Instead of registering the desired change of position and rely on
physics simulation to apply it to the world, immediately change the
position in the world without reset the simulation.
Restore projectile caster from savegame (#5860)
See merge request OpenMW/openmw!616
(cherry picked from commit d595c7adb0fb45eafed6d3d0403ad640a91411ed)
c5426bec In the savegame, projectile caster is identified by its actor id. When
its current position.
Use it in relevant MWScripts opcode (move and moveworld).
Remove the fragile detection of scripted translation from PhysicsTaskScheduler.
No user visible change, just a more robust mechanism.
Container base record mutations

(cherry picked from commit 8b33765dd414680f0074b3e115b52b291b4cb7cb)
275908a0 mutate container base records
16fca11d add changelog entry
Before movement calculation, the main thread prepare a
vector of ActorFrameData, which contains all data necessary to perform
the simulation, and feed it to the solver. At the same time it fetches
the result from the previous background simulation, which in turn is
used by the game mechanics.
Other functions of the physics system (weapon hit for instance)
interrupt the background simulation, with some exceptions described
below.
The number of threads is controlled by the numeric setting
[Physics]
async num threads
In case 'async num threads' > 1 and Bullet doesn't support multiple threads,
1 async thread will be used. 0 means synchronous solver.
Additional settings (will be silently switched off if async num threads = 0)
[Physics]
defer aabb update
Update AABBs of actors and objects in the background thread(s). It is not an especially
costly operation, but it needs exclusive access to the collision world, which blocks
other operations. Since AABB needs to be updated for collision detection, one can queue
them to defer update before start of the movement solver. Extensive tests on as much
as one installation (mine) show no drawback having that switched on.
[Physics]
lineofsight keep inactive cache
Control for how long (how many frames) the line of sight (LOS) request will be kept updated.
When a request for LOS is made for the first time, the background threads are stopped to
service it. From now on, the LOS will be refreshed preemptively as part of the background
routine until it is not required for lineofsight keep inactive cache frames. This mean
that subsequent request will not interrupt the background computation.
