ONE PATCH! This commit brings us to half of the patching goal: on launch
of the client, we only show ONE "Updating..." message before we enter the
game proper. Go us!
Now we render titles above the progress bar and the status below (in the
same color as the progress bar!). Also, introduce a new info field that is
guaranteed to be right justified.
This has a couple of benefits:
- We should theoretically no longer run into UnicodeDecodeErrors from the
plString-based implementation
- By doing things engine side, we can use the logging API to colorize log
messages.
This fixes the stutter when adding a buddy to the KI. The return value was
never used, according to grep. There is a delay between hitting enter and the player being added, but that's acceptable.
And Hoikas said, "I cannot tell a difference in the skinning times on my
not-crappy computer with only a tenth of a millisecond resolution." So we
now have hundredth of a millisecond in the profiling display. These are
the kinds of problems you have when developing with a machine that doesn't
suck. It would be nice if players didn't try to run the game on machines
from before the exctinction event that ended the Permian era.
This should help people realize that things are happening... Even if
whatever server they're connected to takes a very long time to process a
join request. At some point in the future, the linking process should be
de-serialized.
