Remove the DDNet and KoG tabs and replace them with a community filter, which works like the country and type filters. Community information (ID, name, icon SHA256, countries, types, servers, ranked maps) is loaded dynamically from the DDNet info json.
The official checkmark icon is replaced with community icons. The icons are downloaded to the `communityicons` folder in the config directory from a URL specified in the DDNet info json. The icons are only re-downloaded when their SHA256 has changed.
Per default, the Internet tab with all communities is selected. When starting the client for the first time, only the DDNet community is selected. The community, country and type filters can also be used on the Favorites tab now. The LAN tab remains unchanged.
The country and type filters are refactored. Previously, using these filters changed the total number of servers and players that were displayed, as the filter was implemented as a separate step. Now the community, country and type filters work like the other browser filters. This also has the benefit that the server list and DDNet info json are not reloaded each time these filters are changed, as updating the local filtering/sorting is enough now.
The check for finished maps is made more efficient by using an `std::unordered_set` instead of linear search.
Closes#5654.
Improve layout of demo browser buttons, search and checkbox. Use icons for most buttons. Decrease size of UI elements.
Move demo details from below the file browser to a side panel on the right, which is the same size as the server browser side panel. Use ellipsis to truncate the SHA256 instead of rendering only half of it with reduced font size. Show "map not included" instead of "0.00 KiB" for the map size of demos that don't include a map.
Remove the "Markers" column, as it is not very useful to see for all demos and sort by.
Closes#7275.
Move the "Filter", "Info" and "Friends" tabs to the top, above the tab content. Use icons instead of text for the tabs. Use animator to animate the tabs on mouse-over. Closes#6613.
Make spacings, corners and font sizes used in the filter, details and friends tabs more consistent.
Remove some unnecessary dark UI rect backgrounds.
Improve alignment of the number of friends with the heart icon for entries in the server list.
Improve layout of countries and types filters. Make the filters scrollable when there are many entries.
Refactor most of the server browser in preparation for replacing the DDNet and KoG tabs with a community filter, which will work like the countries and types filters. Split rendering of different server browser sections into multiple functions to improve readability. Reduce duplicate code for the countries and types filters.
Make the skipping duration adjustable with a dropdown menu. The dropdown menu includes the durations 1s, 5s, 10s, 30s, 1m, 5m and 10m. The default duration is 5s. Skipping durations longer than the current demo are not shown. The dropdown menu is only shown if two or more durations would be shown.
Add buttons for skipping the duration, which was previously only possible with the hotkeys.
Add Ctrl+Left/Right hotkeys for skipping to chapters.
Add Shift+Left/Right hotkeys for adjusting the skipping time.
The Left/Right arrow keys and the J/L keys work identically for all hotkeys now.
Ignore ctrl, shift and alt keys for demo speed changes with the mouse wheel, to better support actions like zooming being bound to alt+mousewheel etc.
Also handle keypad enter key for play/pause like the normal return key.
Use arrow up/down icon for speed adjustment buttons, so that the "backward/forward" icons can be used for duration skipping instead.
Closes#7064.
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.
Add `str_utf8_offset_bytes_to_chars` and `str_utf8_offset_chars_to_bytes` functions to base system to convert between byte and UTF-8 character offsets in UTF-8 strings.
Previously, this was separately implemented in the textrender and in the lineinput helper.
These textrender functions are entirely replaced by the new functions:
- `ITextRender::SelectionToUTF8OffSets` (by `str_utf8_offset_chars_to_bytes`)
- `ITextRender::UTF8OffToDecodedOff` (by `str_utf8_offset_bytes_to_chars`)
- `ITextRender::DecodedOffToUTF8Off` (by `str_utf8_offset_chars_to_bytes`)
These lineinput helper functions are reimplemented using the new functions:
- `CLineInput::OffsetFromActualToDisplay` (uses `str_utf8_offset_bytes_to_chars`)
- `CLineInput::OffsetFromDisplayToActual` (uses `str_utf8_offset_chars_to_bytes`)
Add `fonts/index.json` which specifies:
- List of all font files that should be loaded (filenames).
- Default font (specified by family name or by family and style name).
- Font variants for different languages, using the name of the language file as key.
- Fallback fonts.
- Icon font.
There are characters (e.g. all in `刃直海角骨入`) that look different depending on the language of the content being Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Hangul, because Unicode uses the same codepoint for characters regardless of the language. To render these characters correctly, the active variant font is switched depending on the selected language.
