feat/gif your game

[Scoppio]

What it does

If you have the game minimap summary enabled, it will also make the gif of it.
once you start the game, every time a new image is generated it is added to the final gif.

New features

Destroyed units shown on minimap

It now shows the destroyed units on the minimap with its icon struck in the midle, they also have a heavy transparency applied to them.

ECM shows on the minimap

They differ from Sensors by having a dashed outline instead of a solid one.

Short name on the minimap

It's basically the display name without the player name, it can be turned on or off in the client settings.

It also works with non-stratops symbols

The following image is a debug image showing how the different symbols look like wiht the destroy mark

How it works?

It runs in its own thread, once every phase it receives a new buffered image, which is then enqueued in its own synchonized queue, and it build the GIF while the game runs. Very simple and easy, it is capable of handling exceptions and interruptions, sudden disconections or crashes, and will just "finish" the gif it started.
If you crash and then rejoin the game, the game object should have a new ID, so you would endup with a new gif as the continuation of the previous game.

Anything else?

Yes... do NOT use the pink lemonade.theme for the minimap if you plan on sharing the gifs on Discord or some other platforms... turns out the pink with green tones is too close to skin tone and the automod on Discord and some other NSFW moderation tools will pickup the gif as a potential NSFW gif and block it/delete it.

Looks pretty cool!

Will this support "normal" aka non-ACAR and PACAR games?

Yes, those changes are directly into MegaMek vanilla.
