This is mainly for development only and in the event so many models/textures/shaders are missing, the engine would effectively crash otherwise (if some of these aren't disabled).
Only works for prop_static (for the time being)
Only works for the S3 game_dll.
In order to get this to work: you must set 'old_gather_props' to nun-null and (for certain maps) perform the patch to prevent the frustum culling code to deref a bad pointer (see command 'opcodes test').
In 'datacache/mdlcache.cpp' the function 'CMDLCache::FindMDL' attempts to find 'mdl/error.rmdl' and assigns the studiohdr and handle to the members of CMDLFallback.
In 'CMDLCache::FindUncachedMDL' we check if a model exists, if a model does not exist, we replace the studiohdr with the one of error.rmdl we stored in the CMDLFallback structure.
This does actually work (on the dedicated server it doesn't crash at all!), but on the client it crashes when trying to gather props (right before rendering), setting the ConVar* 'old_gather_props' does interesting things (check IDA around this ConVar*). setting this to 1 causes it to crash in another CMDLCache method when trying to deref something in the global cache pool.
This method is easy to rebuild. I will do this soon and attempt to return error.rmdl parts from here as well if results are null (this might actually just work).
Leaving 'old_gather_props' to 0 causes it to crash in the middle of the function which is supposed to gather the props the 'new' way.
The gather props functions are kind of daunting
NOTE: Currently only confirmed to work somewhat properly on the dedicated server for prop_static. prop_dynamic is unconfirmed. And (almost?) works on the client.
This ConVar governs the use of encryption on game packets.
Also removed 'net_toggletrace' ConCommand and added 'net_tracePayload' ConVar as we can no longer hook on-demand as we bound the encryption parameter of the function to a ConVar.
* Added new function to CMemory allowing you to hook a virtual method from a virtual method table.
* Added SVC_Print Class
* Hooked SVC_Print::Process and print the messages the server sends.
*!! Still needs verification for earlier seasons.
* 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.
Fixed problem where in certain cases input doesn't get compiled at all.
Fixed problem where quote marks don't get passed correctly to the execute wrapper function.
problems:
passing non-string object as reference to constructor.
using CCommand::Arg(index) seems to 'strip' quote marks from the actual buffer.
Moved every pattern to IDetour interface. This allows for debugging patterns scans more easily, and create threads during pattern searching (Operation is now fired in APIENTRY).
Also cleaned up some unused code/extraneous comments.
Slightly increased performance by purging duplicate patterns.
Made variable search less dependent from other results (except if pattern-to-scan results is within the same header)
The game doesn't require a CPU with AVX2 instructions, our SDK did because of a mistake (I left this compiler flag in after debugging the SDK, and never removed it).
Bit shift operations use the SHLX instructions instead of the widely supported SHL instructions when this flag is issued.
* Renamed 'r5apexsdkd64.dll' to 'gamesdk.dll'.
* Added required dedicated parameters to code instead.
* Bug fixes around CCommandLine class (fixed misaligned VTable indexes).
* SDK now supports being directly launched by the game executable.
The SDK launcher will pass '-launcher' to the game, which indicated its being launched by the launcher. If the game does not receive '-launcher', it assumes its being launched directly from the game executable, which will instead load 'startup_(dedi_)default.cfg'.
The sdk dll's are now added to the game's IAT by their dummy exports allowing for them to be loaded when the exe is loaded (the dll's do everything on init).
* Improve ConVar class (fixed several bugs).
* Hook CEngineAPI::ModInit() and set m_bRestrictServerCommands from there.
* Disable unused ConVar's and purge unused ConCommands in CEngineAPI::ModInit() for dedicated.
* Small relocation of malloc related signatures.
