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.
* Added new member 'm_nSpawnCount'.
* Added hook for 'CServer::RunFrame'.
* Abstract class 'IServer' no longer exists in this engine, inherit from 'IConnectionlessPacketHandler' instead (see RTTI in engine executable).
This change was planned for a long time. This moves all REGISTER calls to a single translation unit, this is required as we currently added a very dirty workaround for not registering duplicates by checking if VFTable pointer was already present in the vector... Registering from single translation unit prevents duplicate instances that gets created if header is included by more cpp files.
Reworking this reduced 100kb+ of compiled code. This commit also reworked the way functions/variables/constant gets logged with their addresses; the new code formats them on the fly, and allows for resize at any time. Formatting is no longer required by programmer.
TODO: currently there are some compile errors for dedicated and client dll's. These will be resolved very soon as they need to be properly worked out still (server & client only stuff needs to be properly split). Use the 'main' (stable) branch for the time being if you need to compile these dll's.
* 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(...)'.
* Fixed bug where multiple of the same entries get added to the global ban/refuse list.
* Fixed bug where we still use the client instance after deleting it in 'CBanSystem::BanListCheck()'.
* Load banlist at a later state (not at construction of class), this is needed for a future change of adapting the 'business' code to feature the game's FileSystem.
* CServer cleanup.
* More detailed ban messages (banned, added to refused list, removed from slot, etc..).
* Use localization key for banned message ("#Valve_Reject_Banned").
* Add const qualifiers to all CPylon methods.
Note:
* This commit requires changes on the master server, these changes are already performed, however the new master server isn't live yet until we publish the new release.
* Run 'CHostState::Think()' in the main thread.
* Construct 'NetGameServer_t' objects in main thread before dispatching (TODO: browser).
* Dispatch the call to 'CBanSystem::AddConnectionRefuse' from 'SV_IsClientBanned' to the main thread if we aren't main.
* Return bool for CBanSystem::AddEntry and CBanSystem::DeleteEntry for future optimizations (next commit).
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.
* 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.
