Game will check scripts/levels/mapname.json and load all rpaks in the rpak field.
Game now also unloads pak files loaded by the SDK preventing crashes and unnecessary memory usage.
VPK's and STBSP's are planned to be added as well.
* Added ability to invert rect to calculate offsets from bottom/right as well so debug text doesn't get out of view, or obstruct view when window is resized.
* Added Con_NPrintf() hook which shows detailed systems running times and VGUI panel debug information.
* Partially rebuild CGlobalVarsBase and CGlobalVars struct.
* Partially implement BuildAINFile (disk builder) written by BobTheBob9. All that needs to be found are the addresses/offsets for 'pUnkStruct0Count' and 'pUnkLinkStruct1Count' (see ai_node.h). I didn't have time for it yet.
* Patch call which restarts the engine once AIN file has been build (so it doesn't get cleared from memory).
* Temporarily patch write operation in 'Detours_LevelInit()' which writes out of scope since the navmesh structure is misaligned somewhere still with a few bytes.
NOTE: 'CAI_NetworkBuilder::BuildFile()' is for now commented out until the 2 other structs are found in the game dll. Once found then we could start fixing the struct offsets and hope it works as-is.
* Add CServerGameDLL interface to SDK (unfinished)
* Inline all CHostState members. Calling discrete member functions will result in a corrupt stack. It also alters with the VTable layout in the engine since we assign our SDK instance directly to it. Forcing everything to be inline (like the assembled counterpart within the executable itself) will ensure no virtual calls will get created and misalign the base VTable.
* Patch SQVM_CompileError to call SQVM_Error with the severity flag set to false (0 = do not terminate process, 1 is terminate process).
* Add Cbuf_AddText and Cbuf_Execute signatures.
* Remove additional VGui stuff from dedicated statemachine.
* Move signatures to their respective headers.
* De-inline 'CHostState::FrameUpdate()'
* Ported al new patters to GAMEDLL_S1, CEngine still recreation needs extra work
* Load server VPK's instead of client VPK's on standalone servers
* Dynamically search for 'g_bDedicated' global boolean instead of hardcoded address
* Add 'PatchString' to memory class
* IConsole overlay now clears the oldest log entries to stay under the vector limit instead of clearing the whole vector.
* IConsole code cleanup.
* IBrowser code cleanup, reordered class methods.
* Use ConVar utilities to get/set values for strings in IBrowser and IConsole.
* New ConVar's for RUI console overlay to tweak colors.
For some reason the same byte pattern wasn't found in the miles dll for the S3 game, even though they where identical. Changed the byte patterns to search for the last 2 bytes of the instruction as well and made the conditional jmp instructions, unconditional for making sure mileswin64.dll doesn't close the process when a debugger is found.
* Since the material mode is set to '2', all of the render loops and shader loading functions are no longer called. These have all been removed.
* Added description for patches that missed them
* Traced root caller/cause for certain patches to skip even more unnecessary code and save more memory.
The instruction at 'CalcPropStaticFrustumCull' [0x14028F3B0 + 0x5C7] moves RSP + 0x70 into the R13 register.
RSP + 0x70 seems to contain a pointer to collission data for that particular prop model.
When running NoShaderApi() and passing the dedicated server the '-noshaderapi' command line parameter, RSP + 0x70 will be a nullptr.
This has to be fixed to have prop static collissions on the server.
The approach could likely be performed better, however this is a multithreaded operation and isn't very easy to debug. So far this allowed the server to start and change to every level. The root cause has to be identified when the server is stable
* Codebase restructured to SourceSDK codebase style and .cpp/.h assertion paths in the game executable.
* Document most functions with valve style 'Purpose' blocks.
* Rename variables to match the rest of the codebase and Valve's naming convention.
* Dedicated DLL and the SDKLauncher now share the same codebase as the DevSDK.
* Obtain globals or pointers directly instead of waiting for runtime initialized data.
* Dynamically search for all functions and globals (this doesn't count for dedicated yet!).
* Initialize most in-SDK variables.
* Move certain prints and other utilities under ConVars to reduce verbosity and increase performance.
* Print all pattern scan results through a virtual function to make it easier to add and debug new patterns in the future.
* Type global var pointers appropriately if class or type is known and implemented.
* Forward declare 'CClient' class to avoid having 2 'g_pClient' copies.
* Add IDA's pseudo definitions for easier prototyping with decompiled assembly code.
* RPAK decompress Command callback implementation.
* Load decompressed RPaks from 'paks\Win32\' overriding the ones in 'paks\Win64\' (the decompress callback will automatically fix the header and write it to 'paks\Win32\').
* VPK decompress Command callback implementation.
* Move CRC32 ands Adler32 to implementation files.
* Server will print out more details about the connecting client.
* Upgrade ImGui lib to v1.86.
* Don't compile id3dx.h for dedicated.
* Don't compile id3dx.cpp for dedicated
* Implement DevMsg print function allowing to print information to the in-game VGUI/RUI console overlay, ImGui console overlay and the external windows console
* Fixed bug where the Error function would not properly terminate the process when an error is called. This caused access violations for critical/non-recoverable errors.
* Fixed bug where the game would crash if the console or server browser was enabled while the game was still starting up.
* Several bug fixes for the dedicated server (warning: dedicated is still considered work-in-progress!).
