This is controlled by the macro "WITH_CASE_PRESERVING_NAME", which is currently just set to "WITH_EDITORONLY_DATA" so that it works in editor builds (and UHT).
Added an extra NAME_INDEX entry to FName to store a second string table index for a case-variant string. The previous Index value (now called ComparisonIndex) is still used for comparison purposes (as FNames are still case-insensitive).
The Init process for an FName now works like this:
1) It will find or add a string table entry for the given string (not matching case) - this entry index is stored in ComparisonIndex.
2) It will then compare the string table entry string against the given string (matching case) to see if it also needs to add a case-variant entry for the FName.
3) If it does, it finds or adds a second string table entry (matching case) for the string - this entry index is stored in DisplayIndex.
Hard-coded FNames (those listed in UnrealNames.h) do not support case-variants (due to existing network replication rules for hard-coded FNames), so they skip steps 2 and 3.
I added FMinimalName, which is the same size as FName was previously. This shouldn't really be used (and as such, is deliberately awkward to make/use) as it loses the case-preserving behaviour of FName, however it was required for some things (like stats) that had a hard-coded upper limit on FName size.
I added FScriptName, which always contains the extra display index (even when WITH_CASE_PRESERVING_NAME is disabled). This is used by Blueprint bytecode, as the types used by Blueprint bytecode must be a consistent size between all build configurations.
Other changes:
- Fixed up any places that were passing an Index into the FName constructor which was supposed to take an EName.
- Some places were doing this to make the number unique when replicating an object, but this was losing the case-variant information, so I had to fix them.
- FName will now assert if the EName constructor is used with an value outside the range of hard-coded FNames.
- Ensured that assets, actors, and blueprint components could all be renamed in a way that only changed their case, and that these changes were correctly persisted.
- Added FLinkerNamePairKeyFuncs and TLinkerNameMapKeyFuncs for use with TSet and TMap.
- These allow ULinkerSave and ULinkerLoad to correctly write out case-variants for FNames, and also fixes an issue where the linker would erroneously write out duplicate string table entries for FNames which had a different number (causing package bloat).
- Bumped VER_MIN_SCRIPTVM_UE4 so that all Blueprint bytecode is recompiled using FScriptName.

* Distance field building is now asynchronous and stored in the DDC separately from static mesh data.
* Added OcclusionMaxDistance and Contrast properties to Movable sky light
* Using the GBuffer normal instead of the generated distance field normal, fixes artifacts on two-sided materials and between modular pieces. Also saves about .7ms / 4.5ms
* Points in the distance field are only considered 'inside' the mesh if > 50% of all rays traced hit a backface. Most meshes can have a valid distance field generated with this heuristic. Meshes without a distance field representation can receive occlusion.
* Fortnite two-sided foliage with world position offset animation works fine now
* Using the resulting bent normal for diffuse lighting, improves consistency in occluded corners
* Resulting bent normal is also used to occlude skylight specular using an approximate cone-cone intersection, prevents leaking where SSR is not available
* Fixed stationary skylights not getting lightmap mixing
* Reflection captures now work with the movable skylight, which adds its diffuse contribution to IndirectIrradiance so their lightmap mixing works
* Added new show flag to visualize mesh distance fields, which ray traces through the distance fields and gives a sense of their shape

#ttp 306334 - ROCKET: TASK: PUNTABLE: Stats: FN: Make diagnostic stats discoverable and available in the UI (don't require console to toggle)
#branch UE4
#change
DECLARE_STATS_GROUP û Added additional param GroupCategory, for subfolder use in the UI. Fixedup all Stats Group usage so the category is now propagated through where it needs to be.
Currently all Group stats have the Category æAdvancedÆ, and all engine stats have the Category æSimpleÆ û this is just to differentiate them for now, better categories will come along in future.
Modified FindOrAddMetaData as it now broadcasts a delegate (via a TaskGraph) whenever a new stat meta data is added û this was needed as not all the stat groups are æregisteredÆ when the level viewports are created (they are drip loaded), so the viewports need to listen for any additions thereafter...
GroupDescription is displayed as a tooltip in the UI for the stat entry and we may want to localize these.
RenderStats & RenderGroupedWithHierarchy: Modified so that it now takes the viewport that it should render to as a param (which is also used to determine if each stat should be visible).
Removed StatsEnabled delegate in favour of StatCheckEnabled, StatEnabled, StatDisabled, StatDisableAll for more finite usage and feedback when toggling them.
Modified FHUDGroupManager HandleCommand It now uses the new delegates to work out whether it needs to enable or disable for the current viewport, so itÆs more involved than a simple toggle, itÆs more ôis the stat enabled for the current viewport, and is it enabled for any viewportö delegate querying so it can react accordingly.
Added struct FSimpleStatFuncs: Which contains info on each æSimple StatÆ such as; name, category, description, renderfunc, togglefunc and the side of the viewport it should be rendered to
ExecSimpleStat û Calls Exec for a registered Simple Stat, ensuring the correct viewport is set
IsSimpleStat û Checks to see if a stat is a registered Simple Stat or not
SetSimpleStat û Sets the state of a specified Simple Stats
SetSimpleStats - Sets the state of the specified Simple Stats
RenderSimpleStats û Renders the Simple Stats if they are enabled, and have Render functions assigned.
