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.
distance changes (until the player crossed a chunk boundary and
triggered the normal update).
This introduces a `ViewDistance` struct that provides an abstraction
around limiting the rate the view distance can be cycled up and down.
This helps avoid unnecessary sending, deleting, and then resending of
synced things like entities (the client will still delete its terrain
locally and re-request it though).
The second part of this fix is storing the last view distance in the
`RegionSubscription` struct and then updating region subscriptions if
this doesn't match the current view distance in the `Presence`
component.
- get rid of old SysTimers for each system in favour of VSystem tracking
- move metrics generation from lib.rs to own system
- code cleanup
- remove time tracking in common::sys
In order to keep the performance we made it Internal Mutability and use a `Mutex` per Stream, till `Stream.send` is no longer `&mut self`.
The old solution didn't rely on this, but needed multiple Components instead which zest didn't liked
- fix wording in error msg
- find better name for structs
- unify errors and cleanup code with `(|| {foo?; Some(())})()` pattern
- fix the negative PlayersOnline, it was caused by having a gracefull shutdown AND a timeout error. we now unregister the client when he issues TERMINATE
```
//This is a helper structure, containing all possible data send over
pub enum ClientMsg {
Initial(ClientType),
General(ClientGeneralMsg),
InGame(ClientInGameMsg),
NotInGame(ClientNotInGameMsg),
Register(ClientRegisterMsg),
Ping(PingMsg)
}
```
Rather than having a single Stream to handle ALL data, seperate into multiple streams:
- Ping Stream, for seperate PINGS
- Register Stream, only used till the client is registered, then no longer used!
- General Stream, used for msg that can occur always
- NotInGame Stream, used for everything NOT ingame, e.g. Character Screen
- InGame Stream, used for all GAME data, players, terrain, entities, etc...
This version does compile, and gets the client registered (with auth too) but doesnt get to the char screen yet.
This fixes also the ignoring messages problem we had, as we are not sending data to the register stream!
This fixes also the problem that the server had to sleep for the Stream Creation, as the Server is now creating the streams and client has to sleep.
- Completely removed both `log` and `pretty_env_logger` and replaced
with `tracing` and `tracing_subscriber` where necessary.
- Converted all `log::info!(...)` et al. statements to just use the
shorthand macro i.e. `info!`. This was mostly to make renaming easier.
