Add model streaming functions

[TheNormalnij]

For #3266

bool engineStreamingRequestModel(number modelId [, bool addReference = false, bool isBlocking = false ])
-- Returns true if model was requested, false otherwise.

bool engineStreamingReleaseModel(number modelId [, bool removeReference = false ])
-- Returns true if model was unloaded, false otherwise.

string engineStreamingGetModelLoadState(number modelid)
-- Returns 'unloaded' | 'loaded' | 'requested' | 'finishing' | 'reading'

Can you explain for noobs what addReference and isBlocking arguments are for?

Also, for #3266 couldn't these functions be called automatically, leaving this responsibility to MTA and not the developer? Would this be problematic?

'addReference' increases models references counter to keep the model in memory. 'blocking' loads the model from storage immediately. In #3266 these functions don't increase references count. This will cause huge fps drops when streaming memory is almost full. Gta unloads models without references and dxDrawModel3D request models every frame. dxDrawModel3D can't guarantee that a model will be rendered in the next frame without a blocking argument. This argument is dangerous (causes slow IO operations) and should not be used in render. For me 'engineStreamingReleaseModel' is more interesting. With this function you can link files in IMG and unload only one model. вс, 28 июл. 2024 г., 01:54 Fernando Rocha ***@***.***>:
