This is needed (for now) in order to parallelize ingame_chat, because
one of the handled messages updates this value on the server. It turns
out that the value is not actually used on the server, only the client,
so this was mostly a matter of threading this back to the correct place.
Additionally, we took the opportunity to modify the UI to not log you
into the game until your character was confirmed to be loaded, which
was a todo item that lets us simplify some error handling logic and
remove stuff from global state.
entities are synced from and displayed in.
NOTE: Syncing entities work at the granularity regions which are
multi-chunk squares but the display of entities in voxygen is limited in
a circle with the radiues of the supplied distance.
Additional details and changes:
* Added `ViewDistances` struct in `common` that contains separate
terrain and entity view distances (the entity view distance will be
clamped by the terrain view distance in uses of this).
* View distance requests from the client to the server now use this
type.
* When requesting the character or spectate state the client now passes
its desired view distances. This is exposed as a new parameter on
`Client::request_character`/`Client::request_spectate`. And the client
no longer needs to send a view distance request after entering these
states. This also allows us to avoid needing to initialize `Presence`
with a default view distance value on the server.
* Removed `DerefFlaggedStorage` from `Presence` and `RegionSubscription` since the
change tracking isn't used for these components.
* Add sliders in voxygen graphics and network tabs for this new setting.
Show the clamped value as well as the selected value next to the
slider.
* Rename existing "Entities View Distance" slider (which AFAIK controls
the distance at which different LOD levels apply to figures) to
"Entities Detail Distance" so we can use the former name for this new
slider.
Actually implement creating npc with new EntitytInfo by chaning
CreateNpc.loadout to CreateNpc.inventory and cleaning code in
NpcData::from_entity_info.
Piercing damage now ignores an amount of protection equal to the piercing damage value.
Crushing damage now does poise damage equal to the amount of mitigated damage.
When poise damage is dealt while in a poise state, poise damage is instead converted to damage.
* Pets now teleport to their owner when they are too far away from them
* Limited the animals that can be tamed to `QuadrupedLow` and `QuadrupedSmall` to prevent players taming overly powerful creatures before the pet feature is further developed
* Added `Pet` component used to store pet information about an entity - currently only used to store the pet's database ID
* Added `pet` database table which stores a pet's `body_id` and `name`, alongside the `character_id` that it belongs to
* Replaced `HomeChunk` component with more flexible `Anchor` component which supports anchoring entities to other entities as well as chunks.
* Added "migration of migrations" to transfer the data from the __diesel_schema_migrations table to the refinery_schema_history table
* Removed all down migrations as refinery does not support down migrations
* Changed all diesel up migrations to refinery naming format
* Added --sql-log-mode parameter to veloren-server-cli to allow SQL tracing and profiling
* Added /disconnect_all_players admin command
* Added disconnectall CLI command
* Fixes for several potential persistence-related race conditions
