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.
Properly implement the ConCommandBase and ConCommand classes so we could statically construct all ConCommand objects in the global scope of each translation unit, this way we don't need to put them in a global file and deal with preprocessor directives to compile then in/out for certain projects.
Avoid heap memory allocation and a level of indirection. This allows the compiler to optimize the program even more. No logic has been changed in this patch.
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.
There have been reports of hit registration issues, this is most likely caused by the clamping system to mitigate an exploit. Put behind a convar and disabled for now until debugged.
The runtime checksum is now also written to the file, as any changes to the info node entities will cause this checksum to change, and therefore we should warn the user that the file needs to be rebuilt. The NavMesh CRC is now written at the END of the AIN file, and only checked if a NavMesh is present for that particular level. The same warning gets printed if this checksum mismatches as the user should rebuilt it.
NOTE: the NavMesh checks are custom and are not part of the official AIN file structure of this game. This is added as the NavMeshes are frequently rebuilt.
Cluster links were written with an additional padding as the struct is 11 in size, so it gets padded to 12. Cluster links now get correctly written to the disk.
Fixed writing of:
- Path nodes
- Node links
- Path clusters
- Cluster links
The previous globals 'g_pppAiNodeClusters' and 'g_pppAiNodeClusterLinks' were of type CUtlVector. These have been retyped and renamed accordingly.
Also mapped the CAI_Cluster class out slightly more.
Rebuild of path clusters and cluster links are still not correct; parsing a file in from r2, results in a different file on the disk, at the very offset the clusters are being written in (one field is off, this will be investigated soon).
Client's clock could be behind or ahead of the server's, take this into account. Note that this code has been tested over night and only had a few hits when new baseline snapshots were applied on the server, or when there was a clock drift. It still requires an actual playtest with several players on low and high latency to determine if this is even needed.
- Check and clamp if commandTime is above serverTime (too far in future).
- Check commandTime delta before checking if above serverTime or below lastCommandTime.
- Make sure cmdTime is never lower than last.
- Make sure delta doesn't exceed maxUnlag.
- Make sure latency gets clamped to maxUnlag (clamp appears to be missing in the engine).
- Only check for cmdTime if we are not discarding the cmd; previously, already processed queued cmd's got checked before being discarded.
Temporary lag compensation exploit fix by clamping the difference. Exploiter could carefully control the detonation time of a grenade, or alter the ability cool downs by altering the 'CUserCmd::command_time' field before sending it up.
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.
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.
Member offset for 'm_bGamePaused' did not align with the executable, moving the member 'm_hPlayerViewEntity' before the first bool in this row results in correct code generation (also aligns properly in the disassembly of the game's code).
Rebuild of the 'CServerGameClients::ProcessUserCmds' and 'CPlayer::ProcessUserCmds' methods. The rebuild is pretty much identical to the original implementation, but with additional checks for the number of commands, and total commands in 'CServerGameClients::ProcessUserCmds'. In the future, additional clamps and checks between CPlayer and the recv'd UserCMD should be incorporated in these functions.
Global 'direct' usage of 'MemAllocSingleton()' has been jettisoned. Where possible, smart pointers were used instead. During the refactor, the following bugs were addressed and fixed:
- The virtual destructor of 'CCVarIteratorInternal' was NOT called on destruction.
- Class function 'KeyValues::MakeCopy' did NOT calculate the buffer size of the wide string correctly, the original calculation was 'len+1*sizeof(wchar_t)', but should've been '(len+1)*sizeof(wchar_t)'.
Some other code changes include:
- Tier0 include 'memstd.h' has been moved above all thirdparty includes, to make sure the memalloc functions get shadowed with ours in third party libraries as well.
- RPak file paths string literals are now defines.
- 'DestroyOverlay' has been refactored to match the assembly of the game.
Set the persistence fields to 'ready' in 'CClient::ActivatePlayer', before executing the rest of the function. Previously, it was set in 'CVEngineServer::PersistenceAvailable', but this is too late. The function 'FairFight_Init' was actually 'CClient::ActivatePlayer', and thus it has been moved to the correct file, and the old file defining it previously has been removed.
