The +8/+16/+24/+32/+40 (and the new +48) modes all pick the reporting
vehicle the same way: the activator's own Mechanik if it's the primary
driver, otherwise the consist's controlling vehicle (ctOwner) - so the
event still resolves correctly if a wagon happens to trigger it ahead
of its locomotive.
+0 (train name / stations left / stop flag) predates that pattern and
never got it: it required m_activator->Mechanik directly and silently
wrote nothing otherwise. A whois hook placed where the loco doesn't
necessarily lead (e.g. a train that reverses direction, or one being
propelled) can have a wagon trigger the event first and the memcell
stays empty, with no error - hard to diagnose from scenery side.
Same owner-selection, same guard semantics (still nothing written if
neither the activator nor its consist has a controller), only the
source of the vehicle it reads from is widened.
In TSegment there were two different formulas for a derivative. Most places called GetFirstDerivative() that used the direct formula from the curve points. However RaPositionGet() had its own calculation based on pre-computed cubic polynomial coefficients. This latter method is faster and simpler, so change GetFirstDerivative() to use it and change RaPositionGet() to just call GetFirstDerivative().
TSegment::GetTFromS() is a significant hotspot in the non-rendering part of the state_manager update (about 13%). This change introduces a FastGetTFromS() version that interpolates from precomputed values instead of doing the whole calculation on every call. Computing position from track distance is now done in constant time. This reduces the contribution to about 0.3%.
- Lua bindings are no longer using FFI in favor of the "classic" Lua C API.
- This makes it work properly on native Linux builds.
- Changed the Lua API slightly:
- Removed the `api.event_preparefunc()` function because it is no longer necessary. Instead, you can pass any function you want without preparing it first.
- Added an `api.event_exists()` function. Takes a single `name` argument.
- Any `api.find_*()` functions return `nil` instead of an userdata representing a null pointer when the requested object is not found.
