Previously we had a single culling frustum based on the main camera, and
any object outside the frustum would never get rendered, even if it
should actually contribute to shadows or reflections/refractions. This
caused ugly pop-in effects in the shadows and reflections while
scrolling.
Extend the renderer to support multiple cull groups, each with a
separate frustum and with separate lists of submitted objects, so that
shadows and reflections will render the correctly culled sets of
objects.
Update the shadow map generation to compute the (hopefully) correct
bounds and matrices for this new scheme.
Include terrain patches in the shadow bounds, so hills can cast shadows
correctly.
Remove the code that tried to render objects slightly outside the camera
frustum in order to reduce the pop-in effect, since that was a
workaround for the lack of a proper fix.
Remove the model/patch filtering code, which was used to cull objects
that were in the normal camera frustum but should be excluded from
reflections/refractions, since that's redundant now too.
Inline DistanceToPlane to save a few hundred usecs per frame inside
CCmpUnitRenderer::RenderSubmit.
Fixes#504, #579.
This was SVN commit r15445.
This commit contains all the required changes to our source files and
build scripts (hopefully).
A next commit will remove the old stuff of SpiderMonkey 1.8.5.
Spcial thanks to:
- H4writer who helped a lot mainly with the performance issues we
had/have, but also with other problems or questions.
- Leper for the review.
- Historic_bruno for implementing the build scripts on Mac OS X and
testing on the Mac.
- The people from the #jsapi channel and from
mozilla.dev.tech.js-engine who answered a lot of questions and helped
solving problems.

This was SVN commit r14877.
Fix particles in Actor Viewer.
Expand terrain in Actor Viewer.
Change background to black so it blends with the LOS texture more
nicely.
This was SVN commit r9172.
Change lighting model for new maps to allow better overbrightness.
Cache player colours instead of loading from scripts every time the
renderer wants them.
This was SVN commit r9123.
Add shift+wheel (and Q/E, and ctrl+arrows, and ctrl+WASD) to rotate the
camera.
Restrict the rotation and zoom to narrow ranges. (Constraints can be
disabled in the dev overlay).
Smooth the movement and rotation.
Fix some stupid whitespace.
Fix some const correctness.
This was SVN commit r7930.
Major updates to most network classes.
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.
Add a default map for Atlas, so it always has something to load.
Move network documentation to Doxygen.
Remove lots of now-unused code.
This was SVN commit r7653.
Use noncopyable instead of boost::noncopyable. (But maybe this should be
changed to the NONCOPYABLE macro instead?)
Use boost::filesystem::wpath::file_string instead of
external_file_string, since the latter varies between std::string on
Linux and std::wstring on Windows.
Use wcstombs instead of wcstombs_s.
Use rtl_AllocateAligned instead of _mm_malloc.
This was SVN commit r6574.
remove ONCE(ScriptingInit) constructs, replace with direct call from
GameSetup
revised GameSetup's InitScripting (organize into groups)
JSCollection: remove #define of two concrete collection types (made
typedef, moved to their respective entity.h and player.h)
This was SVN commit r5871.
CStr: Indented comments more consistently. Made some parameters
pass-by-reference, made some others not. Removed some useless methods -
Length (use length or empty), GetSubstring (use substr), LCase/UCase
(use LowerCase/UpperCase). Removed operator[] bounds-checking because
VS2005 does that anyway.
Maybe fixed noncopyable warnings on VS2003.
This was SVN commit r4828.
- 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.
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.
Map XML: Store camera position. Stopped using DTDs (because they make it
too hard to change the XML structure without breaking all the old XML
files).
Game.h: Include fewer files, to make compilation sometimes faster.
World: Changed some things to not be singletons, since they were
(ab)used as CWorld members.
This was SVN commit r3670.
* add CLightEnv::m_TerrainShadowTransparency
* shadows will let a fraction of diffuse light through
* added JS LightEnv objects, so the lighting environment can be changed
from the console
* new element TerrainShadowTransparency supported in the scenario .xml
format,
changed cantabrian_generated with an example
This was SVN commit r3513.

Hotkey-added cinematic hotkey (doesn't work though (see above) )

This was SVN commit r3405.
Quaternion: Removed operator- since it doesn't seem geometrically
sensible for rotation-quaternions. Added ToAxisAngle but don't actually
use it anywhere.
GameView: Changed unit-view to look slightly more correct.
This was SVN commit r3201.
