Both player names and chat commands can be completed.
Names of local players and bots are not candidates for completion.
If a completed name is the first word ": " is appended to the end.
The hotkey for toggling team/all chat has been moved to left Alt.
PR #5967 only made planes not lose their selection when they strayed
outside the map border. This PR makes it possible to select them when
they already are outside the map. It also ensures that the selection
decorations are drawn. Rank designations, however, will disappear when
a unit leaves the map.
Fixes#5651 for real, then.
Sheets carry a managed buffer of data that allows updates to be made without having to constantly fetch and set data to the texture memory of the video card. This is useful for things like SheetBuilder which make small progressive changes to sheets.
However these buffers are often large and are kept alive because sheets are referenced by the sprites that use them. If this buffer is explicitly null'ed when it is no longer needed then the GC can reclaim it. Sometimes a buffer need not even be created because the object using the sheet only works on the texture directly anyway.
In practise, this reduced memory consumed by such buffers from ~165 MiB to ~112 MiB (at the start of a new RA skirmish mission).
Hitting Ctrl+Shift+C will re-initialize the chrome provider,
reloading all chrome files instantly. Useful when changing the
UI.
Note: A new "RootWidget" was created to trap top-level (global)
shortcuts instead of putting everything in Widget.
- Change Map.LoadMapTiles and Map.LoadResourceTiles to read the whole stream into memory before processing individual bytes. This removes the cost of significant overhead from repeated calls to ReadUInt8/16.
- Remove significant UI jank caused by the map chooser by not including the placeholder widget. The maps render fast enough that it is no longer worthwhile and it was causing a lot of flushes which were the source of the jank.
- Trigger async generation for all maps when the chooser is loaded. This means in practice all previews will be ready by the time the user begins to scroll the selection. Since generation is fast, there is no issue with scrolling straight to the bottom and having to wait for the backlog to clear.
