Fully implemented ConVar class so we could statically construct all SDK convars, this avoids a level of indirection, and allows for creating ConVar's everywhere in the project.
This patch also removed the settings tab of the ImGui server browser, as it has threading issues, while it technically never caused a crash yet, it has been removed as there was no point keeping it vs the work required to make it thread save (it only managed 2 convars which are perfectly manageable through cfg's or the in-game console).
Also temporarily disabled the creation of ConVar's in the mod system due to a memory leak, we would allocate and register a convar based on details parsed out of a mod file definition, but never unregister and free it.
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.
Utilize the new IDetour::DetourSetup() code, IDetour::Attach and IDetour::Detach have been removed in favor of this (significantly reduces chance of user error). Since the template check happens in the idetour header, it is much more aggressive on type mismatches, such as a difference in parameter types, between the function and detour, will now raise a compile time error. As a result, some type mismatches have been fixed in this commit as well.
- Set character set to multi-byte (this is because the game is also build with it).
- Utility function 'FileExists' now takes a raw string pointer, this avoids having to construct a fs::path each time its getting called (which is quite a lot!).
- Performed overall cleanup to code containing logic to override load paths. Mostly removing unnecessary copy constructions.
Only certain lumps can be cached; see switch case in 'IsLumpIdxCachable'. Attempting to load anything else from cache results in a code crash or invalid data.
This commit adds support for loading cubemap lumps from the disk, several patches and hooks had to be implemented to make this work. Since the game was trying to read the pakfile lump from the BSP file (even when absent), it would read EOF (heavily reduces down map loading performance).
* All libraries have been isolated from each other, and build into separate artifacts.
* Project has been restructured to support isolating libraries.
* CCrashHandler now calls a callback on crash (setup from core/dllmain.cpp, this can be setup in any way for any project. This callback is getting called when the apllication crashes. Useful for flushing buffers before closing handles to logging files for example).
* Tier0 'CoreMsgV' function now calls a callback sink, which could be set by the user (currently setup to the SDK's internal logger in core/dllmain.cpp).
TODO:
* Add a batch file to autogenerate all projects.
* Add support for dedicated server.
* Add support for client dll.
Bugs:
* Game crashes on the title screen after the UI script compiler has finished (root cause unknown).
* Curl error messages are getting logged twice for the dedicated server due to the removal of all "DEDICATED" preprocessor directives to support isolating projects. This has to be fixed properly!
Changed all loggers to use the internal 'CoreMsg/CoreMsgV' functions. Significantly reduced duplicate code and CPU time. Code is also much more robust.
* Code now only acquires mutex lock when the actual logging part takes place.
* Code now only checks and strip ANSI rows if its enabled to begin with.
* Code now supports setting log levels, which ultimately could be tweaked with a cvar.
* Changed logger and file names to be more readable.
TODO:
* The RCON protocol has to be modified to accommodate these changes.
Start of refactoring entire logging system. This refactor should remove all duplicate code across all loggers. The logic behind DevMsg, Warning and Error has now been successfully refactored into a single helper function.
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.
* Promoted size types in CUtlBuffer to int64.
* Fixed bug where CUtlBuffer::GetPtr returns a 64bit pointer that was promoted from a 32bit integral type.
* Use int64/size_t for anything strlen, pointer subtraction, etc..
* Removed invalid structure alignment declarations.
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.
* Log all mounted/unmounted VPK files.
* Add command for unmounting a VPK file.
* Increased logging buffer size to 4096 for all loggers that weren't updated to this yet.
* 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.
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.
CConsole now uses a dedicated class for logging text (modified CTextEditor class (CTextLogger)). The class uses an ImDraw list with a character vector to draw the text.
Text could be selected by double click (word), triple click (line), a selection by dragging the cursor, or everything with 'ctrl + a'.
g_pFullFileSystem is a pointer to g_pFileSystem_Stdio in the compiled module.
Inherit CBaseFileSystem for CFileSystem_Stdio (second VFTable pointer).
Additional cleanup.
* Added vftable interface for 'IFileSystem::RemoveSearchPath'.
* Added hook for 'CBaseFileSystem::AddSearchPath'.
* Added hook for 'CBaseFileSystem::RemoveSearchPath'.
* Added method in KeyValues for loading a KV file and parsing it via the game exe (loads from cache, vpk and disk).
* Added method in KeyValues to parse GameInfo.txt when the engine loads this.
* Added proper pointer to g_pFileSystem_Stdio.
* Renamed existing one to g_pFullFileSystem (correct name).
* Obtain g_pFileSystem from the same constructor as g_pFileSystem_Stdio.
Add '-nodiscord' and '-nobakedparticles' to launch params for dedicated.
Add hook for 'MemAlloc_Internal()'.
Rename loggers to be more consistent with naming.
Revert omitting frame pointers.
* Heavily reduced string compares for coloring logs (the left overs require a dedicated hook, this is for the future)
The new method uses a ImVec 4 constant containing the color obtained via a switch case by context, this is then out into the new CConLog structure where the loop in the console will now gather the colors directly from.
Error/Warning use a single constant.
* Fixed bugs in several log locations where the ostringstream was cleared before the emission causing double logs.
* Added global log mutex to log wrappers that lacked those.
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)
* Added 2 new FileSystem pointers with new features in their classes.
* Register all factory instances created by the GameDLL in the SDK.
* Added new command 'fs_mount_vpk' to mount a specified VPK file.
* Renamed 'fs_decompress_pak' to 'fs_unpack_vpk'.
* Some renaming of Factory and VPK types.
* Some light optimizations/cleanup.
