First, do a ray intersection test with the bounding-sphere for all
entities on the map and then check the more detailed selection shape for
the remaining candidates. Do checks that require component lookups after
the ray intersection tests because these are relatively expensive.
The old method for figuring out which entities are below the mouse
cursor was incorrect because it does a 2D check to filter out the first
candidates which can lead to incorrect results with lower camera angles
and high buildings or buildings with a large footprint. Such problems
were avoided with quite a large radius for this 2D test and resulted in
a large number of candiate entities after this first test (200-500).
Also rename PickEntitiesAtPoint to PickEntityAtPoint and make it return
only one (the closest) match.
I've tested performance with the tracelogger by starting a map and then
moving the mouse in circles for one minute. The results were relatively
stable. I've compared the total time percentage of input.js:836, which
spends nearly all of the time in PickEntityAtPoint.
Ardennes Forest - Normal size: Original: 41.46% Patched: 31.6%
Ardennes Forest - Giant size: Original: 40.59% Patched: 51.55%
As we see, it's faster on normal map sizes but slower on giant maps with
a lot of entities.
This approach can be further improved with some kind of spatial
subdivision for the culling (like an octree), which would help the unit
renderer too. This way it should be possible to make it faster (and
still correct) on all map sizes and with a large total numbers of
entities.
This was SVN commit r16098.
Previously we removed all players and created them anew. This caused
issues in Atlas,
as some components were recreated, but did not get informed about
already existing
entities (eg cmpTechnologyManager). By only creating/deleting players
until we obtain
the new number of players we do not have this issue.

* Adds SDL color cursor implementation
* Adds config option for choosing preferred display in multimonitor
setup
* Uses text input API to better handle CJK input
* Fixes various hotkey and input bugs
SDL 1.2 is still the default and recommended, to test experimental SDL2
support, pass the --sdl2 flag to update-workspaces
This was SVN commit r15767.
Mount public in case we are starting Atlas and no mods are specified in
the config.
If users remove all mods and save this to the config and try to start
Atlas it will
crash, as it cannot find some needed files.
This was SVN commit r15678.
The ScriptInterface pointer can be NULL there, so using it without
checking is not safe.
This fixes the problem by continuing with the exact stack rooting
changes, which makes the temporary solution unnecessary.

This was SVN commit r15611.
Changes GetProperty, SetProperty and HasProperty and a few other
functions to take handles. The conversions to CScriptVal or
CScriptValRooted at some places should be removed in the future. I've
done that to avoid an even larger patch.

This was SVN commit r15568.
Instead of each CCmpVisualActor rendering itself individually, collect
all the units in a single CCmpUnitRenderer. This avoids the overhead of
doing Interpolate/RenderSubmit calls every frame for every object in the
world. It also allows more efficient culling.
CCmpUnitRenderer knows the positions of each object at the start and end
of each turn, and computes the bounding sphere of the object along that
path. That allows quick culling without recomputing the precise
interpolated transform every frame. (In the future it could be improved
much more.)
Clarify and clean up the sending of PositionChanged messages, and add
new InterpolatedPositionChanged.
Remove the forceFloating parameter from GetInterpolatedTransform, since
it doesn't fit the new design. Replace it with a (non-synchronised) flag
in CCmpPosition.
Move construction progress from CCmpVisualActor to CCmpPosition, so that
it consistently affects all position/transform computation.

This was SVN commit r14496.
SDL queues up all the input events received in a frame. When the hotkey
system saw a key up/down event, it immediately updated its
HotkeyIsPressed state and then pushed a hotkey event onto the end of the
queue.
If the initial queue was e.g. [key-down shift, key-press Z, key-up
shift], the hotkey event triggered by Z would be processed after the
key-up shift had updated the HotkeyIsPressed state, so the handler of
the Z hotkey would not think the shift hotkey was pressed.
If the initial queue was e.g. [key-press Z, mouse-click], the hotkey
triggered by Z would be processed after the mouse-click event, so it
could apply to the wrong building selection.
Fix by pushing the hotkey events onto a special queue that gets
processed before any subsequent SDL input events.
Also update the HotkeyIsPressed status when the HOTKEYDOWN/HOTKEYUP
events are processed, not when they are generated, to guarantee they are
consistent with the DOWN/UP events.
Fixes#1869.

Replace unifont with CFont and CFontManager, since the h_mgr interface

Load the font textures through CTextureManager, to support dynamic

Implements custom, VFS-based map load/save dialogs for Atlas (replaces
broken native file dialogs), fixes#631, #889.
Fixes map loading/saving to handle arbitrary subdirectories for better

Adds default settings to Atlas player panel, fixes#1872. Each setting
now has a checkbox to choose whether it should be saved with the map
(avoids writing lots of useless default data for each map).

Cleans up and simplifies some duplicate code.
Fixes optional serialization performance test.
