Actors may have different collision shapes. Currently there are axis-aligned
bounding boxes and rotating bounding boxes. With AABB it's required to use
bounding cylinder for navmesh agent to avoid providing paths where actor can't
pass. But for rotating bounding boxes cylinder with diameter equal to the front
face width should be used to not reduce of available paths. For example rats
have rotating bounding box as collision shape because of the difference between
front and side faces width.
* Add agent bounds to navmesh tile db cache key. This is required to distinguish
tiles for agents with different bounds.
* Increase navmesh version because navmesh tile db cache key and data has changed.
* Move navmesh version to the code to avoid misconfiguration by users.
* Fix all places where wrong half extents were used for pathfinding.
Useful when need to find tiles with high number of updates.
Add debug Lua package with new functions to toggle render mode and set navmesh
render mode.

Use "pragma max_page_count" to define max allowed file size in combination with
"pragma page_size" based on a new setting "max navmeshdb file size".
* Stop navmeshtool on the first db error.
* Disable writes to db in the engine on first "database or disk is full"
SQLite3 error. There is no special error code for this error.
* Change default "write to navmeshdb" to true.
* Use time intervals for transaction duration instead of number of changes.
Perform all request to db in a single thread to avoid blocking navmesh
generator threads due to slow write operations.
Write to db navmesh for all changes except update as it done for memory cache.
Batch multiple db operations into a single transaction to speed up writing by
not executing fsync after each insert/update query. All reads are performed in
the same transaction so they see uncommited data.
* reword warning in settings-default.cfg
The warning at the head of settings-default.cfg is somewhat confusing for users, overly verbose and lacking the most crucial piece of information in its first sentence. Hence, it is unsurprising some users fail to heed the warning, as observed through user support requests on Matrix.
* settings-default.cfg
- default to 1 thread
- default to always use defered aabb update, remove option
- always keep a cache of LOS request for at least the current frame.
This decreases number of raycast, especially when a lot of actors are
involved and "NPCs avoid collisions" is on
This AABB tree required when need to filter out input mesh that has not
influence navmesh tile output. This filtering is already done before. Each
recast mesh corresponds to a single navmesh tile and has appropriate bounds.
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.