Each Exec function had the code it executes which itÆs toggled and rendered into functions
Added FStatUnitData & FStatHitchesData: Moved all the globals/static variables used when enabling Stat Unit/Hitches into a struct as itÆs now used by multiple viewports and they needed their own copies. Also moved their draw functions here too.
FSceneViewport:
SwapStatCommands û Exchanges the enabled stats between two viewports, this is so when PIEing the stats which were enabled on the Level Viewport (if playing in active viewport only) get transposed to the Game Viewport, and then restored when PIE ends.
SEditorViewport:
ToggleStatCommand û Called when a stat is enabled/disabled from the UI
IsStatCommandVisible û Checks to see if a stat command should appear as visible in the UI
SEditorViewportViewMenu:
GenerateViewMenuContent û Made protected and virtual so it could be called externally.
FLevelViewportCommands: Added the code needed to generate commands for each of the Stat menu entries, however because not all stats are registered when this happens, it also creates some delegates to listen out for others that are registered later
Destructor û Needed to reset delegates
HandleNewGroupStat û Creates the new group stat commands
HandleNewStat û Creates the new stat command
FindStatIndex û Looks for where a stat should be inserted in the menu in order to maintain alphabetical order
SLevelViewport:
Modified the code so that the states of all the SimpleStats are saved so they can be restored next time the editor is ran (previously just handled FPS).
OnFloatingButtonClicked û Called whenever any of the level viewports floating buttons are clicked in order to correctly set the ælastÆ viewport global
OnToggleAllStatCommands û Called when the user selects æHide AllÆ from the viewport.
ToggleStatCommand û Called when the user selects any other stat option from the viewport.
BindStatCommand û Used to bind the menu action to the command name (used by delegate)
Added SLevelEditorViewportViewMenu (extends SEditorViewportViewMenu), and overrode GenerateViewMenuContent so that OnFloatingButtonClicked can be called whenever the menu is clicked on. This is also called during GenerateOptionsMenu, GenerateCameraMenu, GenerateShowMenu & OnToggleMaximize
Added global ptr GStatProcessingViewportClient (sim to Current, Last) used to keep track of which viewport the stat should be applied too (only valid within the scope of the Exec call).
FViewportClient:
Moved global ESoundShowFlags enum list into this class.
FCommonViewportClient:
Destructor û Needed to reset GStatProcessingViewportClient
FLevelEditorViewportClient
SetCurrentViewport û moved code responsible for setting the global æcurrentÆ viewport ptr into a func
SetLastKeyViewport û moved the code responsible for settings the global ælastÆ viewport ptr into a func
UGameViewportClient:
Destructor û Needed to cleanup delegate usage.
FViewportClient & FLevelEditorViewportClient & UGameViewportClient*
GetStatUnitData û The viewports copy of the variables needed when running the Stat Unit Exec
GetStatHitchesData û The viewports copy of the variables needed when running the Stat Hitches Exec
GetEnabledStats û Gets a list of all the stats which are enabled for the viewport
SetEnabledStats û Sets a list of all the stats which should be enabled for the viewport
IsStatEnabled û Checks to see if a specific stat is enabled for the viewport
SetStatEnabled û Sets a specifics stats state to enabled or disabled
GetSoundShowFlags û Gets which flags are enabled for the Stat Sounds Exec
SetSoundShowFlags û Sets which flags are enabled for the Stat Sounds Exec
HandleViewportStatCheckEnabled (delegate) û checks to see if a specific stat is enabled on this viewport
HandleViewportStatEnabled (delegate) û enables a specific stat for the viewport
HandleViewportStatDisabled (delegate) û disables a specific stat for the viewport
HandleViewportStatDisableAll (delegate) û disables all stats for the viewport
*FViewportClient has dummy virtual funcs and LevelEditor/Game both have the same implementations, the only differences is the GameViewports member variables are static so that the stat info persists between runs.
FLevelEditorViewportInstanceSettings deprecated bShowFPS in favour of an EnabledStats array (so we can track the state of all stats, not just FPS).
Added new config var bSaveSimpleStats: if enabled, restores previously enabled level viewport simple stats the next time the editor runs (defaults to false).
Modified FillShowFlagMenu so that thereÆs just one func and you specify where (if any) youÆd like a separator to occur.
Added FillShowStatsSubMenus so that menus can be generated which have submenus
Added the Stats sub menu to the View menu
Modified Execs so that the GStatProcessingViewportClient is set to the correct default viewport (if it wasnÆt specified), and clears again after itÆs been processed
HandleStatCommand now takes World and ViewportClient as params too û needed when Execs enabled other Execs so the world/viewport persists.
SetAverageUnitTimes û Added as a Setter func for GetAverageUnitTimes (moved code out of Stat Unit renderer and modified so that it only updates once per frame).
Stripped out all unneeded globals
