Add `IJob::Abortable(bool)` function which jobs can call to specify whether they can be aborted. Jobs are not abortable per default. Abortable jobs may have their state set to `IJob::STATE_ABORTED` at any point if the job was aborted. The job state should be checked periodically in the `IJob::Run` function and the job should terminate at the earliest, safe opportunity when aborted. Scheduled jobs which are not abortable are guaranteed to fully complete before the job pool is shut down. However, if the job pool is already shutting down, no additional jobs will be enqueue anymore and abortable jobs will immediately be aborted.
In particular, the sound loading, community icon loading, master chooser and host lookup jobs are specified as being abortable. Conversely, the jobs saving replay demos, editor maps and screenshots are expected to finish before the client is shut down.
When the client is quitting/restarting, it will now disconnect from the current server first, before saving the config, to ensure that any actions that happen on disconnect (demo recorders being stopped etc.) happen first. The shutdown message is rendered before disconnecting and waiting for background jobs to finish.
The HTTP client is now initialized later during server launch, after the network initialization. Error handling is added and the server stops if the HTTP client could not be initialized, same as the client.
The `RunBlocking` functions are removed, as they are not used anymore after curl-multi was added.
The function `IJob::Status` is renamed to `State` and `IJob::STATE_PENDING` is renamed to `STATE_QUEUED` for consistency with naming of the HTTP client.
The member variables of the engine interface are encapsulated and the `jobs.h` include is removed from `engine.h`, which removes transitive includes of `system.h`.
Documentation for all job and job pool API is added.
Instead of preventing the client from quitting/restarting while a warning is shown in the menus, add warnings that should be shown after quitting/restarting (i.e. the warning when the config could not be saved) to a separate list and show these warnings using an OS message box after the client has been closed. Otherwise, the client is prevented from closing if a warning is shown without being automatically hidden, which causes the client to hang indefinitely in the CI.
The message boxes for warnings must be shown after the client has already been completely shutdown, otherwise the regular shutdown with the Vulkan backend crashes because showing the message box has already partially deinitialized the backend.
The quitting/restarting client state is now checked after updating the FIFO component, so quitting/restarting initiated via FIFO is effective immediately, although this should have little effect in practice.
For completeness, a log message is added also for the case that the config was saved successfully.
The GitHub CI seems to automatically confirm/disable OS message boxes, so they should not block workflows.
Add `CGameClient::RefreshSkins` function to refresh skins. This function reloads all skins by calling `CSkins::Refresh` and then notifies all gameclient components about the skins being refreshed by calling the new `CComponent::OnRefreshSkins` function, so the components can properly invalidate their current skin texture handles. The existing `RefindSkins` functions are changed to `OnRefreshSkins`.
Additionally, `OnRefreshSkins` is overridden in `CMenus` to set the flag so the skin list will be updated before it is rendered the next time, to fix the client crashing when changing skin related config variables via the console. Closes#7891.
By adding `CDataFileWriter::ECompressionLevel` to replace usage of zlib internal compression levels in the `CDataFileWriter` API.
Use `std::numeric_limits<int>::max()` instead of `INT_MAX` in one case where the latter was only declared by the transitive zlib include. The `limits` header is already included and its use is more fitting for C++ code.
Move all code for handling of config variables from console to config manager. The console no longer depends on the config manager, instead the config manager now depends on the console.
Add `struct`s to manage config variables of different types (int, color and string). The config manager now keeps a list of all config variables, so usage of the preprocessor can be avoided except for code to initially create all config variables. Additionally, a separate list of just the game config variables (config variables with `CFGFLAG_GAME`) is kept to optimize the `ResetGameSettings` function, as this function is called whenever connecting to a server and should be fast. Previously, this function was even less efficient because it preformed a linear search for every individual game config variable to find the respective command data.
Move console commands that opperate only on config variables (`reset`, `toggle` and `+toggle`) to config manager. Ensure that these commands only opperate on the desired config variables (client or server, respectively) by checking `IConsole::FlagMask`.
Add `IConfigManager::SetReadOnly` function to set/unset config variables as read-only instead of manually overriding the command handlers for the `sv_rescue` and `sv_test_cmds` config variables. This also fixes that read-only config variables could still be changed by using the `reset` command. A console message is now printed when trying to change a read-only config variable. Removing the special handling for these two config variables is additionally useful so the console does not need to keep a pointer to config values and manager.
Use a `CHeap` for the config variables, their help texts and the previous values of string config variables to avoid many separate allocations as well usage of static variables. Also use the heap to store the unknown commands instead of using `std::string`s.
Properly trigger command chain when resetting config variables with the `reset` command and when resetting game settings on map loading. Closes#7461.
Format default value for color variables as RGB/RGBA hex with dollar sign prefix. Closes#5523.
Add log message when using `reset` with a variable that does not exist. Use `log_error` instead of `dbg_msg` when saving config file fails.
Support unlimited number of config save callbacks instead of at most 16. The code also becomes more readable by using an `std::vector` instead of a fixed-size array and a separate num variable.
Consistently name `MACRO_CONFIG_*` parameters when declaring the macros.
Add `IConsole::CMDLINE_LENGTH` constant to represent the maximum length of the console input and thereby reduce usage of magic numbers for buffer sizes.
Make the title of warnings adjustable, with the default title being "Warning" to preserve existing code.
Make auto-hiding configurable, so the automatic closing of warning popups after 10 seconds can be toggled.
The player info snapshot item (`CNetObj_PlayerInfo`) has its own `m_ClientID` member variable in addition to the generic snapshot item ID. The snapshot item ID was only used to set `m_Snap.m_LocalClientID` but without being checked for invalid values. Now it is checked that both IDs are identical and only `m_ClientID` is used consistently.
The DDTeam colors were previously generated in HSL by taking the team index and multiplying it by 360/64° to calculate the hue, which results in team colors being evenly distributed over the entire color range like a rainbow. However, this causes colors of adjacent teams to be very similar and therefore hard to distinguish.
Now, the hue is calculated by multiplying the team index with the golden angle (~137.50776°) and taking the modulo 360° of that. Due to the properties of the golden angle, this can generate never repeating sequences of unique colors where the adjacent colors are very distinct.
Duplicate code is reduced by adding the `CGameClient::GetDDTeamColor` function.
Use `enum EImageFormat` type for image format literals and variables.
Add `PixelSize` function to get the number of bytes/color channels per pixel for a specified image format.
Remove unused store format argument of texture loading functions. All textures are automatically being stored as RGBA, so the argument was unused. Also remove the therefore unused `FORMAT_AUTO`.
Rename variables consistently to `PixelSize` and use `size_t`, instead of mixing different names like `BPP` and `ColorChannelCount`.
Validate image format loaded from maps using `CImageInfo::ImageFormatFromInt`. Add `FORMAT_ERROR` to represent invalid formats.
Remove redundant `PixelSize` parameter from graphics backends and commands, which can be derived from the texture format.
Fix memory leak when RGB image data is being converted to RGBA format when saving map in editor.
CGameClient::OnPredict() says "don't predict anything if we are paused"
and yet we predict different stuff based on CGameClient::Predict() result
which leads to flickering here and there (e.g. for projectiles and characters).
