Implement new Easy/Normal/Hard/Brutal AI with meaningful differences

15

Our current AI definitions in the default mods arent that great. General feedback from casual players shows that they are simultaneously far too difficult for new players, and trivially easy...

This would help catch issues like #9895.

Smudge and resource layers should be split into state and render traits

2

These traits currently handle both the "true" state of the world as well as the player-specific (freezing under fog) views. This makes for some rather ugly code, incorrect rendering when...

Implement a more efficient voxel renderer

5

Key points: * Render directly into the screen buffer, without using an intermediate FBO. Once #14415 is done the rendering can be split into opaque vs translucent passes to help...

Update to the next SDK/engine release when it is available.

The next OpenRA playtest will include changes that I expect will significantly help performance here, and removes the overhead that made the waving trees so bad in the past. It...

Server should run as a system service

The resource center is now also running in a dedicated VM, so the virtualenvwrapper is unnecessary complexity. https://github.com/warwick-one-metre/dashboard (dashboard.service, dashboard.ini) provides...

Record registration IP on account creation

This would help a lot with fighting our ongoing abuse

e.g. https://resource.openra.net/maps/uploader/0/ ``` ERROR:django.request:Internal Server Error: /maps/uploader/0/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/resource/Envs/resource.openra.net/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 149, in get_response response = self.process_exception_by_middleware(e, request) File "/home/resource/Envs/resource.openra.net/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 147, in get_response response =...

Rewrite parsers to use AppImages

The different engine versions / parsers should be exposed through the admin interface, with a dropdown allowing the admin to select an AppImage from a defined directory and a second...
