Previously, some paths used a separator and some did not. This broke some de-duplication logic in ExternalMods which tried to enumerate distinct paths but would end up running logic on the same directory more than one as it was provided both with and without a trailing directory separator. By normalizing the path this logic now works.
This also removes a workaround that allowed the current mod to be
registered even if it defined a bogus path. Uses of Game.ExternalMods
should therefore always use TryGetValue and correctly handle it
returning false.
- Extract chat line templates and logic so they can be reused across widgets
- Make text notification styling entirely template driven (by removing chat color configuration and making color optional for `TextNotification`)
- Add a new TextNotificationsDisplay widget (based on and replacing ChatDisplayWidget)
- Add timestamp support to text notifications
In CellInfoLayerPool, instead of having to store a layer with the default values, we know we can just clear the pooled layer in order to reset it. This saves on memory, and also makes resetting marginally faster.
In PathSearch, we need to amend a check to ensure a cell info is not Unvisited before we check on its cost.
We observe that most cells within a map lie within a region where no matter their height, their projection would still remain in map bounds. We can utilise this to perform a fast check for such cells and skipping the expensive checks on their actual height. We only need to check the actual height of a cell if this could cause the projection to go out of bounds.
By making the constructor take non-optional parameters, this highlights some calls sites which were forgetting to set these values. These are now fixed.
Set the path debug to have a marker size of 2 for better visibility.
The ping/pong orders are replaced with a dedicated
(and much smaller) Ping packet that is handled
directly in the client and server Connection wrappers.
This allows clients to respond when the orders are
processed, instead of queuing the pong order to be
sent in the next frame (which added an extra 120ms
of unwanted latency).
The ping frequency has been raised to 1Hz, and pings
are now routed through the server events queue in
preparation for the future dynamic latency system.
The raw ping numbers are no longer sent to clients,
the server instead evaluates a single ConnectionQuality
value that in the future may be based on more than
just the ping times.
* EchoConnection is now a trivial buffer that stores
and repeats orders directly without serialization.
* NetworkConnection no longer subclasses EchoConnection,
and now also caches local orders without serialization.
* Replay recording was moved to NetworkConnection
(it is never used on EchoConnection).
* TSVeinsRenderer now shows border cells on the radar
* BuildableTerrainLayer now uses the radar colors defined on the individual tiles
* CliffBackImpassabilityLayer no longer overrides the underlying terrain color.
This is less realistic, but better matches the original
game and is the only practical way to reduce visual issues
caused by long shadows being cast over multiple cells.
