[PATCH] Cinematic camera improvemets

[fabio]

Some suggestions splitted from #3301.

• mouse cursor should be disabled during cutscenes; also if you are selecting units when cutscene start you see the selection rectangle during all the cutscene (preliminary patch available in #3301);
• if I run at double speed (more options setting) the cutscene play at 1x speed but terminates before (probably at half time); possible solution is to reset speed to 1x when on cutscene mode;
• add at least a working demo;

Possible future ideas:

• add cutscene on every game ending (either win or loose):
  • 1) simulation stops;
  • 2) human units change to cheering animation;
  • 3) camera moves over winning soldiers or other interesting hotspots until;
  • 4) player press the button to continue or quit;
• add cutscene on game start:
  • 1) simulation stops;
  • 2) camera moves from the CC up to the traditional camera starting position using some path (a spiral around the CC);
  • 3) simulation start again;
• show an introductory cutscene on game start, eventually only on the first run (and ability to show it again through menu).

Demo map

I've included a working demo map above. The map is based completely on Vladislav's work, I only added some commands for different units, so the map doesn't look static (and you see the game is actually running).

Adds spline description, fix target spline building

Forgot to remove the review tag ...

[Vladislav Belov]

• fix elexis issue (couldn't play a path twice, CCmpCinemaManager.cpp:198 CurrentPathElapsedTime wasn't be cleared, so after start a path will be already ended)
• remove duplication of the node drawing code (CCinemaPath.cpp:174-191, using for debugging and atlas), instead of hardcoded target spline rendering
• fix delay issue (when camera stays few seconds after playing), (CCinemaPath.cpp:359, CCmpCinemaManager.cpp:202, earlier path won't be popped from queue immediately after end, pop back from queue xor cinema end)
• fix serializing (target nodes missed, CCmpCinemaManager.cpp:107, were usual position nodes instead of target nodes)

In 18041:

Cleanup cinema code. Fix some issues with resetting of times. Patch by Vladislav. Refs #3814

[Vladislav Belov]

• fix issue with multiple target nodes between two position nodes (i.e. you wasn't able to put node with only target param)
• cinemapath could change any camera (passing by param)
• improve reading/writing path

Play cinematic paths on arbitrary cameras to prepare previews of the camera frustum in atlas. Patch by Vladislav, refs #3814.

Moving to the new WIP milestone.

First part of the patch was committed, see above, remaining patch at ​https://code.wildfiregames.com/D124

[elexis]

In 19317:

Allow Cinematic Path nodes that only specify a camera position or direction and group them by deltatime.
Remove the support of saving the rotation of camera position nodes, because that should be rewritten to use a custom spline.
