To hide network latency, MP turns send commands not for the next turn
but N turns after that (introduced in c684c211a2).
Further, MP turn length was increased to 500ms compared to 200ms SP
turns (introduced in 6a15b78c98).
Unfortunately, increasing MP turn length has negative consequences:
- makes pathfinding/unit motion much worse & unit behaviour worse in
general.
- makes the game more 'lag-spikey', since computations are done less
often, but thus then can take more time.
This diff essentially reverts 6a15b78c98, instead increasing
COMMAND_DELAY from 2 to 4 in MP. This:
- Reduces the 'inherent command lag' in MP from 1000ms to 800ms
- Increases the lag range at which MP will run smoothtly from 500ms to
600ms
- makes SP and MP turns behave identically again, removing the
hindrances described above.
As a side effect, single-player was not actually using COMMAND_DELAY,
this is now done (can be used to simulate MP command lag).

- Replace ScriptInterface::RegisterFunction with
ScriptFunction::Register
- Mostly removing unused cmpPrivate*
- Some usage introduces specific getters (mapgenerator, AIWorker,
XmppClient,...)
- Several passthrough functions are simply removed in favour of calling
the original, reducing duplication
- Make use of ScriptRequest/ScriptInterface capabilities where
relevant.
- Make JSI_* headers only expose necessary functions, lightening them
considerably and reducing duplication
- Reuse namespaces in JSI_* implementations directly, reducing visual
noise there

Introduce a LOS_TILE_SIZE, to replace usage of TERRITORY_TILE_SIZE in
the LOS code.
This makes it possible to change the resolution of LOS/Terrain without
affecting the other component.
Additional refactoring:
- LosTile has been renamed LosRegion (it's more comparable to the
hierarchical pathfinder regions/spatial subdivisions)
- LosState explicitly refers to "los vertices" instead of terrain
vertices.

This implements necessary tooling to create a simple SP campaign.
The architecture is intended to be easily extensible in the future.
'Campaign Run' contains the metadata of a campaign, e.g. maps
played/won. It's saved in the user folder under
saves/campaigns/*.0adcampaign
Campaign templates are JSON files in campaigns/
Campaigns can specify which Menu interface they will use. This is
intended to allow more complex layouts/presentation.
For now, a simple list interface is provided. This allows making
campaigns without any fancy art required (and effectively mimics AoE1's
campaign interface).
The behaviour on game end is also intended to be extensible, supporting
things such as carrying over units between scenarios - for now, it
simply records won games.
GameSetup is not available for now - scenarios are triggered with the
settings defined in the map/default settings. Improving on this requires
refactoring the gamesetup further.
The load/save game page has been extended slightly to support
showing/hiding campaign games (campaign gamed are saved under saves/
directly, there is no strong motivation to do otherwise at this point)

The new methods:
- aren't included in ScriptInterface.h directly, lightening that header
- don't use boost CPP
- don't need argument types or number or constness to be specified
- can work with object methods somewhat transparently
- support optional cmptPrivate (allowing removal of many UNUSED macro)
- support optional const ScriptRequest&, which is safer.
This first diff changes only some of the JSI files & the component
manager. Further diffs will update other files and finally delete the

This was SVN commit r24962.
The 'controller' of an MP game (the host in general, though dedicated
servers would change that) is currently whoever first tells the server
that it is. This can be abused since it relies on trusting the clients.
This changes that logic: the server defines a 'controller secret', and
the first client to sent the correct controller secret is the
controller. This is safe assuming the secret is unknowable enough (the
current solution wouldn't pass strict cryptography tests, but it's
likely good enough).
Reverts 1a3fb29ff3, which introduced the 'trust the clients' mechanic,
as a change over 'the first local IP is controller'.
Necessary step towards dedicated server, if we want to use the regular
gamesetup (Refs #3556)

Further, it removes code that recalculated offsets un-necessarily, which

Follow-up to 1a8de6d2b8. This makes it again possible to host without
STUN via the lobby.
The lobby bot will answer the host "Register" command with the external
IP. This is only sent to the host, avoiding IP leakage.
There is a small window in which a client might try to join and the
public IP isn't up, and the request goes through, but that seems rather
unlikely to be a problem in practice.
