With it on, which was always the case before this setting was added,
vanilla content and poorly-made mods will look acceptable, but well-made
mods will have alpha-tested meshes appear to grow and potentially gain a
weird outline as they get further away.
With it off, which replicates the 0.46 behaviour, well-made mods will
look really good, but vanilla content and poorly-made mods will have
alpha-tested meshes shrink as they get further away.
It's been bugging me that this was forced on since 0.47 released, and
I'd hoped to figure out a solution for automatic detection at some point
before 0.48 branched off, but I didn't, so now this is what we're
getting to have Tamriel Rebuilt look right.
Cylinder collision shape should give the best consistency between physics
simulation and pathfinding. Rotating box is already used by some actors, so
add it to have the same collision shape type for all actors.
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.
