Unbind the game from the platform system, which is useful when developing for or debugging the game. This was supposed to make it into the SDK back in 2021, but wasn't due to the ability to spoof usernames. This is no longer possible on servers requiring authentication as the player's name is actually checked along with the Nucleus ID.
The code originally fetches available and selected languages from Origin/EADesktop. The issue however is that its hard to change the language through the Origin/EADesktop app. The second issue is that the languages returned by Origin/EADesktop isn't necvesarily supported by our version of the game, for example, the original implementation of EbisuSDK_GetLanguage() also returns ar_SA, which is supported by the retail version of the game, but our version doesn't have the code to render this language. The code has been rewritten to allow the user to easily change the language using the command line '-language' parameter. The miles code has also been slightly adjusted to fetch the language directly from HEbisuSDK_GetLanguage() instead of miles_language since otherwise we would still error out in engine code as miles_language will be out of sync.
Move all server convars out of the EbisuSDK lib, the min/max name len are now parameterized. This also makes it possible to use the code on the client if ever needed.
Recently, there has been a sudden influx of players playing with a name that isn't valid. Names such as " " or "@something $very !crazy". This patch fixes this problem by enforcing checks during connect by default.
When fatal is set, the function will show a error dialogue, which will halt the process and close when the message is dismissed. Else we will end up in a crash.
* Fix all compiler error for GameSDK on S0 and S1.
* Remove some unused patterns and globals (launch performance gains of 100ms).
* Remove most duplicate patterns.
* Relocate globals from engine to a more appropriate location.
* Renamed some unknown vars to a more appropriate name (most of these where obtained a while back, but as we reversed more parts of the engine, some of these vars become known).
* Renamed some vars to fit the naming convention used in the SDK.
* Fixed pattern debug logging using the wrong pointer, thus displaying the wrong address.
Moved logging functions to dbg.h (tier0) and export them from the dll.
Added additional functions for checking bad pointers (debug only!).
Reduced output code size.
* IVEngineServer::PersistenceAvailable() only sets the persistence var in the CClient struct when 'g_bIsPersistenceVarSet[clientidx]' is false. It sets it to true when a client connects and the var has been set. The var gets reset on any disconnection, and 'g_bIsPersistenceVarSet[clientidx]' gets set to false by CBaseClient::Clear()
* current Origin globals are already cross season compatible.
* Codebase restructured to SourceSDK codebase style and .cpp/.h assertion paths in the game executable.
* Document most functions with valve style 'Purpose' blocks.
* Rename variables to match the rest of the codebase and Valve's naming convention.
* Dedicated DLL and the SDKLauncher now share the same codebase as the DevSDK.
* Obtain globals or pointers directly instead of waiting for runtime initialized data.
* Dynamically search for all functions and globals (this doesn't count for dedicated yet!).
* Initialize most in-SDK variables.
* Move certain prints and other utilities under ConVars to reduce verbosity and increase performance.
* Print all pattern scan results through a virtual function to make it easier to add and debug new patterns in the future.
* Type global var pointers appropriately if class or type is known and implemented.
* Forward declare 'CClient' class to avoid having 2 'g_pClient' copies.
* Add IDA's pseudo definitions for easier prototyping with decompiled assembly code.
* RPAK decompress Command callback implementation.
* Load decompressed RPaks from 'paks\Win32\' overriding the ones in 'paks\Win64\' (the decompress callback will automatically fix the header and write it to 'paks\Win32\').
* VPK decompress Command callback implementation.
* Move CRC32 ands Adler32 to implementation files.
* Server will print out more details about the connecting client.
* Upgrade ImGui lib to v1.86.
* Don't compile id3dx.h for dedicated.
* Don't compile id3dx.cpp for dedicated
* Implement DevMsg print function allowing to print information to the in-game VGUI/RUI console overlay, ImGui console overlay and the external windows console
* Fixed bug where the Error function would not properly terminate the process when an error is called. This caused access violations for critical/non-recoverable errors.
* Fixed bug where the game would crash if the console or server browser was enabled while the game was still starting up.
* Several bug fixes for the dedicated server (warning: dedicated is still considered work-in-progress!).
