'Script_DestroySignalEntryListHead' is the last function to be called before 'init.nut' is loaded and parsed. Defining "DEVELOPER" with value of "developer" convar allows us to utilize this constant in 'init.nut'.
In this retail engine, "DEV" is always zero, except for scripts.rson. I think Respawn Entertainment defined this as zero for production builds under each context except the global one.. To fix this problem, we define a new constant named "DEVELOPER", change all references in scripts that where DEV (now R5DEV due to legacy reasons to mitigate this problem), to DEVELOPER. When the game is launched with -dev, anything within #if DEVELOPER with compiled, like the development behavior of DEV.
* Replaced the boolean 'fatal' parameter with a error code parameter, anything non-null will prompt a message (fatal) and terminate the process with given error code.
* Fixed bug where the global ostreamsink for spdlog did NOT get cleared in 'SQVM_PrintFunc' when cvar 'sq_showvmoutput' was < 3. Moved to global scope.
* Added error message for when detouring the process has failed, with the error code.
* Only call 'Plat_GetProcessUpTime()' once per log, (improves performance and fixes bug where the error message box would show a different time stamp than what is logged into the console or file).
* All TIER0 loggers only log to notify and console when the SDK engine has fully initialized and detoured all functions.
Fix defect where color logging for script error/warnings did not work for the in-game console, when color logging for external console was disabled.
This is the only reported SDK defect after 15K downloads!
* Only run '_DownloadPlaylists_f()' in the main thread, schedule for next frame if we aren't in the main thread. (this should fix crash cases related to disconnecting from the game).
* Locked read/write to CBrowser members (thread for obtaining the server list is detached, but once the 'slow' post operation in this thread is complete, mutex lock is acquired (locking the render thread if the browser is active) to set the string members of CBrowser, this operation is very fast as we only set the string and the color after the http post operation (this never caused a crash, but the behavior without any lock mechanism is technically undefined regardless).
* Obtain the host name dynamically from the ConVar 'pylon_matchmaking_hostname' (atomic operation). Initial approach was deleting the whole master server pointer just to construct a new httpclient object..
When fatal is set, the function will show a error dialogue, which will halt the process and close when the message is dismissed. Else we will end up in a crash.
* 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.
Renamed to EGlobalContext_t and used globally for all context types combined into one (required for rcon messages for example, as we do native and script messages, while also retaining colors).
This change prints script errors and their callstack to the console even when sq_showvmoutput < 2 (this avoids confusion when running a dedicated server and the server 'appears' to shutdown the game on its own. You could also check the script log files which are written to at all times, but having some indication is nice).
* Use responceid from server to determine in which context to log.
* Moved all script loggers from combined enums to minus instead (SERVER = -3, CLIENT = -2, UI = -1 SERVER_CODE = 0, etc), this makes it much easier to align stuff in combined systems such as the RUI logger or NetMsg().
* Color log networked RCON messages properly on the client.
* Added dedicated logger for all received RCON messages (net_console.log).
* Log commands submitted through in-game console (allows for easier debugging when going through log files).
* Implemented robust length-prefix framing logic for non-blocking sockets (previously used character sequences to determine length, but you cannot use character sequences on protocol buffers as its binary data. This logic should fix all problems regarding some commands not getting networked properly to the server and stuff not getting printed on the client).
* Increased buffer size to std::vector::max_size when netconsole is authenticated (MAX_NETCONSOLE_INPUT_LEN still remains enforced on accepted but not authenticated connections to prevent attackers from crashing the server).
* Process max 1024 bytes each recv buffer iteration.
* Additional optimizations and cleanup.
* Changing RCON passwords on the server now closes all connections and re-initializes the system.
* Fully mapped out VFTable interface for IConVar* (used for ConVar callbacks, see callback.cpp).
* Added working players/maxplayers fields for master server.
* Fixed popstylevar assert in CBrowser (SetStyleVar and the corresponding PopStyleVar where not within the same scope).
