- Remove broken cache locking mechanism
This was supposed to unload NIFFiles after a cell transition completes, but it was never working due to a mistake on the line if (--sLockLevel), should have been if (--sLockLevel == 0). Repairing this would increase load times (NIF files would have to be reloaded more frequently), so just removed it for now.
- Decouple cache from NIFFile (now a new nifcache component)
- Add API for future background loading
- Provide a reliable way (SharedPtr) to hold on to loaded NIFFiles. This will be useful to avoid deep copies of keyframe and text key data, which is currently a performance bottleneck.
The differences (if any) are unknown.
NiBSPArrayController is used by the Atronach_Fire.nif model. Its particles are now visible, but they don't look right yet. Need to handle NiAutoNormalParticlesData?
It's a bit unwieldy to have them stored in the 'skeleton master' instead
of the skeleton instance. And although the text keys are extracted for
each created instance now, this shouldn't be much worse than the
multimap copying going on before.
Plus, proper serialization can help for future optimizations.
This is still incomplete guess work. Currently it seems as though flag 0x20
specifies whether the controllers auto-play (if on), rather than follow the
object's animation time.
