Hi guys,
I improved the graphics performance so that leaving them on isn't a big
deal anymore.
I also improved the performance of the AI so it works well on big maps.
As an example graphics would freeze the game on a 170 by 170 tile map
and a single wolf unit would take about 2 seconds to move on a 50 by 50
tile map, (not including the time for announcing his move in text to
speech).
I'm now testing on a 1000 by 1000 tile map and the graphics don't freeze
the game and the wolf takes about 6.5 seconds to move, but that's not
too bad for 1 million tiles.
I wish I could have tracked these issues down ages ago.
I definitely tried, but I guess this time I had better performance
logging tools, and more luck, smile.
Here's the change log for the versions since dev 15:
40 Improved the way sounds were loaded and disposed which greatly
improved memory usage.
41 Added an option in preferences to turn off the graphics.
42 Significantly improved TB map rendering performance on large maps.
43 Significantly improved AI performance on large maps.
I also fixed the bugs people noticed including that last one from Vojtech.
