Heavy dedicated cleanup
* 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.

Use a separate executable for dedicated server
The dedicated server still has directx dll imports which will cause issues with ReShade or 3DMigoto, or trying to load it on a headless machine with no directx installed. The imports have to be cleared to avoid issues. The most convenient approach is to do this with a separate exe rather then patching it in runtime.

Fix collisions for headless dedicated server

Dedicated without ShaderApi and DirectX pre-alpha
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.
Note [Important]
This is not a cheat or hack. Do not attempt to use this on the latest version of the game
Apex
APEX Legends / R5 Server Engine research
- Detours-based Visual Studio project for hooking the game engine
R5Dev
Instructions are kinda outdated. Will be updated soon.
To use the vs project / engine hooking, here are some basic instructions:
- Build the solution
- or get the binaries from the releases page of this repo
- Copy
r5detours.dllandlauncher.exeto the apex game folder - Copy the unpacked version of
r5apex.exeover the original in your game folder - Run
launcher.exe
The game will pop a debug terminal, that will forward your commands directly to the in-game source console backend. SQVM prints are also enabled, and the hooks will attempt to load game vscripts out of platform\ relative from the game executable before falling back to the SearchPath's defined in GameInfo.txt or the in-memory VPK structures.
R5Net DISCLAIMER
When hosting to the Server Browser (R5Net) you will stream your IP to that database which will be stored there till you stop hosting the server.
This is NEEDED so you can even connect to other players servers.
There is a Checkbox that is by default disabled that allows you to stream to the server browser.
If you tick that and don't assign a password your server will be visible in the server browser.
But if you assign a password you will get a token as a response and a password and it won't be visible in the server browser.
People can join with that over the "Private Servers" button.
If you do that your IP will still be stored on the database till you stop hosting the server to ensure people can connect.
Alternative way is just to host the server without ticking the server browser checkbox and just give the people you want to connect the IP including the port.
TL;DR If you tick the server browser box in "Host Server" your IP will be stored till you close the server.
