The KeyValues class belongs here. Also reimplemented most loading methods for KeyValues, and adjusted the VPK building code to account for it. Pointers to the engine's implementation of KeyValues have been moved to a separate header ('keyvalues_iface.h'), as this allows external tools code to utilize the standalone KeyValues class implementation. Playlist utilities are completely separated from the KeyValues header; these have nothing to do with KeyValues other than manipulating a global KeyValues object for the playlists, and thus have been named as such and moved to rtech/playlists.
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.
DrawImGui should be called BEFORE ID3D11DeviceContext::ClearRenderTargetView() or ID3D11DeviceContext::End(). Moved drawing code to SpinPresent which is just before the clear/end calls are being made. Console now draws in the 4:3/5:4 aspect ratio video modes.
Testing revealed better latency reduction when moved directly here as we also take into account the additional buffy copy's the game does in SpinPresent, our new render thread frame limiter and and ImGui. The difference is very large when the render thread frame limiter is used. The code still passes NVIDIA's reflex testing utility after this patch.
The first pointer was a pointing to a pointer to g_MaterialSystem. The new pointer points directly to g_MaterialSystem. Also added CMaterialSystem::GetCurrentFrameCount() for g_FrameNum.
Moved adapter vendor check to its own func, added a global which could be used to fully disable the low latency system. Also added groundwork for the (future) PCL stats implementation.
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.
Hook 'CMaterialSystem::Init()', and only load the 'startup.rpak' file, as that's all we need. This pak file might also not even be needed on the server, but removing this requires rebuilding 'common_early.rpak' to drop all texture/material assets and their references. The dedicated server is now also linked to a newly added 'No-DirectX' version of the materialsystem for patching.
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.
Previously, it was all controlled from the global init (applied to all projects), but some projects need different options. With these changes, you can disable the common options applied in the 'add_module' macro, and set your own if desired.
Added all public headers to CMake projects, also moved some files around in the public directory. Translation units have been moved to the libraries that were responsible for implementing them, as this game is monolithic.
Treat them as errors globally. Most of the time a warning is a bug, or problem in code that could be solved in a different (better) manner. Thirdparty code have this disabled. The warnings as errors option can be globally disabled through the CMake GUI, but this is not recommended.
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.
Use the 'add_module' macro to add modules without creating duplicate code. This macro also takes a reuse PCH as parameter, so modules that need a precompiled header, could reuse those from different targets that compile them. This commit also restructures the group order of the generated solution files for easier code navigation.
* 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!
This fixes the exceptions that were caused by loading ported bsps with replaced models
CStaticProp::Init was using static prop lump data to request non-existent skins due to the replaced models, causing invalid material pointers to be fetched.
When encountered, these skins will be forced to 0 and an error will be printed.
Ideally these issues are fixed from within the bsp file before they are shipped.
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 is required as we still have a very hacky approach for running 'custom' BSP files. Even though we are pretty much ready to move over the proper approach, we haven't been able to update all files yet. This is kept in place but will have to be deprecated and removed among with the MaterialSystem hack before the next release.
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 behavior has been changed; when a material is missing and bComplain is false, nothing gets printed to the console unless 'mat_alwaysComplain' is nonzero.
