Add parameter to `shell_execute` to either start the process in the foreground or background on Windows. Previously, all processes were started in the background, because this is desired when starting the server from the client. However, this causes the graphics initialization to fail when restarting the client after updating or with the `restart` command when using Vulkan with windowed and windowed fullscreen mode.
Closes#6578.
Render an additional "Reset filter" button below the "No servers match your filter criteria" message to make it more obvious for new players how to restore the original view of servers, especially when the filter tab is not currently selected.
The `bool AllowResizing` parameter is only passed to other `SetWindowParams` functions but never used in the end, as whether or not resizing is allowed is separately determined based on the value of the `int FullscreenMode` parameter.
Instead of cleaning the countries/types filters based on all available communities' countries/types, only consider the countries/types of currently selected communities. Ensure countries/types are always cleaned when updating the server browser filter in the UI. This fixes that countries/types which are not available for the selected communities were still affecting the server filtering, causing no servers to be shown in some cases.
Closes#7847.
To simplify the usage of the demo recorder, parameters are added to the `IDemoRecorder::Stop` function to control whether the demo file is removed or renamed when stopping the recording.
Ensure demo files of the replay recorder are always removed (except on crashes). The temporary replay demos were previously not removed when being disconnected from a server.
Fix auto demos being stopped and restarted when enabling replays in the settings menu. Now only the replay recorder is stopped/started when necessary.
Fix replay recorder being restarted when setting `cl_replay` variable with console without changing the value.
Remove unnecessary `CClient::m_ButtonRender` variable. Demo rendering is already stopped correctly when reaching the end of the demo without this additional variable.
Remove unused `CDemoRecorder::m_pMapData` variable.
Instead of leaking the m_MoveRestrictions to all classes which needs to
adjust the Character velocity, add a setter which takes into account those
restrictions.
The shotgun bug replication requires an access to the Velocity without the
restrictions applied (so we have to have this dirty setter).
Expose only *const* CCharacterCore to force the setters usage and prevent
incorrect write.
Ensure that the `CHttpRequest::OnCompletion` function has finished before updating the state which is visible to other threads. Otherwise, threads may try to access the result of a completed HTTP request, before the result has been initialized/updated in the `OnCompletion` function.
Fixes warning due to invalid texture width/height being shown for downloaded skins, because the texture was loaded before the image data was initialized. Closes#7818.
Regression from #7683. Before this, the `OnCompletion` function could also modify the HTTP request's state, which was used to check if loading the skin PNG failed. Instead of doing this, a separate check is added for the skin download task to check that the PNG was loaded successfully.
Use [virtual terminal processing](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-virtual-terminal-sequences) for Windows console output when possible, using the existing async logger. Fallback to the old Windows logger when virtual terminal processing is not available. Do not set any logger when there is no console/file/pipe to output to.
This adds support for 24 bit RGB colors using ANSI escape codes (when Terminal emulator supports it) instead of only supporting 16 fixed colors.
Use the existing async logger also on Windows by converting the console standard output handle to an IOHANDLE. Avoid converting console output to UTF-16 by changing the console output codepage to UTF-8 and outputting that directly. Overall, this reduces the time until the loading screen first appears when launching the client from the console on Windows by around 70%, from 80-100ms down to 25ms.
Add support for `NO_COLOR` environment variable also on Windows.
Use the async logger also for writing output to files and pipes instead of using a Windows specific implementation for this, to reduce lags when redirecting the standard output.
Closes#3925. The client/server will not freeze anymore when entering selection mode in the console because we are using the async logger on Windows now.
Closes#1108. We were already using AIO on Windows to write the logfile, which was not causing any known issues. We are now also using AIO with the async loggers for console/files/pipes on Windows.
On Windows, the result of the `localtime` function is thread-local, hence our uses of this function are already thread-safe.
On non-Windows, the `localtime` function is potentially not thread-safe, so the reentrant `localtime_r` function is used instead with a thread-local buffer for the result.
Closes#7788.
When handling door and laser entities, all 8 adjacent tiles are checked for laser modifier tiles. When handling laser entities, the 8 tiles one further out are also checked for laser modifier tiles. If either of those 16 tiles is outside the map bounds, an error message was printed and the tiles are ignored. The error message is removed because it's unnecessary and misleading. Placing entities near or on the map border is not known to cause any issues.
Closes#7759.
