Additionally exposed an InitializeSettings method on game to initialize the global settings so that other classes can set up all the secret dependencies on the global settings required.
The getter is accessed exactly once, at call time.
The setter is stored, and invoked later on losing focus, but we pass a
bogus one anyway, so there is no issue.
- Add separate ImmutablePalette and MutablePalette classes since the distinction is extremely important to HardwarePalette.
- Keep a cache of palettes in HardwarePalette to avoid reallocation them every time ApplyModifiers is called.
- Palettes that are not allowed to be modified are copied to the buffer once when added, rather than every time ApplyModifiers is called.
- The AdjustPalette method now takes a read-only dictionary to prevent the dictionary being messed with.
- Added a constant for the palette size to remove its usage as a magic number in several areas.
- The ColorPreviewManagerWidget is annoying in that it needs to actually permanently update a palette after it has been added. To allow this, HardwarePalette now allows a palette to be replaced after initialization. The WorldRenderer therefore now also updates the PaletteReference it created earlier with the new palette to prevent stale data being used elsewhere.
Method is now called ToDictionary.
- Cached a few invocations into locals which should prevent some redundant evaluation.
- Added ToDictionary overloads that take projection functions for the keys and elements, since several callsites were doing a subsequent Linq.ToDictionary call to get this.
- Made private methods static where possible (runtime can elide checking the object for null).
- Declared attribute classes as sealed (allows reflection on attributes to complete faster).
- Moved some static cctor's into field initializers (static cctor's are slower than static field initializers).
- Made classes static if they contained only static methods (can't create instances of useless objects).
- Use inferable Exts.Lazy and not new Lazy<T>().
- Added required STAThread attribute to CrashDialog.
- Removed unused parameters in private methods.
- Added Serializable attribute to exceptions.
- Added parameter name in calls to ArgumentNullException.
- Use of as operator instead of is + cast.
- Changed (x as Foo).Bar anti-pattern into ((Foo)x).Bar. Results in sensible cast exceptions on error rather than null dereferences.
- Removed unused method in NullShader.
Fixes:
* Nuclear-purple color exploit.
* #3247.
* Removes a bunch of unnecessary color conversions every frame.
Caveats:
* The ramp range is now defined on the palette, so ramps can no longer be set per-player (may impact maps which define custom colors).
* It's no longer possible to perfectly recreate the original WW color ramps (I doubt we care).
* The old ColorRamp setting isn't migrated, so players will lose their color settings.
