Simplify the usage of datafile reader and writer by adding utility functions to read and write zero-terminated UTF-8 strings.
Improve validation of string data read from datafiles. It is ensure that string data is null-terminated, has no internal NUL-characters and is valid UTF-8.
Fix loading of external sounds in the editor. The wrong path variable was being used, so the sound files would not be loaded from correct folder.
Add tests for new datafile reader/writer functions.
When `IMap::Load` fails, other components will continue to use the old map. However, if `IMap::Load` failed after the map was already successfully read with the datafile reader then other components kept their pointers to the old, invalid datafile reader items and data, causing random crashes in collision code. This is fixed by using a separate datafile reader to read the new map and only applying the datafile reader globally when loading was entirely successfully.
An error message is added for the case that a map has an unsupported version, which is currently the only case where a map can fail to load after the datafile was read successfully.
In particular, the block maps `blmapPepe`, `blmapV5` and `blmapDT-UPTU` did not have a version map item and were fixed separately.
Closes#7218. Regression from #5737.
The pixel size (bytes per pixel) always has to be 4 for the `Dilate` function to work correctly. This is already checked before calling the function, so the redundant argument which is always `4` can be removed.
The wrong color channel count was being used for loading images that use an indexed color palette, which was causing the loading to fail with the error "bytes in row incorrect". Now the correct color channel count is retrieved using the libpng API.
Closes#7157.
Use config manager to reset `ui_page` to the default, instead of using `CMenus::PAGE_DDNET` directly (which is the default).
Check current type of serverbrowser instead of checking the current `ui_page` against `CMenus::PAGE_DDNET` and `CMenus::PAGE_KOG`.
Using `dbg_stress 1` now only does the following (in debug build):
- Randomly send inputs.
- Randomly send chat messages.
- Randomly connect/disconnect to server configured with `dbg_stress_server` (`localhost` by default).
Previously it also did the following, which is not useful for this debugging feature and only complicates the code unnecessarily:
- Cause images and sounds not to be loaded.
- Render only every tenth frame.
- Always use inactive graphics refresh rate.
Instead of keeping track of a permanently empty `CSnapshot` object in client and server separately, add `CSnapshot::EmptySnapshot` to access a singleton empty `CSnapshot`.
Mark pointer parameters of snapshot functions as `const` when possible.
Simplify the handling of free texture indices by using `-1` only for indices which are currently in use, whereas the size of the vector is now used to indicate the last free index. Otherwise the assertions incorrectly detect the last texture index always being in use because `-1` was used for both states.
Previously, if the demo header strings did not contain zero-termination, the client would render the strings and any following non-zero memory from the demo header.
Now, demos will not be loaded, if any string in the header is not zero-terminated or not valid UTF-8.
When using `auth_remove`, the key indices for the default helper, mod and admin passwords were not properly adjusted, causing the wrong passwords to be used for the username-less logins.
The key indices for connected clients were also not properly adjusted, causing the wrong identity to be shown for currently authenticated clients when using the `status` command.
Closes#6427.
Most variables used in the sound engine were static globals, as they are used in the static sound mixing function. The global variables are replaced by member variables, by passing the sound interface as user-data for the SDL mixing callback. The `Mix` function is made a public member function of `ISound` instead of being exposed using `ISoundMixFunc GetSoundMixFunc()`.
This allows to remove the direct dependency of the engine sound on the engine video, by instead passing the sound mixing function as a lambda to the engine video in the engine client.
The old WavPack reader function interface does support passing a user-data pointer to the callback function, so global variables are still used here.
