Bug introduced in 76acc4e146.
The previous CUnit code had logic to select random aesthetic variants
once initially. The new code removed that, as I completely missed its
purpose, assuming that the random selection, being based on a seed,
would pick the same variants every time. This is incorrect because
entity selections can change the RNG calls, thus the variants, and thus
entity appearance can change when the animation changes (typically, a
horse will change color when walking and running).
The solution is to re-introduce the choice of actor selections on CUnit
creation. This makes sure that units don't change their purely-aesthetic
selections when e.g. animations change.

This was SVN commit r25844.
Emplace does not replace existing element, insert_or_assign does.
While at it:
- Clean up the 'outdated' logic and reuse it for actors
- When an actor fails to load, return a placeholder. This improves
hotloading of broken actors, and makes Cunit behaviour more predictable.
- Some minor cleanup

This was SVN commit r25308.
An actor file, as referenced by the VisualActor, can now define
different actors for different "quality level" setting.
In this initial version, the quality is handled directly by the object
manager.
Actor format impact:
- '<qualitylevels>' may be used as the root node, containing actor nodes
as children.
- such actor nodes can refer to a file, or to an inline actor, or
simply be inlined.
- such actor nodes may have a 'quality' attribute, specifying the
maximum quality level of this actor. By default, 255 (the maximum) is
implied.
- The actor format remains valid, but 'groups', 'variants', 'material',
'castshadow' and 'float' can be given a [minquality, maxquality[ range
via XML attributes. Outside of this range, the XML node is ignored
(making it possible to define, in a single actor file, several quality
levels).
Quality is a 0-255 value, with:
- Range 0-99 intended for lower level-of-detail actors (billboards,
etc.)
- Range 100-200 the 'normal' range for models. 100 is "low", 150
"medium", and 200 "high".
- Range 201-255 used for higher quality actors that might be used for
e.g. cinematics.
The range is wide to make it easier to add intermediate levels in the
future and it seemed easier given that an integer value of some kind was
required anyways.
Engine impacts:
- A new CActorDef class is introduced, wrapping an art/actors XML file
and its different quality levels. ObjectBase remains the definition of a
given 'actor', now at a given quality level.
- CActorDef imposes a maximal # of quality level for a particular actor
definition (5 currently).
- CUnit is made to refer to an Actor Definition explicitly, not a
particular ObjectBase.
- As a minor optimisation, variation keys are calculated on
pointer-to-sets-of-selections, instead of raw sets-of-selections, as
this reduces copying.
- some refactoring, including better const-correctness and hotloading
support via std::shared_ptr.

This was SVN commit r25210.
Adds scaffold support for foundations, includes two examples for 3x3 and
4x4, fixes#1581.
Extends CmpVisualActor and CUnit to support random variant seeds.
Fixes bug in actor hotloading.
Fixes serialization failure caused by destroying entities in OnDestroy
handlers.
This was SVN commit r13143.
added player_id_t typedef and INVALID_PLAYER, use that instead of -1.
also added sanity checks to cpu.cpp to ensure ARCH_* is correct (see
http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13327&hl=)
and further predefined macros to arch.h just to be sure.
This was SVN commit r8079.

Simplify CNetServer so it doesn't duplicate any client behaviour; all
players now run CNetClient.
Remove most player/slot management from networking code.
Wait for all players to finish loading before starting the simulation.
Remove CGameAttributes; attributes are now just a JS object.
Remove CPlayer; they are now just simulation entities.
Handle player colours via simulation system.