The `ITextRender` interface is changed so the current language variant can be set using `SetFontLanguageVariant` and the default and icon fonts can be toggled using `SetFontPreset`. The class `CFont` is removed entirely.
The text render is restructured: The font faces and font atlas are now managed by a separate class `CGlyphMap` like on upstream. As the text fill and outline textures always have the same size, the texture skyline only needs to be stored once and free positions in the atlas only need to be calculated once for each glyph instead of separately for the fill and outline textures.
The font files and their licenses are also updated:
- Update Source Han Sans to version 2.001.
- Update Glow Sans Japanese Compressed to version 0.93.
- Update Deja Vu Sans to version 2.37.
- Update Font Awesome icons font to March 2023 version.
Closes#6881.
Use icons for all server settings buttons. Rearrange and group buttons.
Show buttons in disabled state when they are not useable instead of hiding them.
Remove checker background from server settings list.
Overhaul hotkeys, also show hotkeys in the tooltips:
- Enter: add command
- Alt+Enter: update command (previously M)
- Alt+Up/Down: move command up/down (previously no hotkey)
- Delete: delete command
Don't activate command lineinput when selecting, moving or deleting elements, as this prevents the listbox from accepting the delete hotkey.
Fix server settings listbox being active while file dialog is open.
Ensure extra editor dragbar area matches the respective toolbar size.
Remove spacing on the left side of extra editors to improve alignment.
Increase status bar button sizes and make them consistent.
Use `enum` to track active extra editor instead of using multiple `bool`s.
Disable extra editor buttons when tile picker is shown, as the extra editors are not rendered in this case.
Use less space for refresh and connect buttons to improve layout with 5:4 and 4:3 resolutions. Closes#5605. Closes#5878.
The "Refreshing..." text is replaced with combined refresh and ellipsis icons.
Alpha and saturation of the green color of the connect button are increased.
Move `CMenus::DoButtonMenu` to `CUI::DoButton_Menu`. Simplify usage by adding `SMenuButtonProperties` parameter object for all optional arguments. Remove unused `ColorHot` parameter.
Separate friends list into three groups, which can be expanded and collapsed: online players, online clanmates and offline friends.
Friends with the same name/clan are no longer grouped together. Instead, each individual player that is online and has name/clan matching a friend is shown in either the online players or online clanmates group. Friends for which no matching players are found are shown in the offline group.
Friends in the friend list can no longer be selected. Instead, left-clicking a friend selects the server that the friend is on. Double-clicking a friend joins the server that they are playing on.
Render small X button in top-right corner of every friend list entry to remove the respective friend instead of using one button that removes the selected friend.
Change "Add Friend" button to "Add Clan" when only clan is entered.
Remove excess empty space from layout.
Closes#6326.
Use `STextContainerIndex` wrapper instead of `int` for text container index for type-safety.
Add missing checks to ensure valid text container index before rendering FPS and finish time text containers.
Port the line input (UI edit boxes, chat, console) and Input Method Editor (IME) support from upstream. Closes#4397.
General
------------------------------
Fix issues with the text input. Closes#4346. Closes#4524.
Word skipping (when holding Ctrl) is overhauled to be consistent with the Windows / Firefox experience that I took as reference.
Improve usability by not blinking (i.e. always rendering) the caret shortly after is has been moved.
UI text input
------------------------------
Fix inconsistent mouse-based left and right scrolling (closes#4347).
Support smooth left and right scrolling.
Chat
------------------------------
Support keyboard-based text selection of the chat input.
Mouse-based selection could be support in the future when we decide to add something like an ingame UI cursor.
Support smooth up and down scrolling of the chat input, removing the old hack that offsets the input string to simulate scrolling.
Console
------------------------------
Also support mouse-based text selection of the command input.
Only text from either the command input or the console log can be selected at the same time. This ensures that Ctrl+C will always copy the text that is currently visually selected in the console.
Check for Ctrl+C input event in event handler instead of in render function, to hopefully fix the issue that copying does not work sometimes (closes#5974 until further notice).
When Ctrl+C is used to copy text from the console log, the selection is cleared. This should make it more clear when text was copied from the log.
Fix an issue that was preventing the console log selection from being cleared, when all log lines are selected.
Remove Ctrl+A/E hotkeys that move cursor to beginning/end respectively. Ctrl+A now selectes all text like for all other inputs. Home and End keys can still be used to go the beginning and end.
