remain behind for someone else to take, rather
than allowing it to be deleted by a player who already had an instance
of it.
The previous commit removed an incorrect double scaling of the player's
weapon sounds, which will make all such sounds louder. Players with
their FX volume set to maximum will now have twice as loud a sound.
Halve the intensity in the source to return to the volume such players
would have had before. Players with an FX volume less than maximum will
still get a somewhat louder sound than before.
ziplantil reported that in Descent 1, if a player has an empty Vulcan
cannon, and no energy, then attempting to fire a weapon would play the
SOUND_ALREADY_SELECTED clip every frame until the player ceased trying
to fire. The problem does not impact Descent 2 since Descent 2 does not
play this sound sample when trying to activate a weapon that is already
active.
If the current weapon is already LASER_INDEX, then
select_primary_weapon(LASER_INDEX) simplifies to:
```
// Pointless, player already using this weapon
newdemo_record_player_weapon(LASER_INDEX)
if (Primary_weapon != LASER_INDEX) {
// skipped, path is false
}
else
{
if (wait_for_rearm) // true for this path
// Bad, plays every frame
digi_play_sample(SOUND_ALREADY_SELECTED);
}
// Pointless, Primary_weapon already is LASER_INDEX
Primary_weapon = LASER_INDEX;
if (weapon_name)
{
// skipped, path is false
}
```
Skipping the call avoids two pointless statements, one bad statement,
and nothing useful. Therefore, the simplest fix for the problem is to
call select_primary_weapon(LASER_INDEX) only if the primary weapon is
not currently LASER_INDEX.

Level seismic events and Earthshaker seismic events start with different
intensities, but share everything afterward. Move the common parts to a
function.
When Next_seismic_sound_time is non-zero, a seismic sound is playing.
When Next_seismic_sound_time is zero, no sound is playing. Use this to
eliminate the explicit tracking variable Seismic_sound_playing.
