This was SVN commit r25240.
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.
Observers no longer lag the game for players. There is still some time
to serialise the game when sending it to a joining observer, and
depending on the chosen 'max lag' the game may stop while observers
sufficiently catch up, but this impact too is reduced.
- Make the NetServerTurnManager ignore players marked as 'observers' for
the purpose of ending a turn, effectively making it possible for
observers to lag without it affecting the players in any way.
- Add a config option (network.observermaxlag) that specifies how many
turns behind the live game observers are allowed to be. Default to 10
turns, or 2 seconds, to keep them 'largely live'.
- The controller is not treated as an observer.
- Implement a simple UI to show this delay & allow the game to speed up
automatically to try and catch up. This can be deactivated via
network.autocatchup.
- Move network options to the renamed 'Network / Lobby' options page.
- Do not debug_warn/crash when receiving commands from the past -
instead warn and carry on, to avoid DOS and "coop play" issues.

While they often look alike, their behaviour is totally different.
This split has some implications:
- There are now separate auras for garrisoning and turrets.
- Entities can now have both turret points and garrison slots,
independent of eachother.
In general previous behaviour is maintained as much as possible.

attackmoveUnit is more specific than attackMove, so since d0a42f2f00
won't fire at the same time. However the GUI code expected that,
breaking it.
Instead, properly check for either attackmove or attackmoveUnit.
Also fix an issue with d0a42f2f00 where hotkeys would be release if

Some keys have multiple names that they may be identified by in config

such as the Escape key which may be identified by either "Esc" or
"Escape", or
the number-pad keys which may be identified with a name in the form
"Num{xxx}"
(e.g. "NumMinus") or the alternate "Keypad {x}" (e.g. "Keypad -").

This was SVN commit r24618.
This threads the netclient session, which avoids timeouts when the
main-thread is not polling (map creation, very long simulation frames).
Unlike the NetServer, which should be as independent as possible from
the main thread, the NetClient is fundamentally tied to the game thread.
Therefore, this only threads the session object.
To ensure good performance and ease-of-use, lock-free queues for
in/out-going messages are used.
This fixes artificial timeouts, while also improving actual ping reports
(since frame-time is no longer a factor).
It effectively reverts D1513/eda236522c and 2e7e1c0b2b, all hacks around
lag-timeouts (and bits of 1a3fb29ff3).

Differential Revision: https://code.wildfiregames.com/D2848
This was SVN commit r24518.
This allows choosing a "default formation", which is activated
automatically for units given walk orders (and attack-walk etc.).
Conversely, units in formation that are given a gather/build/... order
are taken out of formation and given the order individually.
The default formation can be selected by right-clicking on any formation
icon.
This leverages formations for walking, where they are quite efficient
(in fact, perhaps too efficient), while circumventing issues with
various orders.
Choosing the "null formation" as the default formation de-activates the
behaviour entirely, and plays out exactly like SVN.
This makes it possible to queue a formation-order then a
noformation-order (i.e. walk then repair), though the behaviour isn't
very flexible.
For modders, it should be relatively easy to change the setup for each
order, and/or to force deactivating/activating formations in general.

- Provide a "Hotkey" screen to let players remap hotkeys in-game using a
convenient setup.
- Make all .cfg hotkeys refer to scancodes (i.e. position on the
keyboard), so that default hotkeys now translate correctly for AZERTY,
QWERTZ and other layouts.
- 'BackSpace' is now an alias for 'Delete', and works for killing units.
This fixes#1917, as macs don't have a proper delete key and would need
to use Fn+Del otherwise. This shifts "timewarp" to Shift+BackSpace.
Functionally, this switches hotkeys to scancodes, as that makes more
sense (they are combinations of key positions, not actual text output).
SDL includes are cleaned and key names are reused.

Enable maps to restrict setting values:
* If a map specifies an AI or Civs for a playerslot, the controller
can't assign a player/other AI or Civ to that slot, refs #3049, #3013.
Fix per player StartingResources, PopulationCap, StartingTechnologies,
DisabledTechnologies, DisabledTemplates following 9177683653, refs #812,
fixes#4504. Use this for DisabledTechnologies on Polar Sea.
Persist user settings for Skirmish maps:
* All user chosen settings are persisted when changing the selected map
or maptype,
except where the selected map overwrites the setting value and
except for Scenario maps which still use the default value where the
map doesn't specify the setting value.
* Tickets relating to that Skirmish mapchange user setting persistance:
- Selecting a map doesn't change the selected civilizations, fixes
#3120 (together with 7cf83f19fd removing map specified Civs).
- Selecting a map type doesn't reset the selected settings, fixes
#5372.
- Selecting a map doesn't change the selected victory conditions,
unless the map specifies those, refs #4661, #3209. (Atlas still writes
VictoryConditions to every map.)
- Consume the player color palette from Skirmish maps, refs 4996d28110
/ #1580. Preserve the selected playercolors when switching the
Skirmish/Random map by chosing the most similar colors if the map comes
with a different palette.
Rated games:
* Hide and disable Rated game setting unless there are exactly two
players, fixes#3950, supersedes D2117.
* Display conspicuous warning if the game is rated, so players are
perfectly aware.
Autostarted games:
* Allow using the gamesetup page to autostart matches with arbitrary
maps, not only this one tutorial, as reported in D194 and 15e2b42525,
refs D11.
Networking:
* Keep gamesetup page open after disconnect, allowing players to read
chat messages indicating why the host stopped the server, fixes#4114.
* The message subscription system allows new and mod settings to run
custom logic on arbitrary setting changes (most importantly on map
change).
This removes hardcoded logic restrictions from the gamesetup option

refs #3049, #3883:
* Delete useless values:
- VictoryScripts, because they are redundant with TriggerScripts,
introduced in 8915037631.
- mapType which was written twice to g_GameAttributes following
9177683653
- Description, Keywords, Preview since that doesn't impact simulation
and can be loaded from the MapCache
- mapFilter, mapPath, SupportedBiomes, SupportedTriggerDifficulties
since they are only used in the gamesetup
* Delete conditional values if the condition is not met:
- AIDiff, AIBehavior if there is no AI in that slot
- Nomad and Size if the maptype is not Random
- Biome, TriggerDifficulty if the map doesn't support that
- WonderDuration, RegicideGarrison, RelicCount, RelicDuration if the
according VictoryConditions are not enabled
- LastManStanding if TeamsLocked
- Rating if there are more than 2 players
MapCache:
* Refactor to MapCache class, store maps of all types and use it in the
replaymenu, lobby and session as well.
SettingTabsPanel:
* Remove hardcodings and coupling of the SettingTabsPanel with
biomes/difficulties/chat UI from D1027/ac7b5ce861.
GamesetupPage.xml:
* Restructure the page to use hierarchical object organization
(topPanel, centerPanel, centerLeftPanel, bottomPanel, centerCenterPanel,
centerRightPanel, bottomLeftPanel, bottomRightPanel), allowing to
deduplicate object position margins and size math and ease navigation.
New defaults:
* Check LockedTeams default in multiplayer (not only rated games).
* Persist the rated game setting instead of defaulting to true when
restarting a match, which often lead to unintentional rated games when
rehosting.
* 60 FPS in menus since they are animated
Autocomplete sorting fixed (playernames should be completed first).
Refactoring encompasses the one proposed in Polakrity and bb D1651.
