Normalise the vector in K3, which has 16-bit values and separate sign bits, and store the normalised version in XX15 as a signed 8-bit vector. A normalised vector (also known as a unit vector) has length 1, so this routine takes an existing vector in K3 and scales it so the length of the new vector is 1. This is used in two places: when drawing the compass, and when applying AI tactics to ships. We do this in two stages. This stage shifts the 16-bit vector coordinates in K3 to the left as far as they will go without losing any bits off the end, so we can then take the high bytes and use them as the most accurate 8-bit vector to normalise. Then the next stage (in routine NORM) does the normalisation.
Arguments: K3(2 1 0) The 16-bit x-coordinate as (x_sign x_hi x_lo), where x_sign is just bit 7 K3(5 4 3) The 16-bit y-coordinate as (y_sign y_hi y_lo), where y_sign is just bit 7 K3(8 7 6) The 16-bit z-coordinate as (z_sign z_hi z_lo), where z_sign is just bit 7
Returns: XX15 The normalised vector, with: * The x-coordinate in XX15 * The y-coordinate in XX15+1 * The z-coordinate in XX15+2
Other entry points: TA2 Calculate the length of the vector in XX15 (ignoring the low coordinates), returning it in Q
