The idea is to avoid std::map lookup for each CellRef. Instead generate a
sequence of added and removed RefNums into a vector then order them by RefNum
using a stable sort that preserves relative order of elements with the same
RefNum. RefIDs are stored in a different vector to avoid std::string move ctor
calls when swapping elements while sorting. Reversed iteration over added and
removed RefNums for each unique RefNum is an equivalent to what map-based
algorithm produces. The main benefit from sorting a vector is a data locality
that means less cache misses for each access. Reduces ESMStore::countRecords
perf cycles by 25%.
Add special loading progress bar.
It should be fast enough to not keep loading screen for noticably long but
will provide better pathfinding for actors inside interior cells.
rtprio is both a struct and a function, so we need to be explicit.

This allows to distribute AI reaction calls over time.
Before this change actors appearing at the same frame will react in the same
frame over and over because AI reaction period is constant. It creates a
non-uniform CPU usage over frames. If a single frame has too many AI reactions
it may cause stuttering when there are too many actors on a scene for current
system.
Another concern is a synchronization of actions between creatures and NPC.
They start to go or hit at the same frame that is unnatural.
Measure time at the computation end but before sleep. This allows to adjust
sleep interval for the next frame in case sleep is not precise due to syscall
overhead or too low timer resolution.
Remove old frame limiting mechanism.
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.
Refactoring related to "smooth movement"
See merge request OpenMW/openmw!285
(cherry picked from commit 6eaf0a389d5aed3b74ab1a7cf89574612f964bdf)
e847b4c8 Split getSpeed() to getMaxSpeed() and getCurrentSpeed()
a96c46bc Refactor calculation of movement.mSpeedFactor
03ee9090 Use getMaxSpeed instead of getCurrentSpeed where it makes sense.
a178af5c Create helper functions `normalizeAngle` and `rotateVec2f`
context menu.
The documentation opens in default browser.
There are 3 contexts:
- global: opens the OpenMW CS User Manual main page
- when a record is selected: opens the "Tables" page
- when the filter field is selected: opens the "Record Filters" page
There is also a link to the OpenCS tutorial in the help menu.
Use LRU modification to hold currently used items. Use RecastMesh binary
data for item key.
Store original pointer of btCollisionShape in user pointer to make available
it as an identifier within all duplicates. Use pointer to heights data array
for btHeightfieldTerrainShape.
