While this is strictly speaking a D2 format, any
D2 mod is pretty much guaranteed to use Mods.D2k,
so this should be a good enough place to move it to.
By default WithDamageOverlay uses the actors'
palette, but RA's desert terrain uses the TD desert.pal
which isn't compatible with RA's fire animation shps.
Removes the 'activeMCVs' list since it was not useful.
The real bugfix is not iterating over 'activeMCVs' when issueing new orders
(this was previously needed for already discovered mcvs that stopped)
but over 'newMCVs' instead.
Replace Constants.CellCost and Constants.DiagonalCellCost with a dynamically calculated value based on the lowest cost terrain to traverse. Using a fixed value meant the pathfinder heuristics would be incorrect.
In the four default mods, the minimum cost is in fact 100, not 125. This increase would essentially allow the pathfinder to return suboptimal paths up to 25% longer in the worst case, but it would be quicker to do so.
This is exactly what Weighted A* does - overestimate the heuristic by some factor in order to speed up the search by checking fewer routes. This makes the heuristic inadmissible and it may now return suboptimal paths, but their worst case length is bounded by the weight. A weight of 125% will never produce paths more than 25% longer than the shortest, optimal, path.
We set the default weight to 25% to effectively maintain the existing, suboptimal, behaviour due to the choice of the old constant - in future it may prove a useful tuning knob for performance.
Fix MCV Manager glitch when restrict building area is enabled. It was checking if the location was close enough to the Base center instead of using the MCV Managers min and max ranges. This would cause it to often have no valid locations despite having a huge range.
Add PlaceDefenseTowardsEnemyChance trait to basebuilderbotmodule. This defeaults to 100 which is the current behavior. This change now allows you to set the chance that bots will place defenses evenly around the base like the AI in stock red alert and Tiberian sun did.
To avoid creating copied data in memory (e.g. via MemoryStream), this method can be used to reference offsets on files on disk, reducing memory requirements.
