Currently when linting translations, we check for any unused translation keys. This works fine for the default mods, which own the entire sets of translation files. For community mods, they often import the translation files from the common mod assets, but they may only use some of the translations provided. Currently, they would get warnings about not using translations from the common files they have imported.
Since the community mods don't own those translations, getting warnings about it is annoying. To solve this issue, introduce a AllowUnusedTranslationsInExternalPackages in the mod.yaml which defaults to true. This will prevent reporting of unused translation keys from external assets. Keys that are used for external assets will still be validated, and keys from the mod assets will be both validated and unused keys will be reported.
We default the new flag to true and don't provide an update rule. This means community mods will get the new behaviour. For the default mods, we do want to check the "external" assets, since we control those assets. So the default mods have their mod.yaml updated to disable the flag and retain the existing behaviour of checking everything.
- EditorActorLayer now tracks previews on map with a SpatiallyPartitioned instead of a Dictionary. This allows the copy-paste logic to call an efficient PreviewsInCellRegion method, instead of asking for previews cell-by-cell.
- EditorActorPreview subscribes to the CellEntryChanged methods on the map. Previously the preview was refreshed regardless of which cell changed. Now the preview only regenerates if the preview's footprint has been affected.
- Rename the filename parameter to name and make it mandatory. Review all callers and ensure a useful string is provided as input, to ensure sufficient context is included for logging and debugging. This can be a filename, url, or any arbitrary text so include whatever context seems reasonable.
- When several MiniYamls are created that have similar content, provide a shared string pool. This allows strings that are common between all the yaml to be shared, reducing long term memory usage. We also change the pool from a dictionary to a set. Originally a Dictionary had to be used so we could call TryGetValue to get a reference to the pooled string. Now that more recent versions of dotnet provide a TryGetValue on HashSet, we can use a set directly without the memory wasted by having to store both keys and values in a dictionary.
This rule no longer appears to be buggy, so enforce it. Some of the automated fixes are adjusted in order to improve the result. #pragma directives have no option to control indentation, so remove them where possible.
As the `touched` cell layer uses Boolean values, Array.IndexOf is able to use a fast vectorised search. Most values in the array are false, so the search is able to significantly improve the performance of finding the next true value in the array.
When handling the Nodes collection in MiniYaml, individual nodes are located via one of two methods:
// Lookup a single key with linear search.
var node = yaml.Nodes.FirstOrDefault(n => n.Key == "SomeKey");
// Convert to dictionary, expecting many key lookups.
var dict = nodes.ToDictionary();
// Lookup a single key in the dictionary.
var node = dict["SomeKey"];
To simplify lookup of individual keys via linear search, provide helper methods NodeWithKeyOrDefault and NodeWithKey. These helpers do the equivalent of Single{OrDefault} searches. Whilst this requires checking the whole list, it provides a useful correctness check. Two duplicated keys in TS yaml are fixed as a result. We can also optimize the helpers to not use LINQ, avoiding allocation of the delegate to search for a key.
Adjust existing code to use either lnear searches or dictionary lookups based on whether it will be resolving many keys. Resolving few keys can be done with linear searches to avoid building a dictionary. Resolving many keys should be done with a dictionary to avoid quaradtic runtime from repeated linear searches.
This changeset is motivated by a simple concept - get rid of the MiniYaml.Clone and MiniYamlNode.Clone methods to avoid deep copying yaml trees during merging. MiniYaml becoming immutable allows the merge function to reuse existing yaml trees rather than cloning them, saving on memory and improving merge performance. On initial loading the YAML for all maps is processed, so this provides a small reduction in initial loading time.
The rest of the changeset is dealing with the change in the exposed API surface. Some With* helper methods are introduced to allow creating new YAML from existing YAML. Areas of code that generated small amounts of YAML are able to transition directly to the immutable model without too much ceremony. Some use cases are far less ergonomic even with these helper methods and so a MiniYamlBuilder is introduced to retain mutable creation functionality. This allows those areas to continue to use the old mutable structures. The main users are the update rules and linting capabilities.
This avoids loading, parsing and merging YAML rules for the mod during loading of each individual map. This saves significant time resolving custom rules on each map loaded.
