Moved construction logic to separate method, and call that from constructor instead. When willing to change the entire context on the same object, you can now just call 'InitFromXXXX()'. Previously, a whole new object would be generated and copied into ours, and then deleted again.
- Added command line parameter '-modsystem_debug' to allow debugging during init, as we initialize before the first Cbuf_Execute() call (responsible for executing command line post engine init).
- Added warning to 'CLocalize::LoadLocalizationFileLists', when a mod localization file fails to load.
- All mod instances are now added to a single vector, but their 'state' determine whether or not they are enabled. This allows for toggling them on while in-game in the future, without having to rebuild the engine mod list.
- Changed all filesystem calls to use that of the engine instead.
- Changed all container types to valve ones, to maintain compatibility with the filesystem of the engine, and perhaps other things in the future.
- Forced all loads/writes to "PLATFORM" path (this is where the 'mods' folder resides).
- Forced localization files to be only read from the mod instance's directory.
- Allocated each mod instance dynamically, and stored their pointers in the modlist vector to reduce memory overhead during the move operation to modlist, and potential growth of modlist vector (which if required, will reallocate everything, and thus move it all. This especially is expensive with nested vectors (CUtlVector anly supports being nested as a pointer)).
Previously, we had 3 containers mapping ConVar flags for utilities, and none of them contained all flags. This refactor moved everything into a single container class where user can get strings by flags, or the other way around. The new class contains every flag. This also means that every flag can be used to list convars by flags using the command 'convar_findByFlags'. The 'ConVar_ParseFlagString' now also supports every flag. Code has been tested and confirmed to work as designed.
*Use unordered_map to get mpdule sections instead, as this is more performant than comparing strings.
* Removed 'm_SectionName' field from ModuleSections_t, as the unordered map now keeps track of them.
* Removed all extraneous module section copies.
* Renamed 'GetImportedFunction' to 'GetImportedSymbol'.
* Renamed 'GetExportedFunction' to 'GetExportedSymbol'.
*Made a static version of 'GetImportedSymbol' and 'GetExportedSymbol', so it could be used on raw module base addresses.
*Created inlines for getting the DOS and NT headers.
*Improved formatting so the code could be read more easily on a vertical monitor.
Previously, it was all controlled from the global init (applied to all projects), but some projects need different options. With these changes, you can disable the common options applied in the 'add_module' macro, and set your own if desired.
This commit significantly reduces output code size, and a noticeable increase in performance. Changes are:
- Removed all extraneous std::string and std::vector copy constructions; use raw pointers instead to boost performance.
- Marked simple getters in CModule inline.
- Marked several functions in CModule const.
- Slightly reordered CModule class.
- 'CMemory::CheckOpCodes' and 'CMemory::Patch' now take a const reference.
Treat them as errors globally. Most of the time a warning is a bug, or problem in code that could be solved in a different (better) manner. Thirdparty code have this disabled. The warnings as errors option can be globally disabled through the CMake GUI, but this is not recommended.
Use the 'add_module' macro to add modules without creating duplicate code. This macro also takes a reuse PCH as parameter, so modules that need a precompiled header, could reuse those from different targets that compile them. This commit also restructures the group order of the generated solution files for easier code navigation.
* All libraries have been isolated from each other, and build into separate artifacts.
* Project has been restructured to support isolating libraries.
* CCrashHandler now calls a callback on crash (setup from core/dllmain.cpp, this can be setup in any way for any project. This callback is getting called when the apllication crashes. Useful for flushing buffers before closing handles to logging files for example).
* Tier0 'CoreMsgV' function now calls a callback sink, which could be set by the user (currently setup to the SDK's internal logger in core/dllmain.cpp).
TODO:
* Add a batch file to autogenerate all projects.
* Add support for dedicated server.
* Add support for client dll.
Bugs:
* Game crashes on the title screen after the UI script compiler has finished (root cause unknown).
* Curl error messages are getting logged twice for the dedicated server due to the removal of all "DEDICATED" preprocessor directives to support isolating projects. This has to be fixed properly!
* modsystem v2 initial commit
* call CModSystem::Init
* clean up custom cvar value handling
* add mod script compiling support
* add error check to script rson loading
yes this error is a duplicate but this one exits the game
* fix typo
* fix compile error
