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.
The problem was incorrect logic in the start-next-segment-of-the-path
code that was added to allow multiple segments to be handled within the
same update. I'm not sure how this worked before but it seemed to give
continuous paths! Likely that's because the pathing for contact actions
is different.
Also added more sanity checks in Aura.cpp for deleted entities in the
m_Influenced queue. There was a crash caused by something here though
it's hard to reproduce.
This was SVN commit r5597.
Put all entity cleanup code in kill(), so the JS function Kill() can
just call kill(), and made the code more correct in both cases. Also
fixed a bug with auras (a unit kept around auras that had been deleted).
Also fixed up some notifier code that was causing crashes (although that
can still happen in some cases).
Fixes#176.
This was SVN commit r4810.
Game, Simulation, etc: Separated 'update' and 'interpolate', and made
'update' return whether it's going fast enough (so callers can decide to
do more updates per render). Changed some time variables to 'double' so
they have enough precision in long games.
Atlas: Added "Fast" playback button. Made simulation sometimes go at
real-time speed, if it's just slightly too slow at rendering.
VertexBuffer: Removed some non-useful glGetError calls.
Entity: Commented out redundant Tick code. Fixed syntax error in
disabled code that confused the IDE.
Aura: Changed string code again, to simply use ASCII instead of UTF-16.
(SpiderMonkey seems to handle it just as efficiently, for small
strings.)
Misc: Some more minor header-file cleanup.
SVN log: Added feed link.
This was SVN commit r4807.
Profiler: now shows "mem allocs" for the previous frame (only in MSVC
Debug mode).
Aura: got rid of a couple of hundred allocations per frame.
This was SVN commit r4805.
-Auras now take additional parameters from XML, containing a tag for r,
g, b, and a. No line thickness parameter yet.
-For territories, added function to frustum for determining if line
segment passes through the frustum.
This was SVN commit r4242.
- renamed sysdep/unix/ functions where necessary
- more int -> LibError conversions in the sysdep/unix/ part
- added some explicit #include statements where necessary
- moved enum LibError/ErrorReaction declarations
(gcc doesn't support forward enum declarations)
This was SVN commit r3267.
- Times on auras (a unit must be in range for X seconds for the aura to
start affecting it)
- An efficient GetInRange implementation in CEntityManager using a
quadtree or something of the sort (current one is linear in the number
of entities).
This was SVN commit r3238.
