Certain sounds - such as those coming from the UI - aren't supposed to
sound as if they're coming from a given position. This is currently
accomplished by positioning the OpenAL source at the camera position.
This works, but if the camera position drastically moves during the
sound being played then it's possible to hear the sound fade out.
This pull request makes camera movement no longer affect global sounds,
by specifying their position as being (0, 0, 0) relative to the listener
position.
The easiest way to test this is to start a mission, press E to grab when
there's nothing in front of you, and scroll the mouse wheel quickly.
Pressing E will show the nothing-to-grab message which plays a beep
sound, and scrolling will quickly move the camera. Prior to this pull
request, the sound will fade, after this pull request it won't.
Fixes#1087.
This improves the loading time a lot. Time from starting the app to opening game window decreased by almost 5 seconds (it's almost instant now). Mission loading times are significantly better too. As a bonus, the playmusic() CBot function doesn't hang the game if you don't preload the files with CacheAudio in scene file.
* removed -mod argument
* removed -datadir argument
* removed -lang argument
* removed some dead ui code
* added resource manager and file loaders (stream and SDL)
* changed interface textures location to match new directory structure
* removed CGameData for mod support
* added PhysFS support
* changed channel limit from 64 to 2048 that will decrease if error is found while trying to play sound
* added id to each channel to avoid collisions when more than 1 object tries to modify a sound
* minor formatting changes
As requested by @Emxx52. Only code for now, we don't have the music yet. Temporairly in developements builds music will change to Prototype (in CBot editor) and Constructive Destruction (in SatCom)
