Based on testing and feedback from Zacam and The_E (and Zacam kindly separating my code from some of the other stuff in his nightlies), the latest attempt at streaming ANI.

Get it here.

Changes (vs trunk 5620):

• Extra debug in bmpman.cpp when bitmap handle asserts are hit
• Added function to bmpman.cpp to get the type of a bitmap (used in streaming ANI code to check whether the animation is actually an ANI)
• Added ANI streaming/rendering support (Mantis 2003, loaded into memory for performance reasons)
• Fixed techroom weapons animations
• Fixed crash in ship select screen when 3d models are turned off
• Fixed ship select screen animations not restarting but continuing on from where they left off
• Fixed weapon select models for missiles being erased (Mantis 2002)
• Fixed multiplayer countdown animation not appearing for clients
• Techroom weapon and intel animations are now centered (Mantis 1943)

TODO:

• Add support for slightly broken retail ANIs (e.g. 2_ssfighter01.ani (GTF Ulysses) has keyframes defined in reverse order) - complete
• Investigate centering of techroom animations - complete
• EFF container format
• Streaming EFF container format

EDIT: updated patch, fixes more issues

w00t. Naturally, I read this while I am at work, but I'll be jumping all over this as soon as I get home.

• Fixed techroom weapons animations

Does this mean they're centered now if we use nonstandard resolutions?

[Flaming_Sword]

Damn, I haven't been testing with nonstandard resolutions. This was to fix them not playing properly at all.

I'll look into it.

[Galemp]

Just to clarify, I'm referring to nonstandard ANI resolutions, not screen resolutions. It's Mantis no. 1943. I assigned it to Goober, since he did the centering code for the CB Anims, but if you're in that area feel free to take a shot at it.

[Flaming_Sword]

I see. Not too hard, since I did convert the centering for CB anims. I'll try to get it working.

EDIT: updated first post, new patch for download, fixed dodgy animations and centering in techroom

Thanks!
