Fixes#3
This is something I've been thinking of doing for awhile. The
automatic leaving can be frustrating if you were trying to collect
the money dropped by the enemy and you're suddenly forced out of
the mission. This prevents that by simply waiting to do the exit
sequence until no worthwhile collectables are left in the area.
Ellesh and Mars are excluded since this won't really work in those
areas. Also excluded by Classic and Nightmare difficulties.
I reduced the chance of smoke happening a given frame from 1/5 to 1/10,
and removed the check that stopped adding the "engine" effect to the
player if low on shield, so it now shows both when damaged.
At first I just went in to fix some places that were missing gettext
translations, but on the way as I was doing that, I noticed some
places where ngettext should be used, a bug in the fallback legacy
text rendering, and some things that could be structured better in
the Autoconf / Automake setup. Fixed those.
The original method just looked for non-firing targets, which caused
Sid to piss around a bit with the non-target transports. This new
method just targets the specific classes Sid is always going after,
cargo ships and bosses.
The way it previously was, in particular, Sid 100% refused to attack
fighting vessels and Phoebe and Ursula 100% refused to attack
non-fighting vessels. This was most notable with the Urusor mission,
where Sid would just become completely idle after disabling the last
non-combat vessel and would often just drift off into the distance
as a result (especially annoying in Classic difficulty as this
could make it very difficult to find the remaining enemies).
So now, instead these targets are treated as "undesirables", which
normally will be avoided but will be accepted after 30 frames.
This stops allies from idling around forever.
This rule has also been applied to a rule that didn't allow targeting
enemies beyond a particular distance.
I'm keeping it in Classic difficulty for now, but might add an
exception later.
