This may improve performance substantially if there are many meshes with "few" vertices that would otherwise be retransmitted to the GPU every frame. In testing, this does not seem to decrease performance, even if as few as 4 vertices are used (e.g. particles).
This works through a new field "touch_interaction" in item definitions.
The two most important use cases are:
- Punching players/entities with short tap instead of long tap (enabled by default)
- Making items usable that require holding the place button (e.g. bows and shields in MC-like games)
Before this change, if the shaders are broken, only an error message is shown and the player enters the world nonetheless, where he/she sees broken graphics.
Before this change,
the member type and member name are at one place,
and the member name and uniform name are at another place.
If the uniform name is written directly at the member declaration,
the member type, member name and uniform name are all at one place,
which leads to shorter code and may be easier to read.
With disabled shaders, the material EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL uses the
parameter as an alpha threshold to decide whether to draw the texture.
Thus lowering this limit fixes the issue of vanishing textures below alpha 128.
* New API to allow access into MapSector::m_blocks
* Use this API on ClientMap::touchMapBlocks(), ClientMap::updateDrawList(), and ClientMap::updateDrawListShadow() to speed them up
- The handling of IGUIComboBox uses the new setAndSendSelected() method.
- getDialogState() is now getInputDialogState() and returns the state of the input dialog.
- getLastDialogType() is added and returns current/last shown dialog's type.
- getInputDialogState() now returns an enum instead of int.
- getAndroidUIInput() now returns void instead of bool.
- New data types (enum) are added:
(1) GameActivity.DialogType (Java) and porting::AndroidDialogType (C++)
(2) GameActivity.DialogState (Java) and porting::AndroidDialogState (C++)
- When showing a text input dialog, there is no custom accept button text any more.
- showDialog()/showDialogUI() for text input is now showTextInputDialog()/showTextInputDialogUI().
- showInputDialog()/showDialogUI() for text input is now showTextInputDialog()/showTextInputDialogUI().
- getDialogValue()/getInputDialogValue() is now getDialogMessage()/getInputDialogMessage().
