This fixes the layer preshade color to be black when runtime lighting is
requested. Further, both preshade and runtime are properly set to black
for emissive layers.
This appropriately marks spans as VtxNonPreshaded if they use vertex
alpha or runtime lighting. In those cases, we properly fold the runtime
light color into the vertex color as expected by Plasma.
This matches us up more closely with what PlasmaMAX does and allows us
to really fix x-raying effects by properly forcing objects into the
correct render pass.
We were only comparing connections in one direction in order to make the
list of suggestions. This ensures that suggested connections are
validated in both directions.
Blender can crash during export when baking vertex colors to shared mesh
data objects. Doing that can lead to lighting gotchas, but it's better
to have lighting gotchas than crashes.
The commentary about PointerProps and update callbacks appears to be
incorrect. Maybe it was broken in a beta release of Blender 2.79? Works
fine in Blender 2.79b.
This enables the Blender Mesh Normal panel and exports any double sided
mesh with double sided layers to Plasma. The implication is that the
mesh will be rendered twice in game--the second time with the winding
reversed. Wavesets marked double sided are ignored due to the runtime
generation of layers in game. Trying to make a double sided waveset is
therefore nonsense.
This allows directing the message to *all* modifiers -- this is
primarily only useful for ladders, but some other types may respect the
message. Also exposed the ability to send the message to child objects.
Translation of the rules posted by Sirius @ https://forum.guildofwriters.org/viewtopic.php?p=73757#p73757
PotS is in worldspace when the mass is non-zero. Plasma likely detects
nonzero mass as "this object can move" and expects localspace. MOUL on
the other hand uses localspace if the object has a CI, otherwise
worldspace.
It appears that in Havok-physics enabled versions of Plasma, plEnableMsg
does not affect physics. Therefore, we have to send the PotS-era
plSimSuppressMsg to do this job.
MOUL/DX9 will not rt light any vertex with a near-zero component in its
normal. This prevents shadows and decals from appearing on flat surfaces
in Ages exported for the MOUL engine. Instead of fighting with the
pipeline and vertex buffer code in Plasma, we'll just clamp the values
here.
