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.
- Made private methods static where possible (runtime can elide checking the object for null).
- Declared attribute classes as sealed (allows reflection on attributes to complete faster).
- Moved some static cctor's into field initializers (static cctor's are slower than static field initializers).
- Made classes static if they contained only static methods (can't create instances of useless objects).
- Use inferable Exts.Lazy and not new Lazy<T>().
- Added required STAThread attribute to CrashDialog.
- Removed unused parameters in private methods.
- Added Serializable attribute to exceptions.
- Added parameter name in calls to ArgumentNullException.
- Use of as operator instead of is + cast.
- Changed (x as Foo).Bar anti-pattern into ((Foo)x).Bar. Results in sensible cast exceptions on error rather than null dereferences.
- Removed unused method in NullShader.
Targeted some methods that generated allocated a lot of memory in the main game loop:
- Actor.Render - Changed LINQ calls into equivalent loops. No allocation for delegates.
- Animation.Render - Returned an array rather than a yield expression. The array uses less memory than the complier generated enumerable.
- FrozenActor and FrozenUnderFog - Materialize the footprint into an array: The enumerable is not-trivial to evaluate is and evaluated many times inside the Tick function. The memory needed is minimal. Changed LINQ into equivalent loops to prevent delegate allocation. Should result in overall much faster calls.
- Widget.GetEventBounds - Changed LINQ calls into equivalent loops.
- MobileInfo.CanEnterCell - Changed LINQ calls into equivalent loops. Don't materialize list of blocking actors every time, instead enumerate them and only when they need to be checked.
- FrozenUnderFog.TickRender - Generate the renderables lazily and also remove a no-op Select call.
* Use Pair instead of KeyValuePair
* double -> var
* Butcher XML comments
* Change WinState default to Undefined and use it instead of the new GameOutcome
* Other changes
List of changes:
* Better and more filters with new layout, for both mods.
* Rename/Delete/Detele all functionality.
* Simplified ReplayMetadata class considerably by introducing a new
GameInformation data object. The new GameInformation class contains
more information than previously available so the new solution is not
compatible with old replays, meaning it can't read old replays.
* Better and cleaner game information gathering in order to be written
at the end of the replay file.
* Revert changes to ReplayConnection, no longer necessary.
* Better exception message on missing sprites and fonts.
* New "SpawnOccupant" class that holds all the information needed by the
MapPreviewWidget to visualize a spawn point. It was using Session.Client
before and it was necessary to separate it to be able to show information
not available at lobby time.
* Fix keyboard focus UI bug when closing a window would not remove focus.
This closes issue #2152. The filters added are:
* Game type (singleplayer / multiplayer)
* Date
* Duration
* Outcome
* Player name
Other changes:
* Added a 'CollapseHiddenChildren' option to the ScrollPanelWidget to
make hidden children take up no space.
* Removed the extension (.rep) from the replay filenames in the
replay browser.
This is not a full fix, it merely restores the functionality
already present. The ScrollPanelWidget does not work right if
Align is set to Bottom but ScrollToBottom() isn't called after
adding items and there's not enough content to scroll.
It wasn't working right when the widget was hidden because it
wasn't receiving any Ticks. Instead of counting, we're now using
Game.LocalTick as the tick source.
If a line of text contained a whole word that was longer than the
allotted space, it would fail to wrap that line completely, even
if it was possible to wrap at other locations.
Fixing this uncovered a second issue, where it would drop the last
line if the input had more than one lines and one of the first ones
was wider than the specified width.
