- Still need explanations for Portal tiles
SHA256 was chosen because it is reasonably standard, the file names
don't explode in length (this rules out SHA512) and it is supported by
basically all versions of OpenSSL (this rules out SHA512/256 and SHA3).
The protocol is changed in a backward compatible way: The supporting
server sends the SHA256 corresponding to the map in the `MAP_DETAILS`
message prior to sending the `MAP_CHANGE` message. The client saves the
SHA256 obtained from the `MAP_DETAILS` message until the next
`MAP_CHANGE` message.
For servers not supporting this protocol, the client falls back to
simply opening maps like in the previous scheme.
Remove the `map_version` tool, it is not being used and would have been
a little bit effort to update.
Use the OpenSSL implementation of SHA256 if it is supported, otherwise
fall back to a public domain one.
Fix#1127.
This is done by HTTP POSTing to a location specified by
`sv_modhelp_url`. We also provide a `src/modhelp/server.py` which can
use theses POSTs to forward them to Discord servers.
The POST contains a JSON object payload, with the keys `"port"` which
contains the server port, `"player_id"` which contains the calling
player's client ID, `"player_name"` which contains the calling player's
nick and `"message"` which is the user-specified message.
Make JSON-escaping function public, add tests and fix bugs uncovered by
these tests.
Supersedes #1129.
This uses the Unicode confusable data together with judging how close
two strings are by using the Levenshtein distance.
Adds the commands `name_ban`, `name_unban` and `name_bans`. Kicks
players who join using a banned name and doesn't allow ingame players to
change their names to the banned ones.
Our build system used to put generated files into `src/game/generated`,
now it's using `${PROJECT_BUILD_DIR}/src/game/generated`. Prefer the
ones in `${PROJECT_BUILD_DIR}/src/game/generated`.
947: Add support for extra chunks in teehistorian r=Learath2 a=heinrich5991
This allows to add rarely-used chunks without increasing the file format
version.
978: Disable warnings for GTest r=Learath2 a=heinrich5991
Warnings for GTest broke the build because GTest turns warnings into
errors, which is undesirable if GTest is just used as a dependency.

941: Add cross-compiled DMG archives r=Learath2 a=heinrich5991
Currently they only contain the client and the archives are a lot larger
than the current release artifacts.
953: Overhauled job system r=Learath2 a=heinrich5991
The engine now takes `std::shared_ptr<IJob>`, this will ensure the
appropriate lifetime of the given parameters, it also allows for proper
destruction. Remove the now obsolete `IFetcher` interface and `CFetcher`
class.
Also adds some locks to `CUpdater`, previously it didn't have any locks
at all.
869: Complete rework of the ghost and race recorder r=Learath2 a=Redix
This PR fixes a lot of issues with the ghost and race recorder, introduces a new ghost file format and implements some pretty useful features.
**A quick overview:**
- When you cross the start line multiple times, both (ghost and recorder) will only restart if it is a non-solo server
- If available, both will use the race timer to recognize the start instead of searching for the start line
- Fastcap support for both
- The recorder immediately starts when the Tee spawns, so the preparation steps (which are quite important for speedruns) will be included in the demo. If you do not cross the start-line within 20 seconds, it will stop the demo until you really start.
- Better ghost menu (colors, reloading, deleting and saving ghosts)
- The ghosts are more resistant against lags (old ones were sometimes completely useless due to small lags)
- New ghosts files are significantly smaller
- Cleanup, bugfixes..
**About the new ghost format (version 4/5):**
This format is used by Teerace for over a year now. The code for handling the binary files was moved to the engine. It includes an auto updater which creates a backup of all ghosts and converts them to the new format afterwards. The major differences from the format used by DDNet right now (version 2), are the ability to store multiple types of data, the usage of delta-encoding and a more portable header.
For whatever reason, the ghost stores values for every predicted tick, but without tick information, so lost snapshots can make them unusable. The new code uses the original values from the snapshots including ticks but it can also handle the old ones without. Since hardly any server uses the high bandwidth option this practically reduces the file size.
Like the demo recorder the ghost recorder directly stores the data to a file (every 50 snapshots) instead of writing the whole file at the end of the race. Indeed this can be changed with only a few lines if the old behavior is preferred.
The updater can handle version 2 (DDNet) and 3 (old teerace format, only slightly different from version 2) files. The updating already happens when the files are scanned for generating the list in the menu and not only when you activate them. The change from version 4 to 5 was only needed due to a bug in the implementation, the ghost loader can read both.
Some numbers about the file size: (map: hotrun, both about 30 seconds)
- Old ghost: 30.4 kB (converted: 10.7 kB)
- New ghost: 5.4 kB
**One thing about the race recorder:**
The old implementation compared the new file only with the first file it found for the particular map. The new one compares with all related demos and deletes them possibly, so that only the best demo is left. Since DDNet can also store the demos without name, this might also delete demos from other players, that you might have in your directory.
To prevent this I at least check whether the demo contains the player name if `cl_demo_name` is on.
In my opinion the better solution would be to remove `cl_demo_name` and always use the player name.
teehistorian records all inputs from the players as well as the player
positions in each tick. It stores this info in a highly compressible
output format (I've achived 5x compression using xz or bz2).
On Linux, `install` installs DDNet into the normal file system (root
rights required).
`package` tries to create an archive similar to today's release archives
and `package_source` tries to create a source archive similar to today's
source archives.
- Single json file containing all information for the client
- Fetched from https://info.ddnet.tw/info?name=deen
- Replaces versionsrv, news, ddnet-maps.json and ddnet-ranks.json
- Servers are sorted by most popular ones for respective player
- Always stays < 100 ms response time, compared to occasional 50 s for
old ddnet-ranks.json
Also annotate `dbg_msg`, `str_format` and `str_timestamp_ex` so that the
compiler can determine whether the format strings are correct.
Fix the compiler warnings generated by these extra warnings -- some of
them were security issues.
This system can easily be extended by independent authors without
collisions, something the old system with plain increasing integers did
not allow.
Do this by utilizing the previously unused message code `NETMSG_NULL`
which has a value of 0.
This works for engine and game messages, snapshot items and events.
