Calculate a rolling average of FPS over the last second. This allows the FPS counter to be updated every frame - and in particular means it can display a rough figure immediately rather than needing to wait one second to collect information at the start of a game.
When the widget is created, use the current frame as reference rather than always using zero. That avoids the first FPS reading from a new widget calculating as if all frames rendered since the game started occurred in the first second.
Previously the StartGameNotification and MusicPlaylist traits used the IWorldLoaded interface to play an audio notification and begin music when the game started. However this interface is used by many traits to perform initial loading whilst the load screen was visible, and this loading can take time. Since the traits could run in any order, then audio notification might fire before another trait with a long loading time. This is not ideal as we want the time between the audio notification occurring and the player being able to interact to be as short and reliable as possible.
Now, we introduce a new IPostWorldLoaded which runs after all other loading activity, and we switch StartGameNotification and MusicPlaylist to use it. This allows timing sensitive traits that want to run right at the end of loading to fire reliably and with minimal delay. The player perception of hearing the notification and being able to interact is now much snappier.
Also avoid ReadBytes calls that allocate a buffer by either updating the stream position (if not interested in the bytes), by reusing an input buffer (if interested in the bytes), or using a stackalloc buffer to avoid the allocation (for small reads).
This takes a list of map UIDs which may be locally installed or hosted
on the resource center. If any maps aren't found, startup will be
delayed by up to 10 seconds while it attempts to query the resource
center.
Disabling the shroud is sufficient to allow seeing the map. This fixes a game with the "Explored Map" option enabled. Previously using the `/all` command twice to toggle it on and off again would also reset the shroud, causing the map to no longer be explored. Now, using it twice will cause the map to remain explored, as intended when the "Explored Map" option is enabled.
The domains in HierarchicalPathFinder can be compared to find disjoint areas. For example islands on a water map will belong to different domains. Use these domains in path searches to allow us to bail out early if a path is impossible, e.g. trying to path between different islands. Keeping the domains updated via the RebuildDomains method adds some cost to the average path search, but that savings from path searches that can bail early pays for this many times over.
The ignoreSelf flag is intended to allow the current actor to be ignored when checking for blocking actors. This check worked correctly for cells occupied by a single actor. When a cell was occupied by multiple actors, the check was only working if the current actor happened to be the first actor. This is incorrect, if the current actor is anywhere in the cell then this flag should apply.
This flag failing to be as effective as intended meant that checks in methods such as PathFinder.FindPathToTargetCells would consider the source cell inaccessible, when it should have considered the cell accessible. This is a disaster for performance as an inaccessible cell requires a slow fallback path that performs a local path search. This means pathfinding was unexpectedly slow when this occurred. One scenario is force attacking with a group of infantry sharing the same cell. They should benefit from this check to do a fast path search, but failed to benefit from this check and the search would be slow instead.
Applying the flag correctly resolves the performance impact.