This was SVN commit r7605.
Make animations trigger sound effects.
Adjust attack animation timings to match simulation.
Simplify the animation speed settings.
This was SVN commit r7438.
class static const member apparently sometimes requires external linkage
and enum causes conversion warnings, so go with file-scope constants.
This was SVN commit r6161.
this snowballed into a massive search+destroy of the hodgepodge of
mostly equivalent types we had in use (int, uint, unsigned, unsigned
int, i32, u32, ulong, uintN).
it is more efficient to use 64-bit types in 64-bit mode, so the
preferred default is size_t (for anything remotely resembling a size or
index). tile coordinates are ssize_t to allow more efficient conversion
to/from floating point. flags are int because we almost never need more
than 15 distinct bits, bit test/set is not slower and int is fastest to
type. finally, some data that is pretty much directly passed to OpenGL
is now typed accordingly.
after several hours, the code now requires fewer casts and less
guesswork.
other changes:
- unit and player IDs now have an "invalid id" constant in the
respective class to avoid casting and -1
- fix some endian/64-bit bugs in the map (un)packing. added a
convenience function to write/read a size_t.
- ia32: change CPUID interface to allow passing in ecx (required for
cache topology detection, which I need at work). remove some unneeded
functions from asm, replace with intrinsics where possible.
This was SVN commit r5942.
Added UnitAnimation class, to act as the interface between the entity
and actor. (Currently doesn't work very well, but it does make
animations loop smoothly and sometimes kind of makes them stay
synchronised.)
Fixed corpse animation - it now plays the final frame of the death
animation before turning static.
Fixed update/interpolate timings.
Added JS function saveProfileData.
Updated ffmpeg library.
This was SVN commit r4880.
- Made some classes not be singletons, since there's no reason why they
should be.
- Made them non-global too (because globals have unclear lifetimes, and
make it harder to test things, etc). They're now owned by CGameView and
CWorld, and mostly accessed via g_Game or arguments (vaguely trying to
avoid the graphics code calling into the game code).
- Moved CGameView implementation into pimpl, so the header file isn't
so heavy.
- Changed a few pointers into references, to indicate that they're
never NULL.
This was SVN commit r4756.
Also right-click-and-drag to rotate the camera vertically.
Fixed LookAt code (the algorithm in the gluLookAt man page seems to be
wrong).
This was SVN commit r4394.
Changed player-id code a bit so the entity and actor and unit should
stay in sync more often. (The entity/actor/unit mixing still looks a bit
dodgy and unreliable, though.)
Simplified console help code.
Allowed init/shutdown to be done with the simulation/world/etc parts
disabled (so the actor viewer can load faster).
This was SVN commit r4289.
Atlas: Added ActorViewer. Moved GL canvas into separate class for shared
use. Disabled message-handling callback while blocked on the game, and
stopped creating dialog boxes inside the game thread in order to avoid
deadlocks (hopefully). Support multiple Views (for independent sets of
camera/update/render code). Recalculate territory boundaries when
necessary. Changed default list of animations to match those currently
used by actors.
# Tidied up more code.
Moved some more #includes out of .h files, to minimise unnecessary
compilation.
MathUtil: Deleted unused/unuseful macros (M_PI (use PI instead), M_PI_2
(use PI/2), MAX3, ABS (use abs)).
ObjectManager: Removed some ScEd-specific things.
Unit: Moved creation out of UnitManager, so units can be created without
adding to the manager. Changed CStr8 to the more conventional CStr.
app_hooks: Removed warning for setting multiple times.
win: Restored SEH catcher.
GameSetup, GameView: Removed RenderNoCull, because it doesn't seem to do
what it says it does ("force renderer to load everything") since we're
loading-on-demand most stuff and it doesn't seem especially useful since
we'd prefer to minimise loading times (but feel free to correct me if
I'm wrong). (And because it crashes when things need to be initialised
in a different order, so it's easier to remove than to understand and
fix it.)
PatchRData, Renderer: Work sensibly when there's no game (hence no LOS
manager, water, etc).
LOSManager: Use entity position instead of actor position when possible.
TerritoryManager: Allow delayed recalculations (so Atlas can issue lots
of move+recalculate commands per frame).
Cinematic: Non-pointer wxTimer, so it doesn't leak and doesn't have to
be deleted manually.
This was SVN commit r4261.
Actor variation selection (though not saved to maps, so not very
useful).
Added more levels of complexity to the waiting-for-game-to-respond
message pump, to fix reentrancy problems.
Use number keys to assign player to selected unit.
This was SVN commit r3913.
tex: Reverted recent WARN_RETURN(ERR_TEX_CODEC_CANNOT_HANDLE) changes,
since (I think) it shouldn't warn about that being returned (because it
intentionally happens frequently).
XMLWriter: Trivial inconsequential optimisations (avoiding temporary
strings).
This was SVN commit r3801.
Forced variant names to lowercase. Allowed empty prop model names to
remove inherited props. Removed a little code duplication.
Entity: Changed confusing (and probably incorrect) loop/STL logic, to
use slightly more confusing syntax instead.
This was SVN commit r3761.
