* Moved dedicated server command line parameter init to 'init.cpp'.
* Registered 'SV_Main' on the client, this is engine code (lower level 'local' server wrappers).
* Disabled registration of Weapon_Bolt, although this is shared game code, this particular file is only used for the SERVER at this moment.
* Added the '-noserverdll' command lien parameter to instruct our loader.dll to load the client.dll instead.
* Adjusted the loader and sdklauncher project to support the loading of client.dll.
This commit fixes an engine bug where netmessages are getting copied into the replay buffer, while these messages should never be replayed. The engine performs an internal check on 'CNetMessage::m_nGroup', and if its NOT 2, the message is getting copied into the replay buffer. All messages returning false in 'ShouldReplayMessage' are not getting copied into the replay buffer anymore. This exploit has been used in the past to route clients that were watching a replay to an arbitrary server, which essentially forms an info leak as the client attempts to connect to the arbitrary server on its own. The exploit also allows for some form of remote code execution, depending on if the client was launched in developer mode or not.
* Format the ip as '[ip]:port' in all logging calls for consistency.
* Fixed a bug causing the IP to be send up as full instead of base only to master server (should always be base only).
* Temporarily uncommented the plugin callback logic.
SV_IsClientBanned is now checked after the creating of CClient, and thus 'CServer::AuthClient' has been inlined into 'CServer::ConnectClient'. Since we have to request the master server to check whether or not this particular client is globally banned, we have to detach it into a separate thread, and process the results back into the main thread once finished. This takes too much time, so we connect the client anyways and if the master server marked it as 'banned', we disconnect it right away.
Rebuilds SV_BroadcastVoiceData with an additional check of "sv_alltalk" cvar to disable team checking, allowing for servers to enable global voice chat
Initial implementation of the bulk ban check system. This implementation takes a snapshot of the currently connected clients, sends it up to the master server, and the master server returns anything within this list that is marked 'banned'. The server would then kick the player from the server. This commit also removes the global banned list cache, as the bulk checking system offers a lot more freedom regarding banning specific players and have it sync across all available servers.
* 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.
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.
