VisibilityType.Footprint reveals from each footprint cell.
VisibilityType.CenterPosition reveals from the
actor’s CenterPosition only (as the original
games did).
The per-actor visibility now tracks all cells
inside the map area (including those outside the
currently visible bounds), but the shroud/fog is
only cleared if the cell is inside the currently
visible bounds.
Remove unnecessary delegate.
Use extension method syntax.
Fix HealthInfo.NotifyAppliedDamage’s desc.
Remove unused using directives.
Remove explicit type declaration in Manifest.
By maintaining a set of changed cells we can avoid repeating work for cells that change multiple times before being rendered. The shroud renderer and radar widget now delay their work until they must render, and thus process each changed cell only once. This avoids significant repetition that was causing major slowdown when many actors were in the world.
A unit with the CreatesShroud or RevealsShroud trait must update all shrouds when it changes position. Calculating the tiles it can currently see is an expensive calculation that previously had to be repeated for every shroud that needed to know these tiles.
Now, we lazily populate a ref parameter to allow it to be reused for an actor if possible. The biggest improvement comes from the fact that allied players can re-use this calculation when updating their shrouds. Since many games includes a neutral player allied to both sides, most games will see a decent speedup.
To resolve the ambiguity introduced when the introduction of isometric maps meant that cell and map coordinates were no longer equivalent, a new type has been introduced so they can each be represented separately.
- Only update shroud within the visible screen area, rather than the whole map. This improves performance on larger maps significantly when scrolling around since large portions of the shroud do not need to be updated.
- Provide methods in Shroud to return delegates to check for explored/visibility for tiles within a certain region. This allows it to return more efficient delegates whenever the region is within the map bounds, or shroud/fog is disabled. In the typical case where the region is in bounds and shroud/fog is enabled, the fast check is almost twice as fast as the slow check.
- Use the Shroud delegate functions in shroud rendering, frozen actors, minimap rendering and resource layer areas to provide a speedup since these areas of code can often take advantage of the fact they perform checks within the map boundary.
- Cache current element in CellRegionEnumerator to prevent repeated work if the element is accessed more than once.
- Decrease the size of elements in some arrays in hopes of reducing memory needs and improving cache hits.
- Extract an enum for edges rather than using magic numbers for everything.
- Remove duplicated code between FoggedEdges and ShroudedEdges by hosting the visibility function into a delegate.
- Make minimap methods more readable.
- Tidy formatting.
- Make some fields readonly.
- Remove unused usings.
