[0.96a-RC8] Combat Misc Utilities v0.4.0
« on: December 05, 2022, 07:58:49 AM »



This mod is a library mod that is required for several other mods I have in development. Other mods may use this as a dependency but I do not guarantee support unless you message me about write/release access to the git repository.

Feature List
Shaders:
    -High performance pooled particle renderers with full control over particle behaviour
        -Simple to implement and debug
        -Use default or custom compute methods to determine particle advance behaviour per frame
            -Use to change alpha, shape, colour etc. over time
        -Particle count cap settings to stop bad implementations overwhelming others
        -Uses global manager to prevent going over particle cap
    -Sprite renderer
    -Implosion effect shader
    -Segmented line shader program renderer for trails etc.
        -Render sprites or custom shader programs along segments
        -Additional helper class for managing trail instances
    -Supports custom shader plugins that extend BaseRenderPlugin
    -Requires OpenGL 3.3 support
Subsystems:
    -Feature-complete scripts that mimic ship systems
    -Allows for arbitrary script execution based on specific ship
    -Can be applied in any combination
    -Automatic hotkey mapping
    -Fully custom UI implemented
        -Hooks for rendering own UI without visual overlaps
Barebones Immediate GUI Library
    - buttons, text, text input, panels, grids
    - used for multiplayer UI
    - screen scaling not yet supported
Debug GUI:
    -Display data from any script with global methods
    -Requires data to be set per-frame, smooth fadeout over 1 second
    -Uses simple keymap system to maintain text in list
    -Flexible graphing tool
    -Dynamic display panel adjustment with '[' ']' keys
    -Support for custom renderer containers

Question: does this library supersede the DroneUtils lib?

Hi @tomatopaste

I have a problem with your Combat Misc Utilities mod.
Once activated, when I press my - key (AZERTY keyboard) the game crashes and displays a dialog box with Some Text marked on it.

Do you need my starsector.log and mods installed?