Remove Ctrl+U/K hotkeys that clear everything before/after the cursor respectively. Hold shift and use Home/End to select everything instead.
IME support
------------------------------
Render list of IME candidates in the client on Windows, so the candidate list can also be viewed in fullscreen mode. There is no API available to retrieve a candidate list on the other operating systems.
Improve composition rendering by underlining the composition text instead of putting it in square brackets.
Track active input globally to properly activate and deactivate IME through the SDL functions.
Closes#1030. Closes#1008.
Password rendering
------------------------------
Fix rendering of passwords containing unicode. Instead of rendering one star character for each UTF-8 `char`, render on star for every unicode codepoint.
Show the composition text also for passwords. Without seeing the composition text it's hard to type a password containing those characters. The candidate window exposes the composition anyway. If you don't want to expose your password this way, e.g. while streaming, you could:
1. Use a latin password and switch off the IME for the password input with the IME hotkey.
2. Blank your screen with an external program while you are streaming and entering passwords.
3. Use binds to authenticate in rcon or to set the server browser password.
Refactoring
------------------------------
Move all text input logic and general rendering to `CLineInput`.
A `CLineInput` is associated with a particular `char` buffer given as a pointer either in the constructor or with `SetBuffer`. The maximum byte size of the buffer must also be specified. The maximum length in unicode codepoints can also be specified separately (e.g. on upstream, name are limited by the number of unicode codepoints instead).
Add `CLineInputBuffered`, which is a `CLineInput` that own a `char` buffer of a fixed size, which is specified as a template argument. As `CLineInput` does not own a buffer anymore, this reduces duplicate code for line inputs that need their own buffer.
Add `CLineInputNumber` which has additional convenience functions to consider the text as an `int` or `float`, to reduce duplicate code in those cases. In the future we could also add an input filter function so that only numbers can be entered in the number input.
Add `CLineInput::SetClipboardLineCallback` to handle the case that multiple lines of text are pasted into a lineinput. This reduces duplicate code, as this behavior was previously implemented separately for chat and console. The behavior is also fixed to be consistent with the console on Windows, so the first line being pasted edits the current input text and then sends it instead of being sent on its own without the existing input text.
Add `CalcFontSizeAndBoundingBox` to UI to reduce duplicate code. Expose `CalcAlignedCursorPos` as static member function to reuse it for line input.
Dispatch input events to UI inputs through the event handler instead of storing them in a duplicate buffer.
Use `size_t` for line input cursor position, length etc. and for `str_utf8_stats`.
Add `IButtonColorFunction` to UI to describe a functions that defines colors for the Default, Active and Hovered states of UI elements. Add some default button color functions. Use button color function to reduce duplicate code in scrollbar rendering.
Use `vec2` instead of two `floats` to represent the mouse positions in the text renderer.
Remove `CaretPosition` again, as it does not calculate the correct Y position near line breaks due to the wrapping being different when not rendering the entire string. Instead, calculate the exact caret position when rending a text container and store the caret position in the text cursor for later use.
IME usage guide (Windows)
------------------------------
1. Install the respective language and the Microsoft-IME keyboard (e.g. for Chinese, Japanese or Korean).
2. Launch the game (or a text editor to first try out the IME). Note that Windows may track the input language separately for every application. You can change this in the Windows input settings so the input language is changed globally.
2. Switch the input language using the hotkey Windows+Space or another hotkey that you configured in the Windows input settings (Alt+Shift is the default, but you should consider disabling it, to avoid accidentally changing the input language while playing).
3. Switch from Latin/English input mode to the respective asian input mode.
- Chinese: Use Ctrl+Space to switch between English and Chinese input mode. You can change this hotkey in the IME's settings.
- Japanese: Use Ctrl+Space to switch between Alphanumeric and Hiragana/Katakana input mode. You can change this hotkey in the IME's settings.
- Korean: Use Right Alt to switch between English and Hangul input mode. You cannot change this hotkey as of yet.
- Note that the input mode is also tracked per application, but there is no setting to change this behavior as far as I know, so you'll need to switch for every application separately.
4. Start typing. The underlined text is the current composition text. While a composition is active, you can only edit the composition text. Confirm the composition with Space or by selecting a candidate from the candidate list with the arrow keys. Cancel the composition with Escape or by using Backspace to delete the composition text. Note that not all languages offer a candidate list.
SDL version-specific issues
------------------------------
- 2.26.5, 2.24.2, 2.0.22: IME candidates work. But there are minor bugs when moving the composition cursor.
