CConsole now uses a dedicated class for logging text (modified CTextEditor class (CTextLogger)). The class uses an ImDraw list with a character vector to draw the text.
Text could be selected by double click (word), triple click (line), a selection by dragging the cursor, or everything with 'ctrl + a'.
The game uses 2 types, CSquirrelVM (mostly exposed to the VScript API of the engine) and HSQUIRRELVM (mostly used for internal squirrel functions like sq_pushbool etc..).
This refactor properly splits the CSquirrelVM* functions from the HSQUIRRELVM (SQVM*) ones. The functions have also been renamed accordingly and the prototypes have been adjusted to use the correct pointer type.
* Fixed compiler error when trying to compile SDK Launcher in debug (static lib was not compiled with static link runtime).
* Documented most stuff in basepanel.cpp
* Split some logic into dedicated functions in basepanel.cpp
* Implemented VDF parser from Matthias Moeller.
* Parse playlist file and load all playlists into the combo box.
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.
* Finished designer code for launcher gui.
* Basic implementation of setting flags for host launch option.
* Check in 'CHostState::LoadConfig' if -launcher is below 1.. if condition is met the cfg's will be executed from 'CHostState::LoadConfig'.
* Added 'StringIsDigit' utility.
* Mostly rebuild CServer structure.
* Partially rebuild CNetworkStringTable structure.
* Partially rebuild CNetworkStringTableContainer structure.
* Removed redundant patterns which are now covered in the data structure.
Moved server/client headers and implementations into dedicated subfolder.
Renamed Some classes to match the game binary (e.g. CBaseClient is now CClient).
Removed redundant files.
Add '-nodiscord' and '-nobakedparticles' to launch params for dedicated.
Add hook for 'MemAlloc_Internal()'.
Rename loggers to be more consistent with naming.
Revert omitting frame pointers.
Show colors on console and use color constant to determine color instead of comparing strings in the console render loop. removed 5 string compares which should once again bump the performance quite a bit. The last string compares will be removed soon
* Rebuild SetRestrictedServerCommand and SetRestrictedClientCommands
* Implemented new CMemory Function to walk through a VTable.
* pDetours->GetCon() gets called first now.
*
Note: this does not work reliably still.
The only way we could make this work 100% reliable would be to fully rebuild '0x140341D40' in the SDK and load our pak files among with the pre-existing g_pakLoadApi->AsyncLoad() call in this function, as this will ensure everything will be ran synchronously.
The current approach by taking some JT fifolock wrapper will only work reliably between one level change, unsure why the second and up fail.
Rare crash when the sqvm tries to look for an animation sequence on a missing prop_dynamic model (mdl/error.rmdl doesn't support animations), its purely to indicate there is a problem).
This is mainly for development only and in the event so many models/textures/shaders are missing, the engine would effectively crash otherwise (if some of these aren't disabled).
In 'datacache/mdlcache.cpp' the function 'CMDLCache::FindMDL' attempts to find 'mdl/error.rmdl' and assigns the studiohdr and handle to the members of CMDLFallback.
In 'CMDLCache::FindUncachedMDL' we check if a model exists, if a model does not exist, we replace the studiohdr with the one of error.rmdl we stored in the CMDLFallback structure.
This does actually work (on the dedicated server it doesn't crash at all!), but on the client it crashes when trying to gather props (right before rendering), setting the ConVar* 'old_gather_props' does interesting things (check IDA around this ConVar*). setting this to 1 causes it to crash in another CMDLCache method when trying to deref something in the global cache pool.
This method is easy to rebuild. I will do this soon and attempt to return error.rmdl parts from here as well if results are null (this might actually just work).
Leaving 'old_gather_props' to 0 causes it to crash in the middle of the function which is supposed to gather the props the 'new' way.
The gather props functions are kind of daunting
NOTE: Currently only confirmed to work somewhat properly on the dedicated server for prop_static. prop_dynamic is unconfirmed. And (almost?) works on the client.
* Added new function to CMemory allowing you to hook a virtual method from a virtual method table.
* Added SVC_Print Class
* Hooked SVC_Print::Process and print the messages the server sends.
*!! Still needs verification for earlier seasons.
* Add ConVar to allow user to set/unset FCVAR_DEVELOPMENTONLY ConVar's (default behavior would never be hit without this ConVar).
* Add icons to display the flags of a certain CommandBase.
* Fixed Dear ImGui not displaying images correctly (descriptor needs DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM_SRGB due to the nature of this game).
* Dynamically obtain buffer sizes of resources taken from modules.
* Light SDK cleanup.
Moved every pattern to IDetour interface. This allows for debugging patterns scans more easily, and create threads during pattern searching (Operation is now fired in APIENTRY).
Also cleaned up some unused code/extraneous comments.
Slightly increased performance by purging duplicate patterns.
Made variable search less dependent from other results (except if pattern-to-scan results is within the same header)
* Renamed 'r5apexsdkd64.dll' to 'gamesdk.dll'.
* Added required dedicated parameters to code instead.
* Bug fixes around CCommandLine class (fixed misaligned VTable indexes).
* SDK now supports being directly launched by the game executable.
The SDK launcher will pass '-launcher' to the game, which indicated its being launched by the launcher. If the game does not receive '-launcher', it assumes its being launched directly from the game executable, which will instead load 'startup_(dedi_)default.cfg'.
The sdk dll's are now added to the game's IAT by their dummy exports allowing for them to be loaded when the exe is loaded (the dll's do everything on init).
* Improve ConVar class (fixed several bugs).
* Hook CEngineAPI::ModInit() and set m_bRestrictServerCommands from there.
* Disable unused ConVar's and purge unused ConCommands in CEngineAPI::ModInit() for dedicated.
* Small relocation of malloc related signatures.
* Dedicated SDK now supports ASLR enabled executables.
* Complete removal of CEngineClient on the dedicated server.
* Complete removal of gHLClient and g_pHLClient on the dedicated server.
* Performance improvements for the dedicated server frame loop.
* ConVar 'CVCallback_t' structure rebuild.
* Reduced overhead throughout SDK.
Migrating to this to initialize all patterns and prototypes in Systems_Init() instead.
This should make debugging missing/not found patterns easier and allow for opting out variable/constant search (some of these require other patterns to be found, thus resulting in seg faults..).
Also added check to detect if user has a eligible CPU to run this SDK.
The game requires SSE and SSE2 instruction sets. Our SDK requires this too due to the use of SSE intrinsics, so we cannot let the game handle this. We have to check it ourselves.
* Move most definitions to implementation file to avoid recompiling whole program for small changes
* Pass strings by reference for where possible.
* Split Module class to dedicated file.
* Add const qualifiers to all eligible methods for address/module class
* Some renaming
Inline every signature defined in the SDK (previously each translation unit had its own copy of the signature and function prototype). DLL init is near instant now (85% speed improvements).
* Added 2 new FileSystem pointers with new features in their classes.
* Register all factory instances created by the GameDLL in the SDK.
* Added new command 'fs_mount_vpk' to mount a specified VPK file.
* Renamed 'fs_decompress_pak' to 'fs_unpack_vpk'.
* Some renaming of Factory and VPK types.
* Some light optimizations/cleanup.
* Adapt codebase to new class to reduce rune-like code.
* Fixed several bugs where the global CClient pointer was used instead of the instance in question to issue bans and display information about a certain client in CBanSystem and Pylon.
* Upgraded CBanSystem and Pylon to use IPv6 instead (including IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses). This breaks all existing banlist files! All bans have to be re-issued or the existing file has to be updated to use IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses and renamed to 'banlist.json', and moved to the root of the 'platform' folder.
