Opening links and files with the `open_link` and `open_file` functions does not work on Android, as the `open_link` function uses `fork` which is not supported on Android. This also seems to cause a strange bug where client networking partially breaks. Currently, after trying to open any link, connecting to servers is not possible anymore but the server browser still works, with the connection getting stuck randomly in the connecting/loading state.
SDL implements URL opening, including of file URIs, with the `SDL_OpenURL` function for most systems including Android. However, using `SDL_OpenURL` for all systems has several downsides:
1. The `SDL_OpenURL` function is only available since SDL 2.0.14, in particular not for the Ubuntu 20 CI runner. Hence, we would either have to conditionally compile the link opening function to a null-implementation or fallback to using the existing `open_link` function.
2. We would be undoing some additional fixes in the `open_link` function for Windows, which are not included in the Windows implementation of `SDL_OpenURL`.
3. This would also replace the use of `open` on UNIX with `xdg-open`.
4. This would move the functionality to open links and files from the base to the engine client, so we could not have tools or the server potentially making use of this functionality in the future (e.g. open a folder for convenience).
Implementing link and file opening for Android ourselves is too much effort and potentially made even harder by SDL already managing all the unique JVM resources in the `SDLActivity`.
Therefore, the `SDL_OpenURL` function is only used for Android, which is always based on the latest SDL2 version. The original `open_link` functionality is kept for the other systems. For this purpose, the `IClient::ViewLink` and `ViewFile` functions are added to wrap `open_link` and `open_file` for the client and also reduce some duplicate code for error logging.
Unfortunately, testing also revealed that `SDL_OpenURL` does not currently support opening file URIs, at least not of files the internal storage location, which all the DDNet client's files would be located in. At least opening URLs works and neither breaks networking anymore.
Scoreboard title
- In teamplay, color the title background red/blue for the respective teams (like in 0.7).
- In teamplay, swap the score location for the blue team, so the scores line up in the center (like in 0.7).
- Use textrender ellipsis instead of cutting the title string manually and potentially creating broken UTF-8.
Game over title
- Render the game over message in the color of the winning team (or yellow in case of draws).
- Adjust size and spacing of the message to prevent overlap.
Player list
- Add player list size variant for 17-24 players with two columns of up to 12 players. This previously used the variant for 32 players.
Goals
- Use textrender for alignment and properly center the time limit goal.
- Change localization text from `Round` to `Round %d/%d` so the numbers and punctuation can be formatted more correctly in some languages (e.g. right-to-left languages, Korean, Chinese).
Spectators
- Render spectators title and spectators starting in the same line to use space more effectively.
- Render as many lines of spectators as fit instead of only 4 lines.
- Render a placeholder text at the end when there are more spectators than fit.
Refactoring
- Use correct class for `NETMSGTYPE_SV_RECORDLEGACY` instead of depending on the structs `CNetMsg_Sv_Record` and `CNetMsg_Sv_RecordLegacy` being identical.
- Use `CUIRect` and `DoLabel` when possible.
Add a question mark-button next to the x-button to open the Wiki page https://wiki.ddnet.org/wiki/Mapping in the default web browser. The link is localized so translators can replace it with the respective translated Wiki pages. The hotkey F1 is also added to activate this button.
Read the entire file into memory immediately when the line reader is initialized instead of using a fixed size buffer of size 32769, which leads to broken line reading for larger files (closes#8431).
Replace the `CLineReader::Init` function with the `CLineReader::OpenFile` function, which additionally checks whether the file contains any null bytes (indicates that the file is likely not a text file).
As the file will be read into memory entirely in the `OpenFile` function, is can also be closed immediately, since using the `io_read_all_str` function should ensure that nothing more can be read from the file. This also simplifies the usage of the `CLineReader` class, as manually closing the file is inconvenient and error-prone. In fact, the file handle for the `ddnet-serverlist-urls.cfg` file was previously not closed properly.
Benchmarking on Windows did not show any noticeable performance impact of this change both for smaller files (config and language files) and larger files (synthetic ~10 MiB files).
Let the `CLineReader::Get` function return `const char *` instead of `char *`, since users of this class should not modify the internal buffer. Also, since the entire file is read into memory now, the returned strings are now valid until the respective line reader object is destructed, instead of only until the `Get` function is called again. This simplifies the usage in some cases where all lines are handled, since additional temporary buffers are now unnecessary.
Remove the `IOFLAG_SKIP_BOM` flag from the `io_open` function, as this flag was only used together with the line reader. This was inconvenient to use, as any use of the `io_open` function specifically for line readers had to be used with `IOFLAG_SKIP_BOM`. Now, the line reader transparently skips the UTF-8 BOM internally. Skipping the UTF-8 BOM never worked with the `IStorage::ReadFileStr` function, because `io_length` is used in the `io_read_all` function, which rewinds the file position to before the UTF-8 BOM that was skipped by using `IOFLAG_SKIP_BOM`. In any case, as the `ReadFileStr` function is currently unused, this has/had no further effect. The respective test cases for `IOFLAG_SKIP_BOM` are removed.
Add more test cases for the `CLineReader` class. All test cases are checked both with and without the UTF-8 BOM. Additional tests with mixed new lines, empty lines with different new lines, and internal null bytes are added.
Consistently use the construct `while(const char *pLine = LineReader.Get())` to iterate over all lines of a line reader. In this case, the assignment inside the `while`-loop seems acceptable over the alternatives, e.g. `while(true)` with `break` or adding a function `CLineReader::ForAll(std::function<const char *> Consumer)`.
Add `sv_dnsbl_ban_reason` config variable with size 128 to specify the ban reason for `sv_dnsbl_ban`.
Increase the maximum size for ban reasons on the server from 64 to 128 to support this new config variable. Adjust buffer sizes for formatting ban messages accordingly.
Additionally, increase the size of the buffer for unpacking the connection closed message from 128 to 256. Due to this limitation, old clients will see truncated disconnect messages if the entire message is longer than 127, which can now happen with long ban reasons as the ban message additionally contains the duration (e.g. `You have been banned for 10 minutes (Reason)`).
Closes#8518.
Get start time as soon as possible and log time for gameclient initialization at the end of the `CGameClient::OnInit` function so this time measurement should cover the entire function.
Use `log_trace` and change spelling for consistency (`initialisation` -> `initialization`).
Avoid duplicate `Localize` calls while loading.
Start component counters at 1 instead of 0 since the value was always incremented by 1 before being used.
Extract variable `NumComponents` and also use it for the special loading message, so it should consistently be shown only for the first component (i.e. the last component being initialized) also when more components will be added.
Use `CUi::RenderProgressBar` function also for client loading, which means the filled progress bar background will also be rendered while loading.
Replace static variable `s_LastLoadRender` with member variable.
Encapsulate menu loading state in class `CLoadingState`.