- 2.0.18, 2.0.20: IME candidates work.
- 2.0.16 (our current version): IME candidates cannot be determined with Windows API. Windows tries to draw the composition window like before, so this does not work in fullscreen mode.
- 2.0.8 (upstream 0.7): IME candidates work. But this SDL version is too old for us.
Add flag to temporarily cause the caret to not blink, so the caret can be rendered without blinking after it has been moved, which greatly improves usability.
Makes the text selection easier to see, especially when the text selection height is lower than normal.
Change text selection color to light grey instead of blue.
Add `CTextCursor::m_SelectionHeightFactor` setting to adjust the height of the text selection rectangle. For example a value of `0.5f` means that the selection rectangle has half its normal height while still being aligned at the same bottom position.
Add `CaretPosition` function to get position of text caret. Replace some existing usages of `TextWidth`, which would no longer work correctly for multi-line text.
Having this function is also useful when porting the upstream UI lineinput.
Add separate `STextBoundingBox` to describe text bounding box (same as on upstream). Add `GetBoundingBoxTextContainer` to get bounding box for a text container. Add `TextBoundingBox` function to get bounding box with old text render interface.
Using this function to get the bounding box width and height is cleaner than using `TextWidth`. This function additionally can get the bounding box X and Y position for convenience.
Some usages of `TextWidth` are replaced with `TextBoundingBox` to improve readability.
It will be useful to have these functions when porting the upstream UI lineinput.
Add separate constants `TEXTALIGN_TOP`, `TEXTALIGN_MIDDLE` and `TEXTALIGN_BOTTOM` for vertical alignment.
Add shorthand constants for all possible combinations of horizontal and vertical alignment, e.g. `TEXTALIGN_MC` for `TEXTALIGN_MIDDLE | TEXTALIGN_CENTER`.
Replace usage of `SLabelProperties::m_AlignVertically` with these constants in all menu and editor code for more convenient and versatile alignment of text. Use combined horizontal-vertical alignment constants for all existing labels. Manually adjust layout for some elements which were initially misaligned with the new implementation.
Refactoring:
- Use `CORNER_NONE` instead of `0`.
- Improve some `CUIRect` variables names and usage.
Calculate text height for popups with `TextWidth` instead of using `TextLineCount`, which can be incorrect if the aligned font size differs from the normal one.
Also calculate text height in `TextWidth`.
Use calculated text height to verically center UI labels.
The text cursor flags (in particular, the `TEXTFLAG_STOP_AT_END` flag) must also be passed to `TextWidth`. Otherwise, for example, when `TEXTFLAG_STOP_AT_END` is missing, the wrong text height is calculated, as text is rendered over multiple lines instead of stopping at the end of the first line.
Closes#5396.
When a word is rendered over the maximum line width it should be moved to the next line.
However, this was not working correctly if the word ends with a newline instead of a space, because then the text x-advance including this word did not exceed the maximum width, as the newline caused the x-advance to be reset before it can be used.
This is fixed by replacing the unused flag `TEXTFLAG_ALLOW_NEWLINE` with the flag `TEXTFLAG_DISALLOW_NEWLINE`, which causes newline characters to be replaced with space characters. This flag is then used when calculating whether the next word fits in the current line.
Closes#4541.
The `RecreateTextContainer` function calls `DeleteTextContainer` and then `CreateTextContainer`.
The arguments of `RecreateTextContainer` and `RecreateTextContainerSoft` are reordered so all functions take the text container as their first argument.
- Use `nullptr` instead of `NULL` and `0`.
- Consistently use `unsigned` for render flags instead of mixing `int` and `unsigned`.
- Use `constexpr` instead of `#define` for constants.
- Use prefix `S` for struct instead of `C`.
- Use `\0` instead of `0` for characters.
- Mark various methods as `const` when possible.
- Mark variables and pointer parameters as `const` when possible.
- Remove `const` from pointer parameters where constness was later removed by casting to `void *` anyway.
- Use `size_t` directly for loop variables and parameters which are being cast to `size_t` later anyway.
- Move variable declarations closer to usages.
- Fix variable names.
- Add/remove empty lines to improve readability.
- Use loops to reduce duplicate code.
- Use `bool` instead of `int`.
- Replace nested `if`s with single `if` using `&&` to reduce indentation and improve readability.
- Remove unnecessary temporary variables.
- Reorder includes.
