In practice, only the xrandr code path received any testing. Since Clonk
works fine without changing the resolution, this will not terribly
inconvenience anybody still stuck on old systems without xrandr.
Also only minimize the window when the resolution was changed.
The minimization is there to prevent accidental focus restoration
resulting in unwanted resolution switching.
Change the .sln file to make Visual Studio reload that; this also implies
reloading all of the child projects. This way, we don't get a reload prompt for
each loaded project.
On non-Express versions of MSVC, the CMake macros still run. I don't think there
is a way to disable them, but you can copy the macro body of StopBuilds to that
of ReloadProjects to only get a single dialog box.
Updates work only when the game data is at the same location as the binary.
If this is not the case then the game was probably installed differently,
for example via the distribution or with make install. In this case we
cannot do automatic updates but we also want to use a different system path.
This fixes the linux development snapshots and release tarballs. They were
broken in the sense that they didn't find their game data.
The usage of timsort instead of std::sort at this point is twofold. First,
it's faster in our case where the array is already sorted in many cases
(remember this is called at least once a frame). And it's not just a bit
faster either but a lot. I have measured a factor of 7 on my system.
Second, in our Windows autobuilds there is a crash within std::sort which is
very hard to debug because it's hardly reproducible with anything other than
the autobuilds (I tried hard). If the crash goes away with timsort then
great, if not then maybe it's easier to debug since the code is in our tree.
With this change, MSVC will build binaries in ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}
without adding any more subdirectories. It will also expect its data in a
directory called "planet" immediately below the binary directory.
Since MSVC allows building multiple configurations from the same input file,
the resulting binaries will be suffixed by the configuration type. An exception
is RelWithDebInfo, which will have no suffix; this was chosen over plain Release
to aid in debugging.
Building OpenClonk will work out of the box for in-source builds, but
out-of-source builds will have to create a symlink or a directory junction.
We consider this an acceptable drawback; it was proposed that if you use the
non-default option of an out-of-tree build, you will also know how to create a
link or a junction to, or copy the planet directory.
This changeset also revives looking for game data in the same directory as the
binary, which was part of c3fc1ee1ec8c [Peter Wortmann].
