Full rebuild of assembled function "CEngineAPI::SetStartupInfo". The assembly seems to match original function after rebuild. Does NOT support S1 yet, because TRACEINIT is inline in S1.
* Log all mounted/unmounted VPK files.
* Add command for unmounting a VPK file.
* Increased logging buffer size to 4096 for all loggers that weren't updated to this yet.
* Check if server is active in command callback before attempting to hot swap.
* Hook 'v_Detour_LevelInit', and log NavMeshes that failed to load.
* Split free/destroy logic into separate function.
* Created constants for NavMesh and AI Network paths/extensions.
* Added performance profiler for hot swap logic in command callback.
* Renamed "navmesh_reload" to "navmesh_hotswap".
* "navmesh_hotswap" is now development only.
The new command 'navmesh_reload' hot swaps the current NavMesh for all hulls in memory, with that of the 'new' files on the disk. The memory of the old NavMesh gets freed and destroyed.
* Added validity checks for player names, they must be UTF-8 encoded, else game clients will crash attempting to set non-UTF-8 player names in RUI.
* CServer::RejectConnection now takes a 'v_netadr_t*', previously it was 'user_creds_s*', which worked as 'v_netadr_t' is the first member in 'user_creds_s'.
* Programmer must now manually pass a character buffer to 'v_net_adr::GetAddress(...)'.
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.
* Move all default assignments to constructor.
* Rename cvar 'con_max_size_logvector' to 'con_max_lines'.
* Rename cvar 'con_max_size_history' to 'con_max_history'.
* Use array indexes instead of hardcoding context prefixes.
* Added netcon context prefix to help legend.
* Added public method to obtain history as string vector.
* Added public method to clear history.
* Internal CConsole::AddLog no longer locks the mutex.
* CConsole::LoadFlagIcons accesses resource vector by reference.
* Implemented "HELP", "HISTORY" and "CLEAR" as real console commands: "con_help", "con_history", "con_clearlines".
* Added a new command "con_clearhistory" (clears the dev console submission history).
* Commented "ImGui::SetItemDefaultFocus()", this seems to somewhat fix the issue where the input field does not claim focus on console invocation.
* Added command "con_removeline" (removes lines from start to end index).
The ConVar 'bhit_abs_origin' will now draw a sphere at the predicted abs origin of the entity upon hit. This is useful for debugging lag compensation on the server (white star).
If the client happens to exceed the quota by accident, the client will not be disconnected. This is a quality of life change. Client could still increase cl_quota_stringCmdsPerSecond to allow more submissions per second, or disabling the throttle entirely by setting cl_quota_stringCmdsPerSecond to 0.
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.
Client's can run string commands on the server with no rate limit. This means when you run 50k+ commands that are unknown, or spam 30k 'status' commands, you will be able to hang the server for 800/1200ms (15k/30kms if script printing to console is enabled!). Although the netchan processing budget system will kick you, the damage has already been done at this point. This change effectively breaks the ability to DOS the server from the client using networked string commands.
In easier words; binding 'status' to your mousewheel will get you kicked from the server, without hitching the server.
* Check if m_MessageHandler is removed before running limit test.
* Add warning DevMsg if client exceeds value.
* Default 'net_processTimeBudget' value to '200'.
Implement net message process budget (channel gets removed if value is exceeded).
Use 'net_processLimit' to enable the implementation on the server. It will get enabled by default after testing and some cleanup. This helps against people trying to slow the server down by spamming net messages with a higher rate, e.g. using 'bind "mousewheel_up" "status"'.
Everything marked '( !slower! )' could potentially slow the process down through usage or abuse (script prints could be abused as conhost is slow and bottlenecks the thread, they are by default only logged using SpdLog, which is very fast and won't cause a hitch even when you dump 2 live netchannels).
Removed extraneous 'FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE' flag. We disconnect clients using 'CClient::Disconnect(..)', relying on the client is useless without an anti-cheat and anti-tamper. Client can still use this to disconnect on its own though.
'migrateme' seemed useless as well, removed 'FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE'.
This makes all 'FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE' require 'FCVAR_DEVELOPMENTONLY' to be stripped, in order to execute without the '-devsdk' parameter (development launch arg),
This should allow users to host dedicated servers without looking back, as you should reload/restart a server every 3 hours (a full process restart is the most recommended option, but a 'soft' reload works like a charm most of the time).
* 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.
* Added more color coded flags to the console autocomplete window.
* Removed 'hidden' as FCVAR_HIDDEN is now enforced on the autocomplete window.
* force real-time CommandBase flags (previously compile-time).
* Fade notify text by a fixed amount regardless of the frame times.
* Implement Valve's 'lerping' animation for text when entries fade away and expire.
* Don't run/push/remove anything if 'con_drawnotify' is disabled.
* Fixed bug where multiple of the same entries get added to the global ban/refuse list.
* Fixed bug where we still use the client instance after deleting it in 'CBanSystem::BanListCheck()'.
* Load banlist at a later state (not at construction of class), this is needed for a future change of adapting the 'business' code to feature the game's FileSystem.
* CServer cleanup.
* More detailed ban messages (banned, added to refused list, removed from slot, etc..).
* Use localization key for banned message ("#Valve_Reject_Banned").
* Add const qualifiers to all CPylon methods.
Note:
* This commit requires changes on the master server, these changes are already performed, however the new master server isn't live yet until we publish the new release.
* 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..
