- Add prefixes to all message keys to provide context
- Use messages with attributes for some UI elements (dropdowns, dialogs, checkboxes, menus)
- Rename some class fields for consistency with translation keys
Minor adjustment into the D2k
- Add rally point into the Palace
- removed harvester MustBeDestroyed in campaing
- Players can see they carryalls and ornothopers under the fog.
- Increased CameraRemoveDelay on Superweapons so player can see superweapon impact.
Activated with the '/path-debug' chat command, this displays the explored search space and costs when searching for paths. It supports custom movement layers, bi-directional searches as well as visualizing searches over the abstract graph of the HierarchicalPathFinder. The most recent search among selected units is shown.
Teach HierarchicalPathFinder to keep a cache of domain indices, refreshing them only on demand and when invalidated by terrain changes. This provides an accurate and quick determination for checking if paths exist between given locations.
By exposing PathExistsForLocomotor on the IPathFinder interface, we can remove the DomainIndex trait entirely.
Replaces the existing bi-directional search between points used by the pathfinder with a guided hierarchical search. The old search was a standard A* search with a heuristic of advancing in straight line towards the target. This heuristic performs well if a mostly direct path to the target exists, it performs poorly it the path has to navigate around blockages in the terrain. The hierarchical path finder maintains a simplified, abstract graph. When a path search is performed it uses this abstract graph to inform the heuristic. Instead of moving blindly towards the target, it will instead steer around major obstacles, almost as if it had been provided a map which ensures it can move in roughly the right direction. This allows it to explore less of the area overall, improving performance.
When a path needs to steer around terrain on the map, the hierarchical path finder is able to greatly improve on the previous performance. When a path is able to proceed in a straight line, no performance benefit will be seen. If the path needs to steer around actors on the map instead of terrain (e.g. trees, buildings, units) then the same poor pathfinding performance as before will be observed.
- Split control groups management to its own interface
- Add hotkeys for selecting, creating, adding to and combining with control groups
- Add a ControlGroups widget to manage the player interaction
As far as I could tell, this was the last place that still
used 'seconds' instead of ticks, apart from
some sound notification intervals (which are better
converted to real [milli]seconds).
Also renamed ScaredyCat.PanicLength to PanicDuration for
consistency and easier finding.
* ResourceType trait has been removed.
* Simulation-related data is now defined on the
ResourceLayer (which mods can subclass/replace).
* Support non-money resources by moving the resource
values to the PlayerResources trait.
* Allow mods to disable the neighbour density override
and instead always use the map-defined densities.
* Allow mods to define their own resource placement
logic (e.g. allow resources on slopes) by subclassing
(Editor)ResourceLayer.
* Improve ability to subclass/override ResourceRenderer
by exposing more virtual methods.
