Some parts of the engine have to be rebuild in order to implement this correctly, therefore, it has been removed for now to avoid potential performance problems.
fps_max_rt and fps_max_gfx have been limited to 295 to avoid a contest with the engine's hard limit causing huge performance hits.
Propagated latency markers in an attempt to further reduce input latency. Code is pending rigorous testing on several systems, including systems powered by an AMD GPU to make sure we are not impacting performance on systems that does NOT support NVIDIA Reflex.
Limits frames at a much higher level of precision than 'fps_max' and 'fps_max_gfx', probably ideal to reduce input latency even more. Also changed the logic of the NVIDIA Reflex frame limiter, to which it would use the desktop's refresh rate if set to '-1'. The new render thread frame limiter has a similar behavior. Using desktop refresh rates on the render thread or NVIDIA Reflex frame limiter requires 'fps_max' to be set to 0 (unlimited), as it would otherwise result in a major performance drop due to a contest if fps_max_(gfx/rt) is set to a similar number as fps_max.
Find regex pattern:
inline auto ([a-zA-Z0-9_]+) = ([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)\.RCast<([a-zA-Z0-9_:<>*]+) *\(\*\)\(([^)]*)\)>\(\);
Replace regex pattern:
inline $3(*$1)($4);
This commit also removes the unnecessary initialization (which was required to type the auto variables),
and therefore removed 6kb of unnecessary dynamic initialization code.
When and after 'Host_Shutdown()' is called, the window handle is still valid, thus the handler still gets called. This gets destroyed in 'OnShutdown()' called from 'CEngineAPI::RunListenServer()'. But we do shutdown the ImGui implementation in 'Host_Shutdown()'... Therefore, we should check if the implementation is initialized or not before running the window procedure handler.
The 'DirectX_Init()' call was performed late in code, shortly after the window has been created (at this point all device objects and window handles are valid), but the 'DirectX_Shutdown()' call was performed on DLL_DETACH, which was way too late, as the objects were already destroyed at this point. This wasn't an issue before, as we created our own objects in the old DX code. But due to optimizations, we were using the same pointers as the game (noticeable performance boost), but did not adjust the shutdown to accommodate the changes. The shutdown is now performed while the device objects and window handles are valid. Code has been tested on Nvidia and AMD systems, and has confirmed to fix the aforementioned issues.
The shutdown patch from commit '48c2401c' created another bug where all inputs get collated, and once drawn, emitted to the ImGui interfaces. The patch has been undone, and the 'ImGui_ImplDX11_Shutdown()' call has been placed before 'ImGui_ImplWin32_Shutdown()', as this was how it was performed according to the official documentation and examples provided by Dear ImGui. The call 'ImGui::DestroyContext()' has also been added (taken from the examples). Removed redundant static global bool.
Fix a rare crash that occurs in AMD driver code, when ImGui shutdown was called. The crash did not occur if the library was shutdown after having rendered one of the ImGui panels for one frame. The fix is to just never call 'ImGui_ImplDX11_NewFrame()', 'ImGui_ImplWin32_NewFrame()' and 'ImGui::NewFrame()', 'ImGui::EndFrame()', 'ImGui::Render()' if none of the windows are visible. code has been tested on a system that would trigger the crash, and after the patch, the crash no longer happened.
Moved, and renamed to 'CreateTextureResource'. Reason for move was that the rtech libraries is used by server and client, and using this on dedicated requires linking directx libraries, as it has to be hooked (even when not used). Moved to client only code to avoid having to hook it. Material system is no longer linked to the dedicated server module, as nothing from it was getting used.
Refactored code to only feature game pointers, this avoids the unnecessary overhead that was previously caused by creating our own device pointers, swapchain, etc.. This commit also fixes the classic 'black screen' problem when the aspect ratio is set to 4:3 - 5:4, however, a similar bug returned for this causing Dear ImGui to not draw at all when the aspect ratio is set to 4:3 - 5:4. This commit also moves the old HwndProc hook to 'CGame::WindowProc'.
This menu isn't in much need, in fact; we didn't even knew it existed until someone started to complain about it! Currently, the drawing logic isn't setup to support this properly either. Disabled the shortcut menu.
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.
This commit fixes a bug causing all input to be lost. This gets triggered when either the console or server browser window is drawing while the user tabs out of the full-screen window, or resizes the game window.
'ImGuiConfig::Load()' was loading from the new path, however 'ImGuiConfig::Save()' was not. Defined path as constant expression to avoid this problem in the future. Also loading the files through the engine's API from now on.
* Fix history duplication by removing trailing white space characters from submitted commands in console.
* Fix out of range exception caused by caching svConVar.size() in CConsole::BuildSummary while we are modifying it.
* Fixed memory leak caused by extraneous Strdup calls in CConsole.
* Renamed variables and structure members, static vars in id3dx.cpp are not prefixed with s_, IBrowser_Config is now m_BrowserConfig.
* Performed code cleanup in id3dx.cpp.
Previously we enabled/disabled the input system each frame, depending on the state of the ImGui windows. This commit changes the behavior into only enabling/disabling when the menu's are closed (either through the keyboard or the close button).
I added a simple callback to ImGui::Begin which will be called when the close button on the ImGui panel is pressed and the callback pointer isn't nullptr, this was required as there was otherwise no way to determine when the close button was clicked.
* Replaced the boolean 'fatal' parameter with a error code parameter, anything non-null will prompt a message (fatal) and terminate the process with given error code.
* Fixed bug where the global ostreamsink for spdlog did NOT get cleared in 'SQVM_PrintFunc' when cvar 'sq_showvmoutput' was < 3. Moved to global scope.
* Added error message for when detouring the process has failed, with the error code.
* Only call 'Plat_GetProcessUpTime()' once per log, (improves performance and fixes bug where the error message box would show a different time stamp than what is logged into the console or file).
* All TIER0 loggers only log to notify and console when the SDK engine has fully initialized and detoured all functions.
When fatal is set, the function will show a error dialogue, which will halt the process and close when the message is dismissed. Else we will end up in a crash.
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.
* 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.
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.
* Added ability to invert rect to calculate offsets from bottom/right as well so debug text doesn't get out of view, or obstruct view when window is resized.
* Added Con_NPrintf() hook which shows detailed systems running times and VGUI panel debug information.
