VPK's could now be repacked with compression and multiple files. The output is identical to the input as far as currently tested (mp_rr_canyonlands_staging).
The 'fs_pack_vpk' allows compressing specific files into a VPK (compressed). This implementation has better compression ratio's then currently available VPK tools with compression (at the cost of speed).
The implementation is early, a directory iterator with a files for flags is planned soon to fully rebuild VPK's on-demand. A dedicated standalone program is also planned.
The output dir and archive formats should match 1:1 with the original game
Moved logging functions to dbg.h (tier0) and export them from the dll.
Added additional functions for checking bad pointers (debug only!).
Reduced output code size.
* Finished designer code for launcher gui.
* Basic implementation of setting flags for host launch option.
* Check in 'CHostState::LoadConfig' if -launcher is below 1.. if condition is met the cfg's will be executed from 'CHostState::LoadConfig'.
* Added 'StringIsDigit' utility.
* Mostly rebuild CServer structure.
* Partially rebuild CNetworkStringTable structure.
* Partially rebuild CNetworkStringTableContainer structure.
* Removed redundant patterns which are now covered in the data structure.
* RTech::GetPakLoadedInfo returns a reference now instead of a copy. Make sure to check the pointer is valid from now on if dealing with the returned pak entry.
* RTech::GetPakLoadedInfo now has a overloaded function that takes string as argument for searching an pak entry.
* new ConCommand pak_swap which has Pak_Swap_f as callback.
* Pak_Swap_f performs pak unload and then load again.
* pak_requestunload can now be used with pak name
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.
* Fixed bug where the address of g_pStaticPropMgr wasn't properly dereferenced and passed to function via its reference (engine addr).
* Fixed dword dereference.
Problems: engine still culls models improperly.
Fixed rare crash in CMDLCache when buffer itteration returns invalid pointer (not null!) for handle.
Made all variables and functions used by BuildPropStaticFrustumCullMap searched dynamically (these should also work on s0, s1 and s2, they are compared but at the moment untested).
TODO: Fix deref crash properly (see bsplib.cpp l291).
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).
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.
* 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.
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)
* 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.
* Dedicated SDK now supports ASLR enabled executables.
* Complete removal of CEngineClient on the dedicated server.
* Complete removal of gHLClient and g_pHLClient on the dedicated server.
* Performance improvements for the dedicated server frame loop.
* ConVar 'CVCallback_t' structure rebuild.
* Reduced overhead throughout SDK.
Migrating to this to initialize all patterns and prototypes in Systems_Init() instead.
This should make debugging missing/not found patterns easier and allow for opting out variable/constant search (some of these require other patterns to be found, thus resulting in seg faults..).
Also added check to detect if user has a eligible CPU to run this SDK.
The game requires SSE and SSE2 instruction sets. Our SDK requires this too due to the use of SSE intrinsics, so we cannot let the game handle this. We have to check it ourselves.
* Move most definitions to implementation file to avoid recompiling whole program for small changes
* Pass strings by reference for where possible.
* Split Module class to dedicated file.
* Add const qualifiers to all eligible methods for address/module class
* Some renaming
* Adapt codebase to new class to reduce rune-like code.
* Fixed several bugs where the global CClient pointer was used instead of the instance in question to issue bans and display information about a certain client in CBanSystem and Pylon.
* Upgraded CBanSystem and Pylon to use IPv6 instead (including IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses). This breaks all existing banlist files! All bans have to be re-issued or the existing file has to be updated to use IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses and renamed to 'banlist.json', and moved to the root of the 'platform' folder.
