This PR aims to solve all issues with `Groundcover` view distance handling in a satisfying way while preserving other optimisations that benefit other features. The main idea here is not to rely on `ViewData` updates for distance culling calculations because we can not accurately determine distance against lazily updated views. Instead, we perform an accurate measurement in a cull callback we can run every frame in `Groundcover` itself. While we do have to add some code to handle this feature, it is quite loosely coupled code that could be useful elsewhere in the future. These changes should address a performance regression @akortunov experienced.
This PR aims to solve `uniform block LightBufferBinding has no binding` messages @glassmancody has reportedly encountered since PR #3110 due to an apparent bug in OSG. While we do have to add a workaround here that adds a bit of clunkiness, #3216 should allow us to clean up these interactions a bit in the future.
1) As much as I dislike it, upping the collision margin from 0.1 to 0.2
fixes bugs, particularly involving walking into upwards-slanted walls.
2) There were still some problems involving acute crevices/seams; they
were using the adjusted instead of unadjusted normal, and also they need
to bypass the don't-slide-upwards check to prevent (see #6379)
3) The move-away-from-what-we-just-hit code needs to run always, not
just on non-initial iterations. No idea why I did it this way before.
4) Force bullet to give actor boxes a tiny collision margin of 0.001
instead of the default 0.04. I can't tell whether this is actually
working or not, but it should reduce unexplained weirdness.
5) A piece of code that was meant to prevent bugs by short-circuiting
the movement solver if its direction changed more than 180 degrees
actually caused problems instead of preventing them, so I deleted it.
With this PR we refactor `StringUtils::replaceAll` to accept `string_view` as suggested in a code comment. In addition, while we are touching this rebuild happy file, we slim it down a bit by moving a few sparingly used functions elsewhere.
This PR removes unneeded `lowerCaseInPlace` calls in in a hot path of `objectpaging.cpp` that are no longer necessary after PR #3197. In addition, I have been informed that these changes should by coincidence address a compiler specific compilation error we currently experience.
* Handle culling of all sound sources in a separate function cull3DSound
* Add two new settings Sound::sfx fade in duration and Sound::sfx fade out duration
* Implement a more general SoundBase::setFade that can be used to fade to any desired
volume and not just fading out
* Implement SoundBase::setFadeout by using SoundBase::setFade
* Implement an exponential fade mode
* resets state updater to apply light settings (#3141)
resets state updater to apply light settings
With this PR we achieve the same effect with fewer lines of code.
* fixes LightSource logic errors
We currently update `LightSource::setActorFade` in `TransparencyUpdater`. There are several logic errors inherent in this approach:
1. We fail to update `LightSource::setActorFade` for off screen actors because their `TransparencyUpdater` cull callback is not invoked.
2. We fail to update `LightSource::setActorFade` in the instant that a `TransparencyUpdater` is removed.
3. We fail to update `setActorFade` when an `mExtraLightSource` is created after calling `Animation::setAlpha`.
With this PR we avoid such issues by updating `LightSource::setActorFade` in `Animation::setAlpha` and `Animation::addExtraLightSource` instead.
This PR fixes an assertion introduced by #3211. For some reason my build originally did not contain assertions despite passing `DEBUG` into cmake, but after deleting `CMakeCache.txt` I have now hit the assertion @glassmancody reported as well.
With this PR we restore the previous order of `ESM::Dialogue` entries implicitly changed by PR #3197. In the future we may want to consider additional verification and documentation of `mShared` order inconsistencies. We might additionally consider applying this sorting in the particular code that requires it.
