Using references matches the C++ coding style better and should improve
performance a bit in theory. It avoids 2 copies of T in case of the
functions registered with RegisterFunction (mainy used in the GUI). It
should also avoid one or two copies in case of
DEFINE_INTERFACE_METHOD_X, which is used in the simulation, but I
haven't bothered to count it there exactly.
It is now predefined which types have to be passed by const reference
and which are passed by value. Note that references can't be used as
out-parameters (to return multiple values to JS). This hasn't worked
before either and probably never will.
This was SVN commit r17696.
Based on existing code that was still around from an old(not working)
implementation.
Supports basic control from trigger scirpts (queue, start and stop
camera paths) and works in multiplayer.
This was SVN commit r17594.
Allow components to individually subscribe/unsubscribe to messages,
instead of statically subscribing the entire component type. Use this
for most Interpolate/RenderSubmit messages, to avoid the performance
cost of passing those messages to a large number of components that will
just ignore them anyway.
On Azure Coast this reduces total time per frame by about 30% on a
CPU-bound system.
This was SVN commit r15400.
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 r15265.
Add CEntityHandle which wraps an entity_id_t and also has a pointer to a
per-entity array of IComponents. QueryInterface/CmpPtr on a handle just
involve a couple of pointer dereferences instead of a map lookup.
This requires sizeof(void*) per registered interface type per entity,
which is currently ~0.5KB per entity, which shouldn't be a problem.
This was SVN commit r13825.
