* Since the material mode is set to '2', all of the render loops and shader loading functions are no longer called. These have all been removed.
* Added description for patches that missed them
* Traced root caller/cause for certain patches to skip even more unnecessary code and save more memory.
The dedicated server still has directx dll imports which will cause issues with ReShade or 3DMigoto, or trying to load it on a headless machine with no directx installed. The imports have to be cleared to avoid issues. The most convenient approach is to do this with a separate exe rather then patching it in runtime.
The instruction at 'CalcPropStaticFrustumCull' [0x14028F3B0 + 0x5C7] moves RSP + 0x70 into the R13 register.
RSP + 0x70 seems to contain a pointer to collission data for that particular prop model.
When running NoShaderApi() and passing the dedicated server the '-noshaderapi' command line parameter, RSP + 0x70 will be a nullptr.
This has to be fixed to have prop static collissions on the server.
Dedicated RemoteFunctionCallsChecksum needs fixing because its currently always null.
Hidden needs to be implemented. I wouldn't say its needed currently till the Pylon re-write hits indev branch.
The approach could likely be performed better, however this is a multithreaded operation and isn't very easy to debug. So far this allowed the server to start and change to every level. The root cause has to be identified when the server is stable
* Fixed assert on ImGui on IBrowser because ImGui::Begin wasn't followed up by ImGui::End
* FileExists got modernized. Using std library instead of Windows native functions now.
* RTech::DecompressedSize is actually readable now thanks to steyk.
* Same goes for RTech::Decompress
* rtech_decompress prints the decompressed file CRC32 now and writes the file all at once.
* Fixed ImGui assert on spamming SetupImGui();
* Codebase restructured to SourceSDK codebase style and .cpp/.h assertion paths in the game executable.
* Document most functions with valve style 'Purpose' blocks.
* Rename variables to match the rest of the codebase and Valve's naming convention.
* Dedicated DLL and the SDKLauncher now share the same codebase as the DevSDK.
* Obtain globals or pointers directly instead of waiting for runtime initialized data.
* Dynamically search for all functions and globals (this doesn't count for dedicated yet!).
* Initialize most in-SDK variables.
* Move certain prints and other utilities under ConVars to reduce verbosity and increase performance.
* Print all pattern scan results through a virtual function to make it easier to add and debug new patterns in the future.
* Type global var pointers appropriately if class or type is known and implemented.
* Forward declare 'CClient' class to avoid having 2 'g_pClient' copies.
* Add IDA's pseudo definitions for easier prototyping with decompiled assembly code.
* RPAK decompress Command callback implementation.
* Load decompressed RPaks from 'paks\Win32\' overriding the ones in 'paks\Win64\' (the decompress callback will automatically fix the header and write it to 'paks\Win32\').
* VPK decompress Command callback implementation.
* Move CRC32 ands Adler32 to implementation files.
* Server will print out more details about the connecting client.
* Upgrade ImGui lib to v1.86.
* Don't compile id3dx.h for dedicated.
* Don't compile id3dx.cpp for dedicated
* Implement DevMsg print function allowing to print information to the in-game VGUI/RUI console overlay, ImGui console overlay and the external windows console
* Fixed bug where the Error function would not properly terminate the process when an error is called. This caused access violations for critical/non-recoverable errors.
* Fixed bug where the game would crash if the console or server browser was enabled while the game was still starting up.
* Several bug fixes for the dedicated server (warning: dedicated is still considered work-in-progress!).
'Changelevel 'concommand works consistently and indefinitely now
Huge strip down in resource usage. Few things to be fixed still so idle mem usage is still balooned due to a temporary solution brought in place to prevent crashing when loading texture and material assets.
Stripping texture and material assets preloading from the root caused issues in 'CStudioRenderContext' and 'ModelLoader'. This needs to be addressed in the future
Exact line of the issue: Line 177 in opcodes.cpp:
"gCSourceAppSystemGroup_Create.Offset(0x384).Patch({ 0x90, 0x90, 0x90 }); // PrecacheMaterial"
