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).

This adds a new endpoint to the RL interface for evaluating custom
JavaScript. When combined with the ability to create arbitrary
modifiers, this provides the required functionality for exploring
quantitative game balancing.

Fixes 5473393e30.
This:
- Puts RL code under the RL namespace to avoid name collisions
- Avoids usage of new/delete
- Adds more documentation
- Does general cleanup (const-correctness, move semantics, argument
types, early returns...)

This was SVN commit r24631.
GUIObjectBase is made a IGUIObject* to avoid including those headers
un-necessarily. Subsequent diffs ought to clean up the various of
pointers for that with a similar type with reference semantics.
Also:
- Add standard C and C++ headers (mostly cstring for memcpy, string and
vector) where needed.
- Swap out some includes for forward declarations
- Clean up un-necessary boost includes in precompiled and other headers.
- Clean up precompiled headers, including fewer things.
- Move ACPI to the windows-specific folder as it's included there only
and mostly specific to that platform.
Thanks Stan for the testing.

This was SVN commit r24352.
- Check for pending exceptions after function calls and script
executions.
- Call LOGERROR instead of JS_ReportError when there is a conversion
error in FromJSVal, since that can only be called from C++ (where JS
errors don't really make sense). Instead, C++ callers of FromJSVal
should handle the failure and, themselves, either report an error or
simply do something else.
- Wrap JS_ReportError since that makes updating it later easier.
This isn't a systematical fix since ToJSVal also ought return a boolean
for failures, and we probably should trigger errors instead of warnings
on 'implicit' conversions, rather a preparation diff.

This was SVN commit r24187.
JSAutoRequest is required before calling into most JSAPI methods, for GC
reasons.
Calling it is required and fragile as one must not forget.
Further, SM52 and later make manipulating JSContext* dangerous as that
can cross Compartment(Realm in SM68) barriers (and ScriptInterface now
matches a Compartment).
The solution to both problems is to avoid using JSContext* in 0 A.D.
itself. To achieve this, a Request class is introduced, and must be used
to access a JSContext* from a scriptInterface. Further, Request is
passed to other ScriptInterface functions isntead of JSContext*, making
it obvious that the caller has already called it, reducing errors and
redundant JSAutoRequest calls.
Only JSNative functions now get a naked JSContext* without protection,
but the likelihood of forgetting a request is lower since many
ScriptInterface functions now expect it.
JSContext* is directly passed to JSAPI functions only.

Implement a simple HTTP server to start games, receive the gamestate and
pass commands to the simulation.
This is mainly intended for training reinforcement learning agents in 0
AD. As such, a python client and a small example are included.
This option can be enabled using the -rl-interface flag.
