This subdivision is faster but less precise, so range queries get more
entities and are a bit slower (up to 1ms approx.), but the overall gain
on a simulation update is always positive and can reach 10ms per frame.
For now, this new subdivision is only used by the range manager,
integrating it in the obstruction manager might be sensible.

Local types shall not be used as a template argument. So move it
to a higher scope. This restriction was lifted in C++11, so we
might want to change this back when we switch to that.
This was SVN commit r16101.
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.
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.
Makes all actors selectable in Atlas and gives them selection rings (an
EditorOnly flag is used in the template for Atlas-only selectables).
Adds player colors to Atlas selection rings.
Fixes decal selection by falling back to old-style AABBs. Refs #1032.
Replaces UnitManager selections with EntitySelection helpers.
Adds DrawOverlays to Atlas views, for Atlas-specific rendering.
Fixes bug where selection rings conflicted with Move/rotate tool in
Atlas simulation test.
This was SVN commit r11177.
the old debug_assert always ran and tested the expression, which slows
down release builds. wrapping them in #ifndef NDEBUG is clumsy. the new
ASSERT behaves like assert and ENSURE like the old debug_assert. Let's
change any time-critical but not-super-important ENSURE to ASSERT to
speed up release builds. (already done in bits.h and unique_range.h)
This was SVN commit r9362.
Enable SpiderMonkey method JIT in Release mode.
Add Engine.ProfileStart/Engine.ProfileStop functions for scripts.
Fix AI to clone initial entity data and shared metadata.
This was SVN commit r9003.
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.
