* THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE USED WITH SHIPPING CODE!
* This is used for a quick way to call virtual functions for reverse engineering and rebuilding big functions, upon successful rebuild, implement needed VTables accordingly.
In Respawn's engine, the '-forceborder' command line parameter does the same thing as '-noborder'. '-forceborder' should remove the flags (nand) while '-noborder' should append the borderless flag. This code is an attempt to mitigate the problem. There was not enough bytes to assemble the nand operation for this code path without involving code caves or shifting.
* Add '-nosmap' command line parameter to disable signature caching.
* Invalidate the cache map after initialization.
* Add const qualifiers where possible.
This implementation was done to calculate buffer CRC on the go, as that was what the VPK file system uses for the file crc's. But it later turned out to be unnecessary, and was never reverted.
* Fixed bug where the system still added entries after we are initialized (file has already been written to the disk).
* Moved loading logic to CSigCache class.
* Dedicated and Host/Client now have their own cache files.
* Promoted size types in CUtlBuffer to int64.
* Fixed bug where CUtlBuffer::GetPtr returns a 64bit pointer that was promoted from a 32bit integral type.
* Use int64/size_t for anything strlen, pointer subtraction, etc..
* Removed invalid structure alignment declarations.
Previously we used Json, however the rest of the game features KeyValues. I changed the system to feature KeyValues instead, to maintain consistency. Also improved the logic behind loading/parsing so we don't reparse the same level settings file if the pointer is still valid and we are on the same level.
The CPackedStore class now heavily relies on the engine's FileSystem and KeyValues API. Since its part of the engine, it would make more sense to utilize the engine's features instead. It also allows for easier modifications.
* The logic behind the build process hasn't changed.
Relies on the engine's implementation of 'KeyValues::RecursiveSaveToFile'. The IFileSystem methods have been fixed up with the CUtlBuffer class rebuild in which we could call these to write a KV memory structure as a file to the disk.
* Added validity checks for player names, they must be UTF-8 encoded, else game clients will crash attempting to set non-UTF-8 player names in RUI.
* CServer::RejectConnection now takes a 'v_netadr_t*', previously it was 'user_creds_s*', which worked as 'v_netadr_t' is the first member in 'user_creds_s'.
* Programmer must now manually pass a character buffer to 'v_net_adr::GetAddress(...)'.
