Originally, we store the search results in a CMemory instance which we then assign to the actual function pointer. CMemory is just a pointer class; we can assign the results directly to the actual function pointer. This commit reduces a lot of code verbosity, and also reduced roughly 2KiB worth of static pointers in the resulting executable. This commit also officially deprecates the support for any GameDLL's below S3 (Season 3), since it makes more sense to port the assets from earlier/later games back to the version this SDK supports.
The implementation in the engine always took/returned signed 64bit size types, but I made a mistake when reversing the virtual function table. All types have been changed to what they should be (mostly signed 64bit, very few unsigned), and usage in-SDK has been adjusted accordingly.
Destruvtor is prepended on every class in-engine. Reflected in SDK. Also removed extraneous method from ICvar causing other methods below it to misalign after the IAppSystem change.
Previously we used Json, however the rest of the game features KeyValues. I changed the system to feature KeyValues instead, to maintain consistency. Also improved the logic behind loading/parsing so we don't reparse the same level settings file if the pointer is still valid and we are on the same level.
The CPackedStore class now heavily relies on the engine's FileSystem and KeyValues API. Since its part of the engine, it would make more sense to utilize the engine's features instead. It also allows for easier modifications.
* The logic behind the build process hasn't changed.
Relies on the engine's implementation of 'KeyValues::RecursiveSaveToFile'. The IFileSystem methods have been fixed up with the CUtlBuffer class rebuild in which we could call these to write a KV memory structure as a file to the disk.
* Fix all compiler error for GameSDK on S0 and S1.
* Remove some unused patterns and globals (launch performance gains of 100ms).
* Remove most duplicate patterns.
* Relocate globals from engine to a more appropriate location.
* Renamed some unknown vars to a more appropriate name (most of these where obtained a while back, but as we reversed more parts of the engine, some of these vars become known).
* Renamed some vars to fit the naming convention used in the SDK.
* Fixed pattern debug logging using the wrong pointer, thus displaying the wrong address.
* Removed some unused signatures.
* Named 2 CBaseFileSystem methods, and applied them to 'MOD_ProcessPakQueue()'.
* Renamed 'qword_1671061C8' to 'g_pMTVFTaskItem'.
* Renamed 'g_pMapVPKCache' to 'g_szMTVFItemName'.
* Only set first byte to 0 in 'g_szMTVFItemName' (actual size is 0x100, not 0x40).
Implement VFTable's to interface with engine (for the most part mapped out, only the new VPK methods needs further reversing).
This exposes a good majority of the FileSystem implementation of the engine, to the SDK.
