Changed paths:
   M /trunk/fs2_open/code/graphics/gropenglpostprocessing.cpp

Since bloom can now be changed in-game, we always need to compile the shaders.

Adding the FSU main shaders, FSU post-processing.tbl, as well as the post-processing and FXAA shaders to def_files.

Update thruster rendering (consistently render based on acceleration instead of speed, don't render distant/tiny thrusters)
------------------------------------------------------------------------



[Commander Zane]

Bloom can be changed in-game as in in-mission as well or just in the Ship Lab still?
The thruster bit confuses me, does this mean the thrusters will be large when picking up speed, and then shrinking once it reaches that speed, like Independence War?

[The E]

You can change bloom and FXAA settings in the lab, and those settings will carry over into regular gameplay.

[Commander Zane]

That would explain why the last Karuna I saw had about a full inch of shine on it.

[Dragon]

How can I use the new thruster rendering?
Is it automatic, or does it need to be enabled?

[The E]

It mostly concerns maneuvering thrusters, as used by BtRL and TBP. And it's active by default (the changes are 1: the Thruster size is based on how much acceleration the thrusters produce, and 2: Thrusters on models farther away than ~1000 units will not be rendered).

[Dragon]

Ah, so no changes to main thrusters besiedes rendering range.
That's good to hear.

[Zacam]

If I'm not mistaken, as well it also bases itself on dynamic sizing. It's not that they all have the same cutoff distance regardless of size, but that the size is now a factor for determining (or at least one of the considered elements) for when to.
