this snowballed into a massive search+destroy of the hodgepodge of
mostly equivalent types we had in use (int, uint, unsigned, unsigned
int, i32, u32, ulong, uintN).
it is more efficient to use 64-bit types in 64-bit mode, so the
preferred default is size_t (for anything remotely resembling a size or
index). tile coordinates are ssize_t to allow more efficient conversion
to/from floating point. flags are int because we almost never need more
than 15 distinct bits, bit test/set is not slower and int is fastest to
type. finally, some data that is pretty much directly passed to OpenGL
is now typed accordingly.
after several hours, the code now requires fewer casts and less
guesswork.
other changes:
- unit and player IDs now have an "invalid id" constant in the
respective class to avoid casting and -1
- fix some endian/64-bit bugs in the map (un)packing. added a
convenience function to write/read a size_t.
- ia32: change CPUID interface to allow passing in ecx (required for
cache topology detection, which I need at work). remove some unneeded
functions from asm, replace with intrinsics where possible.
This was SVN commit r5942.
replace ONCE with direct calls to ScriptingInit in simulation/network
code as well.
note: GameSetup is now responsible for calling ServerSession's init
instead of Server doing it
added simulation/scripting with a module that takes care of all
scripting init (reduces CCD)
This was SVN commit r5883.
- The server will no longer send a new turn until the previous one has
been "acknowledged". (TODO: this may create lag between turns in its
current form; investigate and possibly allow executing two turns while
the third is being negotiated).
- Mutexes are now being used in NetServer and NetClient to ensure
commands go into the right batches.
- Commented out some orders in the GUI code that should not be there and
are not 100% working anyway (they were part of the follow/formation
system).
- Units that spawn or are created by scripts now have net-safe position
and orientation.
- Added a debug flag that can be turned on to print details about when
commands are received and executed (DEBUG_SYNCHRONIZATION). This is
especially useful if you diff the stdouts of two running games. There
should be no differences if everything is in synch.
This was SVN commit r5463.
- Decreased MP turn length to 150 ms.
- Let units move along multiple steps of a path per turn. This means
they no longer "hesitate" between tiles. Especially noticeable in MP
games or at low framerates.
- Joined segments of paths generated by the pathfinder into linear
pieces for better repathing.
This was SVN commit r5224.
- Fixed outdated / buggy networking code in the GUI scripts.
- Finished the API to CNetClient so that it's possible to start a CGame
from it.
- Some enhancements for debugging networking: Enabled updates while the
game is minimized/out-of-focus if it's in a network session. Also
reduced the turn length to something slightly more manageable but still
unplayable (1 sec versus 3 sec).
- Fixed a bug where IssueCommand used to access the order it creates
after queueing it, which is bad if the order gets deleted while being
queued (e.g. in CNetClient).
This was SVN commit r5139.
* Fixed some bugs with incorrect macro usage (SDL_BYTE_ORDER vs
SDL_BYTEORDER, {MSC,GCC}_VER vs {MSC,GCC}_VERSION, OS_WIN/OS_UNIX in
projects where they're not defined).
* Removed some redundant declarations of g_Console.
* Removed some unnecessary semicolons.
* Removed some unused variables.
* Added throw specification to operator new.
This was SVN commit r4698.
