C2C SVN Changelog

• Fixed concurrency crash reported by SO
• Removed BUG start-as-minor check on pre-existing military when adding clubman

• Enhanced auto-adapting version of graphics paging

• It automatically detects the resolution you are running at and adjusts the 'page in' boundary accordingly, so this value is no longer needed in the UI
• It keep all graphics paged in, until memory requirements make it necessary to free them. Thus it auto-adapts to memory usage and the page-out value is no longer needed in the UI
• Rather than using (even internally) a page-out range, it now uses an LRU eviction algorithm so that whichever plots you least recently viewed are the ones that get paged out. The net effect of this is that if you tend to be clicking between a few areas those areas tend to stay paged fully in, and no delays are incurred
• It now defaults to being switched on for anyone newly installing the mod (or upgrading from a version that didn't have graphics paging at all). For anyone that already had the previous version it's enablement will respect the value you previously set, but I recommend everyone turns it on now.

• Fixed crash reported by jscolton
• Tidied up graphics paging code a little for efficiency
• Moved whether forts provide bonuses into general improvement XML

• Fixed crash inadvertently added with yesterday's changes (oops)
• Modified culture generation by improvements to no longer require the <bActsAsCity> tag to operate (just requires non-0 <iCulture>)

• Adjusted graphics paging to better adapt to machines with less than 2.5G physical RAM
• Separated out provision of ZOCs by improvements from <bActsAsCity> into an independent tag
• Adjusted AI to handle separation of fort tags for culture, bonus provision, and ZOCs
• Fixed a subtle (pre-existing) bug with ZOCs
• Fixed potential crash when opening the Pedia from the main menu

• The graphics paging works by paging out graphics (apart from those currently visible) on an on demand basis, according to whether the memory is needed. It determines whether more memory is needed based on whether the process' current usage is above a threshold that it tries to keep below. This threshold is <default threshold> for large physical memory machines, or <physical RAM>-<Allowance for OS> if lower. The code defaults the values to 2G for the <default threshold> and 0.5G for the <allowance for OS>. However, these values can be overridden by global defines for detailed tuning if need be (end users really shouldn't need to touch this normally though). The global defines are NOT set by default, but can be added if necessary, and are named 'MAX_DESIRED_MEMORY_USED' and 'OS_MEMORY_ALLOWANCE' respectively, and are specified in number of Kbytes.
• The tag for specifying that an improvement provides a ZOC is 'bIsZOCSource'. I have added it to the three existing forts.
• I have added pedia and hover text for improvements to make their ZOC provision, and universal bonus provision visible there

• Fixed start as minors clubmen breeding when you reload!
• Fixed a blind spot in the AIs building evaluation that prevented it seeing a poor building enabled a good one
• Fixed a major bug with the naval AI that prevented it launching naval invasions
• Improved performance of several AI navy routines
